    request of the
Department of Transportation, shall furnish

    reason to believe that such
procedures would provide 
    evidence that such violations have occurred.


        If any person fails to obey a subpoena issued under 
    this subsection,
the Director may apply to any circuit 
    court to secure compliance with the
subpoena.  The failure
