# 1471.455 What may I do if a lower tier participant fails to disclose the information required under § 1471.355 to the next higher tier?

If you as an agency official determine that a lower tier participant failed to disclose information, as required by § 1471.355, at the time it entered into a covered transaction with a participant at the next higher tier, you may pursue any remedies available to you, including the initiation of a suspension or debarment action.
