ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This proposed revision to the nonprocurement common rule is 
issued in response to Executive Order 12689 and section 2455 of the 
Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994. E.O. 12689 requires 
agencies to establish regulations for reciprocal governmentwide effect 
across procurement and nonprocurement for each agency's debarment and 
suspension actions, after technical differences between the procurement 
and nonprocurement regulations governing debarments and suspensions are 
resolved. Section 2455 provides that the debarment, suspension, or 
other exclusion of a participant in a procurement activity under the 
Federal Acquisition Regulation, or in a nonprocurement activity under 
regulations issued pursuant to Executive Order 12549, shall be given 
reciprocal governmentwide effect.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 21, 1995 in 
order to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to submit comments on this notice of 
proposed rulemaking should send them to Robert Meunier, Director, 
Suspension and Debarment Division, Office of Grants and Debarment, Mail 
Code 3902F, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 ``M'' Street S.W., 
Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: See preambles of the individual 
agencies below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of the Federal Government's 
initiatives to curb fraud, waste, and abuse, on February 18, 1986, 
President Reagan signed Executive Order (E.O.) 12549, ``Debarment and 
Suspension.'' E.O. 12549 established governmentwide effect for an 
agency's nonprocurement debarment and suspension actions.
    Section 6 of E.O. 12549 directed the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) to issue guidelines governing implementation of the Order, 
and section 3 of the Order directed the departments and agencies to 
promulgate final rules, consistent with these guidelines. On May 26, 
1988, 27 agencies issued a final common rule (53 FR 19161-19211), 
consistent with OMB guidelines. On January 30, 1989, six more agencies 
co-signed the final common rule (54 FR 4722-4735). On November 27, 1992 
and May 17, 1993, two more agencies co-signed the final common rule (57 
FR 56262 and 58 FR 28759). On April 4, 1994, the functions of ACTION 
were transferred to the Corporation for National and Community Service. 
Each agency's codification of the common rule appears in its volume of 
the Code of Federal Regulations. The Federal Home Loan Bank Board, 
which participated in the initial rulemaking, no longer exists. On June 
30, 1992, the Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States 
Constitution closed and thus will not participate in this proposed 
rulemaking. Section 4 of E.O. 12549 established the Interagency 
Committee on Debarment and Suspension (the Interagency Committee).
    On August 16, 1989, President Bush signed E.O. 12689, ``Debarment 
and Suspension.'' E.O. 12689 requires agencies to establish regulations 
providing for reciprocal governmentwide effect across procurement and 
nonprocurement for each agency's debarment and suspension actions, 
after technical differences between the procurement and nonprocurement 
regulations governing debarments and suspensions are resolved.
    President Clinton signed Public Law 103-355, the Federal 
Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 on October 13, 1994. Section 2455 
of that Act provides that the debarment, suspension, or other exclusion 
of a participant in a procurement activity under the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation, or in a nonprocurement activity under 
regulations issued pursuant to E.O. 12549, shall be given reciprocal 
governmentwide effect. Thus, these proposed regulations would implement 
both E.O. 12689 and section 2455 of Pub. L. 103-355.
    The Interagency Committee established three subcommittees that 
identified issues and made recommendations for consideration by the 
full Interagency Committee. The matters addressed by the three 
subcommittees were technical differences between the procurement and 
nonprocurement rules, automation issues, and nonprocurement scope. In 
1989, the Interagency Committee presented recommendations to the 
agencies participating in this rulemaking action. The agencies 
considered these proposed changes and concluded that the initial 
recommendations addressed more issues than necessary to implement the 
Executive Order. As a result, representatives of the participating 
agencies reconsidered their initial recommendations and determined that 
very few technical differences needed to be resolved to obtain 
reciprocity between the procurement and nonprocurement rules. The 
determinations of the agency representatives are incorporated in this 
notice of proposed rulemaking.
    Section 3 of E.O. 12689 directed the agencies to simultaneously 
publish proposed rules within six months after resolution of 
differences between the procurement and nonprocurement rules and to 
publish final regulations within 12 months after publication of the 
proposed rules. The Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions governing 
debarments and suspensions are also being published for comment today.
    In order to focus commenters' attention on the changes that are 
proposed for the nonprocurement debarment and suspension rule, the 
agencies participating in this proposed rulemaking--all but the 
Department of Transportation which did not complete clearance of this 
proposed rule--have decided to publish the text of only those portions 
of the common rule that are affected by changes proposed by the 
Interagency Committee, rather than publishing the complete text of the 
common rule. Comments are sought on only those portions of the common 
rule that are proposed for amendment in this document.
    In addition to the amendments discussed below, the agencies propose 
to make minor technical changes to correct spelling errors and other 
nonsubstantive errors in the printing of the common rule.

