## Abstract

The Department of Energy (DOE) today is publishing a final rule which amends its regulations governing debarment and suspension in procurement and nonprocurement activities. The rule establishes a common fact-finding process in procurement and nonprocurement cases involving a genuine dispute over material facts. The rule removes the Department's procurement debarment and suspension regulations from part 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and recodifies them in the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR), chapter 9 of title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
