PART 24_GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)--
 
                Subpart J_Limited Denial of Participation
 
Sec.  24.1145  May HUD impute the conduct of one person to another

in a limited denial of participation?

    For purposes of determining a limited denial of participation, HUD 
may impute conduct as follows:
    (a) Conduct imputed from an individual to an organization. HUD may 
impute the fraudulent, criminal, or other improper conduct of any 
officer, director, shareholder, partner, employee, or other individual 
associated with an organization, to that organization when the improper 
conduct occurred in connection with the individual's performance of 
duties for or on behalf of that organization, or with the organization's 
knowledge, approval, or acquiescence. The organization's acceptance of 
the benefits derived from the conduct is evidence of knowledge, 
approval, or acquiescence.
    (b) Conduct imputed from an organization to an individual or between 
individuals. HUD may impute the fraudulent, criminal, or other improper 
conduct of any organization to an individual, or from one individual to 
another individual, if the individual to whom the improper conduct is 
imputed either participated in, had knowledge of, or reason to know of 
the improper conduct.
    (c) Conduct imputed from one organization to another organization. 
HUD may impute the fraudulent, criminal, or other improper conduct of 
one organization to another organization when the improper conduct 
occurred in connection with a partnership, joint venture, joint 
application, association, or similar arrangement, or when the 
organization to whom the improper conduct is imputed has the power to 
direct, manage, control, or influence the activities of the organization 
responsible for the improper conduct. Acceptance of the benefits derived 
from the conduct is evidence of knowledge, approval, or acquiescence.
