Pages : 45
Book Description
One of the ways that federal regulatory agencies enforce applicable statutes and regulations is through the imposition of civil monetary penalties for violations of those statutes and regulations. The amounts of the penalties imposed can vary substantially, depending on the limits specified in the applicable statutes or regulations and the degree to which the agencies impose the maximum fines permitted. In 1996, Congress passed the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 note), which was intended to, among other things, create a more cooperative regulatory environment among agencies and small businesses that is less punitive and more solution-oriented. Section 223 of SBREFA, entitled Rights of Small Entities in Enforcement Actions, requires agencies to provide small entities (a small business, a small government, or a small organization) with some form of relief from civil monetary penalties. Specifically, subsection 223(a) of SBREFA required federal agencies regulating the activities of small entities to establish a policy or program by March 29, 1997, for the reduction and, under appropriate circumstances, the waiver of civil penalties by small entities. Subsection 223(c) of the act required agencies to submit a one-time report to four congressional committees by March 29, 1998, on the scope of their programs or policies, the number of enforcement actions against small entities that qualified or failed to qualify for the SBREFA program or policy, and the total amount of penalty reductions and waivers. You asked us to examine the implementation of section 223 of SBREFA and issues related to civil penalty enforcement in selected agencies.

Notice of Violation (NOV) User's Guide

Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
07 October 2019 The Notice of Violation (NOV) program was implemented in 1995 to address the Coast Guard's concern that the civil penalty assessment process was too lengthy when applied to small oil discharges under 100 gallons and minor pollution prevention regulation violations (33 CFR parts 154, 155, and 156). The process time meant that a party frequently would have additional violations before being notified of an initial violation. Early resolution of these minor violations saved time and reduced costs of internal reviews, improved compliance and deterrence, and facilitated corrective action by providing more immediate notice to the charged party. Because of the success of the initial limited NOV program, it was expanded in 2004 to include oil spills of 1,000 gallons or less and to include violations of other laws and regulations that the Coast Guard enforces. Since its inception, the NOV program modified the civil penalty process by creating a regulation, 33 CFR 1.07- 11, that allowed for immediate notification to the responsible party of the alleged violation(s).
