NMFS announces that the State of New Jersey is transferring a portion of their 2025 commercial bluefish quota to the State of North Carolina. This quota adjustment is necessary to comply with the Atlantic Bluefish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) quota transfer provisions. This announcement informs the public of the revised 2025 commercial bluefish quotas for New Jersey and North Carolina.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC" or "Commission") is adopting a final rule (the "Final Rule") amending certain of the Commission's business conduct and documentation requirements applicable to swap dealers and major swap participants. The Final Rule provides exceptions to compliance with such requirements when executing swaps that are intended by the parties to be cleared contemporaneously with execution, or subject to prime broker arrangements that meet certain qualifying conditions, and makes certain other changes discussed herein. The adopted amendments supersede certain no-action positions issued by the Commission's Market Participants Division ("MPD"), which the Commission expects MPD to terminate in due course.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is proposing to amend its regulations in order to fully implement the Administrative False Claims Act (AFCA), as amended by the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. This updated rule establishes clear and comprehensive administrative procedures for investigating, evaluating, and imposing civil penalties and monetary assessments on individuals or entities that knowingly make, submit, or present false claims, representations, or misleading statements to NASA. The AFCA offers a streamlined, agency-level enforcement remedy that enables NASA to more effectively address smaller, lower-dollar fraud cases, safeguard critical Federal funds, and strongly deter fraudulent conduct.
In December 2020, DHS and DOJ (collectively, "the Departments") issued a final rule that clarified when an alien who poses a public health risk is ineligible for asylum and withholding of removal and revised their credible fear screening regulations. After multiple delays, the rule is scheduled to take effect on December 31, 2025. However, since December 2020, the Departments have further amended their regulations, complicating the codification of the 2020 rule. In this final rule, the Departments are withdrawing certain amendments from the 2020 rule while leaving unaltered the rule's substantive public health-related provisions, which will become effective as scheduled.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing a rule to change the circumstances and procedures for adjudicating appeals from employees covered by these provisions and terminated during their probationary or trial periods and supervisors and managers who fail to complete their probationary periods. This change follows the President's rescinding of the regulations at subpart H of part 315 of this chapter as directed by Executive Order 14284. As proposed, employees would file appeals limited to: discrimination based on partisan political reasons or marital status; and failure to follow procedures for terminations based upon pre-appointment reasons. OPM would replace the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) as the adjudicative agency for all appeals. Employees who wish to pursue claims of discrimination under statutes administered by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) would not be allowed to raise these claims with OPM.
NMFS announces that the State of North Carolina is transferring a portion of its 2025 commercial summer flounder quota to the State of New Jersey. This adjustment to the 2025 fishing year quota is necessary to comply with the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan (FMP) quota transfer provisions. This announcement informs the public of the revised 2025 commercial quotas for North Carolina and New Jersey.
NMFS is reallocating the projected unused amount of Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC) from vessels using jig gear, to catcher vessels less than 60 feet (18.3 meters (m)) length overall (LOA) using hook-and-line or pot gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) management area. This action is necessary to allow the A season allowance of the 2026 TAC of Pacific cod to be harvested.
The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a permanent safety zone for certain navigable waters of the Rio Grande River. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by cryogenics and structural tests of SpaceX rockets at their Massey's test site. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Corpus Christi. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is proposing to amend its guidelines relating to heightened standards for insured national banks, insured Federal savings associations, and insured Federal branches (Guidelines) to increase the average total consolidated assets threshold for applying the Guidelines from $50 billion to $700 billion. In addition, the proposal would clarify certain compliance dates and make other technical amendments.
The OCC is proposing to issue a preemption determination concluding that federal law preempts state laws that eliminate OCC- regulated banks' flexibility to decide whether and to what extent to (1) pay interest or other compensation on funds placed in real estate escrow accounts; or (2) assess fees in connection with such accounts. This preemption determination would provide much needed clarity to banks and other stakeholders.
This action proposes to modify the Class E airspace area designated as a surface area for an airport and the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Ketchikan International Airport, Ketchikan, AK. Additionally, this action proposes administrative modifications to the airport's Class E airspace legal descriptions. These actions would support the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
The OCC is issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to codify longstanding powers of national banks and Federal savings associations (collectively, banks) to establish or maintain real estate lending escrow accounts and to exercise flexibility in making business judgment as to the terms and conditions of such accounts, including whether and to what extent to offer any compensation or to assess any fees related thereto.
This document further extends the compliance date for HUD's final rule entitled Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016: Implementation of Sections 102 and 104 (HOTMA final rule) for Community Planning and Development (CPD) programs. Specifically, HUD is extending the compliance date for the HOME Investment Partnerships program (HOME), HOME-American Rescue Plan program, Housing Trust Fund (HTF), Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG), Emergency Solution Grants (ESG), Continuum of Care (CoC) programs, and CPD programs funded through competitive processes (Competitive Programs). This action is necessary to allow additional time for HUD to finalize necessary system updates and for CPD grantees to fully incorporate the new income and asset requirements into their programs.
This action proposes to modify the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and remove the Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface, at Denver International Airport, Denver, CO. Additionally, this action proposes an administrative modification to the airport's Class E airspace legal description. These actions would support the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations within the airspace proposed herein.
On January 2, 2025, DHS adjusted for inflation its civil monetary penalties for 2025, in accordance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 and Executive Office of the President (EOP) Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. The new penalty amounts were effective for penalties assessed after January 2, 2025, whose associated violations occurred after November 2, 2015. DHS is making a technical amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations to make several clerical revisions to the codified 2025 penalty amounts.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is amending the processes by which an insured State nonmember bank may establish a branch or relocate a main office or branch by eliminating certain filing requirements, reducing processing timelines, and updating public notice procedures