Sec. 1503.301  Scope and purpose.


    (a) This subpart provides a mechanism for the regular adjustment for 
inflation of civil monetary penalties in conformity with the Federal 
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, 28 U.S.C. 2461 (note), 
as amended, in order to maintain the deterrent effect of civil monetary 
penalties and to promote compliance with the law. This subpart also sets 
out the current adjusted maximum civil monetary penalties or range of 
minimum and maximum civil monetary penalties for each statutory civil 
penalty subject to the TSA's jurisdiction.
    (b) Each adjustment to the maximum civil monetary penalty or the 
range of minimum and maximum civil monetary penalties, as applicable, 
made in accordance with this subpart applies prospectively from the date 
it becomes effective to actions initiated under this part, 
notwithstanding references to a specific maximum civil monetary penalty 
or range of minimum and maximum civil monetary penalties contained 
elsewhere in this part.
