Reinstatement Considerations Guidance

This guidance is used in developing a recommendation to the suspension and debarment official on a reinstatement petition when determining whether a petitioner has corrected the technical and non-technical causes that led to a Clean Water Act or Clean Air Act conviction and should be reinstated. While this information may prove helpful and useful for reinstatement purposes and Respondents are encouraged to provide it as applicable, there is no requirement that they do so and respondents may also choose to provide additional information that they believe is relevant for reinstatement purposes and that relates to the technical and non-technical causes that led to the conviction.
