Title: Adjustment of Civil Penalties for Inflation for Fiscal Year 2022 [NRC-2020-0032] | |
Abstract:
The rulemaking would amend the NRC's regulations to revise the amount of the maximum civil monetary penalties the NRC can assess. These adjustments are mandated by Congress through the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015. Specifically, this action would adjust the maximum civil monetary penalty the NRC can assess for violation of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, as well as the maximum civil monetary penalty the NRC can assess for false claims or statements under the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act. |
