Sec.  1410.60  Scheme or device.

    (a) If CCC determines that a person has employed a scheme or device 
to defeat the purposes of this part, or any part, of any program, 
payment otherwise due or paid such person during the applicable period 
may be required to be refunded with interest thereon as determined 
appropriate by CCC.
    (b) A scheme or device includes, but is not limited to, coercion, 
fraud, misrepresentation, depriving any other person of cost-share 
assistance or annual rental payments, or obtaining a payment that 
otherwise would not be payable.
    (c) A new owner or operator or tenant of land subject to this part 
who succeeds to the contract responsibilities shall report in writing to 
CCC any interest of any kind in the land subject to this part that is 
retained by a previous participant. Such interest shall include a 
present, future, or conditional interest, reversionary interest, or any 
option, future or present, on such land, and any interest of any lender 
in such land where the lender has, will, or can legally obtain, a right 
of occupancy to such land or an interest in the equity in such land 
other than an interest in the appreciation in the value of such land 
occurring after the loan was made. Failure to fully disclose such 
interest shall be considered a scheme or device under this section.