Section-by-Section Analysis

Subpart A.

    Section ________.100, Purpose.
    The agencies participating in this rulemaking action propose to 
amend Sec. ________.100, Purpose, to reflect the E.O. 12689 requirement 
that both procurement and nonprocurement debarment and suspension 
actions have governmentwide effect across procurement and 
nonprocurement programs and activities.
    Section ________.105, Definitions.
     Under Sec. ________.105 as proposed for amendment, the definition 
of the nonprocurement list would be replaced by a new definition for a 
``List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Nonprocurement 
Programs.'' The List will integrate all procurement and nonprocurement 
debarments, suspensions, and other exclusionary actions.
    The definitions section also contains proposed technical amendments 
to implement E.O. 12689 and to correct printing errors in the initial 
publication of the common rule.
    Section ________.110, Coverage.
    Section ________.110(c) would be amended to provide for reciprocity 
between nonprocurement and procurement debarment and suspension 
actions. Under the reciprocity rule, every Executive Branch agency 
would have to give effect not only to exclusionary actions of other 
Federal agencies under the common rule but also to debarments, 
suspensions, proposed debarments or other governmentwide exclusions 
imposed under the Federal Acquisition Regulation after the effective 
date of the common rule reciprocity amendments. Thus, for example, once 
an agency has proposed for debarment an entity under the FAR, no other 
executive agency could enter into a covered transaction with that 
entity nor could a primary tier recipient enter into a lower tier 
covered transaction with that entity.
    Section ________.225, Failure to adhere to restrictions.
    Section ________.225 would be amended to make clear that the 
prohibition against knowingly doing business under a covered 
transaction with a person who is debarred or suspended also prohibits 
doing business with a person proposed for debarment under the FAR.
Appendix A.
    The agencies propose to amend paragraph (1)(a) of the Certification 
Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters--
Primary Covered Transactions to ensure that it covers actions taken 
under the Federal Acquisition Regulation to debar, suspend, propose for 
debarment, or otherwise take a governmentwide exclusionary action.

Impact analyses

Executive Order 12866

    This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. These 
proposed amendments would unify two separate debarment and suspension 
systems--nonprocurement and procurement--that previously existed.

Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605(b)) requires 
that, for each rule with a ``significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities,'' an analysis must be prepared 
describing the rule's impact on small entities, identifying any 
significant alternatives to the rule that would minimize the economic 
impact on the small entities.
    The participating agencies certify that these proposed regulations 
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The participating agencies certify that this proposed rule would 
not impose any reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

Text of the Common rule

    The text of the common rule as proposed for amendment in this 
document appears below:

PART ________--GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION 
(NONPROCUREMENT) AND GOVERNMENTWIDE REQUIREMENTS FOR DRUG-FREE 
WORKPLACE (GRANTS)

    1. Section ________.100 is amended by redesignating paragraph (c)

Sec. ________.100  Purpose.

