(b) If the department or the corporation determines that the project or the recipient is not in compliance with Federal or State laws or the terms of the applicable PFA, and following written notice to the recipient, the project or recipient is not brought into compliance, the corporation may:

(1) withdraw the interest rate subsidy, recoup any other benefit provided to the recipient, or reduce any future interest rate subsidy or such other benefit, or reduce any future interest rate subsidy or such other benefit for future CWSRF assistance;

(2) refuse to approve CWSRF disbursement requests; and

(3) refuse execution of subsequent PFAs until the project or recipient is brought into compliance.
