SUMMARY:
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act
The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act of 1990, 28 U.S.C. 2461
note (‘‘FCPIA Act’’), requires Federal
agencies to adjust, by regulation, the
CMPs within their jurisdiction to
account for inflation. The Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (the ‘‘2015
Act’’) 1 amended the FCPIA Act to
require Federal agencies to make annual
adjustments not later than January 15 of
every year.2 The Board is now issuing a
1 Public Law 114–74, 129 Stat. 599 (2015)
(codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note).

new final rule to set the CMP levels
pursuant to the required annual
adjustment for 2023. The Board will
apply these adjusted maximum penalty
levels to any penalties assessed on or
after January 11, 2023, whose associated
violations occurred on or after
November 2, 2015. Penalties assessed
for violations occurring prior to
November 2, 2015, will be subject to the
amounts set in the Board’s 2012
adjustment pursuant to the FCPIA Act.3
Under the 2015 Act, the annual
adjustment to be made for 2023 is the
percentage by which the Consumer
Price Index for the month of October
2022 exceeds the Consumer Price Index
for the month of October 2021. On
December 15, 2022, as directed by the
2015 Act, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) issued guidance to
affected agencies on implementing the
required annual adjustment which
included the relevant inflation
multiplier.4 Using OMB’s multiplier, the
Board calculated the adjusted penalties
for its CMPs, rounding the penalties to
the nearest dollar.5
Administrative Procedure Act
The 2015 Act states that agencies
shall make the annual adjustment
‘‘notwithstanding section 553 of title 5,
United States Code.’’ Therefore, this
rule is not subject to the provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act (the
‘‘APA’’), 5 U.S.C. 553, requiring notice,
public participation, and deferred
effective date.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires a regulatory
flexibility analysis only for rules for
which an agency is required to publish
a general notice of proposed
rulemaking. Because the 2015 Act states
that agencies’ annual adjustments are to
be made notwithstanding section 553 of
title 5 of United States Code—the APA
3 77
FR 68680 (Nov. 16, 2012).
Memorandum M–23–05, Implementation
of Penalty Inflation Adjustments for 2023, Pursuant
to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment
Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Dec. 15, 2022).
5 Under the 2015 Act and implementing OMB
guidance, agencies are not required to make an
adjustment to a CMP if, during the 12 months
preceding the required adjustment, such penalty
increased due to a law other than the 2015 Act by
an amount greater than the amount of the required
adjustment. No other laws have adjusted the CMPs
within the Board’s jurisdiction during the preceding
12 months.

section requiring notice of proposed
rulemaking—the Board is not
publishing a notice of proposed
rulemaking. Therefore, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply.
Paperwork Reduction Act
There is no collection of information
required by this final rule that would be
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

(a) Inflation adjustments. In

Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015, which
further amended the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of
1990, the Board has set forth in
paragraph (b) of this section the
adjusted maximum amounts for each
civil money penalty provided by law
within the Board’s jurisdiction. The

Board may seek a civil money penalty.
The adjusted civil money penalties
apply only to penalties assessed on or
after January 11, 2023, whose associated
violations occurred on or after
November 2, 2015.
(b) Maximum civil money penalties.

Calculation of Inflation Adjustments
The FCPIAA, as amended, directs
Federal agencies to adjust each civil
monetary penalty under their
jurisdiction for inflation in January of
each year pursuant to a cost-of-living
adjustment.4 The cost-of-living
adjustment is based on the percent
change between the U.S. Department of
Labor’s Consumer Price Index for allurban consumers (‘‘CPI–U’’) for the
month of October preceding the date of
the adjustment, and the CPI–U for
October of the prior year.5 Based on that
formula, the cost-of-living adjustment
multiplier for 2023 is 1.07745. The
FCPIAA also directs that these penalty
level adjustments should be rounded to
the nearest dollar. Agencies do not have
discretion over whether to adjust a
maximum civil penalty, or the method
used to determine the adjustment.
The following chart illustrates the
application of these adjustments to the
civil monetary penalties under the
Commission’s jurisdiction.

provided by law within its jurisdiction to account for inflation as
required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, 28
U.S.C. 2461 note (``FCPIA Act''), requires Federal agencies to adjust,
by regulation, the CMPs within their jurisdiction to account for
inflation. The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (the ``2015 Act'') \1\ amended the FCPIA Act
to require Federal agencies to make annual adjustments not later than
January 15 of every year.\2\ The Board is now issuing a new final rule
to set the CMP levels pursuant to the required annual adjustment for
2023. The Board will apply these adjusted maximum penalty levels to any
penalties assessed on or after January 11, 2023, whose associated
violations occurred on or after November 2, 2015. Penalties assessed
for violations occurring prior to November 2, 2015, will be subject to
the amounts set in the Board's 2012 adjustment pursuant to the FCPIA
Act.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the 2015 Act, the annual adjustment to be made for 2023 is
the percentage by which the Consumer Price Index for the month of
October 2022 exceeds the Consumer Price Index for the month of October
2021. On December 15, 2022, as directed by the 2015 Act, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) issued guidance to affected agencies on
implementing the required annual adjustment which included the relevant
inflation multiplier.\4\ Using OMB's multiplier, the Board calculated
the adjusted penalties for its CMPs, rounding the penalties to the
nearest dollar.\5\

Adjustments for 2023, Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Dec. 15, 2022).
\5\ Under the 2015 Act and implementing OMB guidance, agencies
are not required to make an adjustment to a CMP if, during the 12
months preceding the required adjustment, such penalty increased due
to a law other than the 2015 Act by an amount greater than the
amount of the required adjustment. No other laws have adjusted the
CMPs within the Board's jurisdiction during the preceding 12 months.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Administrative Procedure Act
The 2015 Act states that agencies shall make the annual adjustment
``notwithstanding section 553 of title 5, United States Code.''
Therefore, this rule is not subject to the provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act (the ``APA''), 5 U.S.C. 553, requiring
notice, public participation, and deferred effective date.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires a
regulatory flexibility analysis only for rules for which an agency is
required to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking. Because
the 2015 Act states that agencies' annual adjustments are to be made
notwithstanding section 553 of title 5 of United States Code--the APA
section requiring notice of proposed rulemaking--the Board is not
publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking. Therefore, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply.
Paperwork Reduction Act
There is no collection of information required by this final rule
that would be subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

Sec. 263.65 Civil money penalty inflation adjustments.

assessed on or after January 11, 2023, whose associated violations
occurred on or after November 2, 2015.

12 U.S.C. 334 and 1832(c), fixed) civil
