Environmental Protection Agency

Standards Of Employee Conduct

Need Improvement

Standards ot conduct for Environmental Pro-
tection Agency employees do not adequately
address certain issues facing employees in
carrying out their official duties. The
Agency could improve its program by (1)
making employees aware of their responsi-
bilities under the standards, (2) applying the
standards consistently, and (3) identifying
conduct areas requiring additional guidance.

GAO recommends the Agency correct identi-
fied deficiencies, periodically review  and
evaluate the standards for needed revisions,
and more effectively implement its standards
of conduct by

     --increasing employees' awareness of the
     standards,

     --developing guidance for use by deputy
     counselors in applying the standards
     and establishing procedures for regular
     communication between deputy coun-
     selors and the Agency counse.lor,

     --developing criteria on resolutions to
     conflict of interest problems, and

     --involving the Inspector General in
     evaluating the effectiveness of the
     standards.                                              109283
