    CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY ADJUSTMENTS FOR
                      INFLATION

AGENCY:  Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION:  Final rule.
SUMMARY:   In this final rule, the Department of Homeland Secu-
rity (DHS) is making the 2019 annual inflation adjustment to its civil
monetary penalties. The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment
Act Improvements Act of 2015 (2015 Act) was signed into law on
November 2, 2015. Pursuant to the 2015 Act, all agencies must adjust
civil monetary penalties annually and publish the adjustment in the
Federal Register. Accordingly, this final rule adjusts DHS's civil
monetary penalties for 2019 pursuant to the 2015 Act and OMB
guidance. The new penalties will be effective for penalties assessed
after April 5, 2019 whose associated violations occurred after Novem-
ber 2, 2015.
DATES:  This rule is effective on April 5, 2019.
