(a) The Division may, on its motion, administratively review the failure to pay any civil penalty where cause exists to question whether all required fees or civil penalties have been paid.

(b) The Division shall initiate the administrative review by notifying any person who apparently has failed to pay a required fee or civil penalty that the Division may impose the sanctions set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:69A-9.3(f) unless the person requests that an administrative review conference be scheduled by the Division.

(c) If any person notified pursuant to (b) above that they have failed to pay a required fee or civil penalty fails within 20 days to either pay the outstanding amount due or to request that the Division schedule an administrative review conference, the Division may impose the sanctions set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:69A-9.3(f) without further notice or opportunity to be heard.
