The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) implements Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on nonprocurement suspension and debarment, issued on August 31, 2005 [70 FR 51863], by adopting the guidelines in a new part in title 2 of the CFR, the Government-wide title recently established for OMB guidance on grants and agreements, and removing 45 CFR part 1185, the part containing the IMLS implementation of the government-wide common rule on nonprocurement debarment and suspension. This regulatory action would make no substantive change in IMLS policy or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.
Institute of Museum and Library Services, ATTN: Office of the General Counsel, 1800 M Street, NW., 9th Floor, Washington, DC 20036; or Calvin D. Trowbridge III, (202) 653-4675. Hearing-impaired individuals are advised that information on this matter may be obtained by contacting the IMLS TTY Phone on (202) 653-4614.
This final rule implements the OMB guidance and does not make any changes in current policies and procedures. IMLS is not soliciting public comment on this rule and is instead issuing this rule as a direct final rule. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) agencies are not required to undergo notice and comment procedure for “interpretative rules, general statements of policy, or rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice.” Because this rule adopts OMB's published guidelines, which followed notice and comment procedures, and collocates IMLS' specific nonprocurement suspension and debarment rules to title 2 of the CFR, we believe that it falls under the exception cited above.
This rule is not significant because the replacement of the common rule with OMB guidance and a brief IMLS adopting regulation does not make any changes in current policies and procedures.
1. Add Chapter XXXI to Subtitle B to read as follows:
3185.137
Who in IMLS may grant an exception to let an excluded person participate in a covered transaction?
3185.220
3185.332
3185.437

§ 3185.10
§ 3185.20
§ 3185.30
The IMLS policies and procedures that you must follow are the policies and procedures specified in each applicable section of the OMB guidance in Subparts A through I of 2 CFR part 180, as that section is supplemented by the section in this part with the same section number. The contracts that are covered transactions, for example, are specified by section 220 of the OMB guidance (i.e., 2 CFR 180.220) as supplemented by section 220 in this part (i.e., § 3185.220). For any section of OMB guidance in Subparts A through I of 2 CFR 180 that has no corresponding section in this part, IMLS policies and procedures are those in the OMB guidance.
§ 3185.137
Who in the IMLS may grant an exception to let an excluded person participate in a covered transaction?
§ 3185.220
§ 3185.332
