SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services is the primary source of federal 

support for the nation’s libraries and 

museums. We advance, support, and 

empower America’s museums, libraries, 

and related organizations through grant 

making, research, and policy 

development. Our vision is a nation 

where museums and libraries work 

together to work together to transform 

the lives of individuals and 

communities. To learn more, visit 

www.imls.gov. 

II. Current Actions 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services (IMLS) is proposing a research 

project that looks beyond economic 

impact, to the community relationships 

that are generated by museums and 

libraries, and how the impact of those 

organizations affects a community’s 

well-being. Since 2016, IMLS has 

engaged in a project entitled 

‘‘Community Catalyst’’ which has 

shown that libraries and museums use 

community activities and strategic 

partnerships to address community 

concerns along a social well-being 

spectrum. Stakeholders from the library 

and museum fields have expressed a 

need for a national study that looks 

beyond economic impact of their 

institutions to the impact on 

employment, health and welfare, 

environment, crime, civic engagement, 

etc. all parts of social well-being. 

Previous research has focused on the 

economic impact of a single library or 

a subset of museums. The research 

study will use publicly available data 

bases at the county level to develop a 

sampling plan for in-depth targeted case 

studies of the relationship between the 

presence of museums and libraries and 

the indices of the social well-being 

indicators.

Library Services.

Notice on Penalty Inflation 

Adjustments for Civil Monetary 

Penalties 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Notice announcing updated 

penalty inflation adjustments for civil 

monetary penalties for 2019. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF or Foundation) is 

providing notice of its adjusted 

maximum civil monetary penalties,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

27, 2016, NSF published an interim 

final rule amending its regulations to 

adjust, for inflation, the maximum civil 

monetary penalties that may be imposed 

for violations of the Antarctic 

Conservation Act of 1978 (ACA), as 

amended, 16 U.S.C. 2401 et seq., and 

the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act 

of 1986 (PFCRA), 31 U.S.C. 3801, et seq. 

These adjustments are required by the 

2015 Act (Sec. 701 of Pub. L. 114–74). 

The 2015 Act also requires agencies to 

make subsequent annual adjustments 

for inflation. Pursuant to OMB guidance 

dated December 14, 2018, the cost-ofliving adjustment multiplier for 2019 is 

1.02522. Accordingly, the 2019 annual 

inflation adjustments for the maximum 

penalties under the ACA are $17,278 

($16,853 × 1.02522) for violations and 

$29,239 ($28,520 × 1.02522) for 

knowing violations of the ACA. Finally, 

the 2019 annual inflation adjustment for 

the maximum penalty for violations 

under PFCRA is $11,463 ($11,181 × 

1.02522).
