SEC. 4. NONCOMPLIANCE.

    (a) First Violation.--If a manufacturer of a tobacco product 
violates a performance standard, the manufacturer shall pay a 
noncompliance fee of $1 for each unit of its tobacco product which is 
distributed for consumer use in the year following the year in which 
the performance standard is violated.
    (b) Fee Increase for Subsequent Violations.--If a manufacturer

more than 90 percent of the reduction in the number of children who use 
its tobacco products that is required under the applicable performance 
standard, the noncompliance fee required to be paid by the manufacturer 
shall be reduced on a pro rata basis such that there shall be a 
noncompliance fee reduction of 10 percent for each percentage point 
over 90 percent achieved by the manufacturer.

    A manufacturer of tobacco products may seek judicial review of any 
action under this Act only after a noncompliance fee has been assessed 
and paid by the manufacturer and only in the United States District 
Court for the District of Columbia. In an action by a manufacturer 
seeking judicial review of an annual performance survey, the 
manufacturer may prevail--
            (1) only if the manufacturer shows that the results of the 
        performance survey were arbitrary and capricious; and
            (2) only to the extent that the manufacturer shows that it 
        would have been required to pay a lesser noncompliance fee if 
        the results of the performance survey were not arbitrary and 
        capricious.
