corrective action.

Rights Officer, shall schedule a meeting with the recipient, to be held 
not later than 30 days from receipt of the deficiency report.
    (c) Recipients placed in a deficiency status shall be given a 
reasonable time, not to exceed 90 days after receipt of the deficiency 
letter, to voluntarily correct deficiencies.
    (d) The Division Administrator shall seek the cooperation of the 
recipient in correcting deficiencies found during the review. The FHWA

accordance with 49 CFR.
