Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Adjustment of Civil Penalties On November 2, 2015, the President signed into law the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015,2 which requires agencies to adjust civil monetary penalties for inflation and to publish the adjustments in the Federal Register. An initial adjustment was required to be made by interim final rule published by July 1, 2016, and effective by August 1, 2016. Subsequent adjustments must be published by January 15 each year after 2016.
On December 23, 2020, the Office of Management and Budget issued memorandum M2110 on implementation of the 2021 annual inflation adjustment pursuant to the 2015 Act.3 The memorandum provides agencies with the cost-of-living adjustment multiplier for 2021, which is based on the Consumer Price Index CPIU for the month of October 2020, not seasonally adjusted. The multiplier for 2021 is 1.01182. The adjusted maximum amounts are $2,259 for section 4071 penalties and $301 for section 4302 penalties.

The Office of Management and Budget has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and therefore not subject to its review. As this is not a significant regulatory action under E.O.
12866, it is not considered an E.O.
13771 regulatory action.
The Office of Management and Budget also has determined that notice and public comment on this final rule are unnecessary because the adjustment of civil penalties implemented in the rule is required by law. See 5 U.S.C. 553b.
Because no general notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 6012.
