This regulation establishes the policies and procedures of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for nonprocurement debarment and suspension, aligning with guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). It specifies who must comply with these rules, including participants in covered transactions, respondents in NRC actions, and NRC officials, and outlines how these requirements should be communicated to lower-tier participants. Additionally, it designates the Director of the Office of Administration as the official responsible for debarment and suspension actions, and grants this official the authority to make exceptions for excluded persons to participate in covered transactions.
