Example of when the restrictions don't apply:
A toxicologist is appointed to serve as an SGE on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advisory committee to review research conducted by grantees on water quality. The EPA is also seeking grant applications for air quality research. The SGE has never been involved in air quality issues for the Agency.
The SGE may apply, on behalf of his private employer, for an EPA air quality research grant because it is a different particular matter than any work he has done for the Government (as long as he doesn't serve as an SGE for more than 60 days).
Example of when the restrictions do apply:
An SGE employed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development previously reviewed a specific city's application for Federal assistance for a renewal project. The SGE may not represent this city with regard to matters concerning this application.
