Except if provided for in subpart J of this part, this part—

1. (a) Addresses disqualified persons only to—

   1. (1) Provide for their inclusion in the EPLS; and
   2. (2) State responsibilities of Federal agencies and participants to check for disqualified persons before entering into covered transactions.

2. (b) Does not specify the—

   1. (1) Department of the Treasury transactions for which a disqualified person is ineligible. Those transactions vary on a case-by-case basis, because they depend on the language of the specific statute, Executive order, or regulation that caused the disqualification;
   2. (2) Entities to which the disqualification applies; or
   3. (3) Process that the agency uses to disqualify a person. Unlike exclusion, disqualification is frequently not a discretionary action that a Federal agency takes.
