The Section 3 rule "Enhancing and Streamlining the Implementation of Section 3 Requirements for Creating Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons and Eligible Businesses" published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2020, includes a requirement that the HUD Secretary update Section 3 project thresholds "not less than once every 5 years based on a national construction cost inflation factor through Federal Register notice not subject to public comment." This notice serves as an update of the 2020 version of the final rule, discusses the establishment of a national construction cost inflation factor for Section 3 projects, and establishes new Section 3 project thresholds.
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of sulfonic acids, C14-16-alkane hydroxy and C14-16-alkene, sodium salts (CAS Reg. No. 68439-57-6) when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant) in antimicrobial formulations applied to food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils under 40 CFR 180.940(a), at a maximum concentration of 1% in pesticide formulations. Ramboll US Consulting Inc., on behalf of Ecolab Inc., submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of sulfonic acids, C14-16-alkane hydroxy and C14-16-alkene, sodium salts, when used in accordance with the terms of those exemptions.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including small electric motors ("SEMs"). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to periodically determine whether more-stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant conservation of energy. In this final determination, DOE has determined that more-stringent energy conservation standards for SEMs would not be cost-effective and, therefore, DOE has determined that energy conservation standards for SEMs should not be amended.
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of rice bran wax (CAS Reg. No. 8016-60-2) when used as an inert ingredient (lubricant) on growing crops and raw agricultural commodities pre- and post-harvest, when applied to animals, and in antimicrobial formulations applied to food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food- processing equipment and utensils. Micro Powders, Inc., submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of rice bran wax when used in accordance with the terms of those exemptions.
This notice announces town hall meetings to allow external stakeholders a limited additional opportunity to provide input on refining the scope and burden of the CIRCIA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued in the Federal Register on April 4, 2024. The proposed CIRCIA rulemaking seeks to implement the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022, as amended, by implementing covered cyber incident and ransom payment reporting requirements for covered entities.
FMCSA amends the Federal regulations for State Driver's Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) issuing commercial driving credentials to non-domiciled individuals. This final rule reaffirms, with minor changes, the provisions of the interim final rule (IFR) published on September 29, 2025. Specifically, this final rule limits eligibility for non-domiciled Commercial Learner's Permits (CLPs) and Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) for foreign-domiciled individuals to those who hold specific, verifiable employment-based nonimmigrant status. This rule reaffirms the IFR requirements, aligning the issuance of non- domiciled CDLs with FMCSA's statutory mandate to ensure the fitness of all drivers who operate a CMV. By limiting eligibility to statuses subject to enhanced consular vetting of driver history and interagency screening, FMCSA restores the integrity of the CDL system, closes a significant safety gap, and enhances the safety of the traveling public.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) collects bonds from parties engaging in transactions or activities with CBP to adequately protect the revenue of the United States and ensure compliance with U.S. statutes and regulations. This document proposes to amend the CBP regulations to require that most bonds be transmitted to CBP electronically via a specialized system by the surety securing the bond, or by the principal on a bond secured by cash in lieu of surety. The changes proposed in this document further centralize and streamline CBP's bond program.
This notice extends the public comment period for the review of the Federal Subsistence Management Program (Program) that was announced in the Federal Register on December 15, 2025. This extension provides additional time for stakeholders to submit comments.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is removing a regulation that was adopted to provide temporary flexibility under VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) but is no longer applicable. The regulation relaxed PCAFC requirements for in-person home visits during the national emergency related to Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). The removal of this regulation is appropriate because the national emergency related to COVID-19 (COVID- 19 National Emergency) has ended and the regulation has no effect.
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) approves an amendment to the Montana regulatory program under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Montana proposed an addition to the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), which would revise and add regulations in the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) pertaining to ownership and control. These changes were required by an October 2, 2009, letter from OSM to Montana and in response, Senate bill 92, was approved by the 2013 Montana Legislature. Montana also proposed other ARM revisions unrelated to ownership and control.
We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), are approving an amendment to the North Dakota regulatory program under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). North Dakota proposed amendments to its program based on changes to the North Dakota Century Code made by the State legislature that resulted in changes to the North Dakota Administrative Code for surface coal mining and reclamation operations. The changes added a perfected lien or security interest in real property to the definition of collateral bond. The changes also added conditions that must be met for real property pledged as collateral bond.
This action proposes to modify the Class D airspace area, establish a Class E airspace area designated as a surface area (Class E2 airspace area), and revoke the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D airspace area (Class E4 airspace area) at Travis Air Force Base, Fairfield, CA. Additionally, this action proposes administrative amendments to update the airport's legal descriptions. These actions would support the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), a component within the United States Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), is finalizing without changes its Privacy Act exemption regulations for the system of records titled, Adjudication and Appeal Records of the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge and Board of Immigration Appeals, JUSTICE/EOIR-001, which were published as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on August 29, 2025. Specifically, the Department's regulations will exempt the records maintained in JUSTICE/ EOIR-001 from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act. The exemptions are necessary to protect properly classified information and law enforcement sensitive materials maintained in the system. The Department received one anonymous comment in support of this rulemaking in response to the NPRM.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the obsolescence of the clamp holding in place the oxygen generator in the container and introduction of a new clamp from another manufacturer with different locking torque specifications, which were not properly reflected in Airbus documentation. This proposed AD would require replacing each affected part, would prohibit accomplishing maintenance actions using certain versions of a maintenance procedure task, and would also prohibit the installation of affected parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This action proposes to establish Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class E surface area (Class E4 airspace area), modify Class E airspace area designated as a surface area (Class E2 airspace area), and revoke Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface (Class E5 airspace area) at Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (TRM), Palm Springs, CA. These actions support the safe and efficient management of instrument flight rules (IFR) and visual flight rules (VFR) operations at the airport. Additionally, the FAA proposes administrative revisions to TRM's legal descriptions of the controlled airspace areas associated with TRM's to ensure consistency within the FAA's aeronautical database.
