§  1.1216   Sanctions.

   (a) Parties. Upon notice and hearing, any party to a proceeding who
   directly or indirectly violates or causes the violation of any
   provision of this subpart, or who fails to report the facts and
   circumstances concerning any such violation as required by this
   subpart, may be subject to sanctions as provided in paragraph (d) of
   this section, or disqualified from further participation in that
   proceeding. In proceedings other than a rulemaking, a party who has
   violated or caused the violation of any provision of this subpart may
   be required to show cause why his or her claim or interest in the
   proceeding should not be dismissed, denied, disregarded, or otherwise
   adversely affected. In any proceeding, such alternative or additional
   sanctions as may be appropriate may also be imposed.

   (b) Commission personnel. Commission personnel who violate provisions
   of this subpart may be subject to appropriate disciplinary or other
   remedial action as provided in part 19 of this chapter.

   (c) Other persons. Such sanctions as may be appropriate under the
   circumstances shall be imposed upon other persons who violate the
   provisions of this subpart.

   (d) Penalties. A party who has violated or caused the violation of any
   provision of this subpart may be subject to admonishment, monetary
   forfeiture, or to having his or her claim or interest in the proceeding
   dismissed, denied, disregarded, or otherwise adversely affected. In any
   proceeding, such alternative or additional sanctions as may be
   appropriate also may be imposed. Upon referral from the General Counsel
   following a finding of an ex parte violation pursuant to § 0.251(g) of
   this chapter, the Enforcement Bureau shall have delegated authority to
   impose sanctions in such matters pursuant to § 0.111(a)(15) of this
   chapter.
