Index of Administrator's Decisions and Orders in Civil Penalty Actions; Publication

The Administrative Procedure Act requires Federal agencies to maintain and make available for public inspection and copying current indexes containing identifying information regarding materials required to be made available or published 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2). In a notice issued on July 11, 1990, and published in the Federal Register (55 FR 29148; July 17, 1990), the FAA announced the public availability of several indexes and summaries that provide identifying information about the decisions and orders issued by the Administrator under the FAA's civil penalty assessment authority and the rules of practice governing hearings and appeals of civil penalty actions. 14 CFR Part 13, Subpart G. The FAA maintains an index of the Administrator's decisions and orders in civil penalty actions organized by order number and containing identifying information about each decision or order. The FAA also maintains a cumulative subject-matter index and digests organized by order number. The indexes are published on a quarterly basis (i.e., January, April, July, and October.) This publication represents the quarter ending on December 31, 1997. The FAA first published these indexes and digests for all decisions and orders issued by the Administrator through September 30, 1990. 55 FR 45984; October 31, 1990. The FAA announced in that notice that only the subject-matter index would be published cumulatively and that the order number index would be non-cumulative. The FAA announced in a later notice that the order number indexes published in January would reflect all of the civil penalty decisions for the previous year. 58 FR 5044; 1/19/93. The previous quarterly publications of these indexes have appeared in these Federal Register as follows:

Civil Penalty Actions--Orders Issued by the Administrator Digests

(Current as of March 31, 1998) The digests of the Administrator's final decisions and orders are arranged by order number, and briefly summarize key points of the decision. The following compilation of digests includes all final decisions and orders issued by the Administrator from January 1, 1998, to March 31, 1998. The FAA will publish non-cumulative supplements to this compilation on a quarterly basis (e.g., April, July, October, and January of each year). These digests do not constitute legal authority, and should not be cited or relied upon as such. The digests are not intended to serve as a substitute for proper legal research. Parties, attorneys, and other interested persons should always consult the full text of the Administrator's decisions before citing them in any context.

In the Matter of Virginia Taylor

[Order No. 98-1 (2/18/98)]

Appeal Dismissed. Taylor's notice of appeal was filed almost 8 months late. Taylor's counsel claimed that the notice of appeal had been filed previously but he failed to submit any evidence that the notice of appeal had been filed on time. The party filing a document has the burden of proving the date on which it filed the document. Taylor failed to prove that she filed the notice of appeal on time or that she had good cause for the failure to file the notice on time. Appeal dismissed.

In the Matter of Paul A. Carr

[Order No. 98-2 (3/12/98)]

Hazardous materials. Carr offered two boxes containing fireworks and some non-hazardous materials to Horizon Air for shipment. Carr did not indicate by marking, labeling, or by declaring on the shipping papers that he was shipping hazardous materials. Also, incorrect packaging was used by Carr to ship the fireworks. The boxes were opened subsequently, when they were transferred to another carrier, and the hazardous materials were discovered. Civil penalty reduced. It is held that in this non-egregious case involving an individual not in the business of shipping hazardous materials, it is inappropriate to count each regulatory violation alleged and found--general and specific--as separate violations for sanction purposes. Due to the statutory minimum civil penalty provision, the consideration of duplicative regulatory violations as separate violations for sanction purposes in non-egregious cases against individuals not in the business of shipping hazardous material may undermine the credibility of the enforcement program and result in excessive penalties under the statutory factors. (See 49 U.S.C. 5123.) Hence, in this case, there is no reason to count 49 CFR 171.2(a), 172.200(a), and 173.1(b), as separate violations for sanction purposes. Also, it is held that the separate violations of 49 CFR 172.202(a) and 172.202(c) are almost identical in this case and therefore, to count both separately for sanction purposes is unnecessary ``piling on.'' Likewise, the violation of 49 CFR 172.304 should not count separately for sanction purposes because this regulation requires that the markings be durable, in English, and printed on or affixed to the package--but a separate violation has already been found because there were no markings at all. The civil penalty is reduced to $2,000.

In the Matter of Thomas Fedele

[Order No. 98-3 (3/12/98)]

Parachuting Too Close to Clouds. A preponderance of the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence in the record indicates that none of the skydivers could have jumped at the time and place in question without coming too close to clouds. Law judge's decision finding otherwise is reversed, and a $500 civil penalty is assessed.

In the Matter of Larry's Flying Service, Inc.

[Order No. 98-4 (3/12/98)]

No Good Cause for Failure to File Timely Answer. Larry's argues that confusion of its counsel was the reason for its lateness in filing its answer. Counsel allegedly thought that the copy of the complaint he received was only a courtesy copy because it did not contain the case number or the law judge's name. No good cause has been shown. Any confusion on counsel's part was unwarranted. $20,000 Penalty Assessed. Although $20,000 may seem severe, Larry's was no stranger to the answer requirement, having narrowly escaped a default judgment in two previous cases. In addition, Larry's has a history of prior violation, an aggravating factor. Financial Hardship. Larry's waived the affirmative defense of financial hardship when it failed to file a timely answer without good cause and again when it failed to raise the issue in its appeal brief.

In the Matter of James K. Squire

[Order No. 98-5 (3/19/98)]

Additional Time to File Appeal Brief Granted. After rendering his oral initial decision, the law judge informed Squire of his option to file a notice of appeal within 10 days, but neglected to mention the requirement to perfect a notice of appeal within 50 days of the issuance of the initial decision by filing an appeal brief. It is held that this omission constitutes good cause for granting additional time to file an appeal brief.
