At any time before a final decision on debarment is made, the Attorney General may recommend that the Board immediately suspend the person pending possible debarment. After considering the recommendation of the Attorney General, and any other pertinent information, the Board shall determine whether immediate suspension of the person is warranted pending the outcome of the debarment proceedings. If the Board determines that the Attorney General has a reasonable basis for beginning debarment proceedings, the Board may suspend the person pending the outcome of the proceedings.
