Sec. 470aa. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose

-STATUTE-

(a) The Congress finds that -

(1) archaeological resources on public lands and Indian lands

are an accessible and irreplaceable part of the Nation's

heritage;

(2) these resources are increasingly endangered because of

their commercial attractiveness;

(3) existing Federal laws do not provide adequate protection to

prevent the loss and destruction of these archaeological

resources and sites resulting from uncontrolled excavations and

pillage; and

(4) there is a wealth of archaeological information which has

been legally obtained by private individuals for noncommercial

purposes and which could voluntarily be made available to

professional archaeologists and institutions.

(b) The purpose of this chapter is to secure, for the present and

future benefit of the American people, the protection of

archaeological resources and sites which are on public lands and

Indian lands, and to foster increased cooperation and exchange of

information between governmental authorities, the professional

archaeological community, and private individuals having

collections of archaeological resources and data which were

obtained before October 31, 1979.

Sec. 470ff. Civil penalties

-STATUTE-

(a) Assessment by Federal land manager

(1) Any person who violates any prohibition contained in an

applicable regulation or permit issued under this chapter may be

assessed a civil penalty by the Federal land manager concerned. No

penalty may be assessed under this subsection unless such person is

given notice and opportunity for a hearing with respect to such

violation. Each violation shall be a separate offense. Any such

civil penalty may be remitted or mitigated by the Federal land

manager concerned.

(2) The amount of such penalty shall be determined under

regulations promulgated pursuant to this chapter, taking into

account, in addition to other factors -

(A) the archaeological or commercial value of the

archaeological resource involved, and

(B) the cost of restoration and repair of the resource and the

archaeological site involved.

Such regulations shall provide that, in the case of a second or

subsequent violation by any person, the amount of such civil

penalty may be double the amount which would have been assessed if

such violation were the first violation by such person. The amount

of any penalty assessed under this subsection for any violation

shall not exceed an amount equal to double the cost of restoration

and repair of resources and archaeological sites damaged and double

the fair market value of resources destroyed or not recovered.

(3) No penalty shall be assessed under this section for the

removal of arrowheads located on the surface of the ground.

(b) Judicial review of assessed penalties; collection of unpaid

assessments

(1) Any person aggrieved by an order assessing a civil penalty

under subsection (a) of this section may file a petition for

judicial review of such order with the United States District Court

for the District of Columbia or for any other district in which

such a person resides or transacts business. Such a petition may

only be filed within the 30-day period beginning on the date the

order making such assessment was issued. The court shall hear such

action on the record made before the Federal land manager and shall

sustain his action if it is supported by substantial evidence on

the record considered as a whole.

(2) If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty -

(A) after the order making the assessment has become a final

order and such person has not filed a petition for judicial

review of the order in accordance with paragraph (1), or

(B) after a court in an action brought under paragraph (1) has

entered a final judgment upholding the assessment of a civil

penalty,

the Federal land managers may request the Attorney General to

institute a civil action in a district court of the United States

for any district in which such person is found, resides, or

transacts business to collect the penalty and such court shall have

jurisdiction to hear and decide any such action. In such action,

the validity and amount of such penalty shall not be subject to

review.

(c) Hearings

Hearings held during proceedings for the assessment of civil

penalties authorized by subsection (a) of this section shall be

conducted in accordance with section 554 of title 5. The Federal

land manager may issue subpenas for the attendance and testimony of

witnesses and the production of relevant papers, books, and

documents, and administer oaths. Witnesses summoned shall be paid

the same fees and mileage that are paid to witnesses in the courts

of the United States. In case of contumacy or refusal to obey a

subpena served upon any person pursuant to this paragraph, the

district court of the United States for any district in which such

person is found or resides or transacts business, upon application

by the United States and after notice to such person, shall have

jurisdiction to issue an order requiring such person to appear and

give testimony before the Federal land manager or to appear and

produce documents before the Federal land manager, or both, and any

failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by such

court as a contempt thereof.

subsection (a), (b), or (c) of section 470ee of this title involve
