§ 291.34 Criminal penalties. 

(a) A person who knowingly violates 

or counsels, procures, solicits, or 

employs another person to violate 

§ 291.27 shall, upon conviction, be fined 

in accordance with Title 18, United 

States Code, or imprisoned not more 

than 5 years, or both; but if the sum of 

the commercial and paleontological 

value of the paleontological resources 

involved and the cost of restoration and 

repair of such resources does not exceed 

$500, such person shall be fined in 

accordance with Title 18, United States 

Code, or imprisoned not more than 2 

years, or both. 

(b) Paleontological and commercial 

values and the cost of restoration and 

repair are determined under §§ 291.37 

through 39 of this Part. 

§ 291.35 Multiple offenses. 

In the case of subsequent or repeat 

violations by the same person, the 

amount of the monetary penalty 

assessed may be doubled. 

§ 291.36 General exception. 

The provisions in §§ 291.28 through 

35 do not apply to any person with 

respect to any paleontological resource 

which was in the lawful possession of 

such person prior to the date of 

enactment of the Act. 

§ 291.37 Scientific or paleontological 

value. 

The scientific value of any 

paleontological resource involved in a 

violation of the prohibitions contained 

in this Part or conditions of a permit 

issued pursuant to this Part shall be the 

value of the information associated with 

the paleontological resource. The term 

‘‘scientific value’’ can be used 

interchangeably with the term 

‘‘paleontological value.’’ This value 

shall be determined in terms of the costs 

of the retrieval of the scientific and 

educational information which would 

have been obtainable prior to the 

violation. These costs may include, but 

need not be limited to, the cost of 

preparing a research design, conducting 

field work, carrying out laboratory 

analysis, and preparing reports or 

educational materials or displays as 

would be necessary to realize the 

information potential. 

§ 291.38 Fair market or commercial value. 

The fair market value of any 

paleontological resource involved in a 

violation of the prohibitions contained 

in this Part or conditions of a permit 

issued pursuant to this Part shall be the 

commercial value of the resources, 

determined using the condition of the 

paleontological resource prior to the 

violation, to the extent that its prior 

condition can be ascertained. The term 

‘‘fair market value’’ can be used 

interchangeably with the term 

‘‘commercial value.’’ Fair market value 

of paleontological resources can be 

established through the use of 

comparable sales or pricing information, 

advertisements for comparable 

resources, appraisals, or other 

information on legal or illegal markets. 

§ 291.39 Cost of response, restoration, 

and repair. 

The cost of response, restoration, and 

repair of paleontological resources 

involved in a violation of prohibitions 

contained in this Part or conditions of 

a permit issued pursuant to this Part, 

shall be the sum of the costs incurred 

for response, investigation, assessment, 

emergency restoration, or repair work, 

plus those costs projected to be 

necessary to complete restoration and 

repair, which may include but need not 

be limited to the costs of: 

(a) Reconstruction of the 

paleontological resource; 

(b) Stabilization and/or salvage of the 

paleontological resource; 

(c) Ground contour reconstruction 

and surface stabilization; 

(d) Research necessary to carry out 

reconstruction or stabilization; 

(e) Physical barriers or other 

protective devices or signs, necessitated 

by the disturbance of the 

paleontological resource, to protect it 

from further disturbance; 

(f) Examination and analysis of the 

paleontological resource including 

recording remaining paleontological 

information, where necessitated by 

disturbance, in order to salvage 

remaining values which cannot be 

otherwise conserved; 

(g) Storage, preparation, and curation; 

(h) Site monitoring; and 

(i) Preparation of reports relating to 

any of the above activities. 

§ 291.40 Rewards. 

(a) The authorized officer may, at his 

or her discretion, pay from penalties 

collected under §§ 291.28 through 36, or 

from appropriated funds, an amount up 

to half of the penalties collected to any 

person who furnishes information 

which leads to a finding of the civil 

violation(s) or to the criminal 

conviction(s). 

(b) If several persons provided the 

information, the amount may be divided 

at the discretion of the authorized 

officer among the persons. 

