Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension for Generic ICR: 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency 

Service Delivery 

Upon Written Request Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

The information collection activity 

will garner qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Commission’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

SEC and its customers and stakeholders. 

It will also allow feedback to contribute 

directly to the improvement of program 

management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Depending on the degree 

of influence the results are likely to 

have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

Below is the projected average annual 

estimates each year for the next three 

years: 

Expected Annual Number of 

activities: 20. 

Respondents: 30,000. 

Annual responses: 30,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average minutes per response: 10. 

Annual burden hours: 5,000. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

whether this proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden imposed by the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication by February 25, 2025. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

control number. 

Please direct your written comment to 

Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data 

Officer, Securities and Exchange 

Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg, 100

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

27, 2016, pursuant to the Federal Civil 

Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 

Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015 

Act),1 we published an interim final 

rule to adjust the level of civil monetary 

penalties (CMPs) under sections 1129 

and 1140 of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. 1320a–8 and 1320b–10, 

respectively, with an initial ‘‘catch-up’’ 

adjustment effective August 1, 2016.2

We announced in the interim final rule 

that for any future adjustments, we 

would publish a notice in the Federal 

Register to announce the new amounts. 

The annual inflation adjustment in 

subsequent years must be a cost-ofliving adjustment based on any 

increases in the October Consumer Price 

Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U) 

(not seasonally adjusted) each year.3

Inflation adjustment increases must be 

rounded to the nearest multiple of $1.4

We last updated the maximum penalty 

amounts effective January 15, 2024.5

Based on Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) guidance,6 the 

information below serves as public 

notice of the new maximum penalty 

amounts for 2025. The adjustment 

results in the following new maximum 

penalties, which will be effective as of 

January 15, 2025. 

Section 1129 CMPs (42 U.S.C. 1320a– 

8): 

$9,704.00 (current maximum per violation 

for fraud facilitators in a position of trust) x 

1.02598 (OMB-issued inflationary adjustment 

multiplier) = $9,956.11. When rounded to the 

nearest dollar, the new maximum penalty is 

$9,956. 

$10,289.00 (current maximum per 

violation for all other violators) × 1.02598 

(OMB-issued inflationary adjustment 

multiplier) = $10,556.31. When rounded to 

the nearest dollar, the new maximum penalty 

is $10,556. 

Section 1140 CMPs (42 U.S.C. 1320b– 

10): 

$12,799.00 (current maximum per 

violation for all violations other than 

broadcast or telecasts) × 1.02598 (OMBissued inflationary adjustment multiplier) = 

$13,131.52. When rounded to the nearest 

dollar, the new maximum penalty is $13,132. 

$63,991.00 (current maximum per violative 

broadcast or telecast) × 1.02598 (OMB-issued 

inflationary adjustment multiplier) = 

$65,653.49. When rounded to the nearest 

dollar, the new maximum penalty is $65,653.
