Proceedings in Case of Violation

§ 160.95 Proceedings prior to reporting violations of the act.

Whenever it shall appear to the Administrator that any violation of the act should be reported to the United States Department of Justice for appropriate action, he shall serve notice in writing upon the person apparently responsible for the alleged violation and shall give such person an opportunity to show in duplicate to the Administrator within 20 days after the receipt of such notice why the alleged violation should not be reported to the Department of Justice. The person so notified may within the period stated apply for an opportunity to present his views in person, or by his attorney. If the Administrator deems the request appropriate he will designate a time and place for hearing the applicant.

§ 160.96 Report of violations for prosecution.

In the event of failure of the person notified of an apparent violation of the act to submit to the Administrator a written answer as provided in § 160.95, or if, after such person has filed his answer or in addition, been given an opportunity to present his views orally, no sufficient reason has been shown why the alleged violation should not be reported for prosecution, the General Counsel of the Department, acting for and on behalf of the Administrator, shall report the alleged violation to the Department of Justice for appropriate action.

§ 160.97 Publication.

Composite data regarding inspections, analyses, classifications, and grading of naval stores made under any provision of the act or the provisions in this part may be published from time to time in such mediums as the Administrator may designate for the purpose.
