This final rule establishes a new part 498, which will serve as a repository for the Social Security Administration's existing civil monetary penalty authorities and which will reflect and implement new civil monetary penalty authorities provided under the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994. In the first phase of this process, the Social Security Administration in this final rule will relocate its existing regulations for misuse of Social Security program words, letters, symbols, and emblems to part 498. In addition, the existing regulations will be updated in this final rule to reflect nondiscretionary changes made by the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994.
