DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Office of the Secretary Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Washington, D.C. 20201 September 15, 2017 FOIA Case No: 2017-00519-FOIA-OS Austin R. Evers, Executive Director Sara Kaiser Creighton, Counsel American Oversight 1030 15th Street, NW, Suite B255 Washington, DC 20005 Dear Mr. Evers and Ms. Creighton: This letter responds to your FOIA request, which the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA) received on March 15, 2017, seeking: 1. Records sufficient to identify all employees who entered into a position at the agency as “political appointees” since January 20, 2017, and the title or position of each employee (to the extent that such individuals have held multiple titles or positions since January 20, 2017, identify each title or position). For purposes of this request, please consider any employee in a PAS position, a presidentially-appointed position, a non-career SES position, or a Schedule C position a “political appointee.” 2. Records sufficient to identify all career employees who have been detailed into a leadership office or component front office since January 20, 2017; the title or position of each employee while on detail (to the extent that such individuals have held multiple titles or positions since January 20, 2017, identify each title or position); and each employee’s originating agency or component, and title. 3. Records sufficient to identify the members of the “beachhead teams” who joined the agency at the beginning of the Trump administration, and the title or position of each employee (to the extent that such individuals have held multiple titles or positions since January 20, 2017, identify each title or position). 4. For each individual identified in response to requests 1 to 3: a. The resume provided by the individual to the agency in connection with determining the appropriate salary for the individual, or, if that is not available, a recent resume contained within the agency’s records. b. Any conflicts or ethics waivers or authorizations issued for the individual, including authorizations pursuant to 5 C.F.R. § 2635.502. American Oversight Litigation: FOIA Case No. 2017-00519-FOIA-OS Page 1 of 4 5. Records sufficient to identify the members of the “landing teams” or “transition teams” who were embedded with the agency for transition purposes by the Trump transition organization between the November 2016 election and the Trump administration.” Our office has located 316 pages of documents responsive to your request 1. After review of those pages, I have determined that while the majority of the records may be released to you in full, portions of these records are properly withheld pursuant to FOIA Exemption 6 2, further discussed below. Exemption 6 Exemption 6 of the FOIA protects information about individuals in “personnel and medical files and similar files” when the disclosure of such information “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” 3 In order to satisfy the requirements for Exemption 6 protection, the following criteria must be met: first, the information must be contained in a personnel, medical, or “similar” file; and, second, the disclosure of the information must “constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy.” The second criterion requires government agencies to balance the privacy interest that would be compromised by disclosure against any public interest in the requested information. 4 The first Exemption 6 criterion is easily met in most cases. The Supreme Court has held that Congress intended for the term “similar files” to be interpreted broadly, rather than narrowly, and that the protection of an individual’s privacy “surely was not intended to turn upon the label of the file which contains the damaging information.” 5 Rather, the Supreme Court has made clear that all information that “applies to a particular individual” meets the threshold requirement for Exemption 6 protection. Once the first criterion is established, in order for information to be withheld pursuant to Exemption 6, it is necessary to show that a release of the information “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy.” In the FOIA context, the Supreme Court has held that information need not be intimate or embarrassing to qualify for protection under privacy grounds. 6 Privacy interests have been found to exist under the FOIA in personally identifying information such as a person’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth, criminal history, medical history, or social security number. As long as the privacy interest is substantial (i.e., greater than de minimis), it may qualify for protection under Exemption 6. 1 HHS has been in a hiring freeze effective since January 20, 2017; there are no records of details since that date. There are also no records responsive to Item 5, as the Assistant Secretary for Administration/Office of Human Resources does not maintain records for non-employees. Additional records responsive to your request have been made publically available on the U.S. Office of Government Ethics website located at: https://www.oge.gov/web/OGE.nsf/0/67460009B646BBF88525813800566276/$FILE/Certain%20agency%20recor ds%20recd%20in%20response%20to%20PA-17-02.pdf. 2 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(5); (b)(6) 3 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) 4 See Multi Ag Media LLC v. USDA, 515 F.3d 1224, 1228 (D.C. Cir. 2008); News-Press v. DHS, 489 F.3d 1173, 1196-97 (11th Cir. 2007). 5 Dep’t of State v. Wash. Post Co., 456 U.S. 595, 599-603 (1982). 