Summary of Cases Involving Civil Penalties
Civil Penalty Cases Resolved by the U.S. Department of Justice
In some circumstances, PHMSA may refer a pipeline safety enforcement case to the Department of Justice for resolution. Because these cases are not settled through PHMSA's administrative enforcement process, they are not reflected in the data on Civil Penalty Cases Initiated, Civil Penalty Cases Resolved, and Civil Penalties Resolved on this web site.
Civil penalty cases resolved by the Department of Justice are listed below.
