                     Subpart B_Covered Transactions
 
Sec.  1265.205  Why is it important if a particular transaction is a covered 

transaction?

    The importance of a covered transaction depends upon who you are.
    (a) As a participant in the transaction, you have the 
responsibilities laid out in Subpart C of this part. Those include 
responsibilities to the person or Federal agency at the next higher tier 
from whom you received the transaction, if any. They also include 
responsibilities if you subsequently enter into other covered 
transactions with persons at the next lower tier.
    (b) As a Federal official who enters into a primary tier 
transaction, you have the responsibilities laid out in subpart D of this 
part.
    (c) As an excluded person, you may not be a participant or principal 
in the transaction unless--
    (1) The person who entered into the transaction with you allows you 
to continue your involvement in a transaction that predates your 
exclusion, as permitted under Sec.  1265.310 or Sec.  1265.415; or
    (2) A(n) NASA official obtains an exception from the Assistant 
Administrator for Procurement to allow you to be involved in the 
transaction, as permitted under Sec.  1265.120.