6 See Wash. Post Co., 456 U.S. at 600. American Oversight Litigation: FOIA Case No. 2017-00519-FOIA-OS Page 2 of 4 When a substantial privacy interest is established, an agency must then “address the question of whether the public interest in disclosure outweighs the individual privacy concerns.” 7 The burden of establishing that a release of the requested information would serve the public interest is on the requester. 8 Moreover, the Supreme Court has limited the concept of the public interest under FOIA to “shed[ding] light on an agency’s performance of its statutory duties” and has stressed that information that does not reveal the operations or activities of the federal government “falls outside the ambit of the public interest that the FOIA was enacted to serve.” 9 Exemption 6 was invoked specifically to protect the names, telephone numbers, addresses, email addresses, personal familial and medical information, professional social media links, and previous private sector salaries, the contents of which could reasonably be traced back or related to an individual. Given the nature of these records, the individuals identified in these records have a substantial privacy interest in protecting the withheld information. Furthermore, as you stated in your request, you have no objection to the redaction of contact information for the employee or references, nor to the redaction of past salary information. Finally, in order to overcome a substantial privacy interest, it is necessary to establish that the public interest in disclosure outweighs the individual privacy concerns. Because the identified individuals’ privacy interests outweigh the public interest in this case, I am protecting portions of the information withheld pursuant to Exemption 6. I apologize for the delay in responding to your FOIA request. If you believe that the information withheld should not be exempt from disclosure, or this response constitutes an adverse determination, you may appeal. By filing an appeal, you preserve your rights under FOIA and give the agency a chance to review and reconsider your request and the agency’s decision. Your appeal must be mailed within 90 days from the date of receipt of this letter to: Ms. Catherine Teti Deputy Agency Chief FOIA Officer U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Room 729H 200 Independence Avenue, S.W.

Birthed from the historic settlement of a class action lawsuit by 47 states against tobacco companies, the foundation will disperse a minimum of $400 million in healthcare-related and antismoking initiatives] Executive Director (01/2000 06/2001) Appointed by Governor to head foundation and exhorted to exhibit the same imagination, drive, and energy previously displayed in inaugurating numerous reforms at Social Services. Challenged to design foundation from ground zero; to recruit/ hireXtrain staff and define their responsibilities; to determine, pioneer, and inaugurate program initiatives; and to ensure a harmonious relationship between all personnel and the 23 Board ofTrustee members. Selected Achievements: I Created an atmosphere and forum where opposing forces (growers, manufacturers, retailers, antismoking activists, healthcare community) on extremely emotional issue can peacefully c0exist with an expectation their sides will be fairly heard. I Orchestrated landmark educational forum, which brought together intractable opponents for the first time ever, to discuss numerous aspects of tobacco issue. Achieved major breakthrough in getting all sides to agree on the desirability of developing a rational approach to a shared dilemma.

Challenged to clearly articulate the vision for welfare reform, to interpret the Governor?s vision for human service programs to the localities, to set policies and procedures, and to move an intractable bureaucracy toward unprecedented change. Led staff of 1,500 who supported another 6,500 local workers in 121 social services departments. Supervised senior leadership team, including eight direct reports. Administered annual operating budget of federal, state, and local dollars exceeding $1 billion and oversaw 41 separate programs and initiatives. Budgetary responsibility included presentation to General Assembly and guidance through all legislative stages leading up to and including passage. As Human Services liaison, advised Governor and Secretary on issuesX trends, recommended modi?cations to state law, and testi?ed before legislature to gain passage of initiatives. Represented agency before the media, state/ federal/ local governments, and other human service organizations nationwide. Selected Achievements: I Joined with Governor and Cabinet Secretary to design welfare reform legislation. Determined operational parameters, secured federal operating waivers, and lobbied legislature to ensure passage. I Overhauled agency design and function to deliver services more efficiently, implement new programs/initiatives, and best serve customer base. I Spearheaded and shepherded welfare reform program?s successful implementation. Convinced frontline bureaucracy of its merits, overcame objections of recalcitrant jurisdictions, and changed internal procedures and operational culture to accept new paradigm. CLARENCE H. CARTER PAGEsors Virginia Department of Social Services continued I Saved Virginia taxpayers over $200 million during first four years after implementation of reform. Cut welfare roles 51% (from 74,000 to 35,000) and enabled over 30,000 previously idle public assistance recipients to find jobs and realize $130 million in new earnings. I Rehabilitated