104 STAT. 2510 PUBLIC LAW 101-549—NOV. 15, 1990 order is issued. Such person shall simultaneously send a copy of the filing by certified mail to the Administrator and the Attorney General. The Administrator shall file in the court a certified copy, or certified index, as appropriate, of the record on which the order was issued within 30 days. The court shall not set aside or remand any order issued in accordance with the requirements of this subsection unless there is not substantial evidence in the record, taken as a whole, to support the finding of a violation or unless the Administrator's assessment of the penalty constitutes an abuse of discretion, and the court shall not impose additional civil penalties unless the Administrator's assessment of the penalty constitutes an abuse of discretion. In any proceedings, the United States may seek to recover civil penalties assessed under this section. "(6) COLLECTION.— If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty imposed by the Administrator as provided in this subsection— "(A) after the order making the gissessment has become final, or "(B) after a court in an action brought under paragraph (5) has entered a final judgment in favor of the Administrator, the Administrator shall request the Attorney General to bring a civil action in an appropriate district court to recover the amount assessed (plus interest at rates established pursuant to section 6621(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 from the date of the final order or the date of the final judgment, as the case may be). In such an action, the validity, amount, and appropriateness of the penalty shall not be subject to review. Any person who fails to pay on a timely basis the amount of an assessment of a civil penalty as described in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be required to pay, in addition to that amount and interest, the United States' enforcement expenses, including attorneys fees and costs for collection proceedings, and a quarterly nonpayment penalty for each quarter during which such failure to pay persists. The nonpayment penalty shall be in an amount equal to 10 percent of the aggregate amount of that person's penalties and nonpa5mient penalties which are unpaid as of the beginning of such quarter.". (d) ENFORCEMENT OF FUELS REGULATIONS.— Section 211(d) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(d)) is amended to read as follows: "(d) PENALTIES AND INJUNCTIONS.— "(1) CIVIL PENALTIES. —Any person who violates subsection (a), (f), (g), (k), (1), (m), or (n) of this section or the regulations prescribed under subsection (c), (h), (i), (k), (1), (m), or (n) of this section or who fails to furnish any information or conduct any tests required by the Administrator under subsection (b) of this section shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty of not more than the sum of $25,000 for every day of such violation and the amount of economic benefit or savings resulting from the violation. Any violation with respect to a regulation prescribed under subsection (c), (k), (1), or (m) of this section which establishes a regulatory standard based upon a multiday averaging period shall constitute a separate day of violation for each and every day in the averaging period.
