Sec. 890.1026  Procedures if a fact-finding proceeding is not required.

    (a) Debarring official's procedures. If a fact-finding proceeding is 
not required, the debarring official shall issue a final decision of a 
provider's contest within 30 days after the record closes for submitting 
evidence, arguments, and information as part of the contest. The 
debarring official may extend this timeframe for good cause.
    (b) No further administrative review available. There are no further 
OPM administrative proceedings after the presiding official's final 
decision. A provider adversely affected by the decision may appeal under 
5 U.S.C. 8902a(h)(2) to the appropriate U.S. district court.
