# §1226.11. Obligations of sponsors.

- (a) It shall be the obligation of program sponsors to ensure that they:
  - (1) Fully understand the restrictions on volunteer activity set forth herein;
  - (2) Provide training to volunteers on the restrictions and ensure that all other training materials used in training volunteers are fully consistent with these restrictions;
  - (3) Monitor on a continuing basis the activity of volunteers for compliance with this provision;
  - (4) **Report all violations, or questionable situations, immediately to the State Director.**
- (b) Failure of a sponsor to meet the requirements set forth in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, or a violation of the rules contained herein by either the sponsor, the sponsor's employees subject to [§ 1226.12](/cfr/45/1226.12.md) or the volunteers assigned to the sponsor, at any time during the course of the grant may be deemed to be a material failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the grant as that term is used in [45 CFR 1206.1](/cfr/45/1206.1.md) regarding suspension and termination of assistance or a violation of the Project Memorandum of Agreement, as applicable. The sponsor shall be subject to the procedures and penalties contained in [45 CFR 1206.1](/cfr/45/1206.1.md).
- (c) Violation by a volunteer of any of the rules and regulations set forth herein may be cause for suspension or termination as set forth in [45 CFR 1213.5-5(2)](/cfr/45/1213.5-5.md?p=2) or other disciplinary action.
