A contractor receives a formal citation, pays the civil penalty, and corrects the violation. Regarding the public record, the citation:

Explanation

§7124.6(e)(1)(A) is precise about both ends: a citation is disclosed from the date of issuance and for five years after the date of compliance — so paying the penalty and correcting the violation starts the five years running rather than ending the disclosure, which is (a)'s mistake. The same paragraph adds a condition worth knowing: if further disciplinary action is filed against the licensee during those five years, all of the disciplinary actions stay posted for as long as the most recent one is disclosable, so a second citation extends the first. §7124.6(e)(1)(B) also puts the disclosure onto the record of any other licence that shares a qualifier listed among its personnel of record. (b) is simply wrong, because §7124.6(d) publishes the date, nature and disposition of all legal actions. (d) errs in the other direction: the section ends disclosure at the close of the stated period, and it gives accusations that ended in suspension, stayed suspension or stayed revocation a seven-year window under §7124.6(e)(2). The short version is the letter of admonishment, disclosed for one or two years under §7124.6(c)(2).
