PA EPA SEEKS COMMENTS ON PROPOSED RULE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CIVIL PENALTIES

FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1998

EPA SEEKS COMMENTS ON PROPOSED RULE
FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CIVIL PENALTIES

EPA is seeking comments on proposed technical revisions to the Consolidated Rules of Practice Governing the Administrative Assessment of Civil Penalties. The proposed changes, which were published in the Federal Register Wednesday, Feb. 25, will benefit the regulated community by eliminating inconsistencies and uncertainties in administrative enforcement proceedings without compromising rights to a fair and impartial hearing. The revisions also include better, easy-to-understand language and provide a more efficient resolution process. The proposed rule is available on the Internet at: http://www.epa.gov/oeca/regstat2.html or by visiting EPA’s Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center in the Ariel Rios Building, Room 4033, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Three copies of your comments must be submitted by April 27, to the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center (2201A), Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, 401 M St. S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460. Comments may also be submitted electronically to crop-comments@epamail.epa.gov.
