Fines or enforcement action of less than $US 5,000 in value are not prioritized for inclusion in the index. Proposed fines, issued under a formal “notice of intention” but not yet finalized, are included in the fine totals and recorded as a fine until varied or withdrawn. For fines issued to an individual, the name of the individual is not reproduced in the index.
