Common use of Penalty Determination Clause in Contracts

Penalty Determination. (1) Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 39619.7, CARB must provide information on the basis for the penalties it seeks. This information is provided throughout this settlement agreement and summarized below. Penalties must be set at levels sufficient to discourage violations. The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including the eight factors specified in Health and Safety Code sections 42403 and 43024. The per unit or per vehicle penalty in this case is a maximum of $10,000.00 per unit per day. The penalty of $18,375.00 over an unspecified number of days of violation is for 46 noncompliant units. The per unit penalty in this case is $399.46 per CHE violation. This penalty was calculated by considering all factors specified in Health and Safety Code sections 42403 and 43024, including the fact that APM came into compliance quickly, is a first time violator, and has cooperated with the investigation. The penalty provision being applied in this case is Health and Safety Code section 39674 because APM failed to comply with section 2479 of the CHE Regulation, which was adopted under the authority of Health and Safety Code section 39658, et seq. The provisions cited above do prohibit emissions above a specified level. However, since the hours of operation of the noncompliant units involved and their individual emission rates are not known, it is not practicable to quantify the excess emissions. (2) CARB has explained the manner in which the penalty amount was calculated (including a per unit or per vehicle penalty, if appropriate), has identified the provision of law under which the penalty is being assessed and has explained that this penalty is being assessed under a provision of law that prohibits the emission of pollutants at a specified level. (3) Penalties were determined based on the unique circumstances of this matter, considered together with the need to remove any economic benefit from noncompliance, the goal of deterring future violations and obtaining swift compliance, the consideration of past penalties in similar case negotiations, and the potential costs and risk associated with litigating these particular violations. The penalty reflects violations extending over a number of days considered together with the complete circumstances of this case. The penalty also reflects CARB's assessment of the relative strength of its case against APM, the desire to avoid the uncertainty, burden, and expense of litigation, to obtain swift compliance with the law, and to remove any unfair advantage that APM may have secured from its actions. Penalties in future cases might be smaller or larger on a per unit basis. (4) The penalty in this case was based in part on confidential business information provided by APM that is not retained by CARB in the ordinary course of business. The penalty in this case was also based on confidential settlement communications between CARB and APM that CARB does not retain in the ordinary course of business.
