[NOTICE 2024–31] 

Civil Monetary Penalties Annual 

Inflation Adjustments 

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Final rules. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Federal 

Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 

of 1990, the Federal Election 

Commission is adjusting for inflation 

the civil monetary penalties established 

under the Federal Election Campaign 

Act, the Presidential Election Campaign 

Fund Act, and the Presidential Primary 

Matching Payment Account Act. The 

civil monetary penalties being adjusted 

are those negotiated by the Commission 

or imposed by a court for certain 

statutory violations, and those imposed 

by the Commission for late filing of or 

failure to file certain reports required by 

the Federal Election Campaign Act. The 

adjusted civil monetary penalties are 

calculated according to a statutory 

formula and the adjusted amounts will 

apply to penalties assessed after the 

effective date of these rules. 

DATES: The final rules are effective on 

January 3, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 

Adjustment Act of 1990 (the ‘‘Inflation 

Adjustment Act’’),1 as amended by the 

Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 

Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 

2015 (the ‘‘2015 Act’’),2 requires Federal 

agencies, including the Commission, to 

adjust for inflation the civil monetary 

penalties within their jurisdiction 

according to prescribed formulas. A 

civil monetary penalty is ‘‘any penalty, 

fine, or other sanction’’ that (1) ‘‘is for 

a specific monetary amount’’ or ‘‘has a 

maximum amount’’ under Federal law; 

and (2) that a Federal agency assesses or 

enforces ‘‘pursuant to an administrative 

proceeding or a civil action’’ in Federal 

court.3 Under the Federal Election 

Campaign Act, 52 U.S.C. 30101–45 

(‘‘FECA’’), the Commission may seek 

and assess civil monetary penalties for 

violations of FECA, the Presidential 

Election Campaign Fund Act, 26 U.S.C. 

9001–13, and the Presidential Primary 

Matching Payment Account Act, 26 

U.S.C. 9031–42. 

The Inflation Adjustment Act requires 

Federal agencies to adjust their civil 

penalties annually, and the adjustments 

must take effect no later than January 15 

of every year.4 Pursuant to guidance 

issued by the Office of Management and 

Budget (‘‘OMB’’),5 the Commission is 

now adjusting its civil monetary 

penalties for 2025.6

The Commission must adjust for 

inflation its civil monetary penalties 

‘‘notwithstanding Section 553’’ of the 

Administrative Procedures Act 

(‘‘APA’’).7 Thus, the APA’s notice-andcomment and delayed effective date 

requirements in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)–(d) do 

not apply because Congress has 

specifically exempted agencies from 

these requirements.8

Furthermore, because the inflation 

adjustments made through these final 

rules are required by Congress and 

involve no Commission discretion or 

policy judgments, these rules do not 

need to be submitted to the Speaker of 

the United States House of 

Representatives or the President of the 

United States Senate under the 

Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 

et seq. Moreover, because the APA’s 

notice-and-comment procedures do not 

apply to these final rules, the 

Commission is not required to conduct 

a regulatory flexibility analysis under 5 

U.S.C. 603 or 604. See 5 U.S.C. 601(2), 

604(a). Nor is the Commission required 

to submit these revisions for 

congressional review under FECA. See 5 

U.S.C. 30111(d)(1), (4) (providing for 

congressional review when Commission 

‘‘prescribe[s]’’ a ‘‘rule of law’’). 

The new penalty amounts will apply 

to civil monetary penalties that are 

assessed after the date the increase takes 

effect, even if the associated violation 

predated the increase.9

Explanation and Justification 

The Inflation Adjustment Act requires 

the Commission to annually adjust its 

civil monetary penalties for inflation by 

applying a cost-of-living-adjustment 

(‘‘COLA’’) ratio.10 The COLA ratio is the 

percentage that the Consumer Price 

Index (‘‘CPI’’) 11 ‘‘for the month of 

October preceding the date of the 

adjustment’’ exceeds the CPI for October 

of the previous year.12 To calculate the 

adjusted penalty, the Commission must 

increase the most recent civil monetary 

penalty amount by the COLA ratio.13

According to the Office of Management 

and Budget, the COLA ratio for 2025 is 

0.02598, or 2.598%; thus, to calculate 

the new penalties, the Commission must 

multiply the most recent civil monetary 

penalties in force by 1.02598.14

The Commission assesses two types of 

civil monetary penalties that must be 

adjusted for inflation. First are penalties 

that are either negotiated by the 

Commission or imposed by a court for 

violations of FECA, the Presidential 

Election Campaign Fund Act, or the 

Presidential Primary Matching Payment 

Account Act. These civil monetary 

penalties are set forth at 11 CFR 111.24. 

Second are the civil monetary penalties 

assessed through the Commission’s 

Administrative Fines Program for late 

filing or non-filing of certain reports 

required by FECA. See 52 U.S.C. 

30109(a)(4)(C) (authorizing 

Administrative Fines Program), 30104(a) 

(requiring political committee treasurers 

to report receipts and disbursements 

within certain time periods). The 

penalty schedules for these civil 

monetary penalties are set out at 11 CFR 

111.43 and 111.44. 

1. 11 CFR 111.24—Civil Penalties 

FECA establishes the civil monetary 

penalties for violations of FECA and the 

other statutes within the Commission’s 

jurisdiction. See 52 U.S.C. 30109(a)(5), 

(6), (12). Commission regulations in 11 

CFR 111.24 provide the current 

inflation-adjusted amount for each such 

civil monetary penalty. To calculate the 

adjusted civil monetary penalty, the 

Commission multiplies the most recent 

penalty amount by the COLA ratio and 

rounds that figure to the nearest dollar. 

The actual adjustment to each civil 

monetary penalty is shown in the chart 

below.

15Election sensitive reports are certain reports 

due shortly before an election. See 11 CFR 

111.43(d)(1). 

16A report is considered to be ‘‘not filed’’ if it is 

never filed or is filed more than a certain number 

of days after its due date. See 11 CFR 111.43(e). 

2. 11 CFR 111.43, 111.44— 

Administrative Fines 

FECA authorizes the Commission to 

assess civil monetary penalties for 

violations of the reporting requirements 

of 52 U.S.C. 30104(a) according to the 

penalty schedules ‘‘established and 

published by the Commission.’’ 52 

U.S.C. 30109(a)(4)(C)(i). The 

Commission has established two 

penalty schedules: The penalty 

schedule in 11 CFR 111.43(a) applies to 

reports that are not election sensitive, 

and the penalty schedule in 11 CFR 

111.43(b) applies to reports that are 

election sensitive.15 Each penalty 

schedule contains two columns of 

penalties, one for late-filed reports and 

one for non-filed reports, with penalties 

based on the level of financial activity 

in the report and, if late-filed, its 

lateness.16 In addition, 11 CFR 111.43(c) 

establishes a civil monetary penalty for 

situations in which a committee fails to 

file a report and the Commission cannot 

calculate the relevant level of activity. 

Finally, 11 CFR 111.44 establishes a 

civil monetary penalty for failure to file 

timely reports of contributions received 

less than 20 days, but more than 48 

hours, before an election. See 52 U.S.C. 

30104(a)(6). 

To determine the adjusted civil 

monetary penalty amount for each level 

of activity, the Commission multiplies 

the most recent penalty amount by the 

COLA ratio and rounds that figure to the 

nearest dollar. The new civil monetary 

penalties are shown in the schedules in 

the rule text, below.
