Title: Civil Monetary Penalties, Assessments, and Recommended Exclusions (3496P) 
Abstract: The mission of the Social Security Administration, Office of the Inspector General (SSA/OIG), is to protect SSA programs and operations from fraud, waste, and abuse. As part of its mission, SSA/OIG was delegated authority to enforce part of section 1140 of the Social Security Act, 42 USC 1320b-10. However, SSA retained authority to enforce section 1140(a)(2)(A), which prohibits a person, for a fee, from reproducing, reprinting or distributing any item consisting of a form, application, or other publication of the Social Security Administration. This proposed rule would delegate the authority to enforce violations of this section to SSA/OIG. SSA would retain authority to approve the reproduction, reprinting or distribution of an SSA form, SSA application, or other SSA publication. In addition, this regulation would clarify what constitutes service of an enforcement action under sections 1129 and 1140 of the Act.
