Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation 

Adjustment Rule 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Department of Defense 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) is issuing this final 

rule to adjust its civil monetary 

penalties under the Clean Water Act 

(CWA) and the National Fishing 

Enhancement Act to account for 

inflation. This action is mandated by the 

Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 

Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by 

the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 

Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 

2015 (Inflation Adjustment Act), which 

requires agencies to adjust the levels of 

civil monetary penalties with an initial 

‘‘catch-up’’ adjustment followed by 

annual adjustments for inflation. The 

Inflation Adjustment Act prescribes a 

formula for adjusting statutory civil 

penalties to reflect inflation, maintain 

the deterrent effect of statutory civil 

penalties, and promote compliance with 

the law. Using the adjustment criteria 

provided in the Inflation Adjustment 

Act for the initial ‘‘catch-up’’ 

adjustment and the December 16, 2016, 

Office of Management and Budget 

Memorandum regarding the 

‘‘Implementation of the 2017 annual 

adjustment pursuant to the Federal Civil 

Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 

Improvements Act of 2015’’, the 2016 

catch-up adjustment and 2017 annual 

adjustment for inflation will increase 

the Class I civil penalty under Section 

309 of the Clean Water Act to $20,966 

per violation, and the maximum civil 

penalty increases to $52,414. The 

judicial civil penalty under Section 

404(s) of the Clean Water Act increases 

to $52,414 per day for each violation. 

Under the National Fishing 

Enhancement Act, the Class I civil 

penalty increases to $22,957 per 

violation. 

DATES: This rule is effective December 

12, 2017 without further notice, unless 

the Corps receives substantive adverse 

comment by November 13, 2017. If we 

receive such adverse comment, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that this rule will not take effect.
