Any civil action authorized to be brought under this chapter shall be referred to the Attorney General for appropriate action: Provided, That nothing in this chapter shall be construed as requiring the [Secretary](/usc/7/3402.md?p=k) to refer to the Attorney General minor violations of this chapter whenever the [Secretary](/usc/7/3402.md?p=k) believes that the administration and enforcement of the program would be adequately served by suitable written notice or warning to any [person](/usc/7/3402.md?p=l) committing such violation.
- (b) **Penalties—** Any [end product manufacturer](/usc/7/3402.md?p=f) or other [person](/usc/7/3402.md?p=l) who willfully violates any provision of any order issued by the [Secretary](/usc/7/3402.md?p=k) under this chapter, or who willfully fails or refuses to remit any assessment or fee duly required thereunder, shall be liable to a penalty of not more than $1,000 for each such offense which shall accrue to the [United States](/usc/7/3402.md?p=m) and may be recovered in a civil suit brought by the [United States](/usc/7/3402.md?p=m).
