Docket No. USDA20200011
RIN 0503AA72
Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustments for 2021; Correction Office of the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Agriculture USDA.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
AGENCY:
On May 10, 2021, we published a final rule amending the U.S.
Department of Agricultures civil monetary penalty regulations by making inflation adjustments as mandated by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015. We are correcting an error that appeared in that final rule.
DATES: Effective June 9, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Stephen ONeill, Office of Budget and Program Analysis, USDA, 1400
Independence Avenue SW,Washington, DC 202501400, 202 7200038.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final rule published and effective on June 17, 2020 85 FR 3667036714, we amended the U.S. Department of Agricultures USDAs debt management regulations in 7 CFR part 3. As part of that final rule, we revised the regulations in 3.91
to update the amount of civil monetary penalties that may be levied by USDA
agencies to reflect inflationary adjustments for 2020 as required by the 2015 Civil Penalties Act.
In making those updates, we inadvertently introduced an error into paragraph b2xiv of 3.91. Prior to the effective date of the June 2020 final rule, that paragraph had specified that the civil penalty for a violation of the Commercial Transportation of Equine for Slaughter Act, 7 U.S.C. 1901 note, and its implementing regulations in 9
CFR part 88, as set forth in 9 CFR 88.6,

has a maximum of $5,000. The June 2020 final rule should have adjusted that maximum amount to $5,088
consistent with the guidance contained in Office of Management and Budget memorandum M2005, which provided a cost-of-living adjustment multiplier for 2020 of 1.01764.
However, due to a drafting error, the amount that appeared was $812.
That error carried over into our 2021
adjustments, which were published and effective on May 10, 2021 86 FR 24699
24703, in which we applied the 2021
cost-of-living adjustment multiplier 1.01182 to the incorrect $812 figure to arrive at an adjusted penalty of $822.
To address these errors, we are amending 7 CFR 3.91b2xiv to replace the incorrect penalty amount with the correct amount, which is $5,148 i.e., the correct 2020 figure of $5,088 times the 2021 multiplier.

Export Administration Regulations:
Termination of United Arab Emirates Participation in the Arab League Boycott of Israel Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security BIS amends the Export Administration Regulations EAR to reflect the formal termination by the United Arab Emirates UAE of its participation in the Arab League Boycott of Israel. Specifically, in recognition of the UAEs August 16, 2020 issuance of Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2020, certain requests for information, action or agreement from the UAE, which were presumed to be boycott-related if made prior to August 16, 2020, would not be presumed to be boycott-related if made following that date, and thus would not be prohibited or reportable under the EAR.
Accordingly, BIS adds an interpretation to the Restrictive Trade Practices or Boycotts regulations of the EAR, which sets forth BISs view that the prohibitions and reporting requirements contained in the EARs antiboycott provisions do not apply to such requests from the UAE made after August 16, 2020.
SUMMARY:
This rule is effective June 8,
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
2. In 3.91, paragraph b2xiv is amended by removing the amount $822 and adding the amount $5,148 in its place.
