Title: Revisions to Regulations Addressing the OIG's Authority To Impose Civil Money Penalties and Assessments 
Abstract: This proposed rule would revise part 1003, addressing the Office of Inspector General's authority to propose the imposition of civil money penalties and assessments by reorganizing and simplifying existing regulatory text and eliminating obsolete references contained in the current regulations. Among the proposed revisions, this rule would establish separate subparts within part 1003 for various categories of violations; clarify the availability of exclusion for certain violations in addition to civil money penalties and assessments; date various references to managed care organization authorities; and clarify the application of section 1140 of the Social Security Act with respect to the misuse of certain Departmental symbols, emblems, or names through Internet and e-mail communications.
