                         Collection Act of 1982

 

Sec.  11.41  Suspension or revocation of eligibility.



    (a) Where a contractor, grantee, or other participant in programs 

sponsored by the Agency fails to pay his debts to the Agency within a 

reasonable time after demand, the fact shall be reported by the ACO to 

the Inspector General and to the Office of Acquisition Management, which 

shall place such defaulting participant's name on the Agency's list of 

debarred, suspended and ineligible contractors and grantees. The 

participant will be so advised. Suspension or revocation of eligibility 

may be waived in whole or in part in the case of grants for disaster 

programs administered by FEMA, if the Director FEMA, so directs.

    (b) The failure of any surety to honor its obligations in accordance 

with 6 U.S.C. 11 is to be reported at once to the ACO, who shall so 

advise the Treasury Department. That Department will notify this Agency 

when a surety's certificate of authority to do business with the 

Government has been revoked or forfeited.

    (c) Failure by a recipient of FEMA financial or nonfinancial 

assistance to pay a substantial debt or a number of outstanding debts 

being collected under this subpart may be ground for Government-wide 

debarment and suspension as described in 44 CFR 17.305(c)(3).
