2. What actions have been taken and what is their scope?
   
   
   1. The FHWA has decided to debar the individual indicated above for a period of three (3) years. This debarment shall be retroactive from the date the individual was suspended from the Florida Department of Transportation; DEBARMENT EXPIRES: October 22, 2004.
      
      
   2. The individual cited above has been notified in writing of this decision. Upon the signature of this Notice by the debarring official, the suspension of the individual cited in paragraph 1 shall terminate, and his debarment shall become effective.
   
   
3. What is the scope of these actions?
   
   
   1. The individual cited in paragraph 1 is prohibited from being a participant or principal in any primary or lower tier covered transaction, as defined in 68 Fed. Reg. 66533, 66547 (2003) (to be codified at 49 C.F.R. Part 29, Subpart B). Generally, the individual is prohibited from submitting a proposal or entering, or participating as an officer, director, owner, partner, key employee, or other person with primary management or supervisory responsibilities, or one who has critical influence on or substantive control over a covered transaction, whether employed by a person who submits a proposal for, or enters into a covered transaction, including any procurement and nonprocurement transaction between an agency and a person. The debarment shall be effective throughout the Executive Branch of the Federal Government.
      
      
   2. As stated in 68 Fed. Reg. 66533, 66546 (2003) (to be codified at 49 C.F.R. 29.110), the debarment is consistent with the Federal Government's policy of using the discretionary action of debarment to conduct business only with responsible persons and companies, and to protect the public interest, the Federal Government, and the integrity of Federal programs.
   
   
4. What is the cause for debarment?
   
   
   1. On August 29, 2001, Howard L. Glover was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, nine counts of making false statements in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, and three counts of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341. On October 22, 2001, the Florida Department of Transportation suspended Howard L. Glover for a period of three years.
      
      
   2. Howard L. Glover has committed acts that are cause for debarment under 49 CFR, Sections 29.305(a)(1), (3), & (4) (2002): conviction of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public or private agreement or transaction, making false statements, and a conviction for acommission of an offense indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty that seriously and directly affects his present responsibility. Because Howard L. Glover failed to respond to the FHWA's notice proposing debarment within thirty (30) days, he has waived his right to contest this debarment action.
      
      
   3. This debarment action has been taken in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 29 (2002).
