PART 35--PROGRAM FRAUD CIVIL REMEDIES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 35.1  General.

    (a) Basis. This part implements the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act 
of 1986, Public Law 99-509, sections. 6101-6104, 100 Stat. 1874 (October 
21, 1986), codified at 31 U.S.C. 3801-3812. 31 U.S.C. 3809 of the 
statute requires each authority head to promulgate regulations necessary 
to implement the provisions of the statute.
    (b) Purpose. This part establishes administrative procedures for 
imposing civil penalties and assessments against persons who make, 
submit, or present, or cause to be made, submitted, or presented, false 
fictitious, or fraudulent claims or written statements to authorities or 
to their agents; and specifies the hearing and appeal rights of persons 
subject to allegations of liability for such penalties and assessments.
    (c) Special considerations abroad. Where a party, witness or 
material evidence in a proceeding under these regulations is located 
abroad, the investigating official, reviewing official or ALJ, as the 
case may be, may adjust the provisions below for service, filing of 
documents, time limitations, and related matters to meet special 
problems arising out of that location.
