SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On March 20, 2024, HUD published 

the final rule (89 FR 20032), which 

amended the regulations to the Section 

184 Indian Housing Loan Guarantee 

Program (Section 184 Program). Since 

its inception, the Section 184 Program 

has experienced an increase in demand. 

As a result, the final rule updated 

program regulations to minimize 

potential risk and increase program 

participation by financial institutions, 

and added eligibility and participation 

requirements for Lender Applicants, 

Direct Guarantee Lenders, Non-Direct 

Guarantee Lenders, Holders and 

Servicers and other Section 184 Program 

participants. The final rule also clarified 

the rules governing Tribal participation 

in the program, established 

underwriting requirements, specifies 

rules on the closing and endorsement 

process, established stronger and clearer 

servicing requirements, established 

program rules governing claims 

submitted by servicers and paid by 

HUD, and added standards governing 

monitoring, reporting, sanctions, and 

appeals. Lastly, the final rule added new 

definitions and makes statutory 

conforming amendments, including the 

categorical exclusion of the Section 184 

Program in HUD’s environmental 

review regulations. 

On June 14, 2024, HUD published a 

document in the Federal Register (89 

FR 50523) announcing that the final 

rule’s effective date would be delayed 

from June 18, 2024, to December 31, 

2024, with a compliance date of March 

1, 2025. 

II. Delay of Compliance Date 

HUD is currently drafting a handbook 

to implement the final rule. The 

handbook will provide comprehensive 

guidance and clarification for all 

stakeholders to fully understand and 

implement the final rule. Given the size 

of the handbook, its accompanying 

forms, and level of additional 

consultation with stakeholders needed 

to complete the handbook, HUD has 

determined that it needs additional time 

to draft this document. Further, HUD 

has heard from Tribes, lenders, 

servicers, and other participants that 

additional time is needed after the 

publication of the handbook for these 

stakeholders to conform their policies, 

procedures, and systems to comply with 

handbook and the final rule. As a result 

of these factors, HUD is extending the 

compliance date of March 1, 2025, 

established at 89 FR 50523, to December 

31, 2025.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Indian Gaming Commission 

25 CFR Part 575 

Annual Adjustment of Civil Monetary 

Penalty To Reflect Inflation 

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 

Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 

2015 (the Act) and Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

guidance, the National Indian Gaming 

Commission (NIGC or Commission) is 

amending its civil monetary penalty 

rule to reflect an annual adjustment for 

inflation in order to improve the 

penalty’s effectiveness and maintain its 

deterrent effect. The Act provides that 

the new penalty level must apply to 

penalties assessed after the effective 

date of the increase, including when the 

penalties whose associated violation 

predate the increase. 

DATES: This rule is applicable beginning 

on January 15, 2025. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Armando J. Acosta, Senior Attorney, 

Office of General Counsel, National 

Indian Gaming Commission, at (202) 

632–7003; fax (202) 632–7066 (not tollfree numbers). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On November 2, 2015, the President 

signed into law the Federal Civil 

Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 

Improvements Act of 2015 (Sec. 701 of 

Pub. L. 114–74). Beginning in 2017, the 

Act requires agencies to make annual 

inflationary adjustments to their civil 

monetary penalties by January 15th of 

each year, in accordance with annual 

OMB guidance. 

II. Calculation of Annual Adjustment 

In December of every year, OMB 

issues guidance to agencies to calculate 

the annual adjustment. According to 

OMB, the cost-of-living adjustment 

multiplier for fiscal year 2025 is 

1.02598, based on the Consumer Price 

Index for the month of October 2024, 

not seasonally adjusted. 

Pursuant to this guidance, the 

Commission has calculated the annual 

adjustment level of the civil monetary 

penalty contained in 25 CFR 575.4 

(‘‘The Chairman may assess a civil fine, 

not to exceed $63,992 per violation, 

against a tribe, management contractor, 

or individual operating Indian gaming 

for each notice of violation . . .’’). The 

2025 adjusted level of the civil 

monetary penalty is $65,655 ($63,992 × 

1.02598 = $65,654.51). 

III. Regulatory Matters 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This final rule is not a significant rule 

under Executive Order 12866. 

(1) This rule will not have an effect of 

$100 million or more on the economy or 

will not adversely affect, in a material 

way, the economy, productivity, 

competition, jobs, the environment, 

public health or safety, or state, local, or 

tribal governments or communities. 

(2) This rule will not create a serious 

inconsistency or otherwise interfere 

with an action taken or planned by 

another agency. 

(3) This rule does not involve 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs or the rights or obligations of 

recipients. 

(4) This regulatory change does not 

raise novel legal or policy issues.
