            (K) in cases where, during the course of the Pilot, it is determined that the Pilot is not achieving the specified outcomes that
               it is designed to achieve,

      (d) Agency Head Determinations. A Federal agency may participate in a Performance Partnership Pilot (including by providing Federal discretionary funds
         that have been appropriated to such agency) only upon the written determination by the head of such agency that the agency's
         participation in such Pilotâ 
         (1) will not result in denying or restricting the eligibility of any individual for any of the services that (in whole or in part)
            are funded by the agency's programs and Federal discretionary funds that are involved in the Pilot, and 
         
         (2) based on the best available information, will not otherwise adversely affect vulnerable populations that are the recipients
            of such services.
         
      
      
         In making this determination, the head of the agency may take into consideration the other Federal discretionary funds that
            will be used in the Pilot as well as any non-Federal funds (including from private sources as well as governmental sources)
            that will be used in the Pilot.

         approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the head of each participating Federal agency may transfer
         Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot to an account of the lead Federal administering agency that includes
         Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot.  Subject to the waiver authority under subsection (g), such
         transferred funds shall remain available for the same purposes for which such funds were originally appropriated: Provided, That such transferred funds shall remain available for obligation by the Federal Government until the expiration of those
         Federal discretionary funds (which are being used in the Pilot) that have the longest period of availability, except that
         any such transferred funds shall not remain available beyond September 30, 2017.
      
      (f) Waiver Authority. In connection with a Federal agency's participation in a Performance Partnership Pilot, and subject to the other provisions
         of this section (including subsection (e)), the head of the Federal agency to which the Federal discretionary funds were appropriated
         may waive (in whole or in part) the application, solely to such discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot, of any
         statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirement that such agency headâ 
         (1) is otherwise authorized to waive (in accordance with the terms and conditions of such other authority), and 
         (2) is not otherwise authorized to waive, provided that in such case the agency head, prior to granting the waiver, shallâ 
            (A) issue a written determination with respect to such discretionary funds that the granting of such waiver for purposes of the
               Pilotâ 
               (i) is consistent with bothâ 
                  (I) the statutory purposes of the Federal program for which such discretionary funds were appropriated, and
                  (II) the other provisions of this section, including the written determination by the agency head issued under subsection (e);
                     
                  
               
               (ii) is necessary to achieve the outcomes of the Pilot as specified in the Partnership Performance Agreement, and is no broader
                  in scope than is necessary to achieve such outcomes; and 
               
               (iii) will result in eitherâ 
                  (I) realizing efficiencies by simplifying reporting burdens or reducing administrative barriers with respect to such discretionary
                     funds, or 
                  
                  (II) increasing the ability of individuals to obtain access to services that are provided by such discretionary funds; and
               
            
            (B) provide at least 60 days advance written notice to the Committees on Appropriations and other committees of jurisdiction in
               the House of Representatives and the Senate. ]

            Federal tax liability that has been assessed for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or have
            lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting
            the tax liability, where the awarding agency is aware of the unpaid tax liability, unless a federal agency has considered
            suspension or debarment of the corporation and made a determination that this further action is not necessary to protect the
            interests of the Government. SEC. 737.  None of the funds made available by this or any other Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of understanding,

            the conviction, unless a federal agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and made a determination
            that this further action is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.
