BILLING CODE 7040–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Office of the Comptroller of the 

Currency 

Notice of Inflation Adjustments for 

Civil Money Penalties 

AGENCY: Office of the Comptroller of the 

Currency, Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of Monetary Penalties 

2018. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the Comptroller 

of the Currency (OCC) is providing 

notice of its maximum civil money 

penalties as adjusted for inflation. The 

inflation adjustments are required to 

implement the Federal Civil Penalties 

Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as 

amended by the Federal Civil Penalties 

Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements 

Act of 2015. 

DATES: The adjusted maximum amount 

of civil money penalties in this notice 

are applicable to penalties assessed on 

or after January 12, 2018, for conduct 

occurring on or after November 2, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kevin Korzeniewski, Counsel, 

Legislative and Regulatory Activities 

Division, (202) 649–5490, or, for persons 

who are deaf or hearing impaired, TTY, 

(202) 649–5597, Office of the 

Comptroller of the Currency. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces changes to the 

maximum amount of each civil money 

penalty (CMP) within the OCC’s 

jurisdiction to administer to account for 

inflation pursuant to the Federal Civil 

Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 

1990 (the 1990 Adjustment Act),1 as 

amended by the Federal Civil Penalties 

Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements 

Act of 2015 (the 2015 Adjustment Act).2

Under the 1990 Adjustment Act, as 

amended, federal agencies must make 

annual adjustments to the maximum 

amount of each CMP the agency 

administers. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) is required to issue 

guidance to federal agencies no later 

than December 15 of each year 

providing an inflation adjustment 

multiplier (i.e. the inflation adjustment 

factor agencies must use) applicable to 

CMPs assessed in the following year. 

The agencies are required to publish 

their CMPs, adjusted pursuant to the 

multiplier provided by OMB, by January 

15 of the applicable year. 

To the extent an agency has codified 

a CMP amount in its regulations, the 

agency would need to update that 

amount by regulation. However, if an 

agency has codified the formula for 

making the CMP adjustments, then 

subsequent adjustments can be made 

solely by notice.3 Contemporaneous 

with this notice, the OCC also submitted 

for publication a final regulation to 

remove the now-outdated CMP amounts

4Penalties assessed for violations occurring prior 

to November 2, 2015, will be subject to the 

maximum amounts set forth in the OCC’s regulations in effect prior to the enactment of the 

2015 Adjustment Act. 

from its regulations, while updating 

those amounts for inflation through this 

notice. 

On December 15, 2017, the OMB 

issued guidance to affected agencies on 

implementing the required annual 

adjustment, which included the relevant 

inflation multiplier. The OCC has 

applied that multiplier to the maximum 

CMPs allowable in 2017 for national 

banks and federal savings associations 

in 12 CFR 19.240(c) and 109.103(c), 

respectively, to calculate the maximum 

amount of CMPs that may be assessed 

by the OCC in 2018.4

The following charts provide the 

inflation-adjusted CMPs for use 

beginning on January 12, 2018, pursuant 

to 12 CFR 19.240(c) and 109.103(c) for 

conduct occurring on or after November 

2, 2015:
