The post-employment restrictions set forth in section 10(k) of the FDI
Act and section 264a.3 do not apply to any officer or employee of the Federal
Reserve, or any former officer or employee of the Federal Reserve,
if—
(a) the individual ceased to be an officer or employee of the Federal
Reserve before December 17, 2005; or
(b) the chairman of the Board of Governors certifies, in writing and on a
case-by-case basis, that granting the individual a waiver of the restrictions
would not affect the integrity of the Federal Reserve’s supervisory
program.
