Sec.  23.52  Grant suspension.



    (a) When a grantee has materially failed to comply and remains out 

of compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant, the grants 

officer may, after reasonable notice to the grantee and the provision of 

requested technical assistance, suspend the grant. The notice preceding 

the suspension shall include the effective date of the suspension, the 

corrective measures necessary for reinstatement of the grant and, if 

there is no immediate threat to safety, a reasonable timeframe for 

corrective action prior to actual suspension.

    (b) No obligation incurred by the grantee during the period of 

suspension shall be allowable under the suspended grant, except that the 

grants officer may at his/her discretion allow necessary and proper 

costs which the grantee could not reasonably avoid during the period of 

suspension if such costs would otherwise be allowable under the 

applicable cost principles.

    (c) Appropriate adjustments to the payments under the suspended 

grant will be made either by withholding the payments or by not allowing 

the grantee credit for disbursements which the grantee may make in 

liquidation of unauthorized obligations the grantee incurs during the 

period of suspension.

    (d) Suspension shall remain in effect until the grantee has taken 

corrective action to the satisfaction of the grants officer, or given 

assurances satisfactory to the grants officer that corrective action 

will be taken, or until the grants officer cancels the grant.
