# §250.1455. Does my request for a hearing on the record affect the penalties?

- (a) If you do not correct the violations identified in the Notice of Noncompliance, the penalties will continue to accrue even if you request a hearing on the record.
- (b) You may petition the Hearings Division (Departmental) of the Office of Hearings and Appeals, to stay the accrual of penalties pending the hearing on the record and a decision by the Administrative Law Judge under [§ 250.1472](/cfr/30/250.1472.md).
  - (1) You must file your petition within 45 calendar days of receiving the Notice of Noncompliance.
  - (2) To stay the accrual of penalties, you must post a bond or other surety instrument, or demonstrate financial solvency, using the standards and requirements as prescribed in BOEM's regulations, [30 CFR part 550](/cfr/30/part550.md), subpart N. The posted amount must cover the unpaid principal and interest due for the Notice of Noncompliance, plus the amount of any penalties accrued before the date a stay becomes effective.
  - (3) The Hearings Division will grant or deny the petition under [43 CFR 4.21(b)](/cfr/43/4.21.md?p=b).
