ACTION: Interim final rule. AGENCY: FMCSA amends the civil penalties listed in its regulations to ensure that the civil penalties assessed or enforced by the Agency reflect the statutorily mandated ranges as adjusted for inflation. Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (2015 Act), FMCSA is required to promulgate a catch-up adjustment through an interim final rule. Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, FMCSA finds that good cause exists for immediate implementation of this interim final rule because prior notice and comment are unnecessary, per the specific provisions of the 2015 Act. DATES: This interim rule is effective on August 1, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. LaTonya Mimms, Enforcement Division, by email at civilpenalty@dot.gov or phone at 202–366–0991. Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 41453 I. Executive Summary A. Purpose and Summary of the Major Provisions This interim final rule (IFR) adjusts the amount of FMCSA’s civil penalties to account for inflation as directed by the 2015 Act. The specific inflation adjustment methodology is described later in this document. B. Benefits and Costs The changes imposed by this IFR affect the civil penalty amounts, which are considered by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–4, Regulatory Analysis, as transfer payments, not costs. Transfer payments are payments from one group to another that do not affect total resources available to society. By definition they are not considered in the monetization of societal costs and benefits of rulemakings. Congress stated in the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (1990 Act) that increasing penalties over time will ‘‘maintain the deterrent effect of civil monetary penalties and promote compliance with the law.’’ 1 Therefore, with this continued deterrence, FMCSA infers that there may be some safety benefits that occur due to this IFR. The deterrence effect of increasing penalties, which Congress has recognized, cannot be reliably quantified into safety benefits, however. II. Legal Basis for the Rulemaking A. Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 This rulemaking is based primarily on the 2015 Act, Public Law 114–74, title VII, § 701, 129 Stat. 599, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note (Nov. 2, 2015). The 2015 Act amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (1990 Act) (28 U.S.C. 2461 note). The basic findings and purpose of the amended 1990 Act remain unchanged and include supporting the role civil penalties play in federal law and regulations in deterring violations by allowing for regulatory adjustments to account for inflation. The changes based on the 2015 Act amend sections four, five, six, and also add a new section seven. The effective provisions relevant to this rulemaking will be discussed in turn. Under section four, agencies must adjust their civil monetary penalties and publish such adjusted penalties in the Federal Register by July 1, 2016, while utilizing an initial ‘‘catch-up’’ 1 28 U.S.C. 2461 note (Pub. L. 101–410, Oct. 5, 1990, 104 Stat. 890). E:\FR\FM\27JNR1.SGM 27JNR1
