Clarity of This Regulation M. Administrative Procedure Act 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) (“the Act”). The Act requires Federal agencies to adjust the level of civil monetary penalties with an initial “catch-up” adjustment through rulemaking and then make subsequent annual adjustments for inflation. The purpose of these adjustments is to maintain the deterrent effect of civil penalties and to further the policy goals of the underlying statutes. The Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)issued guidance for Federal agencies on calculating the catch-up adjustment. *See* February 24, 2016, Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies, from Shaun Donovan, Director, Office of Management and Budget, re: *Implementation of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015* (M-16-06). Under the guidance, the Department identified applicable civil monetary penalties and calculated the catch-up adjustment. A civil monetary penalty is any assessment with a dollar amount that is levied for a violation of a Federal civil statute or regulation, and is assessed or enforceable through a civil action in Federal court or an administrative proceeding. A civil monetary penalty does not include a penalty levied for violation of a criminal statute, or fees for services, licenses, permits, or other regulatory review. The calculated catch-up adjustment is based on the percent change between the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the month of October in the year of the previous adjustment (or in the year of establishment, if no adjustment has been made) and the October 2015 CPI-U. The Bureau issued an interim final rule providing for calculated catch-up adjustments on June 30, 2016 (81 FR 42478), with an effective date of August 1, 2016, and requesting comments post-promulgation. The Bureau issued a final rule affirming the catch-up adjustments set forth in the interim final rule on December 2, 2016 (81 FR 86953). The Bureau then issued a final rule making the next scheduled annual inflation adjustment for 2017 on January 23, 2017 (82 FR 7649), for 2018 on February 6, 2018 (83 FR 5192), for 2019 on April 15, 2019 (84 FR 15098), for 2020 on February 19, 2020 (85 FR 9366), for 2021 on January 28, 2021 (86 FR 7344), for 2022 on March 9, 2022 (87 FR 13153), for 2023 on March 2, 2023 (88 FR 13018), and for 2024 on March 13, 2024 (89 FR 18359). II. Calculation of 2025 Annual Adjustments OMB recently issued guidance to assist Federal agencies in implementing the annual adjustments required by the Act. *See* December 17, 2024, Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies, from Shalanda D. Young, Director, Office of Management and Budget, re: *Implementation of Penalty Inflation Adjustments for 2025, Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015* (M-25-02). The guidance states that the cost-of-living adjustment multiplier for 2025, based on the CPI-U for the month of October 2024, not seasonally adjusted, is 1.02598. The annual inflation adjustments are based on the percent change between the October CPI-U preceding the date of the adjustment, and the prior year's October CPI-U. For 2025, OMB explains, October 2024 CPI-U (315.664)/October 2023 CPI-U (307.671) = 1.02598. The guidance instructs agencies to complete the 2025 annual adjustment by multiplying each applicable penalty by the multiplier 1.02598 and rounding to the nearest dollar. Further, agencies should apply the multiplier to the most recent penalty amount that includes the initial catch-up adjustment required by the Act. The annual adjustment applies to all civil monetary penalties with a dollar amount that are subject to the Act. This final rule adjusts the following civil monetary penalties contained in the Bureau's regulations for 2025 by multiplying 1.02598 by each penalty amount as updated by the adjustment made in the prior year (2024): CFR citation Description of penalty Current penalty including catchup adjustment Annual adjustment (multiplier) Adjusted penalty for 2024 25 CFR 140.3 Penalty for trading in Indian country without a license $1,617 1.02598 $1,659 25 CFR 141.50 Penalty for trading on Navajo, Hopi, or Zuni reservations without a license $1,617 1.02598 $1,659 25 CFR 211.55 Penalty for violation of leases of tribal land for mineral development, violation of part 211, or failure to comply with a notice of noncompliance or cessation order $1,943 1.02598 $1,993 25 CFR 213.37 Penalty for failure of lessee to comply with lease