General.

(1) Communications made solely to furnish scientific or technological information are exempt from these prohibitions.

Federal Register.

The certification shall state that the former Government employee has outstanding qualifications in a scientific, technological or other technical discipline; is acting with respect to a particular matter which requires such qualifications; and the national interest would be served by his participation.

(b)
