This finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action
taken against Respondent.

extension of time to comply with any of the required items upon a written request timely
submitted by the Respondent and demonstrating good cause for an extension. Upon completion
of the ordered actions, Respondent may request that the Director close the case. Failure to
comply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties under 49 C.F.R. § 190.223
or in referral to the Attorney General for appropriate relief in a district court of the United States.
