The Attorney General may commence a civil action in any appropriate district court* of the United States against any person who—
engages in a pattern or practice of violating this chapter; or
engages in a violation of this chapter that raises an issue of significant public importance.
In a civil action commenced under subsection (a), the court may—
grant any appropriate equitable or declaratory relief with respect to the violation of this chapter;
award all other appropriate relief, including monetary damages, to any person aggrieved by the violation; and
may, to vindicate the public interest, assess a civil penalty—
in an amount not exceeding $55,000 for a first violation; and
in an amount not exceeding $110,000 for any subsequent violation.
Upon timely application, a person aggrieved by a violation of this chapter with respect to which the civil action is commenced may intervene in such action, and may obtain such appropriate relief as the person could obtain in a civil action under section 4042 of this title with respect to that violation, along with costs and a reasonable attorney fee.