development and oversaw successful implementation of a major computer system that was four years overdue and milli0ns over budget. Interfaced with major players and reengineered the design, which resulted in ability to convert to new state-of-the-art eligibility determination system. I Increased federal revenues $50 million annually by pioneering system to more accurately report and categorize federal spending. Also instituted a program that expedited increa5e of federai monies to localities. Virginia Department of Social Services - continued I Created Office of Inspector General to provide a first-ever nucleus for operational integrity. Combined existing integrity functions (such as internal audit and hearings of?cers) with new initiatives in order to provide the Commissioner with accurate and ongoing internal review of agency programs. I Redesigned human services operation to emphasize frontline support and strengthen regional office system. The ?Millennium Project? brought together representatives of the various offices and programs served by the central office, determined regional configuration that best served their needs, and established an augmented network. I Designed and launched Management Assistance Program. MAP examined in-depth all local agency processes, provided recommendations for improvement, and transformed a program-specific and fragmented evaluation approach into an integrated and holistic process?improvement review. Convinced once bitterly opposed 10calities, who feared being exposed as deficient, that the review was as concerned with process improvement for the state as it was local agencies. There is now a waiting list of volunteers to be the next agency reviewed. I Collected $54 million in child support from non-custodial parents. Presided over the design and launch of an amnesty program guaranteeing parents in arrears that the Commonwealth would not initiate punitive action providing they contacted the department and entered into payment arrangements.

After weighing the factors articulated in section 502(d), and consulting with the OGC Ethics Division for the Department, I have determined that the govemmental interest in your participation in these specific party matters outweighs any countervailing appearance concems and authorize your participation in these particular matters as described in more detail, and subject to the limitations, below. BACKGROLIND On May 19,2017 , you resigned your positions with Nebraska and NAMD to accept an appointment as Senior Counselor to the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), whichbeganonMay22,2017. As Senior Counselor, you are responsible for advising me on matters related to the Medicaid and CHIP programs. You are also regularly tasked with leading efforts relevant to CMS's stated objective of refonning the state-federal parlnership that exists in the administration of the Medicaid program and uéhering in a new era of state flexibility. For example you have been tasked with coordinating a review of certain federal Medicaid regulations and ensuring that they provide states with sufficient operational flexibility and do not place undue burdens on their programs. At times you may be asked to represent me and CMS in meetings with key stakeholders and with state and territorial govemments. You work closely with leadership in the Centers for Medicaid and CHIP Seruices (CMCS) to ensure that I am equipped with the information I need to ensure successful management of the program and that the center understands my prioritìes and direction. During the one year prior to your appointment at CMS, you were an employee of the State of Nebraska and a board rnember of NAMD. On March 9,2015, you were appointed by Nebraska Govemor Pete Ricketts to serve as the Director of the Division of Medicaid and Long-term Care within the Nebraska Department of Heaith and Human Serwices (NDHHS). In this role you served as the director of the single state agency responsible for the administration of the Medicaid and CHIP programs for the State of Nebraska. During your tenure with NDHHS, you were elected by the Midwest regional Medicaid directors to selve as one of the two Midwest representatives on the board of NAMD. Your term began on January 1, 2017 and continued until your resiglation Íìom your position as Nebraska's Medicaid director on May 19,2017. NAMD is a 501(c)(3) bipartisan, nonprofit, professional organization that represents each of the 50 states, District of columbia and u.S. territories. The NAMD board ofdirectors is comprised of 12 members; a president, vice president, immediate past president, two representatives from each offour regions in the United States and one representative from the U.S. Territories. The officers are elected by a national vote of the membership, comprised solely ofstate Medicaid directors, and the regional representatives are elected by the state members of the appropriate region. Emplol.rnent as a state Medicaid director is a prerequisite for NAMD board membership. At no time were you paid by NAMD for your service as a board member, nor did you ever participate directly in any financial matters relating to the organization. You have no past or present financial interest in the or ganization. As the Senior Counselor, you bring direct state operational experience to the leadership team at CMS. This rnakes you effective at providing advice and counsel relative to how federal policy and regulations will impact states and beneficiaries. This experience and perspective has signi{icant value to the federal govemment and aids cMS in achieving its