EPA’s Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction and Prevention of Violations Final Policy Statement (“Audit Policy”), 65 Fed. Reg. 19, 618 (April 11, 2000), substantially reduces, and in some cases eliminates, penalties for violations voluntarily discovered, disclosed and promptly corrected by a company. For instance, if a company voluntarily discovers it should have filed a TRI report for the previous year, but did not, the company may then disclose this in writing to the appropriate Agency Enforcement staff for consideration under the Audit Policy. Incentives under the Policy include: gravity-based penalties may be reduced or eliminated, criminal prosecution will generally not be recommended, and EPA will generally not request routine audit reports. For the voluntary disclosure and correction of violations that do not fall within the Audit Policy (e.g., which are not disclosed to EPA within 21 days of the facility’s discovery of the violation), EPA’s penalty policies provide for the downward adjustment of penalties based on the cooperation of the disclosing facility. The policy excludes repeat violations, violations that result in serious actual harm, or violations that may present an imminent and substantial endangerment.
