The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 established annual reporting requirements for civil monetary penalties assessed and collected by Federal agencies. Civil penalties are defined as any non-criminal penalty, fine or other sanction for which a given dollar amount or maximum amount is specified by Federal law, and that is assessed or enforced by an agency as a result of an administrative proceeding or civil action in the Federal courts. The Department has assessed fines on individuals and companies for exporting defense materials without required approvals and for misrepresenting facts on export applications.
