Title: Inflation Adjustment References for Civil Monetary Penalty Amounts in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
Abstract:

EPA is taking action to remedy outdated maximum and minimum statutory civil monetary penalty amounts throughout the agency regulations. No new statutory civil monetary penalties are introduced in this action. Instead, EPA is promoting consistency across its regulations by referring the public to 40 CFR 19.4 for assessing information about existing statutory civil monetary penalties. These penalties are adjusted on an annual basis consistent with the mandates of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.
