Sec. 970.300  General.


    The debarring official may debar a person for any of the causes in 
Sec. 970.305 using procedures established in Secs. 970.310 through 
970.314. The existence of a cause for debarment, however, does not 
necessarily require that the person be debarred; the seriousness of the 
person's acts or omissions and any mitigating factors shall be 
considered in making any debarment decision.
