Which statements describe criminal penalties for HazMat non-compliance?

They are in accordance with Title 18 United States Code provisions

They include the concept of Ability to Pay

They allow imprisonment for up to five years

All of the above

Criminal penalties for HazMat non-compliance come from federal law and the hazmat regulatory framework. They are described within Title 18 United States Code provisions, which set the maximum fines and prison terms for offenses such as willful violations and making false statements. The system also considers Ability to Pay, so fines can be adjusted based on a person’s financial resources. Imprisonment for up to five years is allowed for certain willful violations, with harsher penalties possible in more serious cases. Because all of these statements describe how HazMat penalties can be assessed, the correct summary is that all of the above.
