SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
II. Method of Calculation
III. Summary of Final Rule
IV. Final Rulemaking
V. Regulatory Review
I. Background
In order to preserve the deterrent
effect of civil penalties and foster
compliance with the law, the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
of 1990, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note, as
amended by the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–
134) (‘‘the Act’’), requires Federal
agencies to regularly adjust each CMP
provided by law within the jurisdiction
of the agency. Also, the Act in part
requires each agency to make further
adjustments at least once every four
years.
The Act provides that any increase in
a CMP due to the calculated inflation
adjustments shall apply only to
violations that occur after the date the
increase takes effect and states that the
initial inflation adjustment may not
exceed 10 percent of the existing
penalty.
II. Method of Calculation
Under the Act, the inflation
adjustment for each applicable CMP is
determined by increasing the maximum
civil penalty amount per violation by
the cost-of-living adjustment. The ‘‘costof-living’’ adjustment is defined as the
amount by which the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) for the month of June of the
calendar year preceding the adjustment
exceeds the CPI for the month of June
of the year in which the amount of such
civil penalty was last set or adjusted
pursuant to law. Any calculated
increase under this adjustment is
rounded to the nearest—
(1) Multiple of $10 in the case of
penalties less than or equal to $100;
(2) Multiple of $100 in the case of
penalties greater than $100 but less than
or equal to $1,000;
(3) Multiple of $1000 in the case of
penalties greater than $1000 but less
than or equal to $10,000;
