If there is no increase, there is no adjustment of civil penalties.

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

SUMMARY: As required by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, entitled the 
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 
2015, the Railroad Retirement Board (Board) hereby publishes its 2023 
annual adjustment of civil penalties for inflation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter J. Orlowicz, Senior Counsel, 
Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North Rush Street, Chicago, IL 60611-
1275, (312) 751-4922, TTD (312) 751-4701.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 701 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 
2015, Public Law 114-74 (Nov. 2, 2015), entitled the Federal Civil 
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015 
Act), amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 
1990 (28 U.S.C. 2461 note) (Inflation Adjustment Act) to require 
agencies to publish regulations adjusting the amount of civil monetary 
penalties provided by law within the jurisdiction of the agency not 
later than January 15th of every year.
    For the 2023 annual adjustment for inflation of the maximum civil 
penalty under the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986, the Board 
applies the formula provided by the 2015 Act and the Board's 
regulations at title 20, Code of Federal Regulations, part 356. In 
accordance with the 2015 Act, the amount of the adjustment is based on 
the percent increase between the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for the 
month of October preceding the date of the adjustment and the CPI-U for 
the October one year prior to the October immediately preceding the 
date of the adjustment. If there is no increase, there is no adjustment 
of civil penalties. The percent increase between the CPI-U for October 
2022 and October 2023, as provided by Office of Management and Budget 
Memorandum M-23-05 (December 15, 2022) is 1.07745 percent. Therefore, 
the new maximum penalty under the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act is 
$13,508 (the 2022 maximum penalty of $12,537 multiplied by 1.07745, 
rounded to the nearest dollar). The new minimum penalty under the False 
Claims Act is $13,508 (the 2022 minimum penalty of $12,537 multiplied 
by 1.07745, rounded to the nearest dollar), and the new maximum penalty 
is $27,018 (the 2022 maximum penalty of $25,076 multiplied by 1.07745, 
rounded to the nearest dollar). The adjustments in penalties will be 
effective December 27, 2022.

    Dated: December 21, 2022.

    By Authority of the Board.

Secretary to the Board.
