   (a) publish in advance any such measure that it proposes to adopt; and

   (b) provide interested persons and the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such proposed measures.

3. Sanctions and remedies provided for a violation of a Party's environmental laws and regulations shall, as appropriate:

(a) take into consideration the nature and gravity of the violation, any economic benefit derived from the violation by the violator, the economic condition of the violator, and other relevant factors; and

(b) include compliance agreements, fines, imprisonment, injunctions, the closure of facilities, and the cost of containing or cleaning up pollution.

1. Each Party shall ensure that interested persons may request the Party's competent authorities to investigate alleged violations of its environmental laws and regulations and shall give such requests due consideration in accordance with law.

   (a) be familiar with environmental law and its enforcement;

   (b) be chosen strictly on the basis of objectivity, reliability and sound judgment;

   (c) be independent of, and not be affiliated with or take instruction from, either Party; and

The National Secretariats may consider in consultation with each other a submission from any non-governmental organization or person asserting that a Party is failing to effectively enforce its environmental law. The submission will be forwarded to the Joint Submission Committee if either National Secretariat finds that a submission:

   (a) is in writing in one of the official languages of the Agreement;

   (b) clearly identifies the person or organization making the submission;

   (c) provides sufficient information to allow for the review of the submission, including any documentary evidence on which the submission may be based;

3. The Party shall advise the Joint Submission Committee within 30 days or, in exceptional circumstances and on notification to the Joint Submission Committee, within 60 days of delivery of the request:

   (a) whether the matter is the subject of a pending judicial or administrative proceeding, or whether the matter has previously been or is presently being considered by the Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation of the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, in which case the Joint Submission Committee shall proceed no further; and

   (b) of any other information that the Party wishes to submit, such as

   i) whether the matter was previously the subject of a judicial or administrative proceeding, and

   ii) whether private remedies in connection with the matter are available to the person or organization making the submission and whether they have been pursued.

Article 33: Review of Implementation

1. If, in its final report, a panel determines that there has been a persistent pattern of failure by the Party complained against to effectively enforce its environmental law, and:

   (b) may, where warranted, impose a monetary enforcement assessment in accordance with Annex 33, within 90 days after the panel has been reconvened or such other period as the Parties may agree.

5. Where a panel has been reconvened under paragraph 1(b), it shall determine either that:

   (a) the Party complained against is fully implementing the action plan, in which case the panel may not impose a monetary enforcement assessment, or
