                     TITLE 2--GRANTS AND AGREEMENTS
 
 CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET GOVERNMENTWIDE GUIDANCE FOR 
                          GRANTS AND AGREEMENTS
 
PART 180_OMB GUIDELINES TO AGENCIES ON GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION 
 
Sec.  180.45  Do these guidelines cover persons who are disqualified, as well 

as those who are excluded from nonprocurement transactions?

    A Federal agency may add a subpart covering disqualifications to its 
regulation implementing these guidelines, but the guidelines in subparts 
A through I of this part--
    (a) Address disqualified persons only to--
    (1) Provide for their inclusion in the EPLS; and
    (2) State responsibilities of Federal agencies and participants to 
check for disqualified persons before entering into covered 
transactions.
    (b) Do not specify the--
    (1) Transactions for which a disqualified person is ineligible. 
Those transactions vary on a case-by-case basis,

because they depend on the language of the specific statute, Executive 
order or regulation that caused the disqualification;
    (2) Entities to which a disqualification applies; or
    (3) Process that a Federal agency uses to disqualify a person. 
Unlike exclusion under subparts A through I of this part, 
disqualification is frequently not a discretionary action that a Federal 
agency takes, and may include special procedures.
