Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies; 
Governmentwide Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment

June 12, 1995.
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is further amending its 
guidelines governing implementation of Executive Order (E.O.) 12549, 
``Debarment and Suspension,'' to conform to the amendments to the 
agencies' governmentwide common rule.
    In 1986, the President signed E.O. 12549 to establish 
governmentwide effect for an agency's nonprocurement debarment and 
suspension actions. Section 6 of this Order directed OMB to issue 
guidelines governing implementation of the Order, and section 3 of this 
Order directed the departments and agencies to promulgate final rules, 
consistent with these guidelines. In 1987, OMB issued its final 
guidelines (52 FR 20360).
    In 1988, OMB amended its guidelines to conform to the agencies' 
governmentwide common rule (53 FR 19160). In 1989, the President signed 
E.O. 12689 to establish regulations providing for reciprocal 
governmentwide effect across procurement and nonprocurement for each 
agency's debarment and suspension actions, after technical differences 
between the procurement and nonprocurement regulations governing 
debarments and suspensions are resolved. On October 13, 1994, President 
Clinton signed the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act. Section 2455 
of that Act provides that the debarment, suspension, or other exclusion 
of a participant in a procurement activity under the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), or in a nonprocurement activity under 
regulations issued pursuant to E.O. 12549, shall be given reciprocal 
governmentwide effect.
    On December 20, 1994, the agencies proposed a common rule to ensure 
reciprocal governmentwide effect (59 FR 65607). Now, the agencies are 
amending both the FAR and the nonprocurement governmentwide common rule 
to achieve reciprocity. In connection with these actions, OMB is 
amending its guidelines to conform to the governmentwide common rule.
John A. Koskinen,
Deputy Director for Management.
