certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered <br />transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or <br />voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows <br />that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the <br />method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its <br />principals. Each participant may, but is not required to check <br />the Nonprocurement List (Tel #). <br />8.
