Protests.

(h) Deferral of procurement action.
Upon receipt of a protest under
paragraph (d) of this section, the grantee
must defer the protested procurement
action (for example, defer the issuance
of solicitations, contract award, or
issuance of notice to proceed under a
contract) until 10 days after delivery of
its determination to the participating
parties. (The grantee may receive or
open bids at it own risk, if it considers
this to be in its best interest; and see
§ 35.938–4(h)(5).) Where the Regional
Administrator has received a written
protest under paragraph (e) of this
section, he must notify the grantee
promptly to defer its protested
procurement action until notified of the
formal or informal resolution of the
protest.
(i) Enforcement. (1) Noncompliance
with the procurement provisions of this
subchapter by the grantee shall be cause
for enforcement action in accordance
with one or more of the provisions of
§ 35.965 of this subpart.
(2) If the Regional Administrator
determines that a protest prosecuted
pursuant to this section is frivolous, he
may determine the party which
prosecuted such protest to be
nonresponsible and ineligible for future
contract award (see also paragraph (k) of
this section).
(j) Limitation. A protest may not be
filed under this section with respect to
the following:
(1) Issues not arising under the
procurement provisions of this
subchapter; or
(2) Issues relating to the selection of
a consulting engineer, provided that a
protest may be filed only with respect
to the mandatory procedural
requirements of §§ 35.937 through
35.937–9;
(3) Issues primarily determined by
State or local law or ordinances and as
to which the Regional Administrator,
upon review, determines that there is no

contravening Federal requirement and
that the grantee’s action has a rational
basis (see paragraph (e)(4) of this
section).
(4) Provisions of Federal regulations
applicable to direct Federal contracts,
unless such provisions are explicitly
referred to or incorporated in this
subpart;
(5) Basic project design
determinations (for example, the
selection of incineration versus other
methods of disposal of sludge);
(6) Award of subcontracts or issuance
of purchase orders under a formally
advertised, competitively bid, lumpsum construction contract. However,
protest may be made with respect to
alleged violation of the following:
(i) Specification requirements of
§ 35.936–13; or
(ii) Provisions of this subpart
applicable to the procurement
procedures, negotiation or award of
subcontracts or issuance of purchase
orders under §§ 35.937–12 (subcontracts
under subagreements for architectural or
engineering services) or § 35.938–9
(subcontracts under construction
contracts).
(k) Summary disposition. The
Regional Administrator may summarily
dismiss a protest, without proceedings
under paragraph (d) or (e) of this
section, if he determines that the protest
is untimely, frivolous or without
merit—for example, that the protested
action of the grantee primarily involves
issues of State or local law. Any such
determination shall refer briefly to the
facts substantiating the basis for the
determination.
(l) Index. The EPA General Counsel
will publish periodically as a notice
document in the Federal Register an
index of Regional Administrator protest
determinations. (See, e.g., 43 FR 29085,
July 5, 1978.)
