Civil Penalty Adjustments for 2024

Arts and the Humanities.
ACTION: Notice of civil penalty
adjustments for 2024.
AGENCY:
The National Endowment for
the Humanities (NEH) is giving notice of
the adjusted maximum and minimum
civil monetary penalties that may be
imposed for violations of its New
Restrictions on Lobbying and Program
Fraud Civil Remedies Act regulations to
reflect the requirements of the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
of 1990, as amended by the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015. The updated
penalty amounts are adjusted for
inflation and are effective from January
15, 2024, through January 14, 2025.
DATES: The updated civil penalties in
this notice are applicable to penalties
assessed on or after January 15, 2024, if
the associated violations occurred after
November 2, 2015.

SUMMARY:
1. Background
The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by
the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:31 Jan 10, 2024
Jkt 262001
2015 (the Inflation Adjustment Act) 1
directs each Executive agency to make
an annual inflation adjustment for each
civil monetary penalty provided by law
within the jurisdiction of the agency,
and to publish notice of each such
adjustment in the Federal Register. An
agency adjusts a civil monetary penalty
by increasing the maximum amount of
such penalty (or the range of minimum
and maximum amounts, as applicable)
by the percentage by which the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI–U) for the month of
October preceding the date of
adjustment (in this case, October 2023)
exceeds the CPI–U for the October one
year prior to the October immediately
preceding the date of the adjustment (in
this case, October 2022), then rounding
each amount to the nearest dollar.
NEH administers two civil monetary
penalties subject to adjustment pursuant
to the Inflation Adjustment Act: A civil
monetary penalty that NEH may impose
for violation of its New Restrictions on
Lobbying regulation (the Lobbying Civil
Monetary Penalty) 2 and a civil
monetary penalty that NEH may impose
under its Program Fraud Civil Remedies
Act Regulations (the PFCRA Civil
Monetary Penalty).3 NEH made the
initial ‘‘catch-up’’ adjustments to the
Lobbying Civil Monetary Penalty for
years 2016–2020 when it amended its
New Restrictions on Lobbying
regulation on April 21, 2020,4 and to the
PFCRA Civil Monetary Penalty for years
2016–2021 when it adopted its Program
Fraud Civil Monetary Penalties Act
regulations on August 13, 2021.5 NEH
then adjusted the amount of those civil
monetary penalties accordingly when it
codified the statutory formula for
inflation adjustments in NEH’s New
Restrictions on Lobbying and Program
Fraud Civil Remedies Act regulations on
March 30, 2023.6 Each regulation
provides for subsequent annual
adjustment of its respective civil
monetary penalty by notice in the
Federal Register.7
annual adjustment is 1.03241.9 The
post-adjustment penalty or range is
obtained by multiplying the preadjustment penalty or range by the
percent change in the CPI–U over the
relevant time period and rounding to
the nearest dollar. Between October
2022 and October 2023, the CPI–U
increased by a multiplier of 103.241%
Therefore, NEH will adjust each civil
monetary penalty amount by
multiplying it by 1.03241 and rounding
to the nearest dollar.

A. 2024 Adjustment To Lobbying Civil
Monetary Penalty
For 2023, the Lobbying Civil
Monetary Penalty had a minimum
amount of $23,727 and a maximum
amount of $237,268. Therefore, the
adjusted minimum Lobbying Civil
Monetary Penalty for 2024 is $24,496
($23,727 multiplied by 1.03241) and the
adjusted maximum Lobbying Civil
Monetary Penalty for 2024 is $244,958
($237,268 multiplied by 1.03241).
Thus, the Lobbying Civil Monetary
Penalty, following the 2024 adjustment,
has a minimum amount of $24,496 and
a maximum amount of $244,958.
B. 2024 Adjustment to PFCRA Civil
Monetary Penalty
For 2023, the PFCRA Civil Monetary
Penalty had a maximum amount of
$13,508. Therefore, the new, postadjustment maximum penalty for 2024
under NEH’s PFCRA regulation is
$13,946 ($13,508 multiplied by
1.03241).

Specifically, PC–19, entitled ‘‘Office of

two new routine uses at paragraphs M
and N:
‘‘(M). Disclosure to all appropriate

the Peace Corps suspects or has
confirmed that there has been a breach
of the system of records; (2) the Peace

there is a risk of harm to individuals,
the Peace Corps (including its
information systems, programs, and
operations), the Federal Government, or
national security; and (3) the disclosure
made to such agencies, entities, and
persons is reasonably necessary to assist
in connection with the Peace Corps’
efforts to respond to the suspected or
confirmed breach or to prevent,
minimize, or remedy such harm.’’

The Peace Corps is also making
technical amendments to references to
the Inspector General Act, which has
been amended and is now cited at 5
U.S.C. 401–424.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), there
is one substantive change being made to
the exemptions promulgated for the
system. The addition of this exemption
is in keeping with the Inspector
General’s delegated law enforcement
authority from the Attorney General.
The added exemption also aligns with
the Peace Corps’ published rule,
entitled, ‘‘Privacy Act Regulations,’’
establishing its procedures relating to
access, maintenance, disclosure and
amendment of records which are in a
Peace Corps system of records per the
Privacy Act, promulgated at 22 CFR part
308 (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title22/chapter-III/part-308). In accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Peace Corps
