The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is updating the rules for civil monetary penalties under the Commodity Exchange Act to account for inflation, as required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act. This update adjusts the maximum fines for violations based on the change in the Consumer Price Index. The new penalties will apply to violations assessed after January 15, 2025. This rule aims to ensure penalties remain effective as deterrents over time and doesn’t require the standard notice and comment process normally needed for new regulations.

Boston University has completed an inventory of human remains and related objects and determined a cultural connection to current Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. The remains were originally collected from the St. Johns River in Florida before 1936. Anyone from tribes not mentioned in the notice who wants to request control of these remains should contact the university by March 11, 2021. If no additional claims are made, the remains will be transferred to the identified tribes.
