SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On November 2, 2015, the President
signed into law the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (Sec. 701 of
Pub. L. 114–74) (‘‘the Act’’). The Act
requires Federal agencies to adjust the
level of civil monetary penalties with an
initial ‘‘catch-up’’ adjustment through
rulemaking and then make subsequent
annual adjustments for inflation no later
than January 15 of each year.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) issued guidance for Federal
agencies on calculating the catch-up
adjustment. See February 24, 2016,
Memorandum for the Heads of
Executive Departments and Agencies,
from Shaun Donovan, Director, Office of
Management and Budget, re:
Implementation of the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (M–16–06).
Under the guidance, the U.S.
Department of the Interior (Department)
identified applicable civil monetary
penalties and calculated the catch-up
adjustment. A civil monetary penalty is
any assessment with a dollar amount
that is levied for a violation of a Federal
civil statute or regulation, and is
assessed or enforceable through a civil
action in Federal court or an
administrative proceeding. A civil
monetary penalty does not include a
penalty levied for violation of a criminal
statute, or fees for services, licenses,
permits, or other regulatory review. The
calculated catch-up adjustment was
based on the percent change between
the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (CPI0–U) for the month of
October in the year of the previous
adjustment (or in the year of
establishment, if no adjustment has
been made) and the October 2015 CPI–
U.
The Department issued an interim
final rule providing for calculated catchup adjustments to civil monetary
penalties contained in regulations
