Sec. 171.22  Decisions effective for limited time.

    A decision to mitigate a penalty or to remit a forfeiture upon 
condition that a stated amount is paid will be effective for not more 
than 60 days from the date of notice to the petitioner of such decision 
unless the decision itself prescribes a different effective period. If 
payment of the stated amount or arrangements for such payment are not 
made, or a supplemental petition is not filed in accordance with 
regulation, the full penalty or claim for forfeiture will be deemed 
applicable and will be enforced by promptly referring the matter, after 
required collection action, if appropriate, to the appropriate Office of 
the Chief Counsel for preparation for referral to the Department of 
Justice unless other action has been directed by the Commissioner of 
Customs.
