    The Department of Education has issued final regulations to adjust civil monetary penalties (CMPs) for inflation, as required by law. This adjustment is based on the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 and affects penalties related to higher education, violations by lenders, and improper lobbying, among others. The new penalty amounts are calculated using a specific multiplier from the Office of Management and Budget, ensuring they retain their deterrent effect. These updates apply to violations occurring after November 2, 2015, and penalties assessed after February 3, 2021.

    The Department of Education is making sure that fines for breaking rules keep up with the times by adjusting them for inflation, like how a balloon gets bigger with more air. These changes are for bad actions that happened after November 2015, with fines given from February 2021 onwards.

    The Department of Education has announced a request for public comments on extending an existing information collection requirement related to the Student Assistance General Provisions—Annual Fire Safety Report. This request is made under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and seeks to continue collecting data on fires in on-campus student housing without any changes to the current rules. The public is invited to provide feedback on the necessity of this data collection, its timeliness, and suggestions for minimizing its burden. Comments should be submitted by February 14, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine a school asking about fires in student dorms every year to make sure everyone's safe. They want to keep asking the same questions, and they need people to say if this is important and how to make it easier to answer.
