Administrative fine program extension
December 1, 2008
The Commission approved regulations to extend its Administrative Fine Program. The program was scheduled to cover reports only through December 31, 2008, unless Congress extended the program. Congress recently passed legislation to extend the program for reports covering through December 31, 2013, and President Bush signed the legislation into law on October 16, 2008. Therefore, the Commission has amended its regulations to reflect the extension of the program through 2013. The rule was published in the December 1, 2008, Federal Register. For more information on the Administrative Fine Program extension, see the November 2008 Record.