* * * * *

1989 Comp., p.235) and 31 U.S.C. 6101 note (Public Law 103-355, sec. 
2455, 108 Stat. 3327) by--
    (1) Providing for the inclusion in the List of Parties Excluded 
from Federal Procurement and Nonprocurement Programs all persons 
proposed for debarment, debarred or suspended under the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation, 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4; persons against 
which governmentwide exclusions have been entered under this Part; and 
persons determined to be ineligible; and
    (2) Setting forth the consequences of a debarment, suspension, 
determination of ineligibility, or voluntary exclusion.
* * * * *
    2. Section ________.105 is amended by adding introductory text, 
removing paragraph designations for the definitions and placing them in 
alphabetical order, removing the definition for ``Nonprocurement 
List'', adding, in alphabetical order, a definition for ``List of 
Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Nonprocurement 
Programs'', in the definition for ``Affiliate'', after the phrase 
``affiliates of each'', removing the word ``another'' and adding, in 
its place, ``other'', in the definition for ``Conviction'', removing 
the phrase ``A judgment of conviction'' and adding, in its place 
``Judgment or conviction'', in the definition for ``Legal 
proceedings'', removing ``or a State of local'' and adding, in its 
place, ``or a State or local'' to read as follows:


Sec. ________. 105  Definitions.

    The following definitions apply to this part:
* * * * *
    List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and 
Nonprocurement Programs. A list compiled, maintained and distributed by 
the General Services Administration (GSA) containing the names and 
other information about persons who have been debarred, suspended, or

regulations or 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, persons who have been 
proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, and those 
persons who have been determined to be ineligible.
* * * * *
    3. Section ________.110 is amended by revising paragraph (c) to 
read as follows.


Sec. ________.110  Coverage.

* * * * *
    (c) Relationship to Federal procurement activities. In accordance 
with E.O. 12689 and section 2455 of Public Law 103-355, any debarment, 
suspension, proposed debarment or other governmentwide exclusion 
imposed under the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) after [the 
effective date of the final rule] shall be recognized by and effective 
for Executive Branch agencies and participants as an exclusion under 
this regulation. Similarly, any debarment, suspension or other 
governmentwide exclusion imposed under this regulation shall be 
recognized by and effective for those agencies as a debarment or 
suspension under the FAR.


Sec. ________.200  [Amended]

    4. Section ________.200 is amended by revising the heading for 
paragraph (b) to read ``Lower tier covered transactions.''.
    5. Section ________.225 is revised to read as follows.


Sec. ________.225  Failure to adhere to restrictions.

    (a) Except as permitted under Sec. ________.215 or

knowingly do business under a covered transaction with a person who 
is--
    (1) Debarred or suspended;
    (2) Proposed for debarment under the FAR; or
    (3) Ineligible for or voluntarily excluded from the covered 
transaction.
    (b) Violation of the restriction under paragraph (a) of this 
section may result in disallowance of costs, annulment or termination 
of award, issuance of a stop work order, debarment or suspension, or 
other remedies as appropriate.
    (c) A participant may rely upon the certification of a prospective 
participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it and its 
principals are not debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment under 
the FAR, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered 
transaction (See Appendix B of these regulations), unless it knows that 
the certification is erroneous. An agency has the burden of proof that 
a participant did knowingly do business with a person that filed an 
erroneous certification.

Appendix A to Part ________ [Amended]

     6. Appendix A to Part ______ is amended in paragraph (1)(a) of the 
Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility 
Matters--Primary Covered Transactions by removing ``from covered 
transactions''.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Office of the Secretary

24 CFR Part 24

[Docket No. R-94-1563; FR-3065-P-01]
RIN 2501-AB24
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emmett N. Roden, Assistant General 
Counsel for Administrative Proceedings, Office of General Counsel, U.S. 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, S.W., Room 
10251, Washington, D.C. 20410, telephone (202) 708-2350. The telephone 
number for the hearing impaired (TDD) is (202) 708-9300. These are not 
toll-free numbers.

ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Executive 
Order 12549, the Department, along with other Federal agencies, 
promulgated governmentwide non-procurement debarment and suspension 
regulations. The common rule, which is identical to the Office of 
Management and Budget's final guidelines, and the various agency-
specific supplements to the common rule were published at the same time 
on May 26, 1988 (53 FR 19161). The provisions of the common rule that 
provide nonprocurement participants with the opportunity to contest 
suspensions and proposed debarments and the procedures by which 
suspending and debarring officials make final agency determinations are 
substantially similar to the procedures applicable to procurement 
contractors under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR, 48 CFR, 
especially subpart 9.4 thereof). Although the Department adopted 
verbatim significant portions of the common rule, it did not include 
the provisions concerning suspension and debarment hearing procedures 
or the reconsideration or appeal of post-hearing determinations.
    In 1989, Executive Order 12689 required that the debarment, 
suspension, or other exclusion of a participant in a procurement 
activity under the FAR, or in a nonprocurement activity under an 
agency's debarment regulations, shall have the governmentwide effect of 
excluding the participant from both procurement and nonprocurement 
activities. Under current HUD rules, a debarment of a nonprocurement 
participant does not affect such person's participation in procurement 
activities with other agencies.
    In addition, the proposed revisions would conform the Department's 
hearing procedures to those of the common rule. The Department's 
departure from the generally applicable governmentwide provisions has 
adversely affected the Department's ability to process suspensions and 
debarments in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The amount of 
time and expense currently involved in the Department's suspension and 
debarment proceedings benefit neither the Department nor the persons 
who are subject to such sanctions. The Department considers these 
changes necessary to comply with the President's directive to 
streamline agency operations throughout the Executive Branch. The 
proposed revisions are also an element in the Government reinvention 
process at the Department.
    Written comments from the public will be considered prior to 
issuance of a final rule. No hearing will be conducted with respect to 
this proposed rule.

opposition to the proposed debarment.
    (1) The information and argument should be addressed to the

    (3) If the respondent desires a hearing, it shall submit a written

with a representative, submit documentary evidence, present witnesses, 
and confront any witness the agency presents.

the basis of all the information in the administrative record,

Administrative Law Judge or Member of the Board of Contract Appeals, 
the provisions of part 26 of this chapter shall be generally applicable 
to the proceeding, with the exception that no appeal to the Secretary

Part, the notice of the debarring official's decision shall advise that 
the debarment is effective for programs or activities of the 
Department.
    (B) [Reserved].
    (2) If the debarring official decides not to impose debarment, the

the respondent on notice without disclosing the Federal Government's

suspension;
    (e) That the suspension is for a temporary period pending the

    (i) The action is based on an indictment, conviction or civil 
judgment, or
    (ii) A determination is made, on the basis of Department of Justice 
advice, that the substantial interests of the Federal Government in 
pending or contemplated legal proceedings based on the same facts as 
the suspension would be prejudiced.
    (2) A transcribed record of any additional proceedings shall be

Sec. 24.413  Suspending official's decision.

    The suspending official may modify or terminate the suspension (see 
Sec. 24.320(c)) for reasons for reducing the period or scope of 
debarment) or may leave it in force. However, a decision to modify or 
terminate the suspension shall be without prejudice to the subsequent 
imposition of suspension by any other agency or debarment by any 
agency. The decision shall be rendered in accordance with the following 
provisions:
    (a) No additional proceedings necessary. In actions based upon an 
indictment, conviction, or civil judgment, in which there is no genuine 
dispute over material facts, or in which additional proceedings to 
determine disputed material facts have been denied on the basis of 
Department of Justice advice, the suspending official shall make a 
decision on the basis of all the information in the administrative 
record, including any submission made by the respondent. The decision 
shall be made within 45 days after receipt of any information and 
argument submitted by the respondent, unless the suspending official 
extends this period for good cause.
    (b) Additional proceedings necessary.
(1) In actions in which additional proceedings are necessary to 
determine disputed material facts, written findings of fact shall be 
prepared. The suspending official shall base the decision on the facts 
as found, together with any information and argument submitted by the 
respondent and any other information in the administrative record.
    (2) The suspending official may refer matters involving disputed 
material facts to another official for findings of fact. The suspending 
official may reject any such findings, in whole or in part, only after 
specifically determining them to be arbitrary or capricious or clearly 
erroneous.
    (3) If the suspending official refers disputed material facts to an 
Administrative Law Judge or Member of the Board of Contract Appeals, 
the provisions of part 26 of this chapter shall be generally applicable 
to the proceeding, with the exception that no appeal to the Secretary 
may be taken under Secs. 26.24-26.26 of this chapter with respect to 
any order or decision by such Judge or Member.
    (4) Such additional proceedings shall in all events be concluded 
within 45 days after the suspending official has issued the notice of 
disputed factual issues in accordance with Sec. 24.412(b)(1) of this 
part. Findings of fact shall be issued by the suspending official, or 
by any official to whom the factual issues have been referred, within 
30 days after conclusion of such additional proceedings. The time 
limitations of this subparagraph may be extended only upon issuance, by 
the suspending official or other official to whom factual issues have 
been referred, of a written notice describing good cause for such 
extension.

