Based on 49 CFR 107.307, when the Associate Administrator and the Office of Chief Counsel have reason to believe that a person is knowingly engaging or has knowingly engaged in a violation of federal hazardous material transportation law, applicable subchapters, exemptions, special permits, or orders, they may take the following actions:
1. Issue a warning letter.
2. Initiate proceedings to assess a civil penalty.
3. Issue an order directing compliance (regardless of whether a warning letter was issued or a civil penalty was assessed).
4. Seek any other remedy available under the Federal hazardous material transportation law.
Additionally, under 49 CFR 107.307, if a proceeding is initiated for failing to comply with an exemption or special permit, alleging a violation of its terms or conditions is treated as an allegation that the party failed to comply with the underlying regulations from which the special permit granted relief.
