Summary

It outlines specific requirements for recipients, such as publishing drug-free workplace statements, establishing awareness programs, and reporting employee drug convictions, as well as the responsibilities of federal agency officials in enforcing these requirements. Violations can lead to actions like suspension or termination of awards, and potential debarment from federal contracts, with exceptions possible if deemed in the public interest by the agency head.
