I am an NIH employee and need to understand the requirements for filing a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE-450). Please identify which employees are required to file, the typical deadlines for both annual and new entrant filers, where to find the instructions for completing the report, and who to contact for questions or extensions.
Navigate to 'ethics.od.nih.gov'. From the homepage, navigate to the 'Confidential (OGE-450)' page. This may involve clicking the 'Confidential (OGE-450)' link directly or navigating through the 'Financial Disclosure' section via its 'Read more' link first. Identify the criteria for employees required to file the OGE-450 report. Locate the typical filing deadline for annual OGE-450 filers. Locate the filing deadline for new entrant OGE-450 filers. Find where the instructions for completing the OGE-450 are located. Identify who to contact for questions or to request an extension. Synthesize all collected information into a concise answer.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE-450)' page. The agent states that employees in certain positions are required to file the OGE-450 report because of the responsibilities associated with their positions. The agent states the typical filing deadline for annual OGE-450 filers as 'February 15th of the following year'. The agent states the filing deadline for new entrant OGE-450 filers as '30 days from the date your Ethics Office identified you as a filer'. The agent identifies that instructions for completing the OGE-450 can be found within the 'NIH Enterprise Ethics System (NEES)' and mentions that detailed instructions for related forms (e.g., HHS-717) are available as PDF documents. The agent states that the 'IC Ethics Office' or 'IC's Deputy Ethics Counselor, Ethics Coordinator, or Specialist' should be contacted for questions or extensions.
