Title: Technical Corrections to Title 40 to Conform to the Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule 
Abstract: On December 11, 2008, EPA promulgated the 2008 Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule (73 FR 75340) to adjust all statutory civil monetary penalties for inflation. This rule was issued pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA), which requires each federal agency to adjust statutory penalty amounts under its jurisdiction to account for inflation. During the course of that rulemaking, EPA discovered that certain regulatory provisions of title 40 referred to outdated statutory civil penalty amounts. This rulemaking will amend all regulatory references to specific civil penalty amounts to refer to the operative effective statutory maximum penalty amount reflected in 40 CFR 19.4.
