after reasonable notice and opportunity for
hearing to the Commonwealth, or upon
request of the Governor of the
Commonwealth, may terminate or suspend

required to protect public health and safety,
or (2) the Commonwealth has not complied
with one or more of the requirements of
Section 274 of the Act. The Commission may

taken by the Commonwealth under this
Agreement to ensure compliance with
Section 274 of the Act which requires a
Commonwealth program to be adequate to
