Rules of Practice for Hearings
Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
ACTION: Final rule.
The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the ‘‘Board’’) is
issuing a final rule amending its rules of
practice and procedure to adjust the
amount of each civil money penalty
(‘‘CMP’’) provided by law within its
jurisdiction to account for inflation as
required by the Federal Civil Penalties
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements
Act of 2015.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
January 12, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Thomas O. Kelly, Senior Counsel (202–
974–7059), Legal Division, Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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
new final rule to set the CMP levels
pursuant to the required annual
adjustment for 2024. The Board will
apply these adjusted maximum penalty
levels to any penalties assessed on or
after [publication date], 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 2024 is the
percentage by which the Consumer
Price Index for the month of October
2023 exceeds the Consumer Price Index
for the month of October 2022. On
December 19, 2023, 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

of Penalty Inflation Adjustments for 2024, Pursuant
to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment
Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Dec. 19, 2023).
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.

paragraph (b) of this section the
adjusted maximum amounts for each
civil money penalty provided by law
within the Board’s jurisdiction. The
authorizing statutes contain the
complete provisions under which the
Board may seek a civil money penalty.
The adjusted civil money penalties
apply only to penalties assessed on or
after January 12, 2024, whose associated
violations occurred on or after
November 2, 2015.
(b) Maximum civil money penalties.
The maximum (or, in the cases of 12
U.S.C. 334 and 1832(c), fixed) civil
money penalties as set forth in the
referenced statutory sections are set
forth in the table in this paragraph (b).

The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by
the Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 (1996 Act) and the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (2015 Act)
(collectively, 1990 Act, as amended),
requires all Federal agencies with the
authority to enforce CMPs to evaluate
and adjust, if necessary, those CMPs
each year to ensure that they continue
to maintain their deterrent value and
promote compliance with the law.
Section 3(2) of the 1990 Act, as
amended, defines a civil monetary
penalty 1 as any penalty, fine, or other
sanction that: (1) either is for a specific
monetary amount as provided by
Federal law or has a maximum amount
provided for by Federal law; (2) is
assessed or enforced by an agency
pursuant to Federal law; and (3) is
assessed or enforced pursuant to an
administrative proceeding or a civil
action in the Federal courts.2
The FCA imposes and enforces CMPs
through the Farm Credit Act 3 and the
1 While the 1990 Act, as amended by the 1996
and 2015 Acts, uses the term ‘‘civil monetary
penalties’’ for these penalties or other sanctions, the
Farm Credit Act and FCA regulations use the term
‘‘civil money penalties.’’ Both terms have the same
meaning. Accordingly, this rule uses the term civil
money penalty, and both terms may be used
interchangeably.

parts 622 and 623. Part 622 establishes
rules of practice and procedure

from practice before the FCA.
B. CMPs Issued Under the Farm Credit
Act
Section 5.32(a) of the Farm Credit Act
provides that any Farm Credit System
(System) institution or any officer,
director, employee, agent, or other
person participating in the conduct of
the affairs of a System institution who
violates the terms of an order that has
become final pursuant to section 5.25 or
5.26 of the Farm Credit Act must pay a
maximum daily amount of $1,000,5 for
each day such violation continues. This
CMP maximum was set by the Farm
Credit Amendments Act of 1985, which
amended the Farm Credit Act. Orders
issued by the FCA under section 5.25 or
5.26 of the Farm Credit Act include
temporary and permanent cease-anddesist orders. In addition, section
5.32(h) of the Farm Credit Act provides
that any directive issued under sections
4.3(b)(2), 4.3A(e), or 4.14A(i) of the
Farm Credit Act ‘‘shall be treated’’ as a
final order issued under section 5.25 of
4 42 U.S.C. 4012a and Public Law 103–325, title
V, 108 Stat. 2160, 2255–87 (September 23, 1994).
5 The inflation-adjusted CMP in effect on January
15, 2023, for a violation of a final order is $2,741
per day, as set forth in § 622.61(a)(1) of FCA
regulations.

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
2024. The Board will apply these adjusted maximum penalty levels to any
penalties assessed on or after [publication date], 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 2024 is
the percentage by which the Consumer Price Index for the month of
October 2023 exceeds the Consumer Price Index for the month of October
2022. On December 19, 2023, 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 2024, Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Dec. 19, 2023).
\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
[[Page 2115]]
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.

adjusted maximum amounts for each civil money penalty provided by law
within the Board's jurisdiction. The authorizing statutes contain the
complete provisions under which the Board may seek a civil money
penalty. The adjusted civil money penalties apply only to penalties
assessed on or after January 12, 2024, whose associated violations
occurred on or after November 2, 2015.

12 U.S.C. 334 and 1832(c), fixed) civil money penalties as set forth in
the referenced statutory sections are set forth in the table in this
