Inflation Adjustment of Civil Monetary Penalties, 2229-2234 [2023-00593]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 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. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 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. Most of the civil monetary penalties administered by TTB are imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and thus are not subject to the inflation adjustment mandated by the Inflation Adjustment Act. The only civil monetary penalty enforced by TTB that is subject to the inflation adjustment is the penalty imposed by the ABLA at 27 U.S.C. 218. TTB Regulations The TTB regulations implementing the ABLA are found in 27 CFR part 16, and the regulations implementing the Inflation Adjustment Act with respect to the ABLA penalty are found in 27 CFR 16.33. This section indicates that, in accordance with the ABLA, any person who violates the provisions of this part is subject to a civil penalty of not more than $10,000. Further, pursuant to the provisions of the Inflation Adjustment Act, as amended, this civil penalty is subject to periodic cost-of-living adjustments. Accordingly, any person who violates the provisions of 27 CFR part 16 is subject to a civil penalty of not more than the amount listed at https://www.ttb.gov/regulation_ guidance/ablapenalty.html. Each day constitutes a separate offense. To adjust the penalty, § 16.33(b) indicates that TTB will provide notice VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:24 Jan 12, 2023 Jkt 259001 in the Federal Register and at the website mentioned above of cost-ofliving adjustments to the civil penalty for violations of 27 CFR part 16. Penalty Adjustment In this document, TTB is publishing its yearly adjustment to the maximum ABLA penalty, as required by the amended Inflation Adjustment Act. As mentioned earlier, the ABLA contains a maximum civil monetary penalty. For such penalties, section 5 of the Inflation Adjustment Act indicates that the inflation adjustment is determined by increasing the maximum penalty by the cost-of-living adjustment. The cost-of-living adjustment means the percentage increase (if any) between the Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers (CPI–U) for the October preceding the date of the adjustment and the prior year’s October CPI–U. The CPI–U in October 2021 was 276.589, and the CPI–U in October 2022 was 298.012. The rate of inflation between October 2021 and October 2022 was therefore 7.745 percent. When applied to the current ABLA penalty of $22,979, this rate of inflation yields a raw (unrounded) inflation adjustment of $1,779.72355. Rounded to the nearest dollar, the inflation adjustment is $1,780, meaning that the new maximum civil penalty for violations of the ABLA will be $24,759. The new maximum civil penalty will apply to all penalties that are assessed after January 13, 2023. TTB has also updated its web page at https:// www.ttb.gov/regulation_guidance/ ablapenalty.html to reflect the adjusted penalty. Dated: January 9, 2023. Amy R.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 2229 Control (OFAC) is issuing this final rule to adjust certain civil monetary penalties for inflation pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015. DATES: This rule is effective January 13, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: OFAC: Assistant Director for Licensing, 202–622–2480; Assistant Director for Regulatory Affairs, 202–622–4855; Assistant Director for Sanctions Compliance & Evaluation, 202–622– 2490. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Electronic Availability This document and additional information concerning OFAC are available from OFAC’s website (www.treas.gov/ofac). Background Section 4 of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act (1990 Pub. L. 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 (Pub. L. 114–74, 129 Stat. 599, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note) (the FCPIA Act), requires each federal agency with statutory authority to assess civil monetary penalties (CMPs) to adjust CMPs annually for inflation according to a formula described in section 5 of the FCPIA Act. One purpose of the FCPIA Act is to ensure that CMPs continue to maintain their deterrent effect through periodic cost-of-living based adjustments. OFAC has adjusted its CMPs eight times since the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act went into effect on November 2, 2015: an initial catch-up adjustment on August 1, 2016 (81 FR 43070, July 1, 2016); an additional initial catch-up adjustment related to CMPs for failure to comply with a requirement to furnish information, the late filing of a required report, and failure to maintain records (‘‘recordkeeping CMPs’’) that were inadvertently omitted from the August 1, 2016 initial catch-up adjustment on October 5, 2020 (85 FR 54911, September 3, 2020); and annual adjustments on February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10434, February 10, 2017); March 19, 2018 (83 FR 11876, March 19, 2018); June 14, 2019 (84 FR 27714, June 14, 2019); April 9, 2020 (85 FR 19884, April 9, 2020); March 17, 2021 (86 FR 14534, March 17, 2021); and February 9, 2022 (87 FR 7369, February 9, 2022). E:\FR\FM\13JAR1.SGM 13JAR1 2230 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 2023 / Rules and Regulations Method of Calculation The method of calculating CMP adjustments applied in this final rule is required by the FCPIA Act. Under the FCPIA Act and the Office of Management and Budget guidance required by the FCPIA Act, annual inflation adjustments subsequent to the initial catch-up adjustment are to be based on the percent change between the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (‘‘CPI–U’’) for the October preceding the date of the adjustment and the prior year’s October CPI–U. As set forth in Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M–23–05 of December 15, 2022, the adjustment multiplier for 2023 is 1.07745. In order to complete the 2023 annual adjustment, each current CMP is multiplied by the 2023 adjustment multiplier. Under the FCPIA Act, any increase in CMP must be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1. New Penalty Amounts OFAC imposes CMPs pursuant to the penalty authority in five statutes: the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. 4301–4341, at 4315) (TWEA); the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706, at 1705) (IEEPA); the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. 2339B) (AEDPA); the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (21 U.S.C. 1901–1908, at 1906) (FNKDA); and the Clean Diamond Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 3901–3913, at 3907) (CDTA). The table below summarizes the existing and new maximum CMP amounts for each statute.

