shipment, or any cancellation of a shipment. The Department of the

the environment.

of the Code of Federal Regulations.
(i) Any carrier who violates this section, in addition to any
penalty provided by law, is subject to a civil penalty of not more
than five hundred dollars ($500) for each violation. For purposes of
this section, each day of a continuing violation is a separate and
distinct violation.

subdivision, the court shall consider, in addition to other relevant
circumstances, the following:
(1) The extent of the harm caused by the violation.
(2) The persistence of the violation.
(3) The number of prior violations by the same violator.
