ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the ‘‘Board’’) is issuing a final rule amending its rules of practice and procedure to adjust the amount of each civil money penalty (‘‘CMP’’) provided by law within its jurisdiction to account for inflation as required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note (‘‘FCPIA Act’’), requires federal agencies to adjust, by regulation, the CMPs within their jurisdiction to account for inflation. The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the ‘‘2015 Act’’)1 amended the FCPIA Act to require federal agencies to make a ‘‘catch-up’’ adjustment—the first inflation adjustment after the date of enactment of the 2015 Act—through an interim final rulemaking, to take effect no later than August 1, 2016, and to make adjustments not later than January 15 of every year thereafter.2 On July 20, 2016, the Board issued an interim final rule setting the CMP levels pursuant to the required catch-up adjustment. The Board is now issuing a new final rule to set the CMP levels pursuant to the required annual adjustment for 2017. The Board will apply these adjusted maximum penalty levels to any penalties assessed on or after January 15, 2017, whose associated violations occurred on or after November 2, 2015. 1 Pub. L. 114–74, 129 Stat. 599 (2015) (codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note). 2 28 U.S.C. 2461 note, section 4(b)(1). PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Penalties assessed for violations occurring prior to November 2, 2015 will be subject to the amounts set in the Board’s 2012 adjustment pursuant to the FCPIA Act.3 Under the 2015 Act, the annual adjustment to be made for 2017 is the percentage by which the Consumer Price Index for the month of October 2016 exceeds the Consumer Price Index for the month of October 2015. On December 16, 2016, as directed by the 2015 Act, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued guidance to affected agencies on implementing the required annual adjustment which included the relevant inflation multiplier.4 Using OMB’s multiplier, the Board calculated the adjusted penalties for its CMPs, rounding the penalties to the nearest dollar.5 Comment Received in Response to the July 20, 2016 Interim Final Rule The Board received one comment letter on behalf of International Bancshares Corporation (‘‘IBC’’) in response to the July 20, 2016 interim final rule. IBC expressed disappointment that the Board published the new penalty levels through an interim final rule without engaging in prior notice and comment proceedings. As IBC itself acknowledged, however, the 2015 Act required the Board to adjust the penalties for the catch-up adjustment through an interim final rulemaking to take effect no later than August 1, 2016. IBC also expressed concern with many of the new maximum penalty amounts, urging the Board to exercise its discretion to ‘‘withhold using its maximum penalty authority.’’ Again, as IBC acknowledged, the Board calculated the new penalty amounts strictly in accordance with the 2015 Act and OMB’s implementing guidance. Moreover, setting the new upper limits on penalties does not require the Board in any particular case to assess the maximum amounts. Administrative Procedure Act The 2015 Act states that agencies shall make the annual adjustment 3 77 FR 68680 (Nov. 16, 2012). Memorandum M–17–11, Implementation of the 2017 Annual Adjustment Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Dec. 16, 2016). 5 Under the 2015 Act and implementing OMB guidance, agencies are not required to make an adjustment to a CMP if, during the 12 months preceding the required adjustment, such penalty increased due to a law other than the 2015 Act by an amount greater than the amount of the required adjustment. No other laws have adjusted the CMPs within the Board’s jurisdiction during the preceding 12 months. 4 OMB E:\FR\FM\25JAR1.SGM 25JAR1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 15 / Wednesday, January 25, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 8361 ‘‘notwithstanding section 553 of title 5, United States Code.’’ Therefore, this rule is not subject to the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (the ‘‘APA’’), 5 U.S.C. 553, requiring notice, public participation, and deferred effective date. subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. § 263.65 Civil money penalty inflation adjustments. List of Subjects in 12 CFR Part 263 Administrative practice and procedure, Claims, Crime, Equal access to justice, Lawyers, Penalties. Regulatory Flexibility Act Authority and Issuance For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the Board amends 12 CFR part 263 to read as follows: (a) Inflation adjustments. In accordance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, which further amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, the Board has set forth in paragraph (b) of this section the adjusted maximum amounts for each civil money penalty provided by law within the Board’s jurisdiction. The authorizing statutes contain the complete provisions under which the Board may seek a civil money penalty. The adjusted civil money penalties apply only to penalties assessed on or after January 15, 2017, whose associated violations occurred on or after November 2, 2015. (b) Maximum civil money penalties. The maximum (or, in the cases of 12 U.S.C. 334 and 1832(c), fixed) civil money penalties as set forth in the referenced statutory sections are set forth in the table in this paragraph (b). The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires a regulatory flexibility analysis only for rules for which an agency is required to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking. Because the 2015 Act states that agencies’ annual adjustments are to be made notwithstanding section 553 of title 5 of United States Code—the APA section requiring notice of proposed rulemaking—the Board is not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply.

