The LEA in this case documented $4,505.00 in costs to comply with AHERA and, therefore, its cash component of the $4,400.00 assessed civil penalty was reduced to zero. This is consistent with the assessing Administrative Civil Penalties Against an LEA section of the 1989 Interim Final Enforcement Response Policy for AHERA.
