[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 24, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2007] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 24CFR24.215] [Page 255-256] TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT PART 24_GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)-- Subpart B_Covered Transactions Sec. 24.215 Which nonprocurement transactions are not covered transactions? The following types of nonprocurement transactions are not covered transactions: (a) A direct award to-- (1) A foreign government or foreign governmental entity; (2) A public international organization; (3) An entity owned (in whole or in part) or controlled by a foreign government; or (4) Any other entity consisting wholly or partially of one or more foreign governments or foreign governmental entities. (b) A benefit to an individual as a personal entitlement without regard to the individual's present responsibility (but benefits received in an individual's business capacity are not excepted). For example, if a person receives social security benefits under the Supplemental Security Income provisions of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1301 et seq., those benefits are not covered [[Page 256]] transactions and, therefore, are not affected if the person is excluded. (c) Federal employment. (d) A transaction that the Department of Housing and Urban Development needs to respond to a national or agency-recognized emergency or disaster. (e) A permit, license, certificate, or similar instrument issued as a means to regulate public health, safety, or the environment, unless the Department of Housing and Urban Development specifically designates it to be a covered transaction. (f) An incidental benefit that results from ordinary governmental operations. (g) Any other transaction if the application of an exclusion to the transaction is prohibited by law.
