SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background PART 200—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION § 200.11 Notification of civil monetary penalty adjustment. ACTION: Jkt 253001 Statutory Authority for Federal Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustments The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (the Inflation Adjustment Act), Public Law 101–410, 104 Stat. 890, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note, as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, Public Law 114–74, section 701, 129 Stat. 584, requires the regular adjustment and evaluation of civil monetary penalties to maintain their deterrent effect and helps to ensure that penalty amounts imposed by the Federal Government are properly accounted for and collected. A ‘‘civil monetary penalty’’ is defined in the Inflation Adjustment Act as any penalty, fine, or other such sanction that is: (1) For a specific monetary amount as provided by Federal law, or has a maximum amount provided for by Federal law; (2) assessed or enforced by an agency pursuant to Federal law; and (3) assessed or enforced pursuant to an administrative proceeding or a civil action in the Federal courts. The Inflation Adjustment Act, as amended, requires agencies to adjust civil monetary penalties annually by the inflation adjustment described in section 5 of the Inflation Adjustment Act. The Act also provides that any increase in a civil monetary penalty shall apply only to civil monetary penalties, including those whose PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 22867 associated violation predated such an increase, which are assessed after the date the increase takes effect. The Inflation Adjustment Act, as amended, provides that the inflation adjustment does not apply to civil monetary penalties under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or the Tariff Act of 1930. Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) administers the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) pursuant to section 1111(d) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, codified at 6 U.S.C. 531(d). The Secretary has delegated various authorities through Treasury Department Order 120–01, dated December 10, 2013 (superseding Treasury Department Order 120–01, dated January 24, 2003), to the TTB Administrator to perform the functions and duties in the administration and enforcement of this law. The FAA Act contains the Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act (ABLA) of 1988, Public Law 100–690, 27 U.S.C. 213– 219a, which was enacted on November 18, 1988. Section 204 of the ABLA, codified in 27 U.S.C. 215, requires that a health warning statement appear on the labels of all containers of alcoholic beverages manufactured, imported, or bottled for sale or distribution in the United States, as well as on containers of alcoholic beverages that are manufactured, imported, bottled, or labeled for sale, distribution, or shipment to members or units of the U.S. Armed Forces, including those located outside the United States. The health warning statement requirement applies to containers of alcoholic beverages manufactured, imported, or bottled for sale or distribution in the United States on or after November 18, 1989. The statement reads as follows: GOVERNMENT WARNING: (1) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. (2) Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems. Section 204 of the ABLA also specifies that the Secretary of the Treasury shall have the power to ensure the enforcement of the provisions of the ABLA and issue regulations to carry them out. In addition, section 207 of the ABLA, codified in 27 U.S.C. 218, provides that any person who violates the provisions of the ABLA is subject to a civil penalty of not more than $10,000, with each day constituting a separate offense.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Executive Order 13992, ``Revocation of 
Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation,'' issued by 
President Biden on January 20, 2021, this final rule rescinds the 
Railroad Retirement Board's rule on guidance.

DATES: This final rule is effective April 30, 2021.

General Counsel, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North Rush Street, 
Chicago, Illinois 60611-1275, telephone (312) 751-4945, TTD (312) 751-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 28, 2020, the Railroad Retirement 
Board published an interim final rule on guidance implementing 
Executive Order 13891, ``Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved 
Agency Guidance Documents,'' signed by President Donald Trump on 
October 9, 2019 (85 FR 53160). As required by the Executive Order, the 
rule contained policy and requirements for issuing, modifying, 
withdrawing, and using guidance, making guidance available to the 
public, a notice and comment process for significant guidance, and 
taking and responding to petitions about guidance. On January 20, 2021, 
President Joseph Biden issued Executive Order 13992, ``Revocation of 
Certain Executive Orders

[[Page 22867]]

Concerning Federal Regulation'' which among other things, revoked 
Executive Order 13891 and directed agencies to take steps promptly to 
rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies, or 
portions thereof, implementing or enforcing the revoked Executive 
Orders (86 FR 7049).
    In order to comply with Executive Order 13992, the Railroad 
Retirement Board has determined that this rule is suitable for final 
rulemaking. The Railroad Retirement Board also finds good cause to 
provide for an immediate effective date for this rule, because it 
imposes no obligations on parties inside or outside the federal 
government and therefore no advance notice is required to enable 
employees or other private parties to come into compliance.
