| 2011-29783 | Civil Penalty Calculation Methodology | Notice | FMCSA is currently evaluating its civil penalty methodology. Part of this evaluation includes a forthcoming explanation of the Uniform Fine Assessment (UFA) algorithm, which FMCSA currently uses for calculation of civil penalties. UFA takes into account the statutory penalty factors under 49 U.S.C. 521(b)(2)(D). The evaluation will also consider penalties for small businesses, including the effect of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) on those penalties. The purpose of this notice is to clarify the FMCSA methodology for calculation of certain civil penalties. To induce compliance with federal regulations, FMCSA will impose a minimum civil penalty that is calculated by UFA. In many cases involving small businesses, the penalty will be lower than a large business under similar circumstances. | 2011-11-17 | 2011 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/11/17/2011-29783/civil-penalty-calculation-methodology | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-11-17/pdf/2011-29783.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA is currently evaluating its civil penalty methodology.
