    (b) Prior to taking any of the enforcement actions in paragraph (a) 
of this section, the Commission will give notice of its intent to take 
the specified action and the grounds therefor, and afford a 30-day

interest so requires, the Commission may temporarily suspend a 
certification pending completion of these procedures. Responses must be 
forwarded to the Accounting Authority Certification Officer. See 
Sec. 3.61.
