The Office of Inspector General is providing this instructional video to help assist users
with downloading the list of excluded individuals and entities list. To reach the downloadable
database files from the Office of Inspector General's main website, hover over the exclusions
tab and chose LEIE downloadable databases. The updated LEIE contains all current exclusions
actions from 1977 through the previous month. So for example, the current updated LEIE that
is posted contains all exclusion actions from 1977 through May of 2013. You will also see
that we post current monthly supplements. These files contain actions that only occurred
during that month. Each month the updated LEIE as well as the current monthly supplements
are updated. They are usually posted by the 10th of the new month. Users that have a 64
bit system will only be able to use the zip version of the LEIE database. To download
either the updated LEIE or monthly supplement chose either the .exe file or the zip file.
After making your selection, a dialogue box will open for you. You will have three options
open, save or cancel. Always click save. At this screen, this is where you will choose
where you wish to place the file on your system. Be sure never to change the file name as this
will affect the format. Here I am placing the file on my desktop. Once you have made
your selection as to where you would like the file to go click save. Once your download
is complete you have another three options open, open folder or close. I choose close
and I minimize the internet. Here you will see the file as located on my desktop. Double
click the file, choose unzip and unzip to a selected folder. Here once again you will
choose where you wish the file to go, choose unzip. Here you will now see that the file
can be found on my desktop. Double click the file to open it. You will need Access or Excel
to view the file. In some cases you may have to choose the program to open the file. And
again be sure to choose Excel or Access. If you have any questions regarding the downloading
of the LEIE database files please contact the Exclusions Branch. From the exclusions
tab on the Office of Inspector General's website, choose Contact the Exclusions Program. Here
you will find the email address, mailing address and telephone number for the Exclusions Branch.
