PART 3017_GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 3017.50  How is this part written?

    (a) This part uses a ``plain language'' format to make it easier for 
the general public and business community to use. The section headings 
and text, often in the form of questions and answers, must be read 
together.
    (b) Pronouns used within this part, such as ``I'' and ``you,'' 
change from subpart to subpart depending on the audience being 
addressed. The pronoun ``we'' always is the Department of Agriculture.
    (c) The ``Covered Transactions'' diagram in the appendix to this 
part shows the levels or ``tiers'' at which the Department of 
Agriculture enforces an exclusion under this part. However, this diagram 
shows only the general model for the levels or ``tiers'' at which the 
Department of Agriculture enforces an exclusion under this part, and the 
model will vary for certain categories of transactions in accordance 
with the exclusions from covered transactions in Sec. 3017.215 and 
Sec. 3017.220.
