49 U.S.C. § 15903 — Enforcement by the Attorney General

submitted 31 years ago by Pub. L. 104-88 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 124 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Attorney General can — and must, if the Board asks — go to court to enforce this part of the law and prosecute violators. The government can also sue on behalf of a person to make a pipeline carrier provide service on terms as good as it gives others in similar situations.

(a) On Behalf of Board: The Attorney General may bring court proceedings to enforce this part, or a regulation or order of the Board, and to prosecute anyone who violates them. If the Board asks the Attorney General to do this, the Attorney General must do it. (b) On Behalf of Others: The United States Government may also sue on behalf of an individual person. The goal of that lawsuit is to force a pipeline carrier to provide transportation or service to that person, following this part's rules — at the same rate, and on terms just as favorable, as the carrier gives someone else moving similar goods under similar conditions.
