What is the civil penalty for accountable officials according to 31 USC 3802?
31 U.S.C. § 3802 doesn't specify a single, fixed civil penalty amount for accountable officials. Instead, it outlines a system where the penalty is determined by the agency head, considering the gravity of the violation and other relevant factors. The maximum penalty is $15,000 for each violation. So, the actual civil penalty imposed can range from a lesser amount up to that maximum, per infraction.
