Sec. 66.51  Action upon receipt of penalty calculation.


    (a) Within thirty days after receipt of a penalty calculation 
provided pursuant to Sec. 66.13(a)(1) or Sec. 66.43, the Administrator 
shall notify the source owner or operator in writing, that:
    (1) The penalty is provisionally accepted as calculated, subject to 
any recalculation that may be necessary under Sec. 66.72 after the 
source has achieved compliance; or
    (2) The penalty is incorrect and has been recalculated based on the 
data provided by the source owner or operator, or other data. The 
Administrator shall provide a brief statement of the basis for the 
recalculation and shall identify when and where any supporting data may 
be examined. The Administrator shall also notify the source

owner or operator of the right to petition for a hearing under Sec. 
66.52; or
    (3) The source owner or operator has not submitted any calculation, 
or the information submitted is inadequate to enable EPA to verify the 
owner or operator's penalty calculation. The Administrator shall specify 
what deficiencies exist and request the source owner or operator to 
supplement his submission within thirty days of receipt of that request. 
If an inadequate supplemental submission is made within this time, EPA 
may calculate the penalty itself or as provided in Sec. 66.22.
    (b) Supplemental material provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section shall be evaluated as provided in paragraph (a).
