  - (4) Be sent within ten calendar days after you learn of the conviction; and
  - (5) **Be sent to every Federal agency on whose award the convicted employee was working.** It must be sent to every awarding official or his or her official designee, unless the Federal agency has specified a central point for the receipt of the notices.
- (b) Within 30 calendar days of learning about an employee's conviction, you must either—
  - (1) Take appropriate personnel action against the employee, up to and including termination, consistent with the requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ([29 U.S.C. 794](/usc/29/794.md)), as amended; or
