PART 66 - ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF NONCOMPLIANCE PENALTIES BY EPA--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart B - Notice of Noncompliance
 
Sec. 66.13  Duties of source owner or operator upon receipt of a notice of noncompliance.

    (a) Within forty-five days after receiving a notice of noncompliance 
a source owner or operator shall either:
    (1) Calculate the amount of the penalty owed and the appropriate 
quarterly payment schedule, as provided in the Technical Support 
Document and Instruction Manual, and transmit that calculation, together 
with supporting data sufficient to allow verification of the penalty 
calculation, to the Administrator; or
    (2) Submit a petition for reconsideration, alleging that the source 
is not in violation of applicable legal requirements or that the source 
owner or operator is entitled to an exemption pursuant to 
Sec.Sec. 66.31 through 66.33, or both. A source 
owner or operator must present both grounds in the petition if he wishes 
to preserve a claim to an exemption in the event that the source is 
found to be in violation. Issues relating to the existence of a 
violation or entitlement to an exemption not raised in the petition 
shall be deemed waived.
    (b) Any submittal pursuant to this subsection shall specify the 
identity of the person responsible for the payment of any noncompliance 
penalty, and to whom any reimbursement, if necessary, shall be sent.
    (c) A source owner or operator may amend any petition for 
reconsideration pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section within 45 days 
from receipt of a notice of noncompliance. Amendment of such petition 
after 45 days will be permitted only if based on unforeseeable 
conditions occurring after termination of the 45 day period, or upon 
consent of the Administrator.
