# §3485.611. What procedures do we use for a suspension or debarment action involving a title IV, HEA transaction?

- (a) If we suspend a title IV, HEA participant under Executive Order 12549, we use the following procedures to ensure that the suspension prevents participation in title IV, HEA transactions:
  - (1) The notification procedures in [§ 180.715](/cfr/2/180.715.md) of this title.
  - (2) Instead of the procedures in [§§ 180.720 through 180.760](/cfr/2/180.720..180.760.md) of this title, the procedures in [34 CFR part 668](/cfr/34/part668.md), subpart [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), or [34](/cfr/2/subpart34.md) CFR [part 682](/cfr/2/part682.md), subpart [D](/cfr/2/subpartD.md) or [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), as applicable.
  - (3) In addition to the findings and conclusions required by [34 CFR part 668](/cfr/34/part668.md), subpart [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), or [34](/cfr/2/subpart34.md) CFR [part 682](/cfr/2/part682.md), subpart [D](/cfr/2/subpartD.md) or [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), the suspending official, and, on appeal, the Secretary determines whether there is sufficient cause for suspension as explained in [§ 180.700](/cfr/2/180.700.md) of this title.
- (b) If we debar a title IV, HEA participant under E.O. 12549, we use the following procedures to ensure that the debarment also precludes participation in title IV, HEA transactions:
  - (1) The notification procedures in §§ [180.805](/cfr/2/180.805.md) and [180.870](/cfr/2/180.870.md) of this title.
  - (2) Instead of the procedures in [§§ 180.810 through 180.885](/cfr/2/180.810..180.885.md) of this title, the procedures in [34 CFR part 668](/cfr/34/part668.md), subpart [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), or [34](/cfr/2/subpart34.md) CFR [part 682](/cfr/2/part682.md), subpart [D](/cfr/2/subpartD.md) or [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), as applicable.
  - (3) On appeal from a decision debarring a title IV, HEA participant, we issue a final decision after we receive any written materials from the parties.
  - (4) In addition to the findings and conclusions required by [34 CFR part 668](/cfr/34/part668.md), subpart [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), or [34](/cfr/2/subpart34.md) CFR [part 682](/cfr/2/part682.md), subpart [D](/cfr/2/subpartD.md) or [G](/cfr/2/subpartG.md), the debarring official, and, on appeal, the Secretary determines whether there is sufficient cause for debarment as explained in [§ 180.800](/cfr/2/180.800.md) of this title.
