U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 7606. Federal procurement
(a) Contracts with violators prohibited
No Federal agency may enter into any contract with any person who
is convicted of any offense under section 7413(c) of this title for
the procurement of goods, materials, and services to perform such
contract at any facility at which the violation which gave rise to
such conviction occurred if such facility is owned, leased, or
supervised by such person. The prohibition in the preceding
sentence shall continue until the Administrator certifies that the
condition giving rise to such a conviction has been corrected. For
convictions arising under section 7413(c)(2) of this title, the
condition giving rise to the conviction also shall be considered to
include any substantive violation of this chapter associated with
the violation of 7413(c)(2) of this title. The Administrator may
extend this prohibition to other facilities owned or operated by
the convicted person.
(b) Notification procedures
The Administrator shall establish procedures to provide all
Federal agencies with the notification necessary for the purposes
of subsection (a) of this section.
(c) Federal agency contracts
In order to implement the purposes and policy of this chapter to
protect and enhance the quality of the Nation's air, the President
shall, not more than 180 days after December 31, 1970, cause to be
issued an order (1) requiring each Federal agency authorized to
enter into contracts and each Federal agency which is empowered to
extend Federal assistance by way of grant, loan, or contract to
effectuate the purpose and policy of this chapter in such
contracting or assistance activities, and (2) setting forth
procedures, sanctions, penalties, and such other provisions, as the
President determines necessary to carry out such requirement.
(d) Exemptions; notification to Congress
The President may exempt any contract, loan, or grant from all or
part of the provisions of this section where he determines such
exemption is necessary in the paramount interest of the United
States and he shall notify the Congress of such exemption.
