FCC v. AT&T · ¶17

Absent a successful enforcement suit (and resulting court order), the statute provides no other mechanism for the Commission to collect the forfeiture. The regulated party may, of course, pay the forfeiture voluntarily. But until it does, or the court in a § 504 enforcement action orders payment, the Commission may not use the “notice of apparent liability . . . to the prejudice of” the party in other Commission proceedings. § 504(c).
