Administrative sanctions are non-criminal penalties imposed by authorities for violations of rules or regulations. Examples of administrative sanctions include:

• Fines imposed for breaches of administrative regulations.
• Revocation or suspension of licenses, permits, or certifications.
• Suspension without pay.
• Revocation of security eligibility.
• Orders such as cease and desist or corrective actions.
• Blacklisting or disqualification from government programs or contracts.
• Other restrictions or penalties limiting a person’s or entity's ability to operate or do business with an agency.

Incarceration is not an administrative sanction; it is a criminal penalty. Thus, among common options if given, administrative sanctions typically include fines, revocation of security eligibility, and suspension without pay, but not incarceration.
