Sec. 890.1017  Determining length of debarment based on revocation or 
suspension of a provider's professional licensure.

    (a) Indefinite term of debarment. Subject to the exceptions set 
forth in paragraph (b) of this section, debarment under 5 U.S.C. 
8902a(c)(1) shall be for an indefinite period coinciding with the period 
during which the provider's license is revoked, suspended, restricted, 
surrendered, or otherwise not in effect in the State whose action formed 
the basis for OPM's debarment.
    (b) Aggravating circumstances. If any of the aggravating 
circumstances set forth in Sec. 890.1016 apply, OPM may debar the 
provider for an additional period beyond the duration of the licensure 
revocation or suspension.
