              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
             CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
 
PART 11--CLAIMS--Table of Contents
 
    Subpart C--Collection of Debts by the Government Under the Debt 
                         Collection Act of 1982
 
Sec. 11.41  Suspension or revocation of eligibility.

    (a) Where a contractor, grantee, or other participant in programs 
sponsored by the Agency fails to pay his debts to the Agency within a 
reasonable time after demand, the fact shall be reported by the ACO to 
the Inspector General and to the Office of Acquisition Management, which 
shall place such defaulting participant's name on the Agency's list of 
debarred, suspended and ineligible contractors and grantees. The 
participant will be so advised. Suspension or revocation of eligibility 
may be waived in whole or in part in the case of grants for disaster 
programs administered by FEMA, if the Director FEMA, so directs.
    (b) The failure of any surety to honor its obligations in accordance 
with 6 U.S.C. 11 is to be reported at once to the ACO, who shall so 
advise the Treasury Department. That Department will notify this Agency 
when a surety's certificate of authority to do business with the 
Government has been revoked or forfeited.
    (c) Failure by a recipient of FEMA financial or nonfinancial 
assistance to pay a substantial debt or a number of outstanding debts 
being collected under this subpart may be ground for Government-wide 
debarment and suspension as described in 44 CFR 17.305(c)(3).
