Sec.  56.124  Actions alternative or additional to disqualification.

    Disqualification of an IRB or of an institution is independent of, 
and neither in lieu of nor a precondition to, other proceedings or 
actions authorized by the act. The Food and Drug Administration may, at 
any time, through the Department of Justice institute any appropriate 
judicial proceedings (civil or criminal) and any other appropriate 
regulatory action, in addition to or in lieu of, and before, at the time 
of, or after, disqualification. The agency may also refer pertinent 
matters to another Federal, State, or local government agency for any 
action that that agency determines to be appropriate.
