addition to other remedies to the Federal Government, the Department of
Labor (DOL) may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or
debarment.
3. The prospective recipient of Federal assistance funds shall provide
immediate written notice to the person to which this proposal is
submitted if at any time the prospective recipient of Federal
