COMDTINST 5370.9B
(4) The Reviewing Official for Source Selection Officials, members of Source Evaluation Boards and
public members of Federal Advisory Committees shall be the Reviewing Official having
cognizance over the activities of the committee, board, or major systems acquisition to which they
are assigned (unless another procedure is established in writing, and approved by Commandant (G-
L)).
d. Submission Requirements. Reviewing Officials, or other delegees, shall identify members of their
offices and commands who are required to file CFDRs, per paragraph 8.a. above, and shall ensure that
New Entrant and Annual CFDRs are filed within the time constraints set forth below:
(1) New Entrant CFDRs. New Entrant CFDRs must be submitted to the Reviewing Official, or
delegee, within 30 days of assuming a CFDR filing position.
(a) Reviewing Officials may require that prospective Source Selection Officials, members of
Source Evaluation Boards, or prospective public members of Advisory Committees file their
CFDR prior to serving in such positions, to insure that there are no insurmountable ethics
concerns.
(b) Federal Advisory Committee public members who serve multi-year terms must file a New
Entrant CFDR during October of every service year.
(c) Filing Exception: If the filer moves from one CFDR position to another within 30 days,
he or she is not required to file a New Entrant CFDR. However, the filer is required to
submit a copy of his or her most recent annual CFDR to the Reviewing Official with any
changes noted on the CFDR.
(2) Acting New Entrant CFDRs. New Entrant CFDRs must be submitted to the Reviewing
Official by personnel who are "acting" in positions identified in paragraphs 8.a.(1) and
8.a.(2) for 60 or more days during the CFDR reporting period. These personnel must file
new Entrant CFDRs within 15 days of the 61st day in which they acted in CFDR positions.
Exception: If the filer already has a current CFDR on file, he or she is not required to
complete a New Entrant CFDR.
(3) Annual CFDRs. An Annual CFDR must be submitted to the Reviewing Official during the
period from 1 October to 31 October of each year by any CFDR filer holding a filing position
as of 30 September who performed the duties of his or her position for a period in excess of
60 days during the reporting period (the preceding twelve months ending 30 September).
e. Filing Extensions.
(1) For good cause shown, Reviewing Officials may grant an extension of up to 90 days from the
due date for New Entrant CFDRs and "acting" New Entrant CFDRs. However, extensions
for New Entrant CFDRs will normally not be granted, absent extraordinary circumstances,
since an extension defeats the purpose of performing an initial conflict of interest check.
(2) Reviewing Officials may also grant an extension of time of up to 90 days from the due date
for Annual CFDRs, for good cause shown. However, any extension beyond 15 December
