NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels less than 50 feet (15.2 meters (m)) length overall using hook-and-line (HAL) gear in the Central Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the 2026 A season allowance of the total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod allocated to catcher vessels less than 50 feet (15.2 m) length overall using HAL gear in the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is publishing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to seek feedback on reconsidering Clean Water Act Hazardous Substance Facility Response Plans regulations that were published in the Federal Register on March 28, 2024. This advanced notice of proposed rulemaking seeks feedback on potential amendments to address implementation challenges and clarify requirements from the 2024 final rule. Any resulting proposed amendments will align with Administration priorities and would prioritize opportunities to address regulatory burden while maintaining planning requirements to protect human health and the environment when responding to Clean Water Act Hazardous Substance worst case discharges.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-300F series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a supplier notice of escapement documenting that some titanium cargo track crown fittings had suspect material certifications. This proposed AD would require an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer inspection to identify the material composition of the cargo track crown fittings or replacement of all cargo track crown fittings with new cargo track crown fittings, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Coast Guard proposes to establish two new fairway anchorages adjacent to the existing safety fairway approaches to Sabine Bank and Sabine Pass, Texas. These two additional fairway anchorages would be in deeper water than the existing anchorages along the Sabine Pass fairway to accommodate vessels, primarily petroleum tankers, with deeper drafts. This rulemaking enhances the efficient transportation of energy resources and advances our national energy dominance. The establishment of these anchorages in deeper waters enhances navigation safety and the flow of commerce, contributing to economic growth and national energy security.
This document amends the Table of TV Allotments (table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules by substituting channel *33 for channel *8 at Hutchinson, Kansas in response to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by Kansas Public Telecommunications Service, Inc. (Kansas Public or Petitioner), the licensee of noncommercial educational PBS member television station KPTS(TV) (KPTS or Station), Hutchinson, Kansas. In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner asserts that allowing the Station to move from a VHF to a UHF channel would serve the public interest by improving signal reception for viewers. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements. The substitution of channel *33 for channel *8 in the Table will allow the Station to improve its over- the-air reception within its coverage area and is not predicted to result in viewer loss.
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-03-08, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and - 1041 airplanes. AD 2021-03-08 requires repetitive inspections for migration of the bushings of the horizontal tail plane (HTP) lateral load fittings (LLF) on the left- and right-hand sides and terminating repair or modification of any affected bushing. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-03-08, new occurrences of bushing migration on HTP LLF were reported, and a determination was made that certain repairs can no longer be considered terminating action to the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2021-03- 08, remove a certain terminating action, and expand the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Coast Guard is issuing new base Great Lakes pilotage rates for the 2026 shipping season. The Coast Guard estimates that this final rule will result in an approximately 6-percent decrease in operating costs compared to the 2025 season, while facilitating commerce and supply chains. The Coast Guard is also making one change to the ratemaking methodology: the removal of Step 5 regarding the working capital fund. We conducted a full ratemaking for the 2026 ratemaking and considered comments on the Great Lakes pilotage ratemaking methodology.
OFPP, DoD, GSA, and NASA (collectively referred to as the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, or FAR Council) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to partially implement a section of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 which prohibits executive agencies from procuring or obtaining certain products and services that include covered semiconductor products or services effective December 23, 2027.
By this rule, the Department of Commerce ("Department") amends its regulations implementing the Privacy Act of 1974. Specifically, this rule amends those regulations by updating the position title of an agency official, removing unnecessary language related to judicial review, eliminating a provision that merely cross- references and restates statutory criminal penalty provisions, updating the name and number of an existing Privacy Act system of records, and updating the list of denying officials set forth in an appendix to the regulations. This action is necessary to ensure that the Department's regulations are up-to-date, to reduce regulatory complexity and clutter, and to minimize the potential for confusion among the public. This action is intended to promote regulatory accuracy, clarity, and efficiency without diminishing any substantive right or obligation established by the Privacy Act.
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) adopts rules regarding direct access to numbers by providers of interconnected Voice over internet Protocol (VoIP) services. The Commission takes this action in furtherance of Congress' directive in the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act to examine ways to reduce access to telephone numbers by potential perpetrators of illegal robocalls. These actions continue to safeguard U.S. numbering resources and consumers, protect national security interests, promote public safety, and ensure compliance with other important Commission rules.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish revised procedures and policies for appeals of material supervisory determinations by OCC supervised entities. The proposed changes would reflect the OCC's experience administering the bank appeals process and are intended to enhance the independence and efficiency of the appeals function.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends 38 CFR 4.10 within the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD). This amendment clarifies VA's longstanding interpretation of Sec. 4.10 and, in doing so, amends the text to correct judicial interpretations that VA has concluded misconstrue the role of medication and treatment in evaluating functional impairment. Specifically, this amendment clarifies that veterans should be compensated for the actual level of functional impairment they experience and, therefore, that the ameliorative effects of medication should not be estimated or discounted when evaluating the severity of a veteran's disability at the time of the disability examination. This regulation is needed immediately to minimize the negative impact of an erroneous line of cases culminating in the recent decision of Ingram v. Collins, 38 Vet. App. 130 (2025), which could be applied broadly to over 500 separate diagnostic codes, requiring re-adjudications of over 350,000 currently pending claims. This in turn would overburden VA's claims adjudicatory capacity. In addition, Ingram requires VA to retrain all of its medical examiners and adjudicators to make assessments and decisions based not on the evidence before them but instead based on what they hypothesize the evidence would show if a veteran's disability were left untreated. For these and other reasons explained below, this regulation is critical to the integrity of the VA disability claims system.
