Jurisdiction Regarding Error

10.7.1 - Jurisdiction Regarding Error (Rev. 739, Issued: 11-01-05, Effective: 07-24-03, Implementation: 01-19-06) The entity that issued the guidance in question has jurisdiction to determine if the guidance was erroneous unless such jurisdiction is delegated to another entity. A contractor that receives a request to make a §903(c) penalty waiver determination with respect to guidance that it did not issue (and for which error jurisdiction has not been delegated) shall refer the request to the issuing entity through its regional office (RO) or project officer unless the contractor retains jurisdiction to complete the penalty waiver determination in accordance with §10.7.2, below. In the latter circumstance, such referral shall be made only to secure a determination regarding whether the guidance was erroneous. An entity that has jurisdiction to determine error but lacks jurisdiction to complete the determination will make such error determination and then refer that finding to the entity that has jurisdiction to complete the penalty waiver determination.
