Sec. 731.205  Debarment by agencies.

    (a) Subject to the provisions of Sec. 731.103, when an agency finds 
an applicant or appointee unsuitable for reasons listed in Sec. 731.202, 
the agency may deny that person examination for, and appointment to, 
all, or specific,, positions within the agency for a period of not more 
than 1 year from the date of determination of unsuitability.
    (b) On expiration of a period of agency debarment, the agency may 
redetermine a person's suitability for appointment by the agency, in 
accordance with the procedures of this part.
    (c) The agency is responsible for enforcing the period of debarment 
and taking appropriate action should the individual apply or be 
inappropriately appointed during the debarment period. This does not 
limit OPM's ability to exercise jurisdiction and take an action if it 
deems appropriate.
    (d) The agency, in its sole discretion, determines the duration of 
any period of debarment imposed under this section.