``Board'') is issuing a final rule amending its rules of practice and 
procedure to adjust the amount of each civil money penalty (``CMP'') 
provided by law within its jurisdiction to account for inflation as 
required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 
Improvements Act of 2015.

DATES: This final rule is effective January 25, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act

    The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, 28 
U.S.C. 2461 note (``FCPIA Act''), requires federal agencies to adjust, 
by regulation, the CMPs within their jurisdiction to account for 
inflation. The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 
Improvements Act of 2015 (the ``2015 Act'')\1\ amended the FCPIA Act to 
require federal agencies to make a ``catch-up'' adjustment--the first 
inflation adjustment after the date of enactment of the 2015 Act--
through an interim final rulemaking, to take effect no later than 
August 1, 2016, and to make adjustments not later than January 15 of 
every year thereafter.\2\ On July 20, 2016, the Board issued an interim 
final rule setting the CMP levels pursuant to the required catch-up 
adjustment. The Board is now issuing a new final rule to set the CMP 
levels pursuant to the required annual adjustment for 2017. The Board 
will apply these adjusted maximum penalty levels to any penalties 
assessed on or after January 15, 2017, whose associated violations 
occurred on or after November 2, 2015. Penalties assessed for 
violations occurring prior to November 2, 2015 will be subject to the 
amounts set in the Board's 2012 adjustment pursuant to the FCPIA 
Act.\3\

    Under the 2015 Act, the annual adjustment to be made for 2017 is 
the percentage by which the Consumer Price Index for the month of 
October 2016 exceeds the Consumer Price Index for the month of October 
2015. On December 16, 2016, as directed by the 2015 Act, the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) issued guidance to affected agencies on 
implementing the required annual adjustment which included the relevant 
inflation multiplier.\4\ Using OMB's multiplier, the Board calculated 
the adjusted penalties for its CMPs, rounding the penalties to the 
nearest dollar.\5\

Adjustment Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation

    \5\ Under the 2015 Act and implementing OMB guidance, agencies 
are not required to make an adjustment to a CMP if, during the 12 
months preceding the required adjustment, such penalty increased due 
to a law other than the 2015 Act by an amount greater than the 
amount of the required adjustment. No other laws have adjusted the 
CMPs within the Board's jurisdiction during the preceding 12 months.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment Received in Response to the July 20, 2016 Interim Final Rule

    The Board received one comment letter on behalf of International 
Bancshares Corporation (``IBC'') in response to the July 20, 2016 
interim final rule. IBC expressed disappointment that the Board 
published the new penalty levels through an interim final rule without 
engaging in prior notice and comment proceedings. As IBC itself 
acknowledged, however, the 2015 Act required the Board to adjust the 
penalties for the catch-up adjustment through an interim final 
rulemaking to take effect no later than August 1, 2016. IBC also 
expressed concern with many of the new maximum penalty amounts, urging 
the Board to exercise its discretion to ``withhold using its maximum 
penalty authority.'' Again, as IBC acknowledged, the Board calculated 
the new penalty amounts strictly in accordance with the 2015 Act and 
OMB's implementing guidance. Moreover, setting the new upper limits on 
penalties does not require the Board in any particular case to assess 
the maximum amounts.

Administrative Procedure Act

    The 2015 Act states that agencies shall make the annual adjustment

[[Page 8361]]

``notwithstanding section 553 of title 5, United States Code.'' 
Therefore, this rule is not subject to the provisions of the 
Administrative Procedure Act (the ``APA''), 5 U.S.C. 553, requiring 
notice, public participation, and deferred effective date.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires a 
regulatory flexibility analysis only for rules for which an agency is 
required to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking. Because 
the 2015 Act states that agencies' annual adjustments are to be made 
notwithstanding section 553 of title 5 of United States Code--the APA 
section requiring notice of proposed rulemaking--the Board is not 
publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking. Therefore, the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act does not apply.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    There is no collection of information required by this final rule 
that would be subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.
