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.
