Title: Civil Penalty Factors
Abstract: Section 20(b) and (c) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 USC 2069(b) and (c), require certain factors to be considered in assessing and compromising civil penalties. The Commission proposed a new interpretive rule that identifies and explains related factors that may be considered by the Commission and staff in evaluating the appropriateness and amount of a civil penalty. On July 12, 2006, the Commission solicited comments on a proposed new interpretive rule. The comment period closed on August 11, 2006. CPSC staff will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration concerning the content of a possible final interpretive rule. This regulatory action was superseded by section 217 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008).
