# §556.404. What do the non-procurement debarment rules require that I do?


You must comply with the Department's non-procurement debarment regulations at 2 CFR parts [180](/cfr/2/part180.md) and [1400](/cfr/2/part1400.md).

- (a) You must notify BOEM if you know that you or your principals are excluded, disqualified, have been convicted or are indicted of a crime as described in [2 CFR part 180](/cfr/2/part180.md), subpart C. You must make this notification before you sign a lease, sublease, or an assignment of record title interest or operating rights interest, or become a lease or unit operator. This paragraph does not apply if you have previously provided a statement disclosing this information, and you have received an exception from the Department, as described in 2 CFR [180.135](/cfr/2/180.135.md) and [2](/cfr/2/2.md) CFR 1400.137.
- (b) If you wish to enter into a covered transaction with another person at a lower tier, as described in [2 CFR 180.200](/cfr/2/180.200.md), you must first:
  - (1) Verify that the person is not excluded or disqualified under [2 CFR part 180](/cfr/2/part180.md); and
  - (2) **Require the person to—**
    - (i) Comply with [2 CFR part 180](/cfr/2/part180.md), [subpart C](/cfr/30/subpartC.md); and
    - (ii) Include the obligation to comply with [2 CFR part 180](/cfr/2/part180.md), [subpart C](/cfr/30/subpartC.md) in its contracts and other transactions.
- (c) After you enter into a covered transaction, you must immediately notify BOEM in writing if you learn that:
  - (1) You failed to disclose pertinent information earlier; or
  - (2) Due to changed circumstances, you or your principals now meet any of the criteria in [2 CFR 180.800](/cfr/2/180.800.md).