This rule removes HUD's John Heinz Neighborhood Development Program regulations because the program has not been funded since 1998 and all grants have been closed out.
This regulation establishes a tolerance for residues of the insecticide hexythiazox and its metabolites in or on lemon/lime, subgroup 10-10B at 0.6 parts per million (ppm). This regulation also establishes separate regional tolerances for grapefruit, subgroup 10- 10C (CA, AZ, TX only) at 0.5 ppm and orange, subgroup 10-10A (CA, AZ, TX only) at 0.5 ppm. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), Gowan Company submitted a petition to EPA requesting that EPA establish a maximum permissible level for residues of this pesticide.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the Ohio State Implementation Plan (SIP). On November 6, 2024, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) submitted the State's plans for maintaining the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard) in the Columbus, Ohio; Cleveland- Akron-Lorain, Ohio; and Cincinnati, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana areas. The EPA is approving these maintenance plans because they provide for the maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS for each area for 10 additional years as required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA is also finding adequate and approving the motor vehicle emission budgets for each area. This approval makes certain commitments related to maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in these areas federally enforceable as part of the Ohio SIP.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially approve revisions to the state plan for designated facilities and pollutants applicable to existing Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) units in the State of West Virginia ("West Virginia"). This proposed action will partially approve West Virginia's revisions to its state plan to include rules implementing the EPA's amended emission guidelines for CISWI units developed under sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA is proposing to approve the state plan in part and to amend the agency regulations in accordance with the requirements of the CAA.
Pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal from the state of Oklahoma demonstrating that the State satisfies the interstate transport requirements of section 110, also known as the "good neighbor" provision of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), for the 2010 1- hour sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The good neighbor provision requires each State's implementation plan to contain adequate provisions prohibiting the interstate transport of air pollution in amounts that will contribute significantly to nonattainment, or interfere with maintenance, of a NAAQS in any other State.
The Environmental Protection Agency is correcting a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2025, regarding the deletion of one site and partial deletion of three sites from the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL). This action is necessary to correct an error in the name of one site.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of Illinois' 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard) Moderate nonattainment area State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission for the Chicago and the Metro East St. Louis areas. The portions of the SIP submission that the EPA is proposing to approve are the reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstration including the associated motor vehicle emissions budgets for 2023, the motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program, the nonattainment new source review (NNSR) program, and the updated 2017 base year emissions inventories. The EPA is proposing to approve these portions of the State's SIP submission pursuant to section 110 and part D of the Clean Air Act (CAA), and the EPA's regulations. The EPA is also initiating the adequacy process for the 2023 motor vehicle emissions budgets (budgets) for the Chicago and Metro East St. Louis Moderate ozone nonattainment RFP demonstration included in this SIP submission.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve, under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the limited maintenance plan (LMP) for the 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ten counties which comprise the New York portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island (NY-NJ-CT) 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS maintenance area. This LMP was submitted on October 15, 2024 by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). The plan addresses the second ten-year maintenance period for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers, known as PM<INF>2.5</INF>. The EPA is proposing approval of New York's LMP submission because it provides for the maintenance of the 2006 24-hour PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS through the end of the second ten-year portion of the maintenance period. In addition, the EPA completed the adequacy review process of this New York PM<INF>2.5</INF> LMP for transportation conformity purposes on September 4, 2025.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the regional haze state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Oklahoma on August 9, 2022 (Oklahoma's 2022 SIP submission), to satisfy applicable requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) for the program's second implementation (planning) period. Oklahoma's SIP submission addresses 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 taking this action pursuant to the CAA.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve, under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act"), revisions to the Arizona state implementation plan (SIP) addressing reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standard") within the Gila County portion of the Phoenix-Mesa ozone nonattainment area. This proposal explains our evaluation of Arizona's SIP submittal and basis for proposing approval.
This proposed rule would update regulations for fish and shellfish seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means related to taking of fish and shellfish for subsistence uses during the 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 regulatory years. The Federal Subsistence Board (the Board) is on a schedule of completing the process of revising subsistence take of fish and shellfish regulations in odd-numbered years and subsistence take of wildlife regulations in even-numbered years; public proposal and review processes take place during the preceding year. The Board also addresses customary and traditional use determinations during the applicable cycle and rural determinations every other fish and shellfish regulatory cycle. When final, the resulting rulemaking will replace the existing subsistence fish and shellfish taking regulations. This proposed rule could also amend the general regulations on subsistence taking of fish and wildlife. During this rulemaking cycle, the Board will accept proposals for rural determinations that will be decided by the Board during the subsequent fish and shellfish regulatory cycle.
In 2022, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a consumer product safety standard for crib mattresses under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The standard incorporated by reference ASTM F2933-21, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Crib Mattresses, with modifications to make the standard more stringent. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a voluntary standard, when a voluntary standards organization revises the standard. Consistent with the CPSIA update process, this direct final rule updates the mandatory standard for crib mattresses to incorporate by reference ASTM's 2025 version of the voluntary standard, while maintaining certain modifications.
