The general rule is that no persons who exercise or have exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to federally funded activities, or who are in a position to participate in the decision-making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities, may obtain a financial interest or benefit from a federally–assisted activity, or have a financial interest in any contract, subcontract, or agreement with respect to a federally- assisted activity, or with respect to the proceeds of the federally-assisted activity, either for themselves or those with whom they have business or immediate family ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter.
