Sec. 890.1051  Applying for reinstatement when period of debarment expires.

    (a) Application required. Reinstatement is not automatic when the 
minimum period of a provider's debarment expires. The provider shall 
apply in writing to OPM, supplying specific information about the 
reinstatement criteria outlined in paragraph (c) of this section.
    (b) Reinstatement date. A debarred provider may submit a 
reinstatement application not earlier than 60 days before the nominal 
expiration date of the debarment. However, in no case shall OPM 
reinstate a provider before the minimum period of debarment expires.
    (c) Reinstatement criteria. To be approved, the provider's 
reinstatement application shall clearly demonstrate that:
    (1) There are reasonable assurances that the actions resulting in 
the provider's debarment have not recurred and will not recur;
    (2) There is no basis under this subpart for continuing the 
provider's debarment; and
    (3) There is no pending criminal, civil, or administrative action 
that would subject the provider to debarment by OPM.
    (d) Written notice of OPM action. OPM shall inform the provider in 
writing of its decision regarding the reinstatement application.
    (e) Limitation on reapplication. If OPM denies a provider's 
reinstatement application, the provider is not eligible to reapply for 1 
year after the date of the denial.
