# §1241.74. How may ONRR collect my penalty?

- (a) If you do not pay a civil penalty amount by the date when payment is due under [§ 1241.72](/cfr/30/1241.72.md), we may use all available means to collect the penalty, including but not limited to:
  - (1) **Requiring the lease surety, for an amount owed by a lessee, to pay the penalty.**
  - (2) **Deducting the amount of the penalty from any sum that the United States owes you.**
  - (3) **Referring the debt to the Department of the Treasury for collection under 30 CFR part 1218, subpart J.**
  - (4) Using the judicial process to compel your payment under [30 U.S.C. 1719(k)](/usc/30/1719.md?p=k).
- (b) If ONRR uses the judicial process to compel your payment, or if you seek judicial review under [30 U.S.C. 1719(j)](/usc/30/1719.md?p=j), and the court upholds the assessment of a penalty, the court will have jurisdiction to award the penalty amount assessed plus interest from the date of the expiration of the 90-day period referred to in [30 U.S.C. 1719(j)](/usc/30/1719.md?p=j).
