SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (the ‘‘Inflation Adjustment Act’’),1 as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the ‘‘2015 Act’’),2 requires Federal agencies, including the Commission, to adjust for inflation the civil monetary penalties within their jurisdiction according to prescribed formulas. A civil monetary penalty is ‘‘any penalty, fine, or other sanction’’ that (1) ‘‘is for a specific monetary amount’’ or ‘‘has a maximum amount’’ under Federal law; and (2) that a Federal agency assesses or enforces ‘‘pursuant to an administrative proceeding or a civil action’’ in Federal court.3 Under the Federal Election Campaign Act, 52 U.S.C. 30101–45 (‘‘FECA’’), the Commission may seek and assess civil monetary penalties for violations of FECA, the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act, 26 U.S.C. 9001–13, and the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account Act, 26 U.S.C. 9031–42. The Inflation Adjustment Act requires Federal agencies to adjust their civil penalties annually, and the adjustments must take effect no later than January 15 of every year.4 Pursuant to guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget,5 the Commission is now adjusting its civil monetary penalties for 2021.6 The Commission must adjust for inflation its civil monetary penalties ‘‘notwithstanding Section 553’’ of the Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’).7 Thus, the APA’s notice-andcomment and delayed effective date requirements in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)–(d) do 1 Public Law 101–410, 104 Stat. 890 (codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note), amended by Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, Public Law 104–134, sec. 31001(s)(1), 110 Stat. 1321, 1321–373; Federal Reports Elimination Act of 1998, Public Law 105– 362, sec. 1301, 112 Stat. 3280. 2 Public Law 114–74, sec. 701, 129 Stat. 584, 599. 3 Inflation Adjustment Act sec. 3(2). 4 Inflation Adjustment Act sec. 4(a). 5 See Inflation Adjustment Act sec. 7(a) (requiring OMB to ‘‘issue guidance to agencies on implementing the inflation adjustments required under this Act’’); see also Memorandum from Russell T.
