ENFORCEMENT APPEALS:

Appeals from initial decisions in an administrative enforcement matter are governed by 40 C.F.R. part 22.
40 C.F.R. part 22 was recently revised to encompass the assessment of civil penalties under the air pollution control provisions of the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships (33 U.S.C. § 1908(b)). The new rule also revised the address for the Environmental Appeals Board to reflect its relocation to the William Jefferson Clinton East Building. See 40 § 22.5(a); 79 Fed. Reg. 65,897 (Nov. 6, 2014).
