    Subpart C_Responsibilities of Participants Regarding Transactions

 

Sec.  24.300  What must I do before I enter into a covered transaction 

with another person at the next lower tier?



                    Doing Business With Other Persons





    When you enter into a covered transaction with another person at the 

next lower tier, you must verify that the person with whom you intend to 

do business is not excluded or disqualified. You do this by:

    (a) Checking the EPLS; or

    (b) Collecting a certification from that person if allowed by this 

rule; or

    (c) Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with 

that person.

    (d) You, as a participant, are responsible for determining whether 

you are entering into a covered transaction with an excluded or 

disqualified person. You may decide the method by which you do so. You 

may, but are not required to, check the EPLS.

    (e) In the case of an employment contract, HUD does not require 

employers to check the EPLS prior to making salary payments pursuant to 

that contract.