mission. while the majority of your work is not at a decision-making level, you may become involved in particular matters involving specific state parties and pafticula¡ matters of general applicability. To effectively carry out your firnction as Senior Counselor, you will necessarily work \¡/ith states and other industry stakeholders. As a senior political appointee at cMS, it is important that you be able to effectively work with all states and tenitories during a time of significant reform. ANALYSIS OF FACTORS UNDER THE ETHICS STANDARDS Under the Standards of Ethical Conduct of Employees of the Executive Branch, a Federal employee may not participate in a particular matter which involves specific parlies if one of the parties is, or is represented by, an entity with which the employee has a ,,covered relationship,', as defined in the regulations, and where the circumstances would cause a reasonable person to question the employee's impartiality in the matter. "Covered relationships" include petsons or entities for which the Federal employee served as an employee, general partner, consultant, or contractor during the prior year. 5 C.F.R. $ 263 5.502(bX1)(iv). This requirernent of disqualification only applies to "particular matters involving specific parties" and not to 'þarticular matters of general applicability," such as broad policy matters. It applies, for example, to grant awards and contracts and other matters involving a specific request, determination or ruling, but not to legislation or regulations that might affect an entity as part of a group. Also, an exception to this rule is available if the interest of the Federal Govemment in an employee's participation outweighs concem about a potential appearance oflack of integrity in the agency's program and operations. 5 C.F.R. $ 2635.502(d). You have a covered relationship with Nebraska and NAMD. Your recent emplo¡.,rnent by Nebraska and board service to NAMD would likely cause a reasonable person to question your impartiality. Therefore, in order for you to participate in a particular matter in which Nebraska or NAMD is a party or represents a party, I must first authorize your participation after determining - in light of all the circumstances - that the interest of the Govemment in your participation outweighs the concem that a reasonable person may question the integrity of the programs and operations of the Department of Health and Human Services. I may consider the following factors in determining whether to authorize your participation: the nature ofthe relationship involved; the effect that resolution of the matter(s) would have on the finances of Nebraska or NAMD; the nature and importance of your role in the matter(s); the sensitivity ofthe matte(s); the difficulty in reassigning the matter(s) to another employee; and adjustments that may be made in your duties that would eliminate the likelihood that a reasonable person would question your impartiality. 5 C.F.R. $ 2635.502(d). Each factor is considered below. I . Nature of the relationshþ. You served Nebraska for two years of your approximately nine year career in state govemment health care administration and served approximately four and a half months as a board member of NAMD. You aÍenoton a leave ofabsence or in any other way continuing a relationship with the State of Nebraska or NAMD. You have retained no personal financial interests that would create a conflict of interest with the State ofNebraska and you never possessed a financial interest in or exercised management responsibilities over NAMD. 2. Effect of the matter on thefinances of State of Nebraska or NAMD. As a Senior Counselor in CMS, you are nost likely to participate in state-focused matters such as Medicaid and health reform. As such, your work may have significance to states' financial interest, including that ofNebraska. As stated above, however, your work will not be at a decisionmaking level, but you will function as a subject matter expeft and surogate, at times, for me in specific party matters involving states and other stakeholders. For instance, you may be asked to offer advice or direction in the review of a state's application for a Medicaid waiver, which would directly affect that state's budget, resource allocation and whether it receives federal Medicaid funds. Inasmuch as your participation in state specific party matters is an application of or is concemed with departmental or Administration policy, it would be unlikely that such application ofpolicy would favorably advantage any particular state, but would rather be presumed to have equal application to ai1 similarly situated states. interests would not be affected by matters on which you would work. NAMD is funded by dues f¡om the states, who pay according to their total population. Given the nature ofyour role, you could have no significant effect on the dues states owe or on their ability to pay such dues. NAMD's financial 3. Nature and importance ofyour rol¿. You were selected for your unique expertrse based on your career in public service and your highly unique practical experience in dealing with issues similar to those which will arise in your duties in CMS. As the Senior Counselor, you bring direct state operational experience to the leadership team at CMS. This makes you effective at providing advice and counsel relative to how federal policy and regulations will impact states and beneficiaries. This experience and perspective has significant value to the federal govemment and helping CMS achieve its mission. As a senior political appointee at CMS, it is important that you be able to effectively work with all states and te¡ritories during a time of significant reform. I should have the flexibility to use the most qualified employees that a¡e available to the Department as I deal with state, local and tribal govemments. 