U.S.C.: United States Code.

III. Background

    The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 at Title X, Public Law
111-281, 124 Stat. 3023, 33 U.S.C. 3801 to 3857 (Oct. 15, 2010),
directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to administer and enforce
the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling
Systems on Ships, 2001 (Convention). Section 1021 of Title X (33 U.S.C.
3821) and Regulation 2 of Annex 4 of the Convention call for U.S.
Government officials, or an organization identified by the United
States, to issue International Anti-fouling System (IAFS) Certificates
to ships whose anti-fouling systems fully comply with the Convention.
    Under the Convention, an ``anti-fouling system'' is defined as a
coating, paint, surface treatment, surface, or device that is used on a
ship to control or prevent attachment of unwanted organisms. The
Convention is currently focused on reducing pollution caused by
organotin compounds used in anti-fouling systems.
    Since the mid-1990s, under authority of 46 U.S.C. 3103, 3306, 3316
and 3703, and regulations in 46 CFR part 8, the Coast Guard has
authorized recognized classification societies to issue international
certificates to vessels. The United States currently recognizes six
classification societies for purposes of issuing international
certificates: the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS, United States), Det
Norske Veritas (DNV, Norway), Lloyd's Register (LR, Great Britain),
Germanischer Lloyd (GL, Germany), Bureau Veritas (BV, France), and
RINA, S.p.A. (RINA, Italy).
    The list of international certificates the Coast Guard may
authorize a recognized classification society to issue appears in 46
CFR 8.320. That list currently includes 12 certificates, but does not
include the IAFS Certificate.

IV. Discussion of the Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 46 CFR 8.320(b) by adding the
IAFS Certificate to the current list of international convention
certificates included in that paragraph. Adding the IAFS Certificate to
Sec.  8.320(b) would allow the Coast Guard to authorize recognized
classification societies to issue IAFS Certificates. Authorization
would be based on the Coast Guard's review of applicable class rules
and applicable classification society procedures. See 46 CFR 8.320(a).
The Coast Guard would then enter into a written agreement with a
recognized classification society authorized to issue international
convention certificates. The agreement would define the scope, terms,
conditions, and requirements of that delegation. See 46 CFR 8.320(c).

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 14 of these statutes or executive orders.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and
13563 (``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') direct agencies
to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives
and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that
maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental,
public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity).
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both
costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of
promoting flexibility. This notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) has
not been designated a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. A draft regulatory
assessment follows.
    Under the authority of 46 U.S.C. 3103, 3306, 3316, and 3703, the
Coast Guard proposes to amend 46 CFR 8.320, to enable the Coast Guard
to delegate the activity of issuing IAFS Certificates to a recognized
classification society which would act on behalf of the Coast Guard.
The intent of this proposed rule is only to allow for the delegation of
IAFS Certification to recognized class societies; it does not impose
mandatory actions on the U.S. maritime industry.
    This proposed rule initiates the process that may allow recognized
classification societies to issue IAFS Certificates on behalf of the
Coast Guard. Any recognized classification society that wishes to issue
IAFS Certificates on the Coast Guard's behalf would be required to
request a delegation of authority from the Coast Guard pursuant to the
procedures in 46 CFR part 8. In response, the Coast Guard would
evaluate the application, and review the applicant's applicable class
rules and applicable classification society procedures, before deciding
whether to issue a delegation of authority to the applicant.
    Although requesting the delegation of authority to conduct IAFS
surveys, inspections, and certifications is voluntary, classification
societies may incur minor costs associated with this process. The Coast
Guard may incur costs associated with the evaluation of these requests
and the issuance of delegations of authority to recognized
classification societies.
    The Coast Guard estimates that this proposed rule would potentially
affect six classification societies which may request a delegation of
authority to issue IAFS Certificates. The Coast Guard used OMB-approved
collections of information (1625-0101, 1625-0095, 1625-0093, and 1625-
0041) to estimate the costs and burden.
    The Coast Guard estimates that it will take classification society
employees about 5.25 hours to review the rulemaking requirements and
prepare the delegation request, at an average one-time cost of $458.50
per classification society (3.5 hours at $112 per hour for a director
and 1.75 hours at $38 per hour for a secretary). The total one-time
cost for all six classification societies is estimated to be $2,800
(rounded).
    In addition, the Coast Guard estimates that it will incur a one-
time cost to review and approve the requests for delegation. Based on
the OMB-approved collections of information discussed above, the Coast
Guard estimates that it will take about 5 hours to review, approve, and
issue an order to delegate authority, at an average cost of $360 per
event (3.5 hours for reviewing/approving and 1.5 hours for issuing at
$72 per hour for a lieutenant). The Coast Guard estimates a total one-
time Government cost of $2,200 (rounded) based on OMB-approved
collection of information estimates.
    The Coast Guard estimates the total one-time cost of this proposed
rule to be $5,000 (non-discounted) for classification societies and the
Government combined.
    This proposed rule may result in several benefits to the U.S.
maritime industry. First, it may result in a reduction of potential
wait time for IAFS Certificates. In the absence of delegation of
authority to classification societies, vessel owners and operators may
experience delays while the Coast Guard processes and issues IAFS

Certificates. Combined with the Coast Guard's other activities and
responsibilities, such a process could result in an unnecessary and
burdensome wait for vessels. The Coast Guard might also have to
redirect resources that could be used for other missions, resulting in
a less efficient use of Government resources. Finally, this proposed
rule may mitigate potential consequences to U.S. flag vessels due to
non-compliance with the Convention, including costly vessel detentions
in foreign ports.

B. Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), the Coast
Guard has considered whether this proposed rule would have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The term ``small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
    Classification societies affected by this proposed rule would be
classified under one of the following North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) 6-digit codes for water transportation:
488330--Navigation Services to Shipping, 488390--Other Support
Activities for Water Transportation, or 541611--Administrative
Management and General Management Consulting Services.
    The Coast Guard did not find any classification societies directly
affected by this rule that are small businesses or governments with
populations of less than 50,000. The only predominate U.S.
classification society is the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). ABS is
a privately owned non-profit organization that is dominant in its field
(Source: 2011 Hoovers, http://www.hoovers.com/company/American_Bureau_of_Shipping_Inc/rfsksji-1.html). Based on publicly available
information, ABS has more than 3,000 employees and an annual revenue of
more than $800 million (Source: 2011 Bloomberg, http://
investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=28915205&privcapId=4217113&previousCapId=764755&previousTitle=ABS%20Group%20of%20Companies,%20Inc). We do not consider ABS
to be a small entity under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The other
classification societies affected by this rule are foreign owned and
operated.
    The Coast Guard expects that this proposed rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
As described in section V.A. of this preamble, ``Regulatory Planning
and Review,'' the anticipated cost of this rule, per class society, is
less than $500. This proposed rule is not mandatory, and classification
societies, regardless of size, will choose to participate only if the
benefits are greater than the costs.
    Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
this proposed rule, if promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. If you think
that your business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction
qualifies as a small entity and that this rule will have a significant
economic impact on it, please submit a comment using one of the methods
listed under ADDRESSES. In your comment, explain why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree this rule would economically
affect it.

C. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), the Coast Guard wants to assist
small entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking.
If the proposed rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please consult Mr. John Meehan,
Environmental Standards Division, Coast Guard, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>
or e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The Coast Guard will not retaliate
against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

D. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520) because
the Coast Guard expects that the number of applications will be less
than 10 in any given year.

E. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, the Coast Guard does discuss the effects
of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

G. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not affect a taking of private property or
otherwise have takings implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

H. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

I. Protection of Children

    The Coast Guard has analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that
may disproportionately affect children.

J. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

K. Energy Effects

    The Coast Guard has analyzed this proposed rule under Executive
Order 13211 Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. The Coast Guard has determined
that this proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
that order because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866, supplemented by Executive Order 13563, and is
not

likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated this proposed
rule as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a
Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.

L. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (15 U.S.C. 272
note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the
Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards
(e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation;
test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems
practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, the
Coast Guard did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

M. Environment

    The Coast Guard has analyzed this proposed rule under Department of
Homeland Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant
Instruction M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f),
and has made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under the ``Public
Participation and Request for Comments'' section of this preamble. This
proposed rule involves the delegation of authority, the inspection and
documentation of vessels, and congressionally-mandated regulations
designed to improve or protect the environment. This action falls under
section 2.B.2, figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(b) and (d), of the
Instruction, and under section 6(b) of the ``Appendix to National
Environmental Policy Act: Coast Guard Procedures for Categorical
Exclusions, Notice of Final Agency Policy'' (67 FR 48243, July 23,
2002). The Coast Guard seeks any comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this
proposed rule.

List of Subjects for 46 CFR Part 8

    Administrative practice and procedure, Incorporation by reference,
Organization and functions (Government agencies), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Vessels.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 46 CFR part 8 as follows:

PART 8--VESSEL INSPECTION ALTERNATIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 8 is revised to read as follows:

    Authority: 33 U.S.C. 3803 and 3821; 46 U.S.C. 3103, 3306, 3316,
3703; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

    2. Amend Sec.  8.320 as follows:
    a. In paragraph (b)(11), remove the word ``and'';
    b. In paragraph (b)(12), remove the period at the end of the
sentence and add, in its place, the text ``; and''; and
    c. Add paragraph (b)(13) to read as follows:

Sec.  8.320  Classification society authorization to issue
international certificates.

* * * * *
    (b) * * *
    (13) International Anti-fouling System Certificate.
* * * * *

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2023-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2343]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations,

which may include additions or modifications of any Base Flood
Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities listed in the
table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek general information
and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the
FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and FIS report are the
basis of the floodplain management measures that the community is
required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in
order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before September 5, 2023.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2343, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email) [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

RIN-2120-AA66

Amendment, Revocation, and Establishment of Air Traffic Service
(ATS) Routes; Western United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published in the Federal
Register of November 20, 2019, that amended, removed and established
United States Area Navigation (RNAV) ATS routes in the western United
States. ATS route T-268 had a geographic coordinate misidentified for
HEMER, WA waypoint. This action corrects the geographic coordinate that
was incorrectly listed in the final rule.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, January 30, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket
No. FAA-2018-0221 (84 FR 64014, November 20, 2019), that amended,
removed and established RNAV ATS routes in the western United States.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA identified an

editorial error to the geographic coordinate that identified HEMER, WA,
waypoint (WP) along ATS route T-268. To accurately reflect the
geographic coordinate HEMER, WA, WP, this correction changes the
geographic coordinate from ``HEMER, WA WP (Lat. 48[deg]21'52.95'' N,
long. 124[deg]23'26.86'' W)'' to read ``HEMER, WA WP (Lat.
48[deg]22'37.11'' N, long. 124[deg]24'07.47'' W)''.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, Amendment,
Revocation, and Establishment of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes;
Western United States, published in the Federal Register of November
20, 2019 (84 FR 64014) FR Doc. 2019-25047, is corrected as follows:

Sec.  71.1   [Amended]

Paragraph 6011 United States Area Navigation Routes.

T-268 TATOOSH, WA (TOU) to BISMARCK, ND (BIS) [Corrected]

    On page 64015, column 3, line 46, remove ``HEMER, WA WP (Lat.
48[deg]21'52.95'' N, long. 124[deg]23'26.86'' W)'' and add in its
place ``HEMER, WA WP (Lat. 48[deg]22'37.11'' N, long.

Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited Partnership; Notice of
Request Under Blanket Authorization

January 13, 2006.
    Take notice that on January 4, 2006, Great Lakes Gas Transmission
Limited Partnership (Great Lakes), 5250 Corporate Drive, Troy, Michigan
48098, filed in Docket No. CP06-46-000 a request pursuant to sections
157.205(b) and 157.216(b)(2) of the Commission's Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to
abandon certain metering facilities at its St. Clair Delivery Point,
located at the end of the Great Lakes' system on the west side of the
St. Clair River in lower Michigan, under the authorization issued in
Docket No. CP90-2053-000 pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act,
all as more fully described in the request.
    This filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov
 using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number

excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll-free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,

contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this request may be directed to Vern
Meier, Director of Operations, Great Lakes Gas Transmission Company,
5250 Corporate

Drive, Troy, Michigan 48098, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Great Lakes states that its St. Clair metering facilities have
reached the end of their serviceable life. Great Lakes indicates that
in lieu of replacement, Great Lakes requests authorization to utilize
third party measurement data available from TransCanada PipeLines Ltd.,
downstream of the St. Clair Delivery Point. Great Lakes proposes to
abandon the metering function at its St. Clair Delivery Point by
removing the orifice plates and the differential pressure and
temperature transmitters from the existing meter runs. Great Lakes
maintains that the proposed abandonment would not affect service to any
shipper at the St. Clair Point.
    Great Lakes contends that all customers receiving deliveries at the
St. Clair Delivery Point have provided their written consent to the
abandonment except one. Great Lakes avers that the customer not
providing written consent has not indicated that it objects to the
abandonment. Great Lakes, therefore, seeks a waiver to permit the
abandonment notwithstanding the withholding of written consent by the
one customer.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to section 157.205 of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as
an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-filing''
link. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.

Adjustments to Civil Monetary Penalty Amounts

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is
publishing this notice (the ``Notice'') pursuant to the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the ``2015
Act''). This Act requires all agencies to annually adjust for inflation
the civil monetary penalties that can be imposed under the statutes
administered by the agency and publish the adjusted amounts in the
Federal Register. This Notice sets forth the annual inflation
adjustment of the maximum amount of civil monetary penalties (``CMPs'')
administered by the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act''), the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and certain
penalties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These amounts are
effective beginning on January 15, 2022, and will apply to all
penalties imposed after that date for violations of the aforementioned
statutes that occurred after November 2, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen M. Ng, Senior Special Counsel,
Office of the General Counsel, at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or Hannah W. Riedel,
Senior Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    This Notice is being published pursuant to the 2015 Act,\1\ which
amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990
(the ``Inflation Adjustment Act'').\2\ The Inflation Adjustment Act
previously had been amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 (the ``DCIA'') \3\ to require that each federal agency adopt
regulations at least once every four years that adjust for inflation
the CMPs that can be imposed under the statutes administered by the
agency. Pursuant to this requirement, the Commission previously adopted
regulations in 1996, 2001, 2005, 2009, and 2013 to adjust the maximum
amount of the CMPs that could be imposed under the statutes the
Commission administers.\4\

    The 2015 Act replaces the inflation adjustment formula prescribed
in the DCIA with a new formula for calculating the inflation-adjusted
amount of CMPs. The 2015 Act requires that agencies use this new
formula to re-calculate the inflation-adjusted amounts of the penalties
they administer on an annual basis and publish these new amounts in the
Federal Register by January 15 of each year.\5\ The Commission
previously published the first annual adjustment required by the 2015
Act on January 6, 2017 (the ``2017 Adjustment'').\6\ As part of the
2017 Adjustment, the Commission promulgated 17 CFR 201.1001(a) and
Table I to Subsection 1001, which lists the penalty amounts for all
violations that occurred on or before November 2, 2015. For violations
occurring after November 2, 2015, Subsection 1001(b) provides that the
applicable penalty amounts will be adjusted annually based on the
formula set forth in the 2015 Act. Subsection 1001(b) further provides
that these adjusted amounts will be published in the Federal Register
and on the Commission's website. The Commission published the two most
recent annual adjustments on January 8, 2020 (``2020 Adjustment'') \7\
and January 8, 2021 (``2021 Adjustment'').\8\

