Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule — Clean Air Act mobile-source penalties
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Overview
EPA publishes annual civil monetary penalty inflation adjustments that set the current maximum per-vehicle, per-violation dollar amount for Clean Air Act mobile-source violations.
Repeal relevance: Penalty amounts continue to scale for inflation each year even when prosecution is deprioritized; the schedule is the direct driver of large consent-decree headline numbers.