4. Sensitivíty of the matter. The vast majority of specific-party matters involving Nebraska will likely be of the same nature as similar matters involving other states. Due to the nature ofthe health reform legislation, both existìng and pending, it is true that some matters of special sensitivity may arise which may or may not involve Neb¡aska. In my opinion, this possibility is greatly outweighed by the other factors, especially your unique experience with similar issues, which strongly tend in favor of your participation in matters which might involve Nebraska. All states are represented by NAMD. NAMD membership is comprised solely of state and territorial govemments. States rely on NAMD to effectively communicate and liaise with the federal govemment on matters impacting state Medicaid progtams. NAMD and its staff will rarely have a specific party matter related to the organization itself before CMS, but may often be present during broader conversations with state leadership about matters that impact many or all states. 5. Dfficulty of reassigníng the matter. Because ofyour expertise, your duties would not be readily assignable to another ernployee, without significant cost to the efficiency of agency operations. ,See 5 C.F.R. $ 2635.502(dX5). You ate the only Senior Counselor and the only advisor in the Offrce of the Administrator with experience as a state Medicaid director and a national leadership role representing state Medicaid directors. It would be inefficient and would unduly disadvantage the citizens ofNebraska were CMS to engage with a single state in a manner different than the other states and territories. While leadership frorn CMCS will often also be present, it is important that the Office of the Administrator have an effective presence and parlicipate in key dialogues with states and their repres entatives. Furthermore it is a burden on the states to deny the only organization that collectively represents state Medicaid programs access to the Senior Counselor to the Administrator for Medicaidrelated matters. As stated above, you were appointed because of your familiarity and experience in this area and to help implønent the Administration's priorities. 6. Adjustments to your duties. You were brought to CMS because ofthe experience and expertise you acquired as a state Medicaid director and national leader among state Medicaid directors. Alteration to your duties would undermine the value you bring to the Department. As stated above, such alterations would be inefficient, where the Department and I would lose the benefit of your expertise on party matters concerning Nebraska. Further, it would disadvantage the citizens of Nebraska inasmuch as other states could rely on and benefit from your involvement and input in their party matters. Were your duties to exclude liaising with NAMD, all states and territories would lose the benefit of your experience and I would lose a critical and uniquely knowledgeable representative in party matters involving NAMD. LIMITATIONS This authorization is limited in scope. You would still be restricted from participating, as part of your official HHS duties, in the same particular matter on which you had worked while you were employed by Nebraska. While it is highly unlikely that a speciñc-party matter that directly involved NAMD's financial interests, such as a grant or a contract, would come before CMS, in the event that one were to arise, you would not be assigned to work on such a matter and would recuse from participation in it. DECISION Based upon consultation with the OGC Ethics Division, and my determination, made in accordance with 5 C.F.R. ç 2635.502(d), that in light of all the circumstances, the interest of the Government in your participation in specific party matters involving the State of Nebraska or NAMD as a party or party representative outweighs concern about a potential appearance of lack of integrity, the authorization as described above, is hereby granted. The authorization is expressly limited as described above. Seema 7l V ,+lw Date Centers for Medicare cc: Paul-Jon Benson, OGC/Ethics Karena Dees, OGC/Ethics Brian Colas, CMS Chief of Staff Joe Dion, CMS & Medicaid Services MEMORANDUM FOR GENEVIEVE MORRIS TO: Genevieve Morris Principal Deputy National Coordinator for Health Information Technology FROM: Donald Rucker, MD. National Coordinator for Health Information Technology DATE: July 20, 2017 SUBJECT: Limited Authorization to Participate in a Speci?c-Party Matter Involving Audacious Inquiry, a Former Employer The purpose of this memorandum is to authorize you, pursuant to 5 C.F.R. to participate in a speci?c-party matter involving your former employer, Audacious Inquiry. After weighing the factors articulated in section 502(d), and consulting with the Ethics Division of the Of?ce of the General Counsel, I have determined that the governmental interest in your participation in this speci?c-party matter outweighs any countervailing appearance concerns and authorize your participation in this particular matter as described in more detail below. You remain subject to the application of the prior employer provisions of 5 C.F.R. 2635.502 with respect to speci?c-party matters involving Audacious Inquiry not described in this authorization. Thus, you still have a recusal requirement from any other speci?c?party