CFTC Instruction 604-1

Section a copy of the order and the last address of record of the respondent(s) required to pay the penalty(ies).

4. The Operations and Budget Section sends the respondent(s) a
demand letter in conformity with 4 CFR 102.2 which advises the
respondent(s) of the amount due; the date by which payment
is to be made; the penalties, interest and administrative
charges assessed on delinquent claims; and directing the
respondent(s) to make payment by check or money order to be
sent to the Operations and Budget Section. Copies of this
letter are sent to the Enforcement Division and the Proceedings
Clerk. (See Attachment 1).

5. When payment is received, the Operations and Budget Section
forwards to the Enforcement Division and the Proceedings Clerk
copies of the check with the docket number and the name of
the respondent noted thereon. The Operations and Burlget
Section deposits each check promptly, enters on its deposit
record the amount and date of each payment, the name of the
respondent making the payment and the docket number of the

case.

6. The Operations and Budget Section informs the Enforcement Division and the Proceedings Clerk at once when a check for payment is returned by the bank for nonpayment and promptly requests in writing that respondent(s) make immediate payment by certified check.

B. Delinquencies.

NOTE:

1. If payment is not received within 30 days, the Operations
and Budget Section normally will send two progressively
stronger demand letters at not more than 30 day intervals.
(See Attachment 2 and 3). These letters will also include a
notice of assessment of interest, administrative costs and
penalty charges calculated in accordance with the provisions
of 4 CFR 102.13. Copies of these letters will be sent to the
Enforcement Division and the Proceedings Clerk.

The Operations and Budget Section may waive the sending of the
second or third demand letter if the Enforcement Division
believes that collection would be unlikely. The Operations
and Budget Section will then proceed as outlined in 2 below.
2. If payment is not made after receipt of the second or third
demand letter, the Operations and Budget Section will confer
with the Enforcement Division to determine whether the circum-
stances warrant additional action which may include:

CFTC Instruction 604-1

a.

b.

The Enforcement Division referring the case to the Attorney
General, giving due consideration to the directive in

4 CFR 105.1 that referrals ordinarily be made within one
year, and the five year time limit on such referrals
specified in 28 U.S.C. §2462.

A new administrative proceeding being instituted to seek
further sanctions against the respondent(s) for failure to
comply with a Commission order particularily if the debtor is
registered with CFTC or is trading on the Contract Markets.
(See 4 CFR 102.9)

c. The Operations and Budget Section, with the concurrence of
the Division of Enforcement, recommending to the Executive
Director the compromise of claims which do not exceed $20,000,
if there is sufficient reason to believe that collection of
the claim in full can not be accomplished and the recommen-
dations otherwise meet the requirements of 4 CFR Part 103.

C. Reporting.

1. On a quarterly basis the Operations and Budget Section and the Enforcement Division will reconcile their records of civil penalties assessed and paid.

2. The Operations and Budget Section will annually provide the Executive Director with a report of the penalties assessed, collected and outstanding; noting any unreconciled differences between the records of Operations and Budget and Enforcement Division.

3. The Operations and Budget Section will prepare any periodic
reports of civil penalty collections as may be required by
the Department of the Treasury and the Office of Management
and Budget.
