K. National Environmental Policy Act
This rule does not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the

is covered by a categorical exclusion.
This rule is excluded from the
requirement to prepare a detailed
statement because it is a regulation of an
administrative nature. (For further
information see 43 CFR 46.210(i).) We
have also determined that the rule does
not involve any of the extraordinary
circumstances listed in 43 CFR 46.215

M. Administrative Procedure Act
The Act requires agencies to publish
annual inflation adjustments by no later
than January 15 of each year,
notwithstanding section 553 of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553). OMB has interpreted this
direction to mean that the usual APA
public procedure for rulemaking—
which includes public notice of a
proposed rule, an opportunity for public
comment, and a delay in the effective
date of a final rule—is not required
when agencies issue regulations to
implement the annual adjustments to
civil penalties that the Act requires.
Accordingly, we are issuing the 2020
annual adjustments as a final rule