of restricted lands of members of the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma for mining, operating regulations at part 213, or orders $1,617 1.02598 $1,659 25 CFR 225.37 Penalty for violation of minerals agreement, regulations at part 225, other applicable laws or regulations, or failure to comply with a notice of noncompliance or cessation order $2,057 1.02598 $2,110 25 CFR 226.42 Penalty for violation of lease of Osage reservation lands for oil and gas mining or regulations at part 226, or noncompliance with the Superintendent's order $1,153 1.02598 $1,183 25 CFR 226.43(a) Penalty per day for failure to obtain permission to start operations $115 1.02598 $118 25 CFR 226.43(b) Penalty per day for failure to file records $115 1.02598 $118 25 CFR 226.43(c) Penalty for each well and tank battery for failure to mark wells and tank batteries $115 1.02598 $118 25 CFR 226.43(d) Penalty each day after operations are commenced for failure to construct and maintain pits $115 1.02598 $118 25 CFR 226.43(e) Penalty for failure to comply with requirements regarding valve or other approved controlling device $230 1.02598 $236 25 CFR 226.43(f) Penalty for failure to notify Superintendent before drilling, redrilling, deepening, plugging, or abandoning any well $460 1.02598 $472 25 CFR 226.43(g) Penalty per day for failure to properly care for and dispose of deleterious fluids $1,153 1.02598 $1,183 25 CFR 226.43(h) Penalty per day for failure to file plugging and other required reports $115 1.02598 $118 25 CFR 227.24 Penalty for failure of lessee of certain lands in Wind River Indian Reservation, Wyoming, for oil and gas mining to comply with lease provisions, operating regulations, regulations at part 227, or orders $1,617 1.02598 $1,659 25 CFR 243.8 Penalty for non-Native transferees of live Alaskan reindeer who violates part 243, takes reindeer without a permit, or fails to abide by permit terms $7,622 1.02598 $7,820 25 CFR 249.6(b) Penalty for fishing in violation of regulations at part 249 (Off-Reservation Treaty Fishing) $1,617 1.02598 $1,659 25 CFR 273.182(a) Penalty for misusing funds or property by officer, director, agent, or employee of, or connected with, any contractor or subcontractor $1,032 1.02598 $1,059 25 CFR 273.182(b) Penalty for misusing funds or property by officer, director, agent, or employee of, or connected with, any contractor or subcontractor $10,324 1.02598 $10,592 25 CFR 700.725 Penalty per head per day for each cow, bull, horse, mule, or donkey in trespass $1 and 3¢ 1.02598 $1 and 6¢ 25 CFR 700.725 Penalty per head per day for each sheep or goat in trespass 26¢ 1.02598 27¢ Consistent with the Act, the adjusted penalty levels for 2025 will take effect immediately upon the effective date of the adjustment. The adjusted penalty levels for 2025 will apply to penalties assessed after that date including, if consistent with agency policy, assessments associated with violations that occurred on or after November 2, 2015 (the date of the Act). The Act does not, however, change previously assessed penalties that the Bureau is collecting or has collected. Nor does the Act change an agency's existing statutory authorities to adjust penalties. III. Procedural Requirements A. Regulatory Planning and Review (E.O. 12866 and 13563) Executive Order 12866 provides that the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget will review all significant rules. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that this rule is not significant. Executive Order 13563 reaffirms the principles of E.O. 12866 while calling for improvements in the Nation's regulatory system to promote predictability, to reduce uncertainty, and to use the best, most innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory ends. The Executive order directs agencies to consider regulatory approaches that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for the public where these approaches are relevant, feasible, and consistent with regulatory objectives. E.O. 13563 emphasizes further that regulations must be based on the best available science and that the rulemaking process must allow for public participation and an open exchange of ideas. We have developed this rule in a manner consistent with these requirements. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(4), a summary of this rule may be found at *https://www.regulations.gov* by searching for “RIN 1076-AF79.” B. Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ) The Regulatory Flexibility Act

