Final answer:
While the reference focuses on OSHA fines ($7,000 - $70,000) for safety violations, it does not provide the minimum penalty for noncompliance with the OCR's Privacy Rule. Hence, without the specific data requested, we are unable to provide the exact minimum penalty per incidence demanded by the Office for Civil Rights.
Step-by-step explanation:
The minimum penalty per incidence for violations that the Office for Civil Rights finds for noncompliance to the Privacy Rule is not explicitly stated in the provided reference information. However, the reference does discuss various penalties related to OSHA standards, which are different from the Privacy Rule enforced by OCR (Office for Civil Rights). The OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards deal with workplace safety rather than privacy violations.
When discussing penalties related to OSHA, for a serious violation, the maximum OSHA fine is $7,000, and for a repeat or willful violation, it can go up to $70,000. Factors such as the gravity of the violation, size of the business, good faith, and history of previous violations are considered. Although this information is specific to OSHA and not directly related to the Office for Civil Rights or the Privacy Rule, it does provide context on how a government agency assesses penalties which might be somewhat analogous.
