1. 1) A sponsor shall notify the Agency and all members of the stakeholder group of any nonperformance of a term or condition of an EMSA. A notification under this subsection (d) shall include a description of any activity performed by the sponsor to cure or mitigate the effects of the nonperformance.
2. 2) The Agency shall investigate and monitor a sponsor to determine whether the sponsor has responded adequately to any nonperformance, and shall notify all members of the stakeholder group of the results of its investigation.
e) Upon identification of nonperformance of the terms or conditions of an EMSA, the Agency may, consistent with this Part, enforce the terms of such EMSA.
