Section 172.110  Disciplinary Actions Related to Contractor Notice of Violations (CNOV)

a)         Disciplinary actions result from the issuance of a CNOV. The CNOV is issued by an STSS and copies are provided in the field to the contractor and forwarded to DPCS.  DPCS will review the CNOV for completeness before penalty review and the contractor receiving the CNOV will be notified within 15 days, if the CNOV is moving forward for penalty assessment.

b)         CNOVs fall into one of 3 penalty categories:

1)         Administrative violations are minor when taken individually, but have a major impact when recurring within 2 years.

2)         Quality control violations have significant potential impact on the environment and/or public safety.

3)         Safety violations are of such a grave nature as to result in the immediate suspension of contractor activity in the module within which the contractor received the CNOV.

c)         Revocation or suspension of licenses will apply only to the modules for which the CNOV was written.
