Sec. 602.43  How is a decision on limitation, suspension, or termination 

of recognition reached?



    (a) After consideration of the notice of intent to limit, suspend, 

or terminate recognition, the agency's response, if any, and all 

submissions and presentations made at the hearing, if any, the 

subcommittee issues a written opinion and sends it to the Secretary, 

with copies to the agency and the senior Department official. The 

opinion includes--

    (1) Findings of fact, based on consideration of all the evidence, 

presentations, and submissions before the subcommittee;

    (2) A recommendation as to whether a limitation, suspension, or 

termination of the agency's recognition is warranted; and

    (3) The reasons supporting the subcommittee's recommendation.

    (b) Unless the subcommittee's recommendation is appealed under Sec. 

602.44, the Secretary issues a final decision on whether to limit, 

suspend, or terminate the agency's recognition. The Secretary bases the 

decision on consideration of the full record before the subcommittee and 

the subcommittee's opinion.
