On May 15, 2018 (83 FR 22535), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a notice in the federal register revising to its Enforcement Policy (Enforcement Policy or Policy) to address the requirements of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (2015 Improvements Act). The 2015 Improvements Act amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act (FCPIAA) of 1990, and now requires Federal agencies to adjust their maximum civil monetary penalty annually for inflation. Specifically, updating Table A monetary amounts found in Section 8.0, “Table of Base Civil Penalties” items a-e and g of the Policy. This monetary adjustment does not include item ‘‘f’’ since its monetary value is based on the estimated or actual cost of authorized disposal and not on the monetary value codified in 10 CFR 2.205(j). This action was effective on January 12, 2018.
