Suspension and Debarment:   An Administrative Tool for Addressing NonCompliance: Perspective from EPA

The Section of Administrative Law, Environmental Law Committee and the Section of Environment, Energy and Resources In-House Counsel Committee invite you to attend a Brown Bag program 12:00-1:30 EST Tuesday, May 15, on the federal government’s suspension and debarment authority. Companies subject to these actions are unable to participate in government contracts, subcontracts, loans, grants, and other assistance programs. Being subject to such an action, or even the threat thereof, can have an immeasurable impact on a company, and can serve as a powerful incentive for a company to improve its compliance program. The effect of suspension and debarment by a Federal agency is government wide and can be extended to include subsidiaries and parent companies. Join SEER’s In-House Counsel Committee and EPA officials to learn how the Agency uses suspension and debarment as a tool for deterrence, what constitutes an actionable offense, and the regulatory framework. The program will also present industry perspectives and address control systems and remediation efforts.

Panelists are:

  • Stacey Dey-Foy, EPA
  • Irene Hantman, Verdant Law PLLC (Moderator)
  • Richard Pelletier, EPA
  • Steve Solow, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, Washington, DC
  • Mike Walker, EPA