    A CMP is defined in relevant part as any penalty, fine, or other
sanction that: (1) Is for a specific amount, or has a maximum amount,
as provided by federal law; and (2) is assessed or enforced by an
agency in an administrative proceeding or by a federal court pursuant
to federal law.\9\ This definition applies to the monetary penalty
provisions contained in four statutes administered by the Commission:
The Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, and
the Investment Advisers Act. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
provides the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the ``PCAOB'')
authority to levy civil monetary penalties in its disciplinary
proceedings pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 7215(c)(4)(D).\10\ The definition of
a CMP in the Inflation Adjustment Act encompasses such civil monetary
penalties.\11\

    \11\ The Commission may by order affirm, modify, remand, or set
aside sanctions, including civil monetary penalties, imposed by the
PCAOB. See Section 107(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 15
U.S.C. 7217. The Commission may enforce such orders in federal
district court pursuant to Section 21(e) of the Exchange Act. As a
result, penalties assessed by the PCAOB in its disciplinary
proceedings are penalties ``enforced'' by the Commission for
purposes of the Inflation Adjustment Act. See Adjustments to Civil
Monetary Penalty Amounts, Release No. 33-8530 (Feb. 4, 2005) [70 FR

II. Adjusting the Commission's Penalty Amounts for Inflation

    This Notice sets forth the annual inflation adjustment required by
the 2015 Act for all CMPs under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act,
the Investment Company Act, and the Investment Advisers Act, and
certain civil monetary penalties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

    Pursuant to the 2015 Act, the penalty amounts in the 2021
Adjustment are adjusted for inflation by increasing them by the
percentage change between the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (``CPI-U'') for October 2020 and the October 2021 CPI-U.\12\
OMB has provided its calculation of this multiplier (the ``CPI-U
Multiplier'') to agencies.\13\ The new penalty amounts are determined
by multiplying the amounts in the 2021 Adjustment by the CPI-U
Multiplier and then rounding to the nearest dollar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 28 U.S.C. 2461 note Sec. 5.
    \13\ Office of Management and Budget, Implementation of Penalty
Inflation Adjustments for 2022, Pursuant to the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015
(December 15, 2021), available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/M-22-07.pdf. This multiplier represents the
percentage increase between the October 2020 CPI-U and the October
2021 CPI-U, plus 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, the CMP for certain insider trading violations by
controlling persons under Exchange Act Section 21A(a)(3) \14\ was
readjusted for inflation as part of the 2021 Adjustment to $2,166,279.
To determine the new CMP under this provision, the Commission
multiplies this amount by the CPI-U Multiplier of 1.06222, and rounds
to the nearest dollar. Thus, the new CMP for Exchange Act Section
21A(a)(3) is $2,301,065.

well as to consider the complexity and if the proposal has the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of December 24, 2013, we published a
proposed rule entitled ``Focused Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food
Against Intentional Adulteration'' with a 100-day comment period on the
provisions of the proposed rule and on the information collection
provisions that are subject to review by OMB under the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520).
    FDA has received requests for an extension of the comment period on
the proposed rule. The requests conveyed concern that the current 100-
day comment period does not allow time to thoroughly analyze the
proposed rule since this is unlike any other proposal and due to the
inherent complexity and unique nature of food defense issues. The
requests also stated an extended comment period would allow interested
persons an opportunity to fully review and analyze the approaches FDA
has proposed for the rule and its potential impact as well as consider
the complexity and if the proposal has the flexibility to address the
many types of food operations that will be affected. FDA has considered
the requests and is granting an extension of the comment period to June
30, 2014, for the ``Focused Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food
Against Intentional Adulteration'' proposed rule to allow interested
persons additional time to submit comments. We also are extending the
comment period for the information collection provisions to June 30,
2014, to make the comment period for the information collection
provisions the same as the comment period for the provisions of the
proposed rule. To clarify, FDA is requesting comment on all issues
raised by the proposed rule.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    Interested persons may either submit electronic comments regarding
the information collection to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or fax
written comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>. All comments should be
identified with the title ``Focused Mitigation Strategies to Protect
Food Against Intentional Adulteration.''

III. Request for Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
the proposed rule to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to
the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only
necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the
docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document.
Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to
the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.
