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.
