Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/28: CIA-RDP90M00005R001300090003-1
14 day period, the granting or contracting agency receives notice from
the contractor or grantee of a request for an agency hearing to
determine whether such contractor or grantee was at the time of said
conviction or is at the time of hearing in compliance with the
requirement of this section. Upon such request for hearing, the
granting or contracting agency shall conduct the requested hearing

workplace by compliance with this section or through other workplace
policy, such conviction for unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensation, or possession of a controlled substance in the
workplace, shall be considered substantial evidence that the employer
is taking sufficient action to maintain a drug-free workplace and

grantee may request a reconsideration of such determination based upon
the contractor's or grantee's previous or subsequent efforts to comply
within the 14 day and 5 day time periods contained within paragraphs
(3)(B) and (4) respectively.

head of the granting or contracting agencies involved determines, in
his or her discretion, that withholding payments due under a grant or
contract, or not issuing such a grant or not awarding such a contract
authorized under this Act, as the case may be, would severely disrupt
the operation of such entity to the detriment of the Federal
Government or the general public.
