transaction with another person at the next lower tier?

    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.
