Ohio Administrative Code
Title 4901:1 - Utilities
Chapter 4901:1-34 - Noncompliance
Section 4901:1-34-03 - Staff notice of probable noncompliance, proposed corrective action, and proposed forfeiture

(A) After an inspection, investigation, or complaint, a staff notice of probable noncompliance may be issued. The staff notice of probable noncompliance may be issued with a proposed corrective action and/or a proposed forfeiture.

(B) The staff may issue an amended notice of probable noncompliance, proposed corrective action, or proposed forfeiture at any time prior to the commencement of a compliance proceeding or other commission proceeding brought pursuant to rule 4901:1-34-06 of the Administrative Code, in order to modify or include additional probable noncompliances or violations, facts, proposed forfeitures, and proposed compliance orders. Once the commission initiates a compliance or other proceeding pursuant to rule 4901:1-34-06 of the Administrative Code, this rule does not prevent the staff during the course of such proceeding from seeking a finding of violations not listed in the staff notice or amended staff notice of probable noncompliance (or rescinding or refraining from seeking a finding of violations) or from seeking a corrective action or proposed forfeiture that varies from previous staff notices issued under this rule, provided that the staff's proposed findings and/or violations relate to the same incident, type of incident, investigation, or audit(s).
