Title: Penalty Inflation Adjustments for Civil Monetary Penalties 
Abstract:

Section 701 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA) requires federal agencies that impose civil monetary penalties (CMP) to adjust annually for inflation instead of every four years. This final rule codifies the regulatory text in the interim final rule we published on June 27, 2016 (which became effective August 1, 2016) to implement the requirement of section 701 of the BBA.
