The Department of Energy (DOE) is moving its regulations on nonprocurement debarment and suspension from their current location in title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to title 2 of the CFR, and is adopting the format established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in a notice of interim final guidance on nonprocurement debarment and suspension published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2005. In today's rule, DOE establishes a new 2 CFR part 901 that adopts OMB's final government-wide guidance on nonprocurement debarment and suspension and contains supplemental DOE nonprocurement debarment and suspension provisions. In addition, this rule removes 10 CFR part 606, the existing DOE nonprocurement debarment and suspension regulations, and makes a conforming change to 10 CFR part 600. These changes constitute an administrative simplification that makes no substantive change in DOE policy or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.
