§ 2424.1110 When may a HUD official issue a limited denial of participation?
(a) An authorized HUD official may issue a limited denial of participation against a person, based upon adequate evidence of any of the following causes:
(1) Approval of an applicant for insurance would constitute an unsatisfactory risk;
(2) There are irregularities in a person's past performance in a HUD program;
(3) The person has failed to maintain the prerequisites of eligibility to participate in a HUD program;
(4) The person has failed to honor contractual obligations or to proceed in accordance with contract specifications or HUD regulations;
(5) The person has failed to satisfy, upon completion, the requirements of an assistance agreement or contract;
(6) The person has deficiencies in ongoing construction projects;
(7) The person has falsely certified in connection with any HUD program, whether or not the certification was made directly to HUD;
(8) The person has committed any act or omission that would be cause for debarment under 2 CFR 180.800;
(9) The person has violated any law, regulation, or procedure relating to the application for financial assistance, insurance, or guarantee, or to the performance of obligations incurred pursuant to a grant of financial assistance or pursuant to a conditional or final commitment to insure or guarantee;
(10) The person has made or procured to be made any false statement for the purpose of influencing in any way an action of the Department; or
(11) Imposition of a limited denial of participation by any other HUD office.
(b) Filing of a criminal Indictment or Information shall constitute adequate evidence for the purpose of limited denial of participation actions. The Indictment or Information need not be based on offenses against HUD.
(c) Imposition of a limited denial of participation by any other HUD office shall constitute adequate evidence for a concurrent limited denial of participation. Where such a concurrent limited denial of participation is imposed, participation may be restricted on the same basis without the need for an additional conference or further hearing.
(d) An affiliate or organizational element may be included in a limited denial of participation solely on the basis of its affiliation, and regardless of its knowledge of or participation in the acts providing cause for the sanction. The burden of proving that a particular affiliate or organizational element is currently responsible and not controlled by the primary sanctioned party (or by an entity that itself is controlled by the primary sanctioned party) is on the affiliate or organizational element.
