## Abstract

We are adding new rules that establish hearing procedures for the Social Security Administration's civil monetary penalty cases. These rules implement the provisions of section 1129 and section 1140 of the Social Security Act which require an opportunity to be heard on the record before a determination to impose penalties or assessments becomes final.
