A Notice of Violation (NOV) or regulatory citation can happen seemingly out of nowhere.

Say “NOV” When You Call
What to Do in the Next 24 Hours
1
Don’t ignore the notice – deadlines matter.
Regulators expect action –
often within 10-30 days.
2
Don’t contact the agency alone.
Well-intentioned statements can unintentionally admit fault.
3
Call Alta immediately.
We’ll review your notice, determine the root cause, and create a compliant, defensible response.
