### §1462. Civil penalties

#### (a) Assessment of penalty

Any person subject to section 1461 of this title who is found by the Administrator, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing in accordance with section 554 of title 5, to have committed any act prohibited by section 1461 of this title shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty. The amount of the civil penalty shall not exceed $25,000 for each violation. Each day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate offense. The amount of such civil penalty shall be assessed by the Administrator by written notice. In determining the amount of such penalty, the Administrator shall take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the prohibited act committed and, with respect to the violator, any history of prior offenses, good faith demonstrated in attempting to achieve timely compliance after being cited for the violation, and such other matters as justice may require.

#### (b) Review of civil penalty

Any person subject to section 1461 of this title against whom a civil penalty is assessed under subsection (a) of this section may obtain review thereof in an appropriate district court of the United States by filing a notice of appeal in such court within 30 days from the date of such order and by simultaneously sending a copy of such notice by certified mail to the Administrator. The Administrator shall promptly file in such court a certified copy of the record upon which the particular violation was found and such penalty was imposed, as provided in section 2112 of title 28. The findings and order of the Administrator shall be set aside by such court if they are not found to be supported by substantial evidence, as provided in section 706(2)(E) of title 5.

#### (c) Action upon failure to pay assessment

If any person subject to section 1461 of this title fails to pay a civil penalty assessed against such person after the penalty has become final, or after the appropriate court has entered final judgment in favor of the Administrator, the Administrator shall refer the matter to the Attorney General of the United States, who shall recover the civil penalty assessed in any appropriate district court of the United States. In such action, the validity and appropriateness of the final order imposing the civil penalty shall not be subject to review.

#### (d) Compromise or other action by the Administrator

The Administrator may compromise, modify, or remit, with or without conditions, any civil penalty which is subject to imposition or which has been imposed under this section unless an action brought under subsection (b) or (c) of this section is pending in a court of the United States.

(Pub. L. 96–283, title III, §302, June 28, 1980, 94 Stat. 577.)

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Conclusion of 41st CCAMLR Meeting

# 									Conclusion of 41st CCAMLR Meeting							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

November 4, 2022

At the conclusion of the 41st meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), the United States underscores its commitment to conserving Antarctic marine living resources.

We welcome CCAMLR’s many important achievements over the past four decades, including substantially decreasing illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing in the Convention Area, significantly reducing mortality of seabirds during fishing, and adopting an impressive suite of conservation measures to conserve unique marine ecosystems and to ensure fisheries are sustainably managed. CCAMLR is also responding to the increasing impacts of climate change on the Convention Area and the marine living resources and ecosystems within it.

These achievements underscore the ongoing need for this unique international organization. CCAMLR, members have demonstrated they can cooperate to conserve Antarctic marine living resources effectively.

It is in this context that we express our serious concern with the approach of the Russian Federation to the discussions at this meeting. As an original signatory of the CAMLR Convention, Russia has committed to utilizing the best available scientific evidence to conserve Antarctic marine living resources.

However, Russia has repeatedly ignored scientific information provided to inform key management decisions to achieve political objectives. These decisions relate to a range of important issues such as climate change, Marine Protected Areas, Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem protections, and fisheries management and research.

Russia’s repeated rejection of the best available scientific information amounts to an abuse of its commitment to participate in consensus-based decision-making. Russia’s actions undermine the integrity of CCAMLR’s decision-making processes and our collective ability and responsibility to achieve the objective of the Convention.

We call on Russia to return to respecting the imperative of science-based decision-making and the ecosystem approach, which underpin CCAMLR’s work. We also call on Russia to respect the rules-based international order, end its war of aggression, and fully withdraw from the sovereign territory of Ukraine.

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Counselor Chollet and Assistant Secretary Leaf’s Travel to Israel and Jordan

# 									Counselor Chollet and Assistant Secretary Leaf’s Travel to Israel and Jordan							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

January 4, 2024

Counselor of the Department of State Derek Chollet is traveling today to Israel and Jordan, joined by Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf.  The Counselor and the Assistant Secretary will engage with leaders to reaffirm the United States’ strong support for Israel’s security and the U.S. commitment to preventing the Israel-Hamas conflict from spreading.  They will underscore the importance of facilitating the release of all remaining hostages, increasing humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians in Gaza, and taking all measures to protect civilians.  They will also reiterate the importance of holding extremist settlers accountable for attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank and reemphasize the responsibility of all parties to help chart a path forward for Gaza that achieves lasting security for both Israelis and Palestinians, building on the principles laid out in Tokyo on November 8, and including a sustained mechanism for reconstruction and Palestinian-led governance of a unified West Bank and Gaza.

