DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C. 20410

February 19, 1981
OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR
HOUSING - FEDERAL HOUSING COMMISSIONER             IN REPLY REFER TO:
Mortgagee Letter 81-6
TO:  ALL HUD-APPROVED MORTGAGEES
SUBJECT:  Consolidated List of Debarred, Suspended and Ineligible
          Contractors and Grantees
 
     This is to advise that the Department's Consolidated List of
Debarred, Suspended and Ineligible Contractors and Grantees pursuant
to 24 CFR Part 24, will be sent to all HUD-approved mortgagees.  This
is being done to inform approved mortgagees of those individuals and
entities precluded from participation in HUD programs.
 
     Approved mortgagees shall not knowingly engage the services of
any individual or entity in a capacity which offers the opportunity
to influence the actions of the Department with respect to any HUD
program, including the mortgage insurance programs, where it was
known or should have been known that the individual or entity is
included in the Consolidated List of Debarred, Suspended and
Ineligible Contractors and Grantees.  It is the responsibility of
each HUD-approved mortgagee to consult this list in order to make
certain that it is not doing business with or employing individuals
or entities relative to participation in any HUD program, during any
period of debarment, suspension, or placement in ineligibility status
under the provisions of 24 CFR Part 24.  Approved mortgagees that
knowingly engage the services of individuals or entities included in
the list may be subject to administrative sanctions by the
Department's Mortgagee Review Board pursuant to 24 CFR Part 25.
 
                              Sincerely,
 
                              George O. Hipps, Jr.
                              Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary
