(a) Compliance order or civil action
In addition to remedies available under other applicable
provisions of law, whenever any Federal officer or agency
determines that any person is in violation of any applicable
provision of law administered or enforceable by such officer or
agency or any rule, regulation, or order under such provision,
including any term or condition of any certificate, right-of-way,
permit, lease, or other authorization, issued or granted by such
officer or agency, such officer or agency may -
(1) issue a compliance order requiring such person to comply
with such provision or any rule, regulation, or order thereunder,
or
(2) bring a civil action in accordance with subsection (c) of
this section.
(b) Specificity of compliance order
Any order issued under subsection (a) of this section shall state
with reasonable specificity the nature of the violation and a time
of compliance, not to exceed 30 days, which the officer or agency,
as the case may be, determines is reasonable, taking into account
the seriousness of the violation and any good faith efforts to
comply with applicable requirements.
(c) Appropriate relief and jurisdiction of civil action
Upon a request of such officer or agency, as the case may be, the
Attorney General may commence a civil action for appropriate
relief, including a permanent or temporary injunction or a civil
penalty not to exceed $25,000 per day for violations of the
compliance order issued under subsection (a) of this section. Any
action under this subsection may be brought in any district court
of the United States for the district in which the defendant is
located, resides, or is doing business, and such court shall have
jurisdiction to restrain such violation, require compliance, or
impose such penalty or give ancillary relief.