matters involving Audacious Inquiry until you receive an authorization or Ethics Pledge waiver, as appropriate, or the provisions ofthe Ethics Pledge and 2635.502 no longer apply to 52011.1 BACKGROUND You serve as the Principal Deputy National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (Principal Deputy) in the Of?ce of the National Coordinator (ONC) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). ONC is the principal federal entity charged with the coordination of nationwide efforts to implement and use the most advanced health information technology and the electronic exchange of health information. ONC oversees the Health IT Certi?cation Program, which provides assurance to purchasers and other users that a computer system meets the technological capability, functionality, and security requirements adopted by HHS. ONC also addresses privacy concerns for the use of health IT, the interoperability of health IT systems, and other policy issues. As Principal Deputy, your duties involve the development and implementation of the Administration?s policies for health IT, including issues of interoperability and trust frameworks in health IT. Your duties also include establishing overall program goals and objectives, and 1 Please note that the Ethics Pledge (Executive Order 13770) separately requires recusal from speci?c party matters involving a former employer or former clients to whom you provided services in the two years prior to your appointment. This recusal obligation extends for two years from the date of your appointment. The Pledge, however, exempts meetings addressing particular matters of general applicability where participation in the meeting is open to all interested parties, including the speci?c-party matter under consideration. See E.O 13770, See. see also DO-09-020 (noting the Pledge was not designed to bar every of?cial speech involving a former employer). Page 2 Genevieve Morris developing policies and standards with ONC leadership to accomplish these goals. You are a subj ect-matter expert on a number topics, including health information exchanges, interoperability, trust frameworks, and certi?cation issues. During the one year period preceding your appointment, you served as the Senior Director for Health IT Policy at Audacious Inquiry Ai is a health IT consulting ?rm. It is also one of contractors, providing support on a number of technical issues. While at Ai, you provided services to ON on several areas within your technica expertise. You have had a recusal obligation for speci?c-party matters where A1 is a party or represents a party since your appointment. Your work as Principal Deputy at ONC will include both policy level work and work on particular matters. You recently asked whether you could participate in a meeting called the ONC Network to Network Common Agreement Kick-off Meeting and Webinar (?Common Agreement meeting?), hosted by ONC on July 26, 2017 from 10am to 3pm in the Southwest Complex. The meeting is intended as a public, open meeting regarding policy- making and rulemaking to establish a Common Agreement for health information exchange interoperability that will impact and be applicable to the health IT industry as prescribed in the 21St Century Cures Act. You will present information on the Administration?s perspective on the legislation and the agency?s plan for addressing requirements under the Act. As part of the Common Agreement meeting, Ai has been asked to present information as subject matter experts. You will not be presenting information alongside Ai, and you will not work with Ai in order to prepare your remarks at the meeting. Nonetheless, because of your recusal obligations, you may not participate in this meeting involving Ai without authOrization. LEGAL ANALYSIS Under the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch, a Federal employee may not participate in a particular matter involving speci?c parties if one of the parties is, or is represented by, an entity with which the employee has a ?covered relationship? and where the circumstances would cause a reasonable person to question the employee?s impartiality in the matter. ?Covered relationships? include persons or entities for which the employee has within the last year served as an employee or consultant. See 5 C.F.R. This requirement of disquali?cation only applies to ?particular matters involving speci?c parties? also called speci?c-party matters and not to ?particular matters of general applicability? or broad policy matters. It applies, for example, to litigation, grant awards, contracts and other matters involving a speci?c request, determination or ruling, but not to legislation or regulations that might affect an entity as part of a group. Under the applicable regulations, speeches and meetings involving a former employer may be considered a speci?c- party matter. See OGE Informal Advisory Letter 98x14 (noting participation in certain assignments in which a former employer is an active participant implicates Section 2635.502); OGE Informal Advisory Letter 94x14 (same). When an employee?s participation in a particular matter involving speci?c parties gives rise to a concern about the employee?s impartiality in the matter, the employee may be authorized to participate in the matter if the federal government?s Page 3 Genevieve Morris interest in the employee?s participation outweighs the concern of a potential appearance of a lack of integrity in the agency?s program and operations. See 5 C.F.R. Because you served as the Senior Director for Health IT policy for Ai until your appointment, you