# §180.885. May the debarring official extend a debarment?

- (a) **Yes.** The debarring official may extend a debarment for an additional period if that official determines that an extension is necessary to protect the public interest.
- (b) However, the debarring official may not extend a debarment solely on the basis of the facts and circumstances upon which the initial debarment action was based.
- (c) If the debarring official decides that a debarment for an additional period is necessary, the debarring official must follow the applicable procedures in this subpart, and subpart F, to extend the debarment.
