TURBOFAC Commentary (100 words)

Notes:

Provision common to all IEEPA-based sanctions regulations, with the exception of certain abbreviated sets of regulations. Actions of this sort are extremely uncommon, generally because the overwhelming proportion of civil penalties are assessed only against corporations in the context of negotiated settlements. For a judicial opinion arising out of a collection action, see Office of Foreign Assets Control v. Voices in Wilderness, 329 F. Supp. 2d 71 (D.D.C. 2004).

Versions of the provision from prior to 2005 state that collection action may begin within "30 days of the date of mailing of the penalty notice." Refer to 501.709.