have a covered relationship with Ai. The Common Agreement meeting is a speci?c-party matter because of Ai?s participation in the meeting. Moreover, you provided services to ONC while in your role at Ai on issues that now overlap with your current position, and a reasonable person could question your impartiality in matters involving Ai. Therefore, you are disquali?ed from participating in the Common Agreement meeting unless I authorize your participation after determining in light of all the circumstances that the interest of the government in your participation outweighs the concern that a reasonable person may question the integrity of the programs and operations of ONC or HHS. The ethics regulations provide that I may consider the following factors in determining whether to authorize your participation: E?ect of the matter on the ?nances of Ai. ONC engaged Ai to give two presentations at the Common Agreement meeting: a gap analysis highlighting the commonalities and disparities among current national trust frameworks, and subject matter expertise on current interoperable network-to-network connectivity. Ai is participating in the Common Agreement pursuant to an ongoing contract that was awarded before your appointment at ONC. Nature of the relationship. You worked at Ai from September 201 1 until May 2017 in a senior leadership role. While in that role, you spent a signi?cant amount of time working on matters where ONC was the client of Ai. At times, you worked out of ONC of?ce space and alongside ONC employees. You no longer have a relationship with Ai, and do not have any ?nancial interest in Ai. In your time at Ai, you developed professional and personal relationships with your colleagues, but you have made it clear to Ai that as an executive branch employee, you can only discuss issues related to your government work through of?cial channels. Since your appointment at ONC, you received advice from your ethics counsel to recuse from any speci?c-party matter involving Ai. Upon being asked to participate in the Common Agreement meeting and learning that Ai was involved, you approached your ethics counsel to determine whether participation was permissible. You have been asked to present information at the meeting on behalf of ONC, but you will not work with Ai in any development of your remarks or the information that Ai will present. Furthermore, you agreed that you will not participate in any evaluation of Ai?s performance, or any other discussions related to its performance under its contract with ONC. Nature and importance of your role. You are the Principal Deputy, one of three political appointees currently at ONC. As stated above, one of your primary responsibilities is the development and implementation of the Administration?s policies for health IT. As a senior political leader at ONC with signi?cant policy and subject matter expertise, it is important that Someone at your level with your experience address the Administration?s priorities and intended Page 4 Genevieve Morris policy at the Common Agreement meeting. You will not have any impact on the information provided by Ai, nor affect the evaluation of Ai?s performance in its work. Sensitivity of the matter. The Common Agreement meeting will be a public meeting and open 4-..-.. 1 to all interested parties. It will adu1cb'5 policy and rulemaking required under me 1st Ceuwu Cures Act. Attendees will be able to assess your remarks in light of the entire meeting, and therefore, your participation is unlikely to raise serious issues of impartiality. Furthermore, because you have agreed to recuse from any matters arising under the performance 1" Ai?s contract, other contractors and entities seeking to do business with are unllkely to raise signi?cant issues of impartiality. Difficulty of reassigning the matter. As discussed above, you have signi?cant experience in the issues being discussed at the Common Agreement meeting. Moreover, you are one of the senior leaders at ONC. Participation in this matter by a member of senior leadership with signi?cant technical expertise is essential as ONC begins to develop policy and rulemaking required by the 21St Century Cures Act. Reassignment of this activity to another employee at ONC would cause risk to efforts to implement the requirements of the Act. Adjustments to your duties. Due to the nature of the Common Agreement meeting, your planned participation in the meeting, and Ai?s role at the meeting, it would be both dif?cult and impractical to adjust your job duties. The determination and authorization provisions of the ethics regulations recognize that agencies cannot have unreasonably restrictive requirements of disquali?cation that prevent the use of the most quali?ed employees in matters such as this. There will be no overlap between your participation and Ai?s participation in this matter. You will not otherwise participate in any speci?c-party matter involving Ai as a party or representative of a party without prior authorization. DECISION Based upon my review of the relevant factors, made in accordance with 5 C.F.R. and in light of all the circumstances, the interest of the government in your participation in the Common Agreement meeting, which involves Audacious Inquiry as a party, outweighs any concern about a potential appearance of lack of integrity. I therefore authorize your participation on a limited basis as described above. This limited authorization does not affect your recusal obligation arising from you former employment with Audacious Inquiry in other speci?c-party Date cc: OGC/Ethics Division DEMETRIOS L.
