FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 96
[GN Docket No. 12–354, FCC 15–47; 16–
55]
Amendment of the Commission’s
Rules With Regard to Operation in the
3550–3650 MHz Band
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; announcement of
effective date.
AGENCY:
The Federal Communications
Commission (Commission) is
announcing that three final rules that
appeared in the Federal Register as part
of the Commission’s rulemaking
Commercial Operations in the 3550–
3650 MHz Band do not need
information collection approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and are effective immediately.
This document is consistent with the
First Report and Order and Second
Report and Order, which stated that the
Commission would publish a document
in the Federal Register announcing
OMB approval and the effective date of
these rules.
DATES: 47 CFR 96.29 published at 80 FR
36164, June 23, 2015, and 47 CFR
96.17(b) and 47 CFR 96.3 published at
81 FR 49024, July 26, 2016, are effective
on January 9, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Becky Schwartz, Mobility Division,
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau,
FCC, (202) 418–7178. For additional
information concerning the information
collection requirements contained in the
First Report and Order or Second Report
and Order, contact Cathy Williams at

PRA@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The First
Report and Order, FCC 15–47,
published at 80 FR 36164, June 23,

not become effective until after the
Federal Register publication of the date
that OMB approved the resulting
modification of the information
collections under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) and effective date
of such modifications. The Second
Report and Order, GN Docket No. 12–
354, FCC 16–55, published at 81 FR
49024, July 26, 2016, stated that
modifications to section 96.17(b) and

PRA and the effective date of such
modifications. Because subsequent
review and consultation with OMB has
revealed that there is no existing

