    The Department of State issued a final rule to update the civil monetary penalties (CMP) it imposes due to inflation, following guidance from the Office of Management and Budget. This adjustment is based on the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act and requires annual modifications. The new penalties will affect various parts of the department's regulations, such as fraud, chemical weapons, arms exports, and lobbying activities and will apply to offenses assessed from February 2, 2021, onward.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of State is updating some of the fines it charges to keep up with rising prices, like growing a plant when it gets more water. These new fines will only count for things that happen from February 2, 2021, and forward.

  • 2020-27759 — Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations: Additions to Schedule 1(A) of the Annex on Chemicals to the Chemical Weapons Convention
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 936
    Reading Time:about 26 minutes

    The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a final rule to update the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding certain chemical families and an individual chemical to “Schedule 1” of the CWC Annex on Chemicals. These changes reflect decisions made during an international conference and clarify the definition of "production" under the CWCR. The updates ensure the U.S. complies with international obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, but are not expected to significantly impact U.S. industry due to limited commercial applications of the newly added chemicals.

    Simple Explanation

    The government updated the rules about some special chemicals to make sure the U.S. is following international rules about stopping bad chemicals that can hurt people, but this doesn’t really change much for American companies because these chemicals are not used a lot here.
