- (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.
