Abstract
This final rule finalizes the provisions of the September 6, 2016 interim final rule that adjusts for inflation the maximum civil monetary penalty (CMP) amounts for all agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and updates certain agency-specific regulations. It also updates our required annual inflation-related increases to the CMP amounts in our regulations, under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015; adds references to new penalty authorities; and reflects technical changes to correct errors.
