98.730—What information must I provide to the suspending official if I contest a suspension?
(a)
In addition to any information and argument in opposition, as a respondent your submission to the suspending official must identify—
(1)
Specific facts that contradict the statements contained in the Notice of Suspension. A general denial is insufficient to raise a genuine dispute over facts material to the suspension;
(2)
All existing, proposed, or prior exclusions under regulations implementing E.O. 12549 and all similar actions taken by Federal, state, or local agencies, including administrative agreements that affect only those agencies;
(3)
All criminal and civil proceedings not included in the Notice of Suspension that grew out of facts relevant to the cause(s) stated in the notice; and
(b)
If you fail to disclose this information, or provide false information, the Department of Labor may seek further criminal, civil or administrative action against you, as appropriate.
