Office of the Secretary, HUD                                                                                § 70.1


actions  by  the  recipient  and  the  State or  HUD  (using  procedures  provided  for in  program  regulations)  to  
assure  that decisions  adopted  through  the  environ- mental  review  process  are  carried  out during  project  
development  and  imple- mentation.
(d)   Responsibility   for   monitoring   and training.  (1)  At  least  once  every  three years, HUD intends to 
conduct in-depth monitoring  and  exercise  quality  con- trol   (through   training   and   consulta- tion) over the 
environmental activities performed by responsible entities under this  part.  Limited  monitoring  of  these 
environmental  activities  will  be  con- ducted    during    each    program    moni- toring  site  visit.  If  
through  limited  or in-depth  monitoring  of  these  environ- mental  activities  or  by  other  means, HUD   becomes  
 aware   of   any   environ- mental deficiencies, HUD may take one or more of the following actions:
(i) In the case of problems found dur- ing    limited    monitoring,    HUD    may schedule   in-depth   monitoring   
at   an earlier  date  or  may  schedule  in-depth monitoring more frequently;
(ii)  HUD  may  require  attendance  by staff  of  the  responsible  entity  at  HUD- sponsored  or  approved  
training,  which will be provided periodically at various locations around the country;
(iii)  HUD  may  refuse  to  accept  the certifications of environmental compli- ance on subsequent grants;
(iv)  HUD  may  suspend  or  terminate the  responsible  entity’s  assumption  of the    environmental    review    
responsi- bility;
(v)  HUD  may  initiate  sanctions,  cor- rective actions, or other remedies spec- ified  in  program  regulations  or  
agree- ments  or  contracts  with  the  recipient.
(2)  HUD’s  responsibilities  and  action under  paragraph  (d)(1)  of  this  section shall  not  be  construed  to  
limit  or  re- duce  any  responsibility  assumed  by  a responsible  entity  with  respect  to  any particular  
release  of  funds  under  this part. Whether or not HUD takes action under  paragraph  (d)(1)  of  this  section, the  
Certifying  Officer  remains  the  re- sponsible  Federal  official  under  § 58.13 with  respect  to  projects  and  
activities for   which   the   Certifying   Officer   has submitted   a   certification   under   this part.
