40 CFR Part 15 — Administrative Procedures for Federal Contractor Listing under Section 306 of the Clean Air Act

Code of Federal Regulations


Overview

40 CFR Part 15 is the implementing regulation for the § 306 federal-contractor listing process, including EPA Administrator listing, notice to the offending facility, and the reinstatement procedure.

Repeal relevance: Documents the operational mechanics of § 306. The listing is facility-based and administered by EPA, not the pardon office.

  • 40 CFR Part 15 (§§ 15.10–15.20) · Open source

    Upon a conviction under § 7413(c)(1), the EPA Administrator lists the offending facility on the List of Violating Facilities; federal agencies are then barred from awarding covered contracts for performance at that facility until the Administrator certifies that the condition giving rise to the conviction has been corrected and removes the listing.

    Establishes: The administrative mechanics of § 306 listing and reinstatement — a facility-based, EPA-administered consequence separate from any criminal sentence.

    Plain English: This is the procedure that keeps a facility off federal contracts even after criminal sentencing is complete. Removal requires an EPA certification step; a pardon of the individual does not, by itself, delist the facility.
