2016-17552. Department of Labor Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Catch-Up Adjustments; Correction

AGENCY:

Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor.

ACTION:

Interim final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is correcting an interim final rule published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2016 (81 FR 43430). The interim final rule adjusts the amounts of civil penalties assessed or enforced in its regulations pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015. That document inadvertently provided an incorrect authority citation when revising the general authority section for 20 CFR part 655. This document corrects the interim final rule by revising the appropriate authority section.

DATES:

Effective Date: August 1, 2016.
