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.
