SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Executive Branch Confidential Financial Disclosure Report.
    Agency Form Number: OGE Form 450.
    OMB Control Number: 3209-0006.
    Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved 
collection.
    Type of Review Request: Regular.
    Respondents: Prospective Government employees, including special 
Government employees, whose positions are designated for confidential 
disclosure filing and whose agencies require that they file new entrant 
confidential disclosure reports prior to assuming Government 
responsibilities.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 24,640.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 73,920 hours.
    Abstract: The OGE Form 450 collects information from covered 
department and agency employees as required under OGE's executive 
branch wide regulatory provisions in subpart I of 5 CFR part 2634. The 
basis for the OGE reporting regulation is section 201(d) of Executive 
Order 12674 of April 12, 1989 (as modified by Executive Order 12731 of 
October 17, 1990) and section 107(a) of the Ethics in Government Act, 5 
U.S.C. app. sec. 107(a). OGE proposes several modifications to the 
form.
    On October 5, 2016, OGE published a proposed rule for amending 5 
CFR part 2634. See 81 FR 69204-69238 (October 5, 2016). The proposed 
modifications to the OGE Form 450 revise the instructions to reflect 
the changes to the financial disclosure regulation, if adopted as 
final. Specifically, OGE proposes to: Change the reporting periods for 
each part completed by new entrants; change the income disclosure 
threshold to $1,000 of received income; eliminate the disclosure of 
diversified funds held within an employee benefit plan; clarify that 
the disclosure requirement for agreements and arrangements includes 
those with a current employer; eliminate the disclosure of continued 
participation in a defined contribution plan to which an employer is no 
longer making contributions; and combine gifts and travel reimbursement 
into a single

category for purposes of applying the disclosure thresholds.
    OGE is also proposing to update the Privacy Act Statement in 
accordance with changes to the applicable system of records, update the 
examples provided on the last page of the form, and make other minor 
technical changes.
    Request for Comments: OGE is publishing this first round notice of 
its intent to request paperwork clearance for a proposed modified OGE 
Form 450. Public comment is invited specifically on the need for and 
practical utility of this information collection, the accuracy of OGE's 
burden estimate, the enhancement of quality, utility and clarity of the 
information collected, and the minimization of burden (including the 
use of information technology). Comments received in response to this 
notice will be summarized for, and may be included with, the OGE 
request for extension of OMB paperwork approval. The comments will also 
become a matter of public record.

    Approved: July 3, 2018.

Acting Director and General Counsel, Office of Government Ethics.
