<p>The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its regulations concerning limited denials of participation (LDPs). LDPs are VA-specific sanctions that the Loan Guaranty Service (LGY) may order to temporarily limit parties (other than veterans and lenders) from participating in VA&rsquo;s housing programs. The purpose of this rule would be to clarify and expand the conduct providing cause for an LDP and the parties who may be subject to an LDP, as well as to increase the potential period and scope of an LDP and add requirements for participation with VA programs following an LDP. The rule would also provide more efficient administrative processes for the ordering, provision of notice, and contesting of an LDP. This action is necessary to enable VA to more efficiently administer LDPs and ensure that they more effectively sanction the range of conduct and parties that currently cause harm or loss to veterans or programs administered by LGY.</p>