Following meetings in Israel and Jordan, the Counselor and the Assistant Secretary will join Secretary Blinken for additional meetings in the region.

Any permit, lease, occupation, or use permitted under this chapter shall reserve to the Secretary of the Interior the right to permit upon such terms as he may determine to be just, for joint or several use, such easements or rights-of-way, including easements in tunnels upon, through, or in the lands leased, occupied, or used as may be necessary or appropriate to the working of the same, or of other lands containing the deposits described in this chapter, and the treatment and shipment of the products thereof by or under authority of the Government, its lessees, or permittees, and for other public purposes. The Secretary of the Interior, in his discretion, in making any lease under this chapter, may reserve to the United States the right to lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of the surface of the lands embraced within such lease under existing law or laws hereafter enacted, insofar as said surface is not necessary for use of the lessee in extracting and removing the deposits therein. If such reservation is made it shall be so determined before the offering of such lease. The said Secretary, during the life of the lease, is authorized to issue such permits for easements herein provided to be reserved.

In the petition, Mr. Li ndsey claims that he has not received a probable cause hearing and, thus, should be “rel eased back into the community.” Id . at 1-2. In response to the Court’s show cause order, the Commission contends that the petition should be summarily denied because, among other reasons, petitioner was convicted in Alexandria, Virginia, of a crime committed while on supervised release a nd, thus, is not entitle d to a probable cause

#### Vicki B. LEE; Darrell E. Lee, Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. State of OREGON, by and through the OREGON RACING COMMISSION, an administrative agency, Defendant, and Stephen S. Walters; Brad Higbee; Joanne Mcadam; George Rankin; Richard Reid; Laura Fine, Defendants-Appellants.

No. 99-36088.

D.C. No. CV-95-00274-ST.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Argued and Submitted Sept. 14, 2000.

Decided Feb. 22, 2001.

*491Before KOZINSKI and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges, and SCHWARZER,* District Judge.

*

 The Honorable William W Schwarzer, Senior United States District Judge for the Northern District of California, sitting by designation.

MEMORANDUM **

The members of the Oregon Racing Commission (ORC) are not absolutely immune from damages for barring the Lees from horse racing meets in Oregon. Absolute quasi-judicial immunity is a limited exemption that applies only to the “judicial acts” of agency officials. *See Butz v. Economou,*438 U.S. 478, 507, 514, 98 S.Ct. 2894, 57 L.Ed.2d 895 (1978); *Richardson v. Koshiba,*693 F.2d 911, 913-14 (9th Cir. 1982). The ORC members issued a summary exclusion order, without notice or a hearing, that was designed to enforce regulations that the members themselves had promulgated. *See Zamsky v. Hansell,*933 F.2d 677, 679 (9th Cir.1991) (per curiam). The issuance of the order was neither an integral part of the judicial process nor functionally analogous to a judicial act. *See Butz,*438 U.S. at 511-14, 98 S.Ct. 2894. Far from it.

That Oregon Revised Statute § 462.080 permitted the Lees to request a hearing after the order was issued does not change the nature of the act. The ORC members “acted unilaterally,” and the order was effective upon issuance. *Meyers v. Contra Costa County Dep’t of Soc. Servs.,*812 F.2d 1154, 1157 (9th Cir.1987); *see also Howard v. Suskie,*26 F.3d 84, 86 (8th Cir.1994). The ORC members have therefore failed to show that they were engaged in “the function of resolving a dispute between parties or ... authoritatively adjudicating private rights” and are not entitled to absolute quasi-judicial immunity. *Burns v. Reed,*500 U.S. 478, 500, 111 S.Ct. 1934, 114 L.Ed.2d 547 (1991) (Scalia, J., concurring in judgment in part and dissenting in part).

AFFIRMED.
