Sec. 1532.1215  What happens if I disagree with the information provided by 

others to the EPA debarring official on my reinstatement request?

    (a) If your reinstatement request is based on factual information 
(as opposed to a legal matter or discretionary conclusion) that is 
different from the information provided by others or otherwise contained 
in the administrative record, the debarring official will decide whether 
those facts are genuinely in dispute, and material to making a decision. 
If so, a fact-finding proceeding will be conducted in accordance with 2 
CFR 180.830 through 180.840, and the debarring official will consider 
the findings when making a decision on your reinstatement request.
    (b) If the basis for your disagreement with the information 
contained in the administrative record relates to a legal issue or 
discretionary conclusion, or is not a genuine dispute over a material 
fact, you will not have a fact-finding

proceeding. However, the debarring official will allow you ample 
opportunity to support your position for the record and present matters 
in opposition to your continued disqualification. A summary of any 
information you provide orally, if not already recorded, should also be 
submitted to the debarring official in writing to assure that it is 
preserved for the debarring official's consideration and the 
administrative record.
