Government Fines Get More Expensive Because Everything Else Did Too
Published Date: 1/16/2025
Rule
Summary
Starting January 16, 2025, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is raising its maximum fines for certain safety violations from $2,058 to $2,111 to keep up with inflation. This means anyone who breaks specific NTSB rules could face slightly bigger penalties. The change helps keep penalties fair and effective as prices rise each year.

If you violate certain NTSB rules (49 U.S.C. 1132; 1134(b); 1134(f)(1); 1136(g)), the maximum civil penalty the NTSB can impose increases from $2,058 to $2,111 effective January 16, 2025. The increase was calculated using an OMB multiplier of 1.02598 and applies only to penalties assessed after that date; the next adjustment will be calculated by January 15, 2026.
