HUD Acquisition Regulation (HUDAR)
Debarment and Suspension
Procedures; Correcting Amendment
Office of the Secretary, HUD.
Correcting amendment.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This document amends
HUD’s regulations on debarment,
suspension and ineligibility to correct
cross-references to reflect changes made
in previous rulemakings. A final rule,
which was published on October 29,
2007, amended HUD’s Acquisition
Regulation (HUDAR), codified at title 48
of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), to include the debarment and
suspension procedures specifically
applicable to HUD’s procurement
contracts. Subsequent to the October
2007 final rule, HUD issued regulations
that moved HUD’s debarment and
suspension regulations from 24 CFR
part 24 to 2 CFR part 2424. At that time,
HUD also adopted, by cross-reference,
the governmentwide debarment and
suspension regulations at 2 CFR part
180.
This correcting amendment revises
the HUDAR at 48 CFR 2409.7001 to
refer to the debarment and suspension
regulations now located at 2 CFR parts
2424 and 180.
DATES: Effective Date: This correcting
amendment is effective as of August 31,
2009.

SUMMARY:
On
December 27, 2007, HUD published a
final rule titled ‘‘Implementation of
OMB Guidance on Nonprocurement
Debarment and Suspension’’ (72 FR
73487). The December 27, 2007, final
rule moved HUD’s debarment and
suspension regulations from 24 CFR
part 24 to 2 CFR part 2424 effective
January 28, 2008, consistent with
directions of the Office of Management
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with RULES

and Budget (OMB) to all federal
agencies to relocate agency-specific
debarment and suspension regulations
to a new title 2 of the CFR. The
December 27, 2007, final rule also
adopted the OMB governmentwide
guidance on nonprocurement
debarment and suspension, codified in
2 CFR part 180, along with HUDspecific amendments, including several
conforming amendments throughout
HUD’s regulations. Many of these
changes were revisions to crossreferences required by the fact that
many HUD regulations referred to
HUD’s debarment and suspension
regulations, formerly codified at 24 CFR
part 24, and these regulations needed
updating to refer to 2 CFR part 2424.
Specifically, HUD’s acquisition
regulation at 48 CFR 2409.7001 contains
HUD’s regulation on debarment and
suspension but cross-references HUD’s
former nonprocurement debarment
regulations at 24 CFR part 24, and states
that, notwithstanding language to the
contrary at former 24 CFR 24.220(a)(1),
the nonprocurement regulations at 24
CFR part 24 also apply to HUD’s
debarment and suspensions in the realm
of procurement acquisition.
Accordingly, this correcting
amendment revises the cross-reference
to 24 CFR part 24 to cross-reference
those regulations in their current
location, 2 CFR parts 180 and 2424. This
change does not change the substantive
meaning or impact of any of HUD’s
regulations, but solely corrects an
incorrect cross-reference. A member of
the public relying on the cross-reference
in 48 CFR 2409.7001 would still be
directed to the correct regulations, as 24
CFR part 24 now reads, in its entirety,
‘‘The policies, procedures, and
requirements for debarment,
suspension, and limited denial of
participation are set forth in 2 CFR part
2424.’’ Part 2424, in turn, refers to part
180. While the meaning is the same,
correcting this cross-reference is
obviously more convenient for the
public.

ACTION: Final rule; correction
SUMMARY: NMFS publishes Fraser River
salmon inseason orders to regulate
salmon fisheries in U.S. waters. NMFS
maintains a telephone hotline to notify
the public of these inseason orders. The
telephone number for the hotline that is
specified in the Code of Federal

action corrects the language in the CFR
to remove that number and specify that
the correct telephone number for the
hotline is included in the annual

Salmon Fisheries, published in the
Federal Register.
