Sec. 1493.30  Information required for program participation.

    Before CCC will accept an application for a payment guarantee under 
either the GSM-102 program or the GSM-103 program, the applicant must 
qualify for participation in these programs. Based upon the information 
submitted by the applicant and other publicly available sources, CCC 
will determine whether the applicant is eligible for participation in 
the programs.
    (a) Submission of documentation. In order to qualify for 
participation in the GSM-102 and GSM-103 programs, an applicant must 
submit to CCC, at the address specified in the Contacts P/R, the 
following information:
    (1) The address of the applicant's headquarters office and the name 
and address of an agent in the U.S. for the service of process;
    (2) The legal form of doing business of the applicant, e.g., sole 
proprietorship, partnership, corporation, etc.
    (3) The place of incorporation of the applicant, if the applicant is 
a corporation;
    (4) The name and U.S. address of the office(s) of the applicant, and 
statement indicating whether the applicant is a U.S. domestic 
corporation, a foreign corporation or another foreign entity. If the 
applicant has multiple offices, the address included in the information 
should be that which is pertinent to the particular GSM-102 or GSM-103 
export sale contemplated by the applicant;
    (5) A certified statement describing the applicant's participation, 
if any, during the past three years in U.S.

Government programs, contracts or agreements; and
    (6) A certification that: ``I certify, to the best of my knowledge 
and belief, that neither [name of applicant] nor any of its principals 
has been debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment from contracting 
with or participating in programs administered by any U.S. Government 
agency. [``Principals,'' for the purpose of this certification, means 
officers; directors; owners of five percent or more of stock; partners; 
and persons having primary management or supervisory responsibility 
within a business entity (e.g., general manager, plant manager, head of 
a subsidiary division, or business segment, and similar positions).] I 
further agree that, should any such debarment, suspension, or notice of 
proposed debarment occur in the future, [name of applicant] will 
immediately notify CCC.''
    (b) Previous qualification. Any exporter that has previously 
qualified under this section may submit applications for GSM-102 or GSM-
103 payment guarantees. Each application must include the statement 
required by Sec. 1493.40(a)(18) incorporating the certifications of 
Sec. 1493.50, including the certification in Sec. 1493.50(e) that the 
information previously provided pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 
section has not changed. If the exporter is unable to provide such 
certification, such exporter must update the information required by 
paragraph (a) of this section which has changed and certify that the 
remainder of the information previously provided has not changed.
    (c) Additional submissions. CCC will promptly notify applicants that 
have submitted information required by this section whether they have 
qualified to participate in the program. Any applicant failing to 
qualify will be given an opportunity to provide additional information 
for consideration by CCC.
    (d) Ineligibility for program participation. An applicant may be 
ineligible to participate in the GSM-102 or GSM-103 programs if:
    (1) Such applicant is currently debarred, suspended, or proposed for 
debarment from contracting with or participating in any program 
administered by a U.S. Government agency; or
    (2) Such applicant is controlled or can be controlled, in whole or 
in part, by any individuals or entities currently debarred, suspended or 
proposed for debarment from contracting with or participating in 
programs administered by any U.S. Government agency.
