Anyone who violates this chapter owes the government a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation. The Attorney General sets and can compromise the penalty, weighing the violator's size and how serious the violation was. The government can also deduct the penalty from money it owes the violator.

(a) Penalty. A person or entity that violates this chapter owes the United States Government a civil penalty of not more than $1,000 for each violation. (b) Collection and Compromise.

The Attorney General may also compromise — that is, reduce — the amount, considering how the penalty fits the size of the violator's business and how serious the violation was. (2) The government may subtract the amount of an imposed or compromised penalty from any money it owes the violator.
