SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Under section 711 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which is adopted by reference in section 105 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and section 207(a)(1) of the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA), and implemented by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in 29 CFR 1601.30(a), every employer, employment agency, labor organization, and joint labormanagement committee controlling an apprenticeship or other training program covered by Title VII, ADA, or GINA, must post notices describing the pertinent provisions of these laws. Covered entities must post such notices in prominent and accessible places where they customarily maintain notices to employees, applicants, and members. 29 CFR 1601.30(a). Failure to comply with this posting requirement is subject to a monetary penalty. 29 CFR 1601.30(b). Section 5(b) of The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 2015 (2015 Act),1 which amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, requires the EEOC to annually adjust the amount of the penalty for non-compliance. Under the 2015 Act, the EEOC has no discretion over whether or how to calculate this inflationary adjustment. In accordance with section 6 of the 2015 Act, the EEOC will apply the adjusted penalty only to those assessed after the effective date of the adjustment. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 II. Calculation The adjustment set forth in this final rule was calculated by comparing the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI–U) for October 2021 with the CPI–U for October 2022, resulting in an inflation adjustment factor of 1.07745. The inflation adjustment factor (1.07745) is multiplied by the most recent civil penalty amount ($612) to calculate the inflation-adjusted penalty level ($659.3994), which is then rounded to the nearest dollar ($659). Accordingly, the Commission is now adjusting the maximum penalty per violation specified in 29 CFR 1601.30(a) from $612 to $659. 1 Public Law 114–74, Sec. 701(b), 129 Stat. 599. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:18 Mar 22, 2023 Jkt 259001 III. Regulatory Procedures Administrative Procedure Act The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) provides an exception to the notice and comment procedures where an agency finds good cause for dispensing with such procedures, on the basis that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). The Commission finds that this rule meets the exception because the 2015 Act requires an inflationary adjustment to the civil monetary penalty, it prescribes the formula for calculating the adjustment to the penalty, and it provides the Commission with no discretion in determining the amount of the published adjustment. Accordingly, the Commission is issuing this revised regulation as a final rule without notice and comment. Executive Order 12866 This rule is not a significant regulatory action as that term is defined in Executive Order 12866. Paperwork Reduction Act 17373 EEOC will submit this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to the effective date of the rule.

The authority citation for part 1601 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2000e to 2000e–17; 42 U.S.C. 12111 to 12117; 42 U.S.C. 2000ff to 2000ff–11; 28 U.S.C. 2461 note, as amended; Pub. L. 104–134, Sec. 31001(s)(1), 110 Stat. 1373. 2. Section 1601.30 is amended by revising paragraph (b) to read as follows: ■ This final rule contains no new information collection requirements, and therefore, will create no new paperwork burdens or modifications to existing burdens that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
