Inflation Adjustment of Maximum Forfeiture Penalties

This document increases the maximum civil monetary forfeiture penalties available to the Commission under its rules governing monetary forfeiture proceedings to account for inflation. The inflation adjustment is necessary to implement the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), which requires federal agencies to adjust "civil monetary penalties provided by law" at least once every four years.
