  • 2025-00361 — Department of State 2025 Civil Monetary Penalties Inflationary Adjustment
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1866
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Department of State issued a final rule to adjust civil monetary penalties (CMP) across several regulatory areas, including fraud, chemical weapons, arms control, and lobbying. The adjustments align with annual inflation guidelines set by the Office of Management and Budget based on a December 2024 cost-of-living adjustment multiplier. These new penalty amounts will apply to violations occurring on or after the rule's effective date, January 10, 2025. The rule ensures penalties keep up with inflation, following mandates from recent legislation and guidelines.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of State has decided to raise the fees for breaking certain rules, like cheating or breaking weapon laws, to keep up with inflation, so that these fees still feel like a good "ouch" if someone does something wrong. They've used some special rules to do this quickly, and the new fees start from January 10, 2025.

    The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is extending the comment period and delaying the implementation of a final rule that revises its procedural rules. Originally published on January 17, 2025, the effective date of these changes is pushed to April 7, 2025. Comments on the rule will be accepted until March 21, 2025. This extension allows more time for feedback on changes set out in 29 CFR part 2700.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of making sure mining is safe are changing some rules, but they are giving everyone more time to think about these changes and share their thoughts. Now, everyone has until March 21 to say what they think, and the new rules won't start until April 7.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 3041

    The Surface Transportation Board issued a final rule to update its civil monetary penalties by accounting for inflation, as required by federal law. This annual adjustment, effective January 14, 2025, follows a specific calculation method and does not allow for public comment because the Board is following a mandated federal formula. The rule applies only to violations occurring after the regulation's effective date. It also clarifies that the Board has no authority to adjust criminal penalties for inflation.

    Simple Explanation

    The Surface Transportation Board has changed the fines for breaking certain rules to keep up with rising prices. They didn't ask for people’s opinions on the changes because they have to follow government instructions.
