Any <br />person who knowingly violates, and any person engaged in business as an importer or <br />exporter of fish, wildlife, or plants who violates, any pro- vision of any other <br />regulation issued under this Act may be assessed a civil penalty by the Secretary of <br />not more than $12,000 for each such violation.

The court shall hear such action on <br />the record made before the Secretary and shall sustain his action if it is supported by <br />substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole. <br />(2) Hearings held during proceedings for the assessment of civil penalties by <br /> <br />http://www.fws.gov/-r9endspp/esa.html <br /> <br />9/30/97 <br />
