Sec. 652.40  Effect of decertification.

    (a) The Department will not make payment under a program contract 
for the technical services of a decertified technical service provider 
that were provided during the period of decertification. Likewise, NRCS 
will not procure, or otherwise enter into an agreement for, the services 
of a decertified technical service provider during the period of 
decertification.
    (b) National decertification list. NRCS shall maintain a current 
list of decertified technical service providers. NRCS shall remove 
decertified providers from the list of certified providers. Participants 
may not hire a decertified technical service provider. It is the 
participant's responsibility to check the decertified list before hiring 
a technical service provider. Decertification of a technical service 
provider in one State decertifies the technical service provider from 
providing technical services under current programs in all States, the 
Caribbean Area, and the Pacific Basin Area.
