### Regulations to Amend the Civil **Procedures**

**AGENCY** 

### : Office of General Counsel (OGC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

**ACTION** 

### : Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY** 

### : This rule amends the procedures governing NOAA’s administrative proceedings for the assessment of civil penalties; suspension, revocation, modification, or denial of permits; issuance and use of written warnings; and release or forfeiture of seized property. The principal change removes the requirement that an Administrative Law Judge state good reason(s) for departing from the civil penalty or permit sanction assessed by NOAA in its charging document. This revision eliminates any presumption in favor of the civil penalty or permit sanction assessed by NOAA. The other change corrects a clerical error in a citation to rules pertaining to protective orders issued by Administrative Law Judges.

**DATES** 

### : Written comments on this proposed rule must be submitted by April 16, 2010.
