SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 2, 2015, President Barack
Obama signed the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015
Inflation Act). Public Law 114–74, sec.
701. This amended the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of
1990 (Inflation Act) that required each
agency to (1) adjust by regulation each
maximum civil monetary penalty
(CMP), or range of minimum and
maximum CMPs, within that agency’s
jurisdiction by October 23, 1996, and (2)
adjust those penalty amounts once every
four years thereafter, to reflect inflation.
See Public Law 101–410, 104 Stat. 890,
28 U.S.C. 2461, note, as amended by
sec. 31001(s)(1) of the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996, Public Law
104–134, April 26, 1996, 110 Stat. 1321–
373. Under the 2015 Inflation Act,
agencies must make annual inflation
adjustments, starting January 15, 2017,
based on Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) guidance.
In the 2015 Inflation Act, Congress
recognized the important role CMPs
play in deterring violations of Federal
laws, regulations, and orders and
determined that inflation has
diminished the impact of these
penalties. In the Inflation Act, Congress
countered the effect that inflation has
had on the CMPs by having the agencies
charged with enforcement responsibility
administratively adjust the CMPs.
FRA is authorized as the delegate of
the Secretary of Transportation
(Secretary) to enforce the Federal
railroad safety statutes, regulations, and
orders, including the civil penalty
provisions codified primarily at 49
U.S.C. ch. 213. See 49 U.S.C. 103 and
49 CFR 1.89; 49 U.S.C. chs. 201–213.
FRA currently has safety regulations in
34 parts of the CFR that contain
