Request an Individual's Ethics Documents

The OGE Form 201 collects certain information from, and provides certain information to, persons who seek access to public financial disclosure reports and to other covered records. The form, with the proposed modifications, reflects the requirements of the Ethics in Government Act, including the Representative Louise McIntosh Slaughter Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act), as amended in 2013. These requirements relate to information collected about the identity of the requester, as well as any other person on whose behalf a record is sought, and requires that the requester acknowledge his or her awareness of the legal uses of the information contained in public financial disclosure reports and potential civil penalties for persons who obtain or use a public financial disclosure report for a prohibited purpose. The form also alerts requestors that intentional falsification of the information required by the form may result in prosecution under 18 U.S.C. section 1001. Requestors are mostly members of the public, particularly representatives of the news media, public interest groups, and private citizens, with some Federal agencies and employees.

The latest form for Request an Individual's Ethics Documents expires 2029-05-31 and is listed under ICR 202602-3209-001.
