This interim rule establishes uniform administrative procedures for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (the Act). The interim rule will provide a uniform, department-wide, administrative process for assessing penalties and recovering funds procured by fraud under departmental programs. It replaces the existing program fraud civil remedies rules of entities transferred from eight departments and the General Services Administration into DHS and establishes for the first time civil administrative procedures to deal with fraud under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) programs.