(c) No officer or employee of the 

United States or of any State or local 

government who furnishes information 

or renders service in the performance of 

their official duties shall be eligible for 

payment. 

§ 291.41 Forfeiture. 

(a) Forfeiture. All paleontological 

resources with respect to which a 

violation under §§ 291.28 through 36 

occurred and which are in the 

possession of any person, are subject to 

forfeiture proceedings. All forfeitures 

will be initiated pursuant to cooperative 

agreements with agencies having law 

enforcement authority and forfeiture 

regulations in place. 

(b) Transfer of Administration of 

Forfeited Resources. The administration 

of forfeited resources may be transferred

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this 

notice, ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ and ‘‘our’’ refer to 

the Architectural and Transportation 

Barriers Compliance Board (Access 

Board). 

In February 2013, we published a 

notice of intent to establish an advisory 

committee to make recommendations to 

the Board on matters associated with 

revising and updating our accessibility 

guidelines issued pursuant to the 

Americans with Disabilities Act for 

transportation vehicles that operate on 

fixed guideway systems (e.g., rapid rail, 

light rail, commuter rail, intercity rail, 

and high speed rail). See 78 FR 10581 

(February 14, 2013). 

For the reasons stated in the notice of 

intent, we have determined that 

establishing the Rail Vehicles Access 

Advisory Committee (committee) is 

necessary and in the public interest. We 

have appointed the following 23 

organizations as members to the 

Committee: 

• Alstom Transportation 

• American Council of the Blind 

• Association of Programs for Rural 

Independent Living 

• Bombardier Transportation 

• California Department of 

Transportation, Division of Rail 

• Center for Inclusive Design and 

Environmental Access 

• Community Transportation 

Association of America 

• Disability Rights Education & Defense 

Fund 

• Hearing Access Program 

• International Centre for Accessible 

Transportation 

• Maryland Transit Administration 

• Metra & Northeast Illinois Regional 

Commuter Railroad Corporation 

• National Association of the Deaf 

• National Association of Railroad 

Passengers 

• National Council on Independent 

Living 

• National Disability Rights Network 

• National Railroad Passenger 

Corporation (Amtrak) 

• Parsons Brinckerhoff 

• RailPlan International 

• Ricon Corporation 

• South West Transit Association 

• Talgo, Inc. 

• United Spinal Association 

The Federal Railroad Administration 

will serve as an ex officio member. 

We regret being unable to 

accommodate all requests for 

membership on the committee. It was 

necessary to limit membership to 

maintain balance among members 

representing different interests such as 

transportation vehicle manufacturers, 

transportation providers which operate 

fixed guideway systems, disability 

organizations, and other stakeholder 

organizations affected by the guidelines. 

The committee membership identified 

above provides representation for the 

interests affected by the issues to be 

discussed. 

Additional committee members may 

be added to achieve balance of points of 

view among committee membership. 

Additional committee members may 

only be added during the first meeting 

of the committee. A three-quarters vote 

of the committee and concurrence by 

the Chairperson of the Access Board is 

required. 

A notice of the first meeting dates will 

be published in the Federal Register 

after consulting with the committee 

members. Decisions with respect to 

future meetings will be made at the first 

meeting and from time to time 

thereafter. Meetings will be held at the 

Access Board’s offices, 1331 F Street 

NW., Suite 800, Washington, DC 20004. 

Committee meetings will be open to 

the public and interested persons can 

attend the meetings and communicate 

their views. Members of the public will 

have opportunities to address the 

committee on issues of interest to them 

during public comment periods 

scheduled on each day of the meeting. 

Members of groups or individuals who 

are not members of the committee may 

also have the opportunity to participate 

in subcommittees of the committee if 

subcommittees are formed. 

The meetings will be accessible to 

persons with disabilities. An assistive 

listening system, Communication 

Access Realtime Translation (CART), 

and sign language interpreters will be 

provided. Persons attending the 

meetings are requested to refrain from 

using perfume, cologne, and other 

fragrances for the comfort of other 

participants (see www.access-board.gov/ 

about/policies/fragrance.htm for more 

information).
