Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 6 / Friday, January 9, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
Likewise, the FTC is not adding new
adjustments for other statutory civil
penalty amounts that have been enacted
since the last adjustments, such as the
Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007 section 814(a). This authority is
too recent to warrant adjustments for
inflation. Similarly, the FTC is not
adjusting section 1115(a) of the
Medicare Prescription Drug
Improvement and Modernization Act of
2003 because the amount of inflation
since the inception of this authority is
insufficient to warrant adjustment.
In light of the ministerial nature of the
adjustments, the public comment
requirements of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) do not apply to
this action. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B)
(exception when public comment is
unnecessary). For this reason, the
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act also do not apply. 5
U.S.C. 603 and 604 (no regulatory
flexibility analyses required where the
APA does not require public comment).
