Sec. 890.1022  Contesting proposed permissive debarments.

    (a) Right to contest a proposed debarment. A provider proposed for 
debarment under a permissive debarment authority may challenge the 
debarment by filing a written contest with the debarring official during 
the 30-day notice period indicated in the notice of proposed debarment. 
In the absence of a timely contest, the debarment shall become effective 
as stated in the notice, without further action by OPM.
    (b) Challenging the length of a proposed debarment. A provider may 
contest the length of the proposed debarment, while not challenging the 
debarment itself, or may contest both the length of a debarment and the 
debarment itself in the same contest.
