🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Subchapter O – particularly the sections on civil penalties for oil and hazardous substance discharges • How U.S. law typically defines a continuing violation for environmental/pollution regulations • Relationship between MARPOL requirements and U.S. implementing regulations (port state enforcement)

💭 Think About

• Look for the specific phrase in 33 CFR about how often a continuing violation is counted for penalty purposes – is it measured in hours, days, weeks, or months? • Think about how regulators usually structure penalties to encourage quick correction of violations – would they choose a very short or very long interval? • Consider that the exam is testing whether you recognize the exact wording used in the regulation, not just general intuition about punishment severity.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact time unit used in 33 CFR when describing how a continuing violation is counted for separate civil penalties. • Confirm that the wording states that each [time unit] of a continuing violation is treated as a separate violation. • Make sure you are looking at the part of 33 CFR that implements the Federal Water Pollution Control Act civil penalty provisions, not a different pollution statute.
