(b) Notification of compliance review findings. Within 45 business days of completing an EEO compliance review, the Registration Agency must present a written Notice of Compliance Review Findings to the sponsor's contact person through registered or certified mail, with return receipt requested. If the compliance review indicates a failure to comply with this part, the registration agency will so inform the sponsor in the Notice and will set forth in the Notice the following:

1. (1) The deficiency(ies) identified;
2. (2) How to remedy the deficiency(ies);
3. (3) The timeframe within which the deficiency(ies) must be corrected; and
4. (4) Enforcement actions may be undertaken if compliance is not achieved within the required timeframe.

(c) Compliance.

1. (1) When a sponsor receives a Notice of Compliance Review Findings that indicates a failure to comply with this part, the sponsor must, within 30 business days of notification, either implement a compliance action plan and notify the Registration Agency of that plan or submit a written rebuttal to the Findings. Sponsors may also seek to extend this deadline one time by up to 30 days for good cause shown. If the Registration Agency upholds the Notice after receiving a written response, the sponsor must implement a compliance action plan within 30 days of receiving the notice from the Registration Agency upholding its Findings. The compliance action plan must include, but is not limited to, the following provisions:

   1. (i) A specific commitment, in writing, to correct or remediate identified deficiency(ies) and area(s) of noncompliance;
   2. (ii) The precise actions to be taken for each deficiency identified;
   3. (iii) The time period within which the cited deficiency(ies) will be remedied and any corrective program changes implemented; and
   4. (iv) The name of the individual(s) responsible for correcting each deficiency identified.
2. (2) Upon the Registration Agency's approval of the compliance action plan, the sponsor may be considered in compliance with this part provided that the compliance action plan is implemented.