after the issuance of findings of fact with respect to the disputed 
material facts.

    19. Section 24.711 is revised to read as follows:


Sec. 24.711  Notice of limited denial of participation.

    A limited denial of participation shall be made effective by 
advising the participant or contractor, and any specifically named 
affiliate, by mail, return receipt requested:
    (a) That the limited denial of participation is being imposed;
    (b) Of the cause(s) under Sec. 24.705 for the sanction;
    (c) Of the potential effect of the sanction, including the length 
of the sanction and the HUD program(s) and geographic area affected by 
the sanction;
    (d) Of the right to request, in writing, within 30 days of receipt 
of the notice, a conference under Sec. 24.712;
    (e) That the failure to request a conference shall cause the 
limited denial of participation to become final, without any further 
proceeding pursuant to Sec. 24.713 of this part.
    20. Section 24.712 would be revised to read as follows:


Sec. 24.712  Conference.

    Within 30 days after receiving a notice of limited denial of 
participation, the respondent may request a conference with the 
official who issued such notice. If the respondent does not request a 
conference within such 30-day period, the notice of limited denial of 
participation shall become final. The conference shall precede any 
submission in opposition under Sec. 24.713 of this part. It shall be 
held within 15 days after the Department's receipt of the request for a 
conference, unless the respondent waives this time limit. The official 
who imposed the sanction, or his or her designee, shall preside. At the 
conference, the respondent may appear with a representative and may 
present all relevant information and materials to the official or 
designee. Within 20 days after the conference, the official shall, in 
writing, advise the respondent of the decision to terminate, modify, or 
affirm the limited denial of participation. If the official's decision 
is to affirm all or a portion of the remaining period of exclusion, the 
notice of affirmation shall advise the respondent of the opportunity to 
contest the notice pursuant to Sec. 24.713.
    21. Section 24.713 would be revised to read as follows:


Sec. 24.713  Opportunity to contest affirmation of the limited denial 
of participation.

    (a) Submission in opposition. Within 30 days after receipt of a 
notice of affirmation of all or a portion of the remaining period of 
exclusion under a limited denial of participation, the respondent may 
submit, personally or through a representative, written information and 
argument in opposition to the notice of affirmation. The information 
and argument should be addressed to the Debarment Docket Clerk, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, S.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20410. If the respondent does not contest the notice 
of affirmation within the 30-day period, the notice shall become final.
    (b) Procedures. The procedures of 24.313 and 24.314 shall govern 
respondent's contest of the notice of affirmation.
    (c) Effect of suspension or debarment on limited denial of 
participation. If a respondent has contested a notice of affirmation 
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section, and if the respondent has 
also received, pursuant to subpart C or D of this part, a notice of 
proposed debarment or suspension that is based on the same 
transaction(s) or conduct as the limited denial of participation, the 
following rules shall apply:
    (1) If the respondent has not contested the proposed debarment 
pursuant to Sec. 24.313(a) or the suspension pursuant to 
Sec. 24.412(a), the final imposition of the debarment or suspension 
shall also constitute a final decision with respect to the limited 
denial of participation to the extent that the debarment or suspension 
is based on the same transaction(s) or conduct as the limited denial of 
participation.
    (2) If the respondent has contested the proposed debarment pursuant 
to Sec. 24.313(a) of this part or the suspension pursuant to 
Sec. 24.412(a), the hearing official shall consolidate the hearings on 
the limited denial of participation and on the proposed debarment or 
suspension.
    (3) To the extent that the limited denial of participation is based 
on additional transaction(s) or conduct that are not described in the 
notice of proposed debarment or suspension, the hearing official shall, 
in his or her discretion, either withdraw the limited denial of 
participation to the extent of such additional bases, or issue a 
decision on them.
    22. A new section 24.714 would be added to read as follows:


