WHY READ THE REPORT
This report discusses the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) use of suspension and debarment authority within the foreign labor certification (FLC) programs. Suspension and debarment are used to assure that the government does business with only responsible parties. Suspension prohibits persons or entities from participating in government business pending the results of an agency investigation. Debarment excludes persons or entities from government business for up to 3 years for prescribed violations. The Federal government established the government-wide Excluded Parties List System as a comprehensive list of individuals and firms suspended, disqualified, or otherwise excluded from receiving business or benefits from federal agencies.
In concert with the Departments of Homeland Security and State, DOL’s Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) and WHD oversee and enforce provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) related to several visa programs that permit foreign residents to work in the United States. Violations of program requirements subject persons and entities to potential debarment from future program participation and other government business.
