On June 15, 2016, the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee transmitted its annual report to Congress concerning the status of the federal suspension and debarment system, known as the “873 Report” after section 873 of Public Law 110-417, which requires the annual reporting. The 873 report evidences a slight decline in suspensions, proposed debarments, and debarments from FY 2014 to FY 2015, and an overall increase in the use of “alternatives to exclusion” such as administrative agreements (up 25 percent), and show cause letters (up 30 percent).

DOJ Establishes National Fraud Enforcement Division
On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This new division will be dedicated to the centralized, coordinated investigation and prosecution of fraud against taxpayer dollars and taxpayer-funded programs. AAG Blanche acknowledged that, while DOJ has a “storied history of combatting fraud,” DOJ has “never adopted a comprehensive and coordinated approach to investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer dollars and tax-payer funded programs.” The NFED was created to close that gap with its core mission being to “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars.”
