PART 269_CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY INFLATION ADJUSTMENT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 269.4  Cost of living adjustments of civil monetary penalties.

    (a) The inflation adjustment under Sec. 269.3 shall be determined 
by increasing the maximum civil monetary penalty for each civil monetary 
penalty by the cost-of-living adjustment. Any increase determined under 
this paragraph shall be rounded to the nearest:
    (1) Multiple of $10 in the case of penalties less than or equal to 
$100;
    (2) Multiple of $100 in the case of penalties greater than $100 but 
less than or equal to $1,000;
    (3) Multiple of $1,000 in the case of penalties greater than $1,000 
but less than or equal to $10,000;
    (4) Multiple of $5,000 in the case of penalties greater than $10,000 
but less than or equal to $100,000;
    (5) Multiple of $10,000 in the case of penalties greater than 
$100,000 but less than or equal to $200,000; and
    (6) Multiple of $25,000 in the case of penalties greater than 
$200,000.
    (b) For purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, the term ``cost-
of-living adjustment'' means the percentage (if any) for each civil 
monetary penalty by which the Consumer Price Index for the month of June 
of the calendar year preceding the adjustment, exceeds the Consumer 
Price Index for the month of June of the calendar year in which the 
amount of such civil monetary penalty was last set or adjusted pursuant 
to law.
    (c) Limitation on initial adjustment. The first adjustment of civil 
monetary penalty pursuant to Sec. 269.3 may not exceed 10 percent of 
such penalty.
    (d) Inflation adjustment. Maximum civil monetary penalties within 
the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense are adjusted for inflation 
as follows:
