U.S. Code as of:
01/03/05
Section 3410. Enforcement of orders and regulations
(a) Jurisdiction; reference of civil actions to Attorney General
The several district courts of the United States are vested with
jurisdiction specifically to enforce, and to prevent and restrain
any person from violating any order or regulation made or issued
pursuant to this chapter. Any civil action authorized to be brought
under this chapter shall be referred to the Attorney General for
appropriate action: Provided, That nothing in this chapter shall be
construed as requiring the Secretary to refer to the Attorney
General minor violations of this chapter whenever the Secretary
believes that the administration and enforcement of the program
would be adequately served by suitable written notice or warning to
any person committing such violation.
(b) Penalties
Any end product manufacturer or other person who willfully
violates any provision of any order issued by the Secretary under
this chapter, or who willfully fails or refuses to remit any
assessment or fee duly required thereunder, shall be liable to a
penalty of not more than $1,000 for each such offense which shall
accrue to the United States and may be recovered in a civil suit
brought by the United States.
(c) Other remedies
The remedies provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this section
shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, the remedies
otherwise provided at law or in equity.
