    or Class II penalty proceeding. EPA provides public notice of the 
    proposed assessment pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 1319(g)(4)(A).
        Class II proceedings are conducted under EPA's Consolidated Rules 
    of Practice Governing the Administrative Assessment of civil Penalties 
    and the Revocation of Suspension of Permits, 40 CFR part 22. The 
    procedures by which the public may submit written comment on a proposed

    in the Consolidated Rules. The deadline for submitting public comment 
    on a proposed Class II order is thirty (30) days after issuance of this 
    public document.
