Subpart C_Responsibilities of Participants Regarding Transactions Doing 
                       Business With Other Persons
 
Sec.  180.315  May I use the services of an excluded person as a principal 

under a covered transaction?

    (a) You as a participant may continue to use the services of an 
excluded person as a principal under a covered transaction if you were 
using the services of that person in the transaction before the person 
was excluded. However, you are not required to continue using that 
person's services as a principal. You should make a decision about 
whether to discontinue that person's services only after a thorough 
review to ensure that the action is proper and appropriate.
    (b) You may not begin to use the services of an excluded person as a 
principal under a covered transaction unless the Federal agency 
responsible for the transaction grants an exception under Sec.  180.135.
