We must give you opportunity for consultation and remedial action before we reduce or terminate a grant.

Upon termination, you must refund to us that remaining portion of the grant money not encumbered. However, you may retain any portion of the grant that is required to meet contractual commitments made before the effective date of termination.
(e)
You must not make any new commitments of grant funds after receiving notification of our intent to terminate the grant without our approval.
