Title: ●Civil Penalties; 2021 Inflation Adjustments for Civil Monetary Penalties 
Abstract:

We issue this final rule, in accordance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Inflation Adjustment Act) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance, to adjust for inflation the statutory civil monetary penalties that may be assessed for violations of Service-administered statutes and their implementing regulations. We are required to adjust civil monetary penalties annually for inflation according to a formula specified in the Inflation Adjustment Act. This rule will replace the previously issued amounts with the updated amounts after using the 2021 inflation adjustment multiplier provided in the OMB guidance.
