GAO initiated a governmentwide review of the implementation of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990. The act requires each federal agency to issue a regulation adjusting its covered maximum civil monetary penalties for inflation by October 23, 1996, and requires each agency to make necessary adjustments at least once every 4 years thereafter. During the review, GAO determined that the Department of Commerce had adjusted its civil penalties in a manner inconsistent with eh requirements of the statute. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-1085R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-1085R.htm GAO-02-1085R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-1085R Correspondence GAO-02-1085R; Department of Commerce: Compliance with the Inflation Adjustment Act; Federal law Fines (penalties) Inflation Noncompliance Consumer Price Index Title 28 Section 2461note 28 U.S.C. 2461note Title 50 Section 1705 50 U.S.C. 1705 Volume 110 Page 1321 110 Stat. 1321 Public Law 104-134
