§ 17.993. TRAINING FOR OPERATING ENTITIES.  (a) The 
commission or the board may evaluate whether an operating entity 
needs training if the operating entity:

the project plan or budget;
		(2)  requests more time to meet its obligations under a 
repayment schedule; 
		(3)  does not provide required documentation;  or                             
		(4)  has a history of compliance problems, as 
determined by the commission. 
	(b)  The board or the commission may determine that training 
is necessary if, after an examination and evaluation of the 
operating entity's managerial, financial, and technical 
capabilities, the board or commission finds that the operating 
entity's managerial, financial, or technical capabilities are 
inadequate to ensure the project will meet program requirements or 
remain financially viable.
	(c)  The commission by rule shall establish a preenforcement 
threshold of noncompliance at which the commission may notify the 
board that an operating entity needs training.
	(d)  If the commission assesses a penalty against an 
operating entity in an enforcement action, the enforcement order 
must contain a provision requiring that the operating entity 
receive training as ordered by the board.  The commission shall 
notify the board when the commission assesses a penalty against an 
operating entity.