(RFA)requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for rules unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The RFA applies only to rules for which an agency is required to first publish a proposed rule. See 5 U.S.C. 603(a) and 604(a). A proposed inflation adjustment rule was not published in accordance with the Act. See Section III.M, “Administrative Procedure Act,” below. C. Congressional Review Act

(CRA)This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This rule:

(a)Does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more.

(b)Will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic regions.

(c)Does not have significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) This rule does not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or tribal governments, or the private sector of more than $100 million per year. The rule does not have a significant or unique effect on State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. A statement containing the information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ) is not required. E. Takings (E.O. 12630) This rule does not affect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under E.O. 12630. A takings implication assessment is not required. F. Federalism (E.O. 13132) Under the criteria in section 1 of E.O. 13132, this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. A federalism summary impact statement is not required. G. Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988) This rule complies with the requirements of E.O. 12988. Specifically, this rule:

(a)meets the criteria of section 3(a) requiring that all regulations be reviewed to eliminate errors and ambiguity and be written to minimize litigation; and

(b)meets the criteria of section 3(b)(2) requiring that all regulations be written in clear language and contain clear legal standards. H. Consultation With Indian Tribes (E.O. 13175 and Departmental Policy) The Department of the Interior strives to strengthen its government-to-government relationship with Indian tribes through a commitment to consultation with Indian Tribes and recognition of their right to self-governance and tribal sovereignty. We have evaluated this rule under the Department's consultation policy and under the criteria in E.O. 13175 and have determined that it has no substantial direct effects on federally recognized Indian Tribes and that consultation under the Department's tribal consultation policy is not required. I. Paperwork Reduction Act This rule does not contain information collection requirements, and a submission to the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ) is not required. We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. J. National Environmental Policy Act This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. A detailed statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(NEPA)is not required because the rule is covered by a categorical exclusion. This rule is excluded from the requirement to prepare a detailed statement because it is a regulation of an administrative nature. For further information see 43 CFR 46.210(i). We have also determined that the rule does not involve any of the extraordinary circumstances listed in 43 CFR 46.215 that would require further analysis under NEPA. K. Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O. 13211) This rule is not a significant energy action under the definition in E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is not required. L. Clarity of This Regulation We are required by E.O. 12866 and 12988 and by the Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain language. This means that each rule we publish must:

(a)Be logically organized;

(b)Use the active voice to address readers directly;

(c)Use clear language rather than jargon;

(d)Be divided into short sections and sentences; and

(e)Use lists and tables wherever possible. If you feel that we have not met these requirements, send us comments by one of the methods listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. To better help us revise the rule, your comments should be as specific as possible. For example, you should tell us the numbers of the sections or paragraphs that you find unclear, which sections or sentences are too long, the sections where you believe lists or tables would be useful, etc. M. Administrative Procedure Act The Act requires agencies to publish annual inflation adjustments by no later than January 15, of each year, notwithstanding section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act

(APA)(5 U.S.C. 553). OMB has interpreted this direction to mean that the usual APA public procedure for rulemaking—which includes public notice of a proposed rule, an opportunity for public comment, and a delay in the effective date of a final rule—is not required when agencies issue regulations to implement the annual adjustments to civil penalties that the Act requires. Accordingly, we are issuing the annual adjustments as a final rule without prior notice or an opportunity for comment and with an effective date immediately upon publication in the **Federal Register** . Section 553(b) of the APA provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that “notice and public procedure . . . are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest,” the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for prior public comment. Under section 553(b), the Bureau finds that there is good cause to promulgate this rule without first providing for public comment. It would not be possible to meet the deadlines imposed by the Act if we were to first publish a proposed rule, allow the public sufficient time to submit comments, analyze the comments, and publish a final rule. Also, the Bureau is promulgating this final rule to implement the statutory directive in the Act, which requires agencies to publish a final rule and to update the civil penalty amounts by applying a specified formula. The Bureau has no discretion to vary the amount of the adjustment to reflect any views or suggestions provided by commenters. Accordingly, it would serve no purpose to provide an opportunity for public comment on this rule prior to promulgation. Thus, providing for notice and public comment is impracticable and unnecessary. Furthermore, the Bureau finds under section 553(d)(3) of the APA that good cause exists to make this final rule effective immediately upon publication in the **Federal Register** . In the Act, Congress expressly required Federal agencies to publish annual inflation adjustments to civil penalties in the **Federal Register** by January 15 of each year, notwithstanding section 553 of the APA. Under the statutory framework and OMB guidance, the new penalty levels take effect immediately upon the effective date of the adjustment. The statutory deadline does not allow time to delay this rule's effective date beyond publication.
