appendix A to this part for it and its principals at the time the 
participant submits its proposal in connection with a primary covered 
transaction, except that States need only complete such certification as 
to their principals. Participants may decide the method and frequency by 
which they determine the eligibility of their principals. In addition, 
each participant may, but is not required to, check the Nonprocurement 
List for its principals (Tel. ). Adverse information on the 
certification will not necessarily result in denial of participation. 
However, the certification, and any additional information pertaining to 
the certification submitted by the participant, shall be considered in 
the administration of covered transactions.
    (b) Certification by participants in lower tier covered 
transactions. (1) Each participant shall require participants in lower 
tier covered transactions to include the certification in appendix B to 
this part for it and its principals in any proposal submitted in 
connection with such lower tier covered transactions.
    (2) A participant may rely upon the certification of a prospective 
participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it and its 
principals are not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily 
excluded from the covered transaction by any Federal agency, unless it 
knows that the certification is erroneous. Participants may decide the 
method and frequency by which they determine the eligiblity of their 
principals. In addition, a participant may, but is not required to, 
check the Nonprocurement List for its principals and for participants 
(Tel. ).
    (c) Changed circumstances regarding certification. A participant 
shall provide immediate written notice to Military Departments and 
Defense Agencies if at any time the participant learns that its 
certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by 
reason of changed circumstances. Participants in lower tier covered 
transactions shall provide the same updated notice to the participant to 
which it submitted its proposals.
