Questions & Answers

Under 70a.12, what does the penalties section say?

Section 70a.12 simply states that the provision was redesignated and revised as part 71.12. The official entry reads: “PART 70a.12—REDESIGNATED AND REVISED AS PART 71.12 [63 FR 56745, October 22, 1998].” See 70a for the official citation and status.

Under 70a.12, does the text list specific penalty amounts for privacy violations?

Under 70a.12, is this section still the operative rule for penalties against privacy violations?

No, 70a.12 is not the current operative text because it was redesignated and revised as part 71.12. The official notice of redesignation is recorded as [63 FR 56745, October 22, 1998]; consult the revised provision for the current operative rule. See 70a for the citation.

Under 70a.12, where should I look to find the updated penalties now that the section was redesignated?

You should look to the revised provision in Part 71.12, since 70a.12 was redesignated and revised as part 71.12. The redesignation is recorded in the official entry for 70a.12; see 70a for the citation and redesignation notice.

Under 70a.12, can I cite 70a.12 as the authority for current penalties in compliance documents?

You should not cite 70a.12 as the current penalty authority because it was redesignated and revised as part 71.12. Instead, cite the amended provision (Part 71.12) as the current authority and note the redesignation; the 70a.12 entry documents the change. See 70a for the redesignation notice.
