Implementation of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act and Adjustment of Amounts for 2025-Continuation

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is notifying the public that its civil monetary penalty amounts will not increase for the 2026 calendar year. NASA is required by statute to amend its regulations annually to make inflation adjustments to civil monetary penalties it assesses or enforces. In accordance with guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NASA will continue to use the 2025 civil monetary penalty levels because there is no cost-of-living adjustment for 2026. The official record describes this as a completed action.
