**BILLING CODE 1505–01–D**

**FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION**

**16 CFR Part 1**

**Adjustment of Civil Monetary Penalty Amounts** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Trade Commission.

**ACTION :**  Interim final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) is increasing the maximum civil penalty amounts within its jurisdiction, as required by the Federal Civil Penalty Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.

**DATES :**  The interim final rule is effective August 1, 2016.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Kenny A. Wright, Attorney, Office of the General Counsel, FTC, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20580, (202) 326–2907, kwright@ ftc.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (‘‘Adjustment Improvements Act’’ or ‘‘Act’’) 1 requires federal agencies to implement a ‘‘catch-up adjustment’’ in 2016 to address inflation since the civil penalties within their jurisdiction were last set or adjusted by statute. The law mandates that agencies perform this adjustment through an interim final rulemaking and it sets forth a specific methodology to calculate theadjustment. Following this initial catchup adjustment, the Adjustment Improvements Act directs agencies to adjust their civil penalties for inflation every January thereafter.

Commission Rule 1.98 sets forth the maximum civil penalty amounts for violations of laws enforced by the Commission that authorize civil penalties. 2 These amounts reflect earlier adjustments under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act which mandated a different methodology than the Adjustment Improvements Act.

When the Commission seeks civil penalties, it is mindful of the statutory criteria courts must apply when determining the amount of the civil penalty: ‘‘the degree of culpability, any history of prior such conduct, ability to pay, effect on ability to continue to do business, and such other matters as justice may require.’’ 3 Courts determining penalty amounts for violations of a final order under the FTCAct have similarly applied a multifactor test that looks at the good or bad faith of the respondent; the injury to the public; the respondent’s ability to pay; the desire to eliminate the benefits derived from the violations; and the necessity of vindicating the Commission’s authority. 4 The Commission also has a civil penalty leniency program for small businesses that establishes criteria the Commission will consider when determining the propriety of a penalty waiver or reduction for small businesses that are not in compliance with the law. 5

As required by the Act, the following adjusted amounts will take effect on August 1, 2016: • Section 7A(g)(1) of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a(g)(1) (premerger filingnotification violations under the HartScott-Rodino (HSR) Improvements Act)—Increase from $16,000 to $40,000;

• Section 11( l) of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 21( l) (violations of cease and desist orders issued under Clayton Act section 11(b))—Increase from $8,500 to $21,250;

• Section 5( l) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45( l) (violations of final Commission orders issued under section 5(b) of the FTC Act)—Increase from $16,000 to $40,000;

• Section 5(m)(1)(A) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45(m)(1)(A) (unfair or deceptive acts or practices)—Increase from $16,000 to $40,000;

• Section 5(m)(1)(B) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45(m)(1)(B) (unfair or deceptive acts or practices)—Increase from $16,000 to $40,000;

• Section 10 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 50 (failure to file required reports)— Increase from $210 to $525;

• Section 5 of the Webb-Pomerene (Export Trade) Act, 15 U.S.C. 65 (failure by associations engaged solely in export trade to file required statements)— Increase from $210 to $525;

• Section 6(b) of the Wool Products Labeling Act, 15 U.S.C. 68d(b) (failure by wool manufacturers to maintain required records)—Increase from $210 to $525;

• Section 3(e) of the Fur Products Labeling Act, 15 U.S.C. 69a(e)(failure to maintain required records regarding fur products)—Increase from $210 to $525;

• Section 8(d)(2) of the Fur Products Labeling Act, 15 U.S.C. 69f(d)(2) (failure to maintain required records regarding fur products)—Increase from $210 to $525;

• Section 333(a) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, 42 U.S.C. 6303(a) (knowing violations of EPCA § 332, including labeling violations)—Increase from $210 to $433;
