The Recommended Format was developed with the cooperation and assistance of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring. The purpose of the Recommended Format is to provide a general guide which delineates (1) the specific statutory requirements (such as the requirements of Section 309(a)(4) on opportunity for a recipient to confer with the Administrator on violations based on failure to submit information); and (2) options and suggestions on format for Administrative Orders (such as the option of including violations in a separate section after findings of fact). The Recommended Format, as utilized by the Regions, should result in more effective and even-handed national enforcement through Administrative Orders.