L. 114–74, 129 Stat. 599; 28 U.S.C. 2461 note). As such, this final rule is being issued without prior public notice or opportunity for public comment, with an effective date of January 13, 2023.

Inflation Adjustment of Civil Monetary Penalties

AGENCY: Office of Foreign Assets Control, Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (OFAC) is issuing this final rule to adjust certain civil 
monetary penalties for inflation pursuant to the Federal Civil 
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal 
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.

DATES: This rule is effective January 13, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: OFAC: Assistant Director for 
Licensing, 202-622-2480; Assistant Director for Regulatory Affairs, 
202-622-4855; Assistant Director for Sanctions Compliance & Evaluation,

    This document and additional information concerning OFAC are 
available from OFAC's website (www.treas.gov/ofac).

Background

    Section 4 of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 
(1990 Pub. L. 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 (Pub. L. 114-74, 129 Stat. 599, 28 U.S.C. 2461 note) (the 
FCPIA Act), requires each federal agency with statutory authority to 
assess civil monetary penalties (CMPs) to adjust CMPs annually for 
inflation according to a formula described in section 5 of the FCPIA 
Act. One purpose of the FCPIA Act is to ensure that CMPs continue to 
maintain their deterrent effect through periodic cost-of-living based 
adjustments.
    OFAC has adjusted its CMPs eight times since the Federal Civil 
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act went into effect on 
November 2, 2015: an initial catch-up adjustment on August 1, 2016 (81 
FR 43070, July 1, 2016); an additional initial catch-up adjustment 
related to CMPs for failure to comply with a requirement to furnish 
information, the late filing of a required report, and failure to 
maintain records (``recordkeeping CMPs'') that were inadvertently 
omitted from the August 1, 2016 initial catch-up adjustment on October 
5, 2020 (85 FR 54911, September 3, 2020); and annual adjustments on 
February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10434, February 10, 2017); March 19, 2018 (83 
FR 11876, March 19, 2018); June 14, 2019 (84 FR 27714, June 14, 2019); 
April 9, 2020 (85 FR 19884, April 9, 2020); March 17, 2021 (86 FR 
14534, March 17, 2021); and February 9, 2022 (87 FR 7369, February 9, 
2022).

[[Page 2230]]

Method of Calculation

    The method of calculating CMP adjustments applied in this final 
rule is required by the FCPIA Act. Under the FCPIA Act and the Office 
of Management and Budget guidance required by the FCPIA Act, annual 
inflation adjustments subsequent to the initial catch-up adjustment are 
to be based on the percent change between the Consumer Price Index for 
all Urban Consumers (``CPI-U'') for the October preceding the date of 
the adjustment and the prior year's October CPI-U. As set forth in 
Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-23-05 of December 15, 
2022, the adjustment multiplier for 2023 is 1.07745. In order to 
complete the 2023 annual adjustment, each current CMP is multiplied by 
the 2023 adjustment multiplier. Under the FCPIA Act, any increase in 
CMP must be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1.

New Penalty Amounts

    OFAC imposes CMPs pursuant to the penalty authority in five 
statutes: the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. 4301-4341, at 4315) 
(TWEA); the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
1701-1706, at 1705) (IEEPA); the Antiterrorism and Effective Death 
Penalty Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. 2339B) (AEDPA); the Foreign Narcotics 
Kingpin Designation Act (21 U.S.C. 1901-1908, at 1906) (FNKDA); and the 
Clean Diamond Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 3901-3913, at 3907) (CDTA).
    The table below summarizes the existing and new maximum CMP amounts 
for each statute.

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

    In addition to updating these maximum CMP amounts, OFAC is also 
updating two references to one-half the IEEPA maximum CMP from $165,474 
to $178,290, and is adjusting the recordkeeping CMP amounts found in 
OFAC's Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines in appendix A to 31 
CFR part 501. The table below summarizes the existing and new maximum 
CMP amounts for OFAC's recordkeeping CMPs.

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

Public Participation

    The FCPIA Act expressly exempts this final rule from the notice and 
comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act by directing 
agencies to adjust CMPs for inflation ``notwithstanding section 553 of 
title 5, United States Code'' (Pub. L. 114-74, 129 Stat. 599; 28 U.S.C. 
2461 note). As such, this final rule is being issued without prior 
public notice or opportunity for public comment, with an effective date 
of January 13, 2023.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the 
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do 
not apply.

Executive Order 12866

    This rule is not a significant action as defined in section 3.f. of 
Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, ``Regulatory Planning and 
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this rule does 
not impose information collection requirements that would require the 
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.
