Title: ●Criteria and Procedures for Proposed Assessment of Civil Penalties  
Abstract: This final rule will revise the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA) statutory penalties found in section 110 of the Mine Act and the specific penalty amounts established in 30 CFR part 100 as mandated by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). The DCIA required that civil penalties be increased by up to 10 percent within 6 months of its enactment. It also required subsequent increases at least once every 4 years using a formula based on the Consumer Price Index. This was last accomplished by a final rule published in the Federal Register, 68 FR 6609, February 10, 2003.
