What is Administrative enforcement?
When a federal agency investigates, inspects, audits or otherwise examines individuals and organizations, it may impose administrative sanctions when it determines noncompliance with federal laws has occurred. Administrative enforcement differs from civil enforcement in that these sanctions are imposed without court intervention -- in other words, administratively.
