Title: Amendments to the Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule 
Abstract: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) requires each Federal agency to adjust its statutory civil penalties for inflation at least once every four years. Since EPA last adjusted its statutory civil penalties for inflation in 2008, 73 FR 75340 (December 11, 2008), in 2013, EPA will publish amendments to parts 19 and 27 to adjust statutory maximum and minimum penalties under its jurisdiction, as necessary, to account for inflation. This rulemaking will also include technical corrections to Title 40 to ensure that all regulatory references to specific civil penalty amounts refer to the operative effective statutory maximum penalty amount reflected in 40 CFR 19.4.
