Abstract
This document sets forth a technical revision to OIG regulations on program integrity for Medicare and State Health Care programs, concerning the scope and effect of the OIG's program exclusion regulations. Prior to this revision, the regulations provided that a program exclusion imposed under title XI of the Social Security Act was to affect future participation in all Federal nonprocurement programs. This revision specifically amends the language in the existing regulations to clarify that the scope of an exclusion is now applicable to all Executive Branch procurement and non-procurement programs and activities. This rule is consistent with the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act, and the Department's Common Rule on debarment and suspension which is also being amended and published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
