                   Subpart D_Compliance and Settlement
 
Sec. 71.38  Limitation on informal settlement.

    Where the evidence is conclusive and the nature of the violation is 
such as to preclude any settlement short of suspension, revocation or 
annulment, or the violation is of a continuing character that 
necessitates immediate action to protect the public interest, or where 
the director of industry operations believes that any informal 
settlement of the alleged violation will not insure future compliance 
with the laws and regulations, or in any similar case where the 
circumstances are such as to clearly preclude informal settlement, and 
the director of industry operations so finds and states his reasons 
therefor as provided in Sec. 71.35, he may restrict settlement to that 
provided in Sec. 71.71.
