SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background In 1990, Congress passed the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, to provide for regular adjustment for inflation of civil monetary penalties (CMPs). As amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, the FCPIAA required that the head of each Federal agency review, and if necessary, adjust by regulation the CMPs assessed under statutes enforced by the agency at least once every four years.

On November 2, 2015, the President of the United States signed into law the 2015 Improvements Act, which further amended the FCPIAA and requires Federal agencies to adjust their CMPs annually for inflation no later than January 15 of each year. These requirements apply to the NRCs maximum CMP amounts for (1) a violation of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, or any regulation or order issued under the AEA, codified in section 2.205(j) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Civil Penalties; and (2) a false claim or statement made under the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act, codified in 10 CFR 13.3, Basis for Civil Penalties and Assessments.

Pursuant to the 2015 Improvements Act, the NRC codified on January 12, VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:27 May 14, 2018 Jkt 244001 PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\\FR\\FM\\15MYN1.SGM 15MYN1 daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
