§904.402. Procedures.
15 C.F.R. § 904.402
Any person authorized to enforce the laws listed in § 904.1(c) or Agency counsel may serve a written warning on a respondent.
The written warning will—
State that it is a “written warning”;
State the factual and statutory or regulatory basis for its issuance;
Advise the respondent of its effect in the event of a future violation; and
Inform the respondent of the right of review and appeal under § 904.403.
NOAA will maintain a record of written warnings that are issued.
If, within 120 days of the date of the written warning, further investigation indicates that the violation is more serious than realized at the time the written warning was issued, or that the respondent previously committed a similar violation for which a written warning was issued or other enforcement action was taken, NOAA may withdraw the warning and commence other administrative or judicial proceedings.
