(CMP)within the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's

(FDIC)jurisdiction to administer to account for inflation under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (1990 Adjustment Act), 1 as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (2015 Adjustment Act). 2 Under the 1990 Adjustment Act, as amended, Federal agencies must make annual adjustments to the maximum amount of each CMP the agency administers. The Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)is required to issue guidance to Federal agencies no later than December 15 of each year providing an inflation-adjustment multiplier ( *i.e.,* the inflation-adjustment factor agencies must use) applicable to CMPs assessed in the following year. 1 Public Law 101-410, 104 Stat. 890, codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note. 2 Public Law 114-74, 701(b), 129 Stat. 599, codified at 28 U.S.C. 2461 note. Agencies are required to publish their CMPs, adjusted under the multiplier provided by the OMB, by January 15 of the applicable year. Agencies like the FDIC that have codified the statutory formula for making the CMP adjustments may make annual inflation adjustments by providing notice in the **Federal Register** . 3 3 *See* Office of Mgmt. & Budget, Exec. Office of the President, OMB Memorandum No. M-23-05, *Implementation of Penalty Inflation Adjustments for 2023, Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015* 4 (Dec. 15, 2022), *https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/M-23-05-CMP-CMP-Guidance.pdf* (OMB Guidance); *see also* 12 CFR 308.132(d) (FDIC regulation that guides readers to the **Federal Register** to see the annual notice of CMP inflation adjustments). On December 15, 2022, the OMB issued guidance to affected agencies on implementing the required annual adjustment, which guidance included the relevant inflation multiplier. 4 The FDIC has applied that multiplier to the maximum CMPs allowable in 2022 for FDIC-supervised institutions to calculate the maximum amount of CMPs that may be assessed by the FDIC in 2023. 5 There were no new statutory CMPs administered by the FDIC during 2022. 4 *See* OMB Guidance at 1 (providing an inflation multiplier of 1.07745). 5 Penalties assessed for violations occurring prior to November 2, 2015, will be subject to the maximum amounts set forth in the FDIC's regulations in effect prior to the enactment of the 2015 Adjustment Act. The following charts provide the inflation-adjusted maximum CMP amounts for use after January 15, 2023—the effective date of the 2023 annual adjustments—under 12 CFR part 308, for conduct occurring on or after November 2, 2015: Maximum Civil Money Penalty Amounts U.S. code citation Current maximum CMP (through January 14, 2023) Adjusted maximum CMP 6 (beginning January 15, 2023) 12 U.S.C. 1464(v): Tier One CMP 7 $4,404 $4,745 Tier Two CMP 44,043 47,454 Tier Three CMP 8 2,202,123 2,372,677 12 U.S.C. 1467(d) 11,011 11,864 12 U.S.C. 1817(a): Tier One CMP 9 4,404 4,745 Tier Two CMP 44,043 47,454 Tier Three CMP 10 2,202,123 2,372,677 12 U.S.C. 1817(c): Tier One CMP 4,027 4,339 Tier Two CMP 40,259 43,377 Tier Three CMP 11 2,013,008 2,168,915 12 U.S.C. 1817(j)(16): Tier One CMP 11,011 11,864 Tier Two CMP 55,052 59,316 Tier Three CMP 12 2,202,123 2,372,677 12 U.S.C. 1818(i)(2) 13 : Tier One CMP 11,011 11,864 Tier Two CMP 55,052 59,316 Tier Three CMP 14 2,202,123 2,372,677 12 U.S.C. 1820(e)(4) 10,066 10,846 12 U.S.C. 1820(k)(6) 362,217 390,271 12 U.S.C. 1828(a)(3) 137 148 12 U.S.C. 1828(h) 15 : For assessments <$10,000 137 148 12 U.S.C. 1829b(j) 23,011 24,793 12 U.S.C. 1832(c) 3,198 3,446 12 U.S.C. 1884 320 345 12 U.S.C. 1972(2)(F): Tier One CMP 11,011 11,864 Tier Two CMP 55,052 59,316 Tier Three CMP 16 2,202,123 2,372,677 12 U.S.C. 3909(d) 2,739 2,951 15 U.S.C. 78u-2: Tier One CMP (individuals) 10,360 11,162 Tier One CMP (others) 103,591 111,614 Tier Two CMP (individuals) 103,591 111,614 Tier Two CMP (others) 517,955 558,071 Tier Three CMP (individuals) 207,183 223,229 Tier Three CMP (others) 1,035,909 1,116,140 15 U.S.C. 1639e(k): First violation 12,647 13,627 Subsequent violations 25,293 27,252 31 U.S.C. 3802 12,537 13,508 42 U.S.C. 4012a(f) 2,392 2,577 CFR citation Current presumptive CMP (through January 14, 2023) Adjusted presumptive CMP (beginning January 15, 2023) 12 CFR 308.132(e)(1)(i): Institutions with $25 million or more in assets: 1 to 15 days late $604 $651. 16 or more days late $1,208 $1,302.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 6 The maximum penalty amount is per day, unless otherwise indicated. 7 12 U.S.C. 1464(v) provides the maximum CMP amounts for the late filing of certain Call Reports. In 2012, however, the FDIC issued regulations that further subdivided these amounts based upon the size of the institution and the lateness of the filing. *See* 77 FR 74573, 74576-78 (Dec. 17, 2012), codified at 12 CFR 308.132(e)(1). These adjusted subdivided amounts are found at the end of this chart. 8 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the lesser of this amount or 1 percent of total assets. 9 12 U.S.C. 1817(a) provides the maximum CMP amounts for the late filing of certain Call Reports. In 1991, however, the FDIC issued regulations that further subdivided these amounts based upon the size of the institution and the lateness of the filing. *See* 56 FR 37968, 37992-93 (Aug. 9, 1991), codified at 12 CFR 308.132(e)(1). These adjusted subdivided amounts are found at the end of this chart. 10 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the lesser of this amount or 1 percent of total assets. 11 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the lesser of this amount or 1 percent of total assets. 12 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the lesser of this amount or 1 percent of total assets. 13 These amounts also apply to CMPs in statutes that cross-reference 12 U.S.C. 1818, such as 12 U.S.C. 2601, 2804(b), 3108(b), 3349(b), 4009(a), 4309(a), 4717(b); 15 U.S.C. 1607(a), 1681s(b), 1691(b), 1691c(a), 1693 *o* (a); and 42 U.S.C. 3601. 14 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the lesser of this amount or 1 percent of total assets. 15 The $148-per-day maximum CMP under 12 U.S.C. 1828(h) for failure or refusal to pay any assessment applies only when the assessment is less than $10,000. When the amount of the assessment is $10,000 or more, the maximum CMP under section 1828(h) is 1 percent of the amount of the assessment for each day that the failure or refusal continues. 16 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the lesser of this amount or 1 percent of total assets. 17 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the greater of this amount or 1/100,000th of the institution's total assets. 18 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the greater of this amount or 1/50,000th of the institution's total assets. 19 The maximum penalty amount for an institution is the lesser of this amount or 1 percent of total assets.