Sec. 24.714  Reporting of limited denial of participation.

    If the period for requesting a conference pursuant to Sec. 24.712 
of this part has expired without receipt of such a request, or if a 
conference has been held and a notice of affirmation of all or part of 
the remaining period of exclusion has been issued pursuant to 
Sec. 24.712, the official imposing the limited denial of participation 
shall notify the Director of the Participation and Compliance Division 
in the Office of Housing of the scope of the limited denial of 
participation.

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In addition to the amendments 
proposed by all participating agencies for the common rule, the 
Secretary proposes to amend the Department's debarment and suspension 
procedures to reflect certain changes made by 1992 amendments to those 
provisions of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended 
(title IV, HEA), that govern administrative proceedings to limit or 
terminate the eligibility of participants in programs under that title. 
The Secretary also proposes to amend subpart G of part 668, which 
contains the Department's procedures for fine, limitation, suspension, 
and termination proceedings, to make technical amendments to reflect 
the 1992 amendments to the HEA, to amend Subpart G of Part 682 in order 
to apply the same procedures to debarments or suspensions of lenders or 
loan servicers under the Federal Family Education Loan Programs 
(FFELP), and to limit a hearing officer's discretion in termination and 
suspension actions under both subparts when the termination or 
suspension is based on an action under Executive Order 12549 (3 CFR, 
1986 Comp., p. 189) or the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 48 CFR 
part 9, subpart 9.4.
    In 1988, when the governmentwide nonprocurement debarment and 
suspension regulations were first published, the Department established 
procedures to ensure that debarment actions would trigger actions by 
the Department under part 668 to consider termination of institutions 
participating in Title IV, HEA. Those special rules were needed because 
section 487(c) of the HEA, 20 U.S.C. 1094(c), provided that actions to 
limit, suspend or terminate the eligibility of a school in the Title 
IV, HEA programs be conducted with an opportunity for a hearing ``on 
the record'' under 5 U.S.C. 554-557 while debarment and suspension 
actions did not have to comply with these ``on-the-record'' hearing 
requirements.
    In 1992 Congress amended the HEA to eliminate the need for these 
procedures to include an opportunity for a hearing ``on-the-record.'' 
However, Title IV, HEA suspension or termination procedures include 
notice and procedural requirements that are different than those 
required under the debarment and suspension common rule. Therefore, the 
Secretary proposes to give direct effect with respect to eligibility to 
participate in a Title IV, HEA program only to those debarment and 
suspension actions that have been imposed under procedures that provide 
equivalent due process protections to those afforded under the 
procedural standards in Subparts G of Parts 668 and 682. The Secretary 
recognizes that the procedures applied by the Department or by another 
agency may differ in some particulars from Subpart G procedures, but 
provide the same level of procedural due process, and where the 
Secretary so determines, that debarment or suspension will apply with 
respect to participation in Title IV, HEA programs without further 
administrative appeal. Also, the Secretary proposes to amend those 
Subparts to provide that a hearing officer must terminate or limit an 
entity if the designated Department official proves that the entity has 
been debarred. The addition of this as a mandatory ground for 
termination reflects the Secretary's recognition of the compelling 
government interest underlying debarment and suspension decisions in 
ensuring protection of public funds and deterring their misuse; the 
adoption of a binding rule that debarment or suspension warrants 
termination or suspension is consistent with similar determinations 
compelled under the regulations in cases in which there has been a 
failure to submit timely required audits, or loss of required 
accreditation or State licensure.
    Regarding suspensions, the Secretary has concluded that there are 
significant legal differences between suspensions under part 85 and 
emergency actions under parts 668 and 682.
    Therefore, suspensions under part 85 or the common regulations of 
other agencies will not be given effect as emergency actions under 
those parts. However, the Secretary proposes to amend part 85 to 
provide that, whenever an institution, lender, or third-party servicer 
is suspended under the common rule, the Secretary will determine 
whether an emergency action should be initiated against that entity.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Office of the Secretary

