3110. [bull] NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION IMPLEMENTATION OF OMB GUIDANCE 
ON NONPROCUREMENT DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION

Priority: Info./Admin./Other

Legal Authority: EO 12866

CFR Citation: 2 CFR ch XXV; 45 CFR 620 and 689

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The National Science Foundation (NSF) issued a new part 2520 
on nonprocurement debarment and suspension in title 2 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR). This new part is NSF's implementation of the 
Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) guidance provided at 2 CFR part 
180. In light of the new part 2520, NSF removes 45 CFR part 620, the 
part containing its implementation of the Governmentwide common rule on 
nonprocurement debarment and suspension. The new part in 2 CFR serves 
the same purpose as the common rule but in a simpler way. NSF also is 
amending a provision in its research misconduct rule (45 CFR part 689) 
to update the reference to NSF's nonprocurement debarment and 
suspension regulations. This final rule is part of OMB's initiative to 
streamline and consolidate all Federal regulations on nonprocurement 
debarment and suspension. It is an administrative simplification that 
makes no substantive change in NSF policy or procedures for 
nonprocurement debarment and suspension.