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
49 CFR Part 1022
[Docket No. EP 716 (Sub-No. 3)]
Civil Monetary Penalties—2018
Adjustment
Surface Transportation Board.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Surface Transportation
Board (Board) is issuing a final rule to
implement the annual inflationary
adjustment to its civil monetary
penalties, pursuant to the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
January 9, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Amy Ziehm: (202) 245–0391. Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) for the
hearing impaired: (800) 877–8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
2015 (2015 Act), enacted as part of the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, Public
Law 114–74, 129 Stat. 599, requires
agencies to adjust their civil penalties
for inflation annually, beginning on
January 15, 2017, and no later than
January 15 of every year thereafter. In
accordance with the 2015 Act, annual
inflation adjustments are to be based on
the percent change between the
Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (CPI–U) for October of the
previous year and the October CPI–U of
the year before that. Penalty level
adjustments should be rounded to the
nearest dollar.
II. Discussion
The statutory definition of civil
monetary penalty covers various civil
penalty provisions under the Rail (Part
A); Motor Carriers, Water Carriers,
Brokers, and Freight Forwarders (Part
B); and Pipeline Carriers (Part C)
E:\FR\FM\09JAR1.SGM
09JAR1
993
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 9, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
provisions of the Interstate Commerce
Act, as amended. The Board’s civil (and
criminal) penalty authority related to
rail transportation appears at 49 U.S.C.
11901–11908. The Board’s penalty
authority related to motor carriers, water
carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders
appears at 49 U.S.C. 14901–14915. The
Board’s penalty authority related to
pipeline carriers appears at 49 U.S.C.
16101–16106.1 The Board has
regulations at 49 CFR pt. 1022 that
codify the method set forth in the 2015
Act for annually adjusting for inflation
the civil monetary penalties within the
Board’s jurisdiction.
As set forth in this final rule, the
Board is amending 49 CFR pt. 1022 to
make an annual inflation adjustment to
the civil monetary penalties in
conformance with the requirements of
the 2015 Act. The adjusted penalties set
forth in the rule will apply only to
violations that occur after the effective
date of this regulation.
In accordance with the 2015 Act, the
annual adjustment adopted here is
calculated by multiplying each current
penalty by the cost-of-living adjustment
factor of 1.02041, which reflects the
percentage change between the October
2017 CPI–U (738.893) and the October
2016 CPI–U (724.113). The table at the
end of this decision shows the statutory
citation for each civil penalty, a
description of the provision, the current
baseline statutory civil penalty level,
and the adjusted statutory civil penalty
level for 2018.
III. Final Rule
The final rule set forth at the end of
this decision is being issued without
notice and comment pursuant to the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), which does not require
that process ‘‘when the agency for good
cause finds’’ that public notice and
comment are ‘‘unnecessary.’’ Here,
Congress has mandated that the agency
make an annual inflation adjustment to
its civil monetary penalties. The Board
has no discretion to set alternative
levels of adjusted civil monetary
penalties, because the amount of the
inflation adjustment must be calculated
in accordance with the statutory
formula. Given the absence of
discretion, the Board has determined
that there is good cause to promulgate
this rule without soliciting public
comment and to make this regulation
effective immediately upon publication.
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Statement
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA),
as amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., generally
requires an agency to prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule
subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements, unless the
agency certifies that the rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
Because the Board has determined that
notice and comment are not required
under the APA for this rulemaking, the
requirements of the RFA do not apply.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not contain a new
or amended information collection
requirement subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.
It is ordered:
U.S. Code citation
1. The Board amends its rules as set
forth in this decision. Notice of the final
rule will be published in the Federal
Register.
2. This decision is effective on its date
of service.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
49 CFR Part 1022
[Docket No. EP 716 (Sub-No. 3)]
Civil Monetary Penalties--2018 Adjustment
AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation Board (Board) is issuing a final
rule to implement the annual inflationary adjustment to its civil
monetary penalties, pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.
DATES: This final rule is effective on January 9, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Ziehm: (202) 245-0391. Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) for the hearing impaired: (800) 877-
8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements
Act of 2015 (2015 Act), enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2015, Public Law 114-74, 129 Stat. 599, requires agencies to adjust
their civil penalties for inflation annually, beginning on January 15,
2017, and no later than January 15 of every year thereafter. In
accordance with the 2015 Act, annual inflation adjustments are to be
based on the percent change between the Consumer Price Index for all
Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for October of the previous year and the
October CPI-U of the year before that. Penalty level adjustments should
be rounded to the nearest dollar.
II. Discussion
The statutory definition of civil monetary penalty covers various
civil penalty provisions under the Rail (Part A); Motor Carriers, Water
Carriers, Brokers, and Freight Forwarders (Part B); and Pipeline
Carriers (Part C)
[[Page 993]]
provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended. The Board's
civil (and criminal) penalty authority related to rail transportation
appears at 49 U.S.C. 11901-11908. The Board's penalty authority related
to motor carriers, water carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders
appears at 49 U.S.C. 14901-14915. The Board's penalty authority related
to pipeline carriers appears at 49 U.S.C. 16101-16106.\1\ The Board has
regulations at 49 CFR pt. 1022 that codify the method set forth in the
2015 Act for annually adjusting for inflation the civil monetary
penalties within the Board's jurisdiction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Board also has various criminal penalty authority,
enforceable in a federal criminal court. Congress has not, however,
authorized federal agencies to adjust statutorily prescribed
criminal penalty provisions for inflation, and this rule does not
address those provisions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As set forth in this final rule, the Board is amending 49 CFR pt.
1022 to make an annual inflation adjustment to the civil monetary
penalties in conformance with the requirements of the 2015 Act. The
adjusted penalties set forth in the rule will apply only to violations
that occur after the effective date of this regulation.
In accordance with the 2015 Act, the annual adjustment adopted here
is calculated by multiplying each current penalty by the cost-of-living
adjustment factor of 1.02041, which reflects the percentage change
between the October 2017 CPI-U (738.893) and the October 2016 CPI-U
(724.113). The table at the end of this decision shows the statutory
citation for each civil penalty, a description of the provision, the
current baseline statutory civil penalty level, and the adjusted
statutory civil penalty level for 2018.
III. Final Rule
The final rule set forth at the end of this decision is being
issued without notice and comment pursuant to the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), which does not require that
process ``when the agency for good cause finds'' that public notice and
comment are ``unnecessary.'' Here, Congress has mandated that the
agency make an annual inflation adjustment to its civil monetary
penalties. The Board has no discretion to set alternative levels of
adjusted civil monetary penalties, because the amount of the inflation
adjustment must be calculated in accordance with the statutory formula.
Given the absence of discretion, the Board has determined that there is
good cause to promulgate this rule without soliciting public comment
and to make this regulation effective immediately upon publication.
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Statement
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq., generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking
requirements, unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Because the Board has determined that notice and comment are not
required under the APA for this rulemaking, the requirements of the RFA
do not apply.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not contain a new or amended information
collection requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
It is ordered:
1. The Board amends its rules as set forth in this decision. Notice
of the final rule will be published in the Federal Register.
2. This decision is effective on its date of service.
