§ 1.3000   Purpose and scope.

   The purpose of this subpart is to implement the Telecommunications
   Authorization Act of 1992 which amended the Communications Act by
   creating section 4(g)(3), 47 U.S.C. 154(g)(3). The provisions of this
   subpart shall apply to gifts, donations and bequests made to the
   Commission itself. Travel reimbursement for attendance at, or
   participation in, government-sponsored meetings or events required to
   carry out the Commission's statutory or regulatory functions may also
   be accepted under this subpart. The acceptance of gifts by Commission
   employees, most notably gifts of food, drink and entertainment, is
   governed by the government-wide standards of employee conduct
   established at 5 CFR part 2635. Travel, subsistence and related
   expenses for non-government-sponsored meetings or events will continue
   to be accepted pursuant to the Government Employees Training Act, 41
   U.S.C. 4111 or 31 U.S.C. 1353, and its General Services
   Administration's implementing regulations, 41 CFR 304-1.8, as
   applicable.
