Sec. 890.1068  Effect of not contesting proposed penalties and assessments.

    (a) Proposed sanctions may be implemented immediately. In the

decision implementing the proposed financial sanctions immediately, 
without further procedures.
    (b) Debarring official sends notice after implementing sanctions. 
Immediately upon issuing a final decision under paragraph (a), the 
debarring official must send the provider written notice, via certified 
return receipt mail or express delivery service, stating:
    (1) The amount of penalties and assessments imposed;
    (2) The date on which they were imposed; and
    (3) The means by which the provider may pay the penalties and 
assessments.
    (c) No appeal rights. A provider may not pursue a further 
administrative or judicial appeal of the debarring official's final 
decision implementing any sanctions if a timely contest was not filed in 
response to OPM's notice under Sec. 890.1066.
