What the agency says
The Railroad Retirement Board amends its regulations to remove provisions purporting to set and adjust civil monetary penalties assessed under the False Claims Act. The amendment also removes obsolete language relating to a one-time catch-up inflation adjustment that was completed in 2016 and changes references to the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act to refer to the Administrative False Claims Act.
