42 U.S.C. § 7606(a) · Open source
No federal agency shall enter into any contract with any person convicted of an offense under § 7413(c)(1) for the procurement of goods, materials, and services if the contract is to be performed at any facility at which the violation occurred, and if the facility is owned, leased, or supervised by such person, until the Administrator certifies that the condition giving rise to the conviction has been corrected.
Establishes: Facility-based federal contracting disqualification tied to a Clean Air Act criminal conviction, administered by the EPA Administrator (see 40 CFR Part 15).
Plain English: A federal criminal conviction can lock a facility out of federal contracts until EPA — not the pardon office — certifies the underlying problem is fixed. Whether a pardon dissolves that facility listing is a distinct legal question.
