§ 1021.54a. Prepayment of penalties.
(a) When an appeal is from the assessment of a civil penalty for which the statute requires an appellant to prepay the penalty or post a bond with the Department, the appellant shall submit to the Office of Chief Counsel of the Department a check in the amount of the penalty or an appropriate bond securing payment of the penalty or a verified statement that the appellant is unable to pay.
(b) When an appeal is from the assessment of a civil penalty for which the statute requires an appellant to prepay the penalty or post a bond with the Board, the appellant shall submit to the Board a check in the amount of the penalty or an appropriate bond securing payment of the penalty or a verified statement that the appellant is unable to pay.
(c) If a civil penalty is assessed under more than one statute, an appellant shall follow the procedures set forth in each statute.
(d) When an appellant submits a verified statement of inability to prepay, under subsection (a) or (b), a copy of the verified statement shall be included with the notice of appeal.
Comment: Practitioners should note that the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. § § 4001—4015), requires that prepayment of a civil penalty be made to the Board and not to the Department.
