Inflation Adjustment of Civil Monetary Penalties

AGENCY: Office of Foreign Assets Control, Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (OFAC) is issuing this final rule to adjust certain civil 
monetary penalties (CMPs) for inflation pursuant to the Federal Civil 
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Debt 
Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and the Federal Civil Penalties 
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.

DATES: Effective: June 14, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: OFAC: Assistant Director for 
Licensing, 202-622-2480; Assistant Director for Regulatory Affairs, 
202-622-4855; Assistant Director for Sanctions Compliance & Evaluation, 
202-622-2490; or the Department of the Treasury's Office of the Chief 
Counsel (Foreign Assets Control), Office of the General Counsel, 202-
622-2410.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Availability

    This document and additional information concerning OFAC are 
available from OFAC's website (www.treasury.gov/ofac).

Background

    Section 4 of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 
(1990 Pub. L. 101-410, 104 Stat. 890; 28 U.S.C. 2461 note), as amended 
by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134, 110 
Stat. 1321-373) and the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment 
Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-74, 129 Stat. 599, 28 U.S.C. 
2461 note) (collectively, the FCPIA Act), requires each federal agency 
with statutory authority to assess civil monetary penalties (CMPs) to 
adjust CMPs annually for inflation according to a formula described in 
section 5 of the FCPIA Act. One purpose of the FCPIA Act is to ensure 
that CMPs continue to maintain their deterrent effect through periodic 
cost-of-living based adjustments.
    OFAC has adjusted its CMPs three times since the Federal Civil 
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act went into effect on 
November 2, 2015: An initial catch-up adjustment on August 1, 2016 (81 
FR 43070, July 1, 2016), and annual adjustments on February 10, 2017 
(82 FR 10434, February 10, 2017), and March 19, 2018 (83 FR 11876, 
March 19, 2018).

[[Page 27715]]

Method of Calculation

    The method of calculating CMP adjustments applied in this final 
rule is required by the FCPIA Act. Under the FCPIA Act and the Office 
of Management and Budget guidance required by the FCPIA Act, annual 
inflation adjustments subsequent to the initial catch-up adjustment are 
to be based on the percent change between the Consumer Price Index for 
all Urban Consumers (``CPI-U'') for the October preceding the date of 
the adjustment and the prior year's October CPI-U. As set forth in 
Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-19-04 of December 14, 
2018, the adjustment multiplier for 2019 is 1.02522. In order to 
complete the 2019 annual adjustment, each current CMP is multiplied by 
the 2019 adjustment multiplier. Under the FCPIA Act, any increase in 
CMP must be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1.

New Penalty Amounts

    OFAC currently is authorized to impose CMPs pursuant to five 
statutes: The Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. 4301-4341, at 4315) 
(TWEA); the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
1701-1706, at 1705) (IEEPA); the Antiterrorism and Effective Death 
Penalty Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1212-1319, at 1250; 18 
U.S.C. 2339B) (AEDPA); the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act 
(Pub. L. 106-120, 113 Stat. 1626-1636, at 1632; 21 U.S.C. 1901-1908, at 
1906) (FNKDA); and the Clean Diamond Trade Act (Pub. L. 108-19, 117 
Stat. 631-637, at 634; 19 U.S.C. 3901-3913, at 3907) (CDTA).
    The table below summarizes the existing and new maximum CMP 
amounts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Maximum CMP
                                             Existing         amount
                 Statute                    maximum CMP   effective June
                                              amount         14, 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWEA....................................         $86,976         $89,170
IEEPA...................................         295,141         302,584
AEDPA...................................          77,909          79,874
FNKDA...................................       1,466,485       1,503,470
CDTA....................................          13,333          13,669
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to updating these maximum CMP amounts, OFAC is also 
updating a reference to one-half the IEEPA maximum CMP from $147,571 to 
$151,292.

Public Participation

    Because the amended regulations involve a foreign affairs function, 
the provisions of Executive Order 12866 and the Administrative 
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, 
opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date, as 
well as the provisions of Executive Order 13771, are inapplicable. 
Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) does not apply.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this rule does 
not impose information collection requirements that would require the 
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.
