Civil Money Penalties: Procedures for Investigations, Imposition of Penalties, and Hearings Extension of Expiration

October 10, 2005 Civil Money Penalties: Procedures for Investigations, Imposition of Penalties, and Hearings Extension of Expiration HHS has proposed a rule to supersede subpart E. However, this rulemaking will not be completed by September 16, 2005, when the interim final rule that adopted subpart E is scheduled to expire.
