Sec.  1003.703  Other remedies for noncompliance.

    (a) Secretarial actions. If the Secretary finds a grantee has failed 
to comply with any provision of this part even after corrective actions 
authorized under Sec.  1003.701 have been applied, the following actions 
may be taken provided that reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing 
is made to the grantee. (The Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 
et seq.), where applicable, shall be a guide in any situation involving 
adjudications where the Secretary desires to take actions requiring 
reasonable notice and opportunity for a hearing):
    (1) Terminate the grant to the grantee;
    (2) Reduce the grant to the grantee by an amount equal to the amount

which was not expended in accordance with this part; or
    (3) Limit the availability of funds to projects or activities not 
affected by such failure to comply; provided, however, that the 
Secretary may on due notice revoke the grantee's line of credit in whole 
or in part at any time if the Secretary determines that such action is 
necessary to preclude the further expenditure of funds for activities 
affected by such failure to comply.
    (b) Secretarial referral to the Attorney General. If there is reason 
to believe that a grantee has failed to comply substantially with any 
provision of the Act, the Secretary may refer the matter to the Attorney 
General of the United States with a recommendation that an appropriate 
civil action be instituted. Upon such a referral, the Attorney General 
may bring a civil action in any United States district court having 
venue thereof for such relief as may be appropriate, including an action 
to recover the amount of the assistance furnished under this part which 
was not expended in accordance with this part or for mandatory or 
injunctive relief.
