(a) Authority

    In furtherance of the purposes of this chapter, the Director of the 
Agency may accept and use bequests, gifts, or donations of services, 
money, or property, notwithstanding section 1342 of title 31.

(b) Criteria

    The Director of the Agency shall establish by regulation criteria 
for determining whether to accept bequests, gifts, or donations of 
services, money, or property. Such criteria shall take into 
consideration whether the acceptance of the bequest, gift, or donation 
would reflect unfavorably on the Director's ability to carry out his 
responsibilities in a fair and objective manner, or would compromise the 
integrity of, or the appearance of the integrity of, the Program or any 
official involved in administering the Program.