43 CFR Part 12

RIN 1090-AA49
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean A. Titcomb, (Chief, Acquisition 
and Assistance Division), (202) 208-6431.

ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department published an 
agency-specific preamble as part of the final nonprocurement debarment 
and suspension common rule on May 26, 1988 (53 FR 19159), which 
indicated that, due to the expanded scope of transactions covered under 
the rule, coverage of its nonprocurement debarment and suspension 
system was limited to transactions included in section 12.110(a)(1) of 
its proposed rule (52 FR 39042).
    The Department also indicated that a review of the Department's 
other nonprocurement program activities would be made to determine 
whether such activities would be included in the coverage. The review 
was made; however, plans to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to 
obtain public comment on covered transactions on or before October 1, 
1988, were dropped.
    Issues of concern to the Department were addressed through the 
subcommittee of the Interagency Committee on Debarment and Suspension 
which reviewed the scope of the nonprocurement debarment system. 
Although the revision of the common rule being proposed does not 
address the issue of scope, the Department is proposing to include the 
results of the resolution of this issue as part of the publication of 
this proposed revision as discussed below.
    New exceptions for certain types of transactions under natural 
resource management programs are being proposed. These exceptions would 
make clear that permits, licenses, exchanges and other acquisitions of 
real property, rights-of-way, and easements, under natural resource 
management programs would be excluded from coverage.
    For example, when the Federal Government seeks to acquire real 
property, including through use of an exchange of real property 
elsewhere, the transaction will not be subject to these regulations. In 
such cases, where the success of the agency program depends on a 
specific parcel of land, the application of the debarment and 
suspension system could harm the public interest. Moreover, public land 
management activities require the use of certain transactions for land 
and resource management without regard to the identity of the 
recipient. Accordingly, range management transactions, such as grazing 
permits and rights-of-way, are excluded by the proposed exception 
language. Similarly, virtually all recreation management and public 
land access transactions are not covered.
    In addition, the Department is proposing to amend section 
12.110(a)(3) of its final rule to include nonprocurement debarment 
system coverage for Federal acquisition of a leasehold interest or any 
other interest in real property, concession contracts, and disposition 
of Federal real and personal property and natural resources.
    The scope of the Department's nonprocurement debarment system will 
include transactions associated with natural resources management 
programs and the disposition of natural resources with the following 
exceptions: permits, licenses, exchanges and other acquisitions of real 
property, rights-of-way, easements, mineral patent claims administered 
by the Bureau of Land Management and water service contracts and 
repayment contracts awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation. Patents 
issued under the Mining Law of 1872, 30 U.S.C. 22 et seq., as amended 
are statutory entitlements and, therefore, are exempt under the terms 
of Executive Order 12549. The award of water service contracts and 
repayment contracts is mandatory, provided by the Reclamation Project 
Act of 1939, as amended, set forth at 43 U.S.C. 485.
    Therefore, the Department proposes to exclude all transactions 
concerning permits, licenses, exchanges and other acquisitions of real 
property, rights-of-way, easements, mineral patent claims, water 
service contracts, and repayment contracts from its nonprocurement 
debarment and suspension system.
    A corresponding change is also being proposed in Section 12.200(c) 
to add a reference to these excluded transactions.