This action proposes to amend Class D and Class E2 airspace at New Castle Airport, Wilmington, DE. This action would increase the lateral dimensions of the Wilmington, DE Class D and Class E2 airspace, which are overlays, by adding a 2-mile wide, 0.2-mile long extension to the existing 4.2-mile radius, along the 008[deg] bearing from the New Castle Airport, to support instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. This action would also update language in the airspace legal description to comply with current FAA directives.
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) published a document in the Federal Register of February 5, 2026, concerning request for replies to oppositions on specifications for Petition for Reconsideration of Action in Rulemaking Proceeding Application for Review of Action in Rulemaking Proceeding. The document contained incorrect dates.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove the regional haze state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by Hawaii on August 2, 2024, under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) for the program's second implementation period. Hawaii's SIP submission is intended to address the requirement that states must periodically revise their long-term strategies for making reasonable progress towards the national goal of preventing any future, and remedying any existing, anthropogenic impairment of visibility, including regional haze, in mandatory Class I Federal areas. The SIP submission also addresses other applicable requirements for the second implementation period of the regional haze program. The EPA is proposing to approve the portions of Hawaii's submission relating to calculations of baseline, current, and natural visibility conditions, progress to date, the uniform rate of progress, reasonably attributable visibility impairment, progress report requirements, and monitoring strategy and other implementation plan requirements. The EPA is proposing to disapprove the long-term strategy, including the enforceable shutdown of several electric generating units at facilities on the islands of Hawaii and Maui. Additionally, we are proposing to disapprove the portions of the submission relating to reasonable progress goals and FLM consultation requirements.
This document makes nomenclature changes to sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) administered by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This action is necessary to conform TSA regulations with statutory terminology used in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The U.S. Department of Education (Department) proposes to issue this interpretive rule to revise and clarify its prior interpretation of its position on the use of descriptive terms by Department-recognized accrediting agencies, specifically, the use of "regional" and "national." The Department proposes this interpretive rule to interpret Section 496 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), and the general duty of accrediting agencies to not make false statements and misrepresentations. Institutions of higher education also are required to ensure that they do not misrepresent their accreditation status to students and the public.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture is soliciting comments regarding appropriate standards for the care of breeding female dogs at dog breeding facilities and exercise and socialization of dogs subject to the Animal Welfare Act. Information obtained from public comments will help identify outdated standards, new science, and stakeholder interest.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The FAA previously sent this AD to all known U.S. owners and operators of these airplanes. This AD was prompted by discrepancies in the locking features on certain network interfaces. This AD requires installing locking features on certain network interfaces to prevent unapproved access to these network interfaces. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Federal Communications Commission (the FCC or Commission) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on January 14, 2026. The document issued a final rule regarding "Implementation of the Final Acts of the World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2015) (WRC-15), Other Allocation Issues, and Related Rule Updates".
The Coast Guard proposes to amend the regulations establishing safety zones for annual fireworks displays in the Captain of the Port Zone Columbia River. This action would add a safety zone for a fireworks display, remove a safety zone for a fireworks display no longer under the Coast Guard's authority and jurisdiction, edit a fireworks display's name, and add a second date for a fireworks display. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Columbia River. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
This action amends Class D airspace and Class E2 airspace extending upward from the surface to 2,500 feet MSL, within a 4.3-mile radius of Miami Executive Airport, Miami, FL. It also amends Class E5 airspace from 700 feet above the surface and 7 miles around Miami Executive Airport, Miami, FL, and within 2.4 miles each side of the 267[deg] bearing from the LAYDN IAF extending from the 7-mile radius to 7 miles west of the IAF. This action also makes administrative updates to the coordinates for LAYDN IAF, Pompano Beach Airpark, and North Perry Airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport.
This action proposes to modify the Class D airspace area and the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D airspace area (Class E4 airspace area) at Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), Palm Springs, CA. Additionally, the FAA proposes several administrative corrections to the airport's airspace legal descriptions. These actions will support the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) and visual flight rules (VFR) operations at the airport.
The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulation for the Bradenton Area River Regatta on February 21, 2026, to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation for marine events for Sector St. Petersburg identifies the regulated area for this event in Bradenton, FL. During the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area unless authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander or a designated representative.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of cracks found in the fuselage skin underneath the aft drain mast. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin and structure common to the aft drain mast for any crack or corrosion and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all AHD Model EC135P1, EC135P2, EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, EC135T3, EC635T2+, MBB-BK 117 C-2, and MBB-BK 117 D- 2 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracks on the cable drum of the rescue hoist assembly. This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting the cable drum of certain rescue hoist assemblies for cracks and depending on the results, replacing or repairing the cable drum of the rescue hoist assembly. This proposed AD would also prohibit the operation and the installation of an affected rescue hoist assembly on a helicopter, unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This action proposes to establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Wall Municipal Airport, Wall, SD, to accommodate the airport's transition to instrument flight rules (IFR) service. This action would support the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
This regulation amends the current tolerance for residues of the insecticide afidopyropen in or on the food and feed commodities of raw agricultural commodity of strawberry by increasing it from 0.15 parts per million (ppm) to 0.3 ppm and removes the established time- limited tolerance in or on strawberry at 0.3 ppm. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), BASF Corporation submitted a petition to EPA requesting that EPA establish a maximum permissible level for residues of this pesticide in or on the identified commodity.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including metal halide lamp fixtures ("MHLFs"). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to periodically review its existing standards to determine whether more-stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified and would result in significant energy savings. In this final determination, DOE has determined that more-stringent energy conservation standards for MHLFs would not be cost effective and, therefore, DOE does not need to amend its energy conservation standards for MHLFs.
