ACTION: Notification of monetary penalties 2021. AGENCY: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is providing notice of its maximum civil money penalties as adjusted for inflation. The inflation adjustments are required to implement the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015. DATES: The adjusted maximum amount of civil money penalties in this SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 86795 document are applicable to penalties assessed on or after January 1, 2021, for conduct occurring on or after November 2, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lee Walzer, Counsel, Chief Counsel’s Office, (202) 649–5490, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document announces changes to the maximum amount of each civil money penalty (CMP) within the OCC’s jurisdiction to administer to account for inflation pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (the 1990 Adjustment Act),1 as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015 Adjustment Act).2 Under the 1990 Adjustment Act, as amended, Federal agencies must make annual adjustments to the maximum amount of each CMP they administer. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to issue guidance to Federal agencies no later than December 15 of each year providing an inflation adjustment multiplier (i.e., the inflation adjustment factor agencies must use) applicable to CMPs assessed in the following year. The agencies are required to publish their CMPs, adjusted pursuant to the multiplier provided by OMB, by January 15 of the applicable year. To the extent an agency has codified a CMP amount in its regulations, the agency would need to update that amount by regulation. However, if an agency has codified the formula for making the CMP adjustments, then subsequent adjustments can be made solely by notice.3 In 2018, the OCC published a final regulation to remove the CMP amounts from its regulations, while updating those amounts for inflation through the notification process.4 On December 23, 2020, the OMB issued guidance to affected agencies on implementing the required annual adjustment, which included the relevant inflation multiplier.5 The OCC has 1 Public Law 101–410, Oct. 5, 1990, 104 Stat. 890, codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note. 2 Public Law 114–74, Title VII, section 701(b), Nov. 2, 2015, 129 Stat. 599, codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note. 3 See OMB Memorandum M–18–03, ‘‘Implementation of the 2018 Annual Adjustment Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015,’’ at 4, which permits agencies that have codified the formula to adjust CMPs for inflation to update the penalties through a notification rather than a regulation. 4 83 FR 1517 (Jan. 12, 2018) (final rule); 83 FR 1657 (Jan. 12, 2018) (2018 CMP Notice). 5 The inflation adjustment multiplier for 2021 is 1.01182 .

Notification of Inflation Adjustments for Civil Money Penalties

AGENCY: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury.

ACTION: Notification of monetary penalties 2021.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is 
providing notice of its maximum civil money penalties as adjusted for 
inflation. The inflation adjustments are required to implement the 
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by 
the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act 
of 2015.

DATES: The adjusted maximum amount of civil money penalties in this 
document are applicable to penalties assessed on or after January 1, 
2021, for conduct occurring on or after November 2, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lee Walzer, Counsel, Chief Counsel's 
Office, (202) 649-5490, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document announces changes to the 
maximum amount of each civil money penalty (CMP) within the OCC's 
jurisdiction to administer to account for inflation pursuant to the 
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (the 1990 
Adjustment Act),\1\ as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015 Adjustment Act).\2\ 
Under the 1990 Adjustment Act, as amended, Federal agencies must make 
annual adjustments to the maximum amount of each CMP they administer. 
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to issue guidance 
to Federal agencies no later than December 15 of each year providing an 
inflation adjustment multiplier (i.e., the inflation adjustment factor 
agencies must use) applicable to CMPs assessed in the following year. 
The agencies are required to publish their CMPs, adjusted pursuant to 
the multiplier provided by OMB, by January 15 of the applicable year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 101-410, Oct. 5, 1990, 104 Stat. 890, codified at 
28 U.S.C. 2461 note.
    \2\ Public Law 114-74, Title VII, section 701(b), Nov. 2, 2015, 
129 Stat. 599, codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To the extent an agency has codified a CMP amount in its 
regulations, the agency would need to update that amount by regulation. 
However, if an agency has codified the formula for making the CMP 
adjustments, then subsequent adjustments can be made solely by 
notice.\3\ In 2018, the OCC published a final regulation to remove the 
CMP amounts from its regulations, while updating those amounts for 
inflation through the notification process.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See OMB Memorandum M-18-03, ``Implementation of the 2018 
Annual Adjustment Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015,'' at 4, which permits 
agencies that have codified the formula to adjust CMPs for inflation 
to update the penalties through a notification rather than a 
regulation.
    \4\ 83 FR 1517 (Jan. 12, 2018) (final rule); 83 FR 1657 (Jan. 
12, 2018) (2018 CMP Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 23, 2020, the OMB issued guidance to affected agencies 
on implementing the required annual adjustment, which included the 
relevant inflation multiplier.\5\ The OCC has

[[Page 86796]]

applied that multiplier to the maximum CMPs allowable in 2020 for 
national banks and Federal savings associations as listed in the 2020 
CMP notification \6\ to calculate the maximum amount of CMPs that may 
be assessed by the OCC in 2021.\7\ There were no new statutory CMPs 
administered by the OCC during 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The inflation adjustment multiplier for 2021 is 1.01182 . 
See OMB Memorandum M-21-10, Implementation of Penalty Inflation 
Adjustments for 2021, Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties 
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Dec. 23, 2020).
    \6\ See 84 FR 71735 (Dec. 30, 2019).
    \7\ Penalties assessed for violations occurring prior to 
November 2, 2015, will be subject to the maximum amounts set forth 
in the OCC's regulations in effect prior to the enactment of the 
2015 Adjustment Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following charts provide the inflation-adjusted CMPs for use 
beginning on January 1, 2021, pursuant to 12 CFR 19.240(b) and 
109.103(c)(2) for conduct occurring on or after November 2, 2015:
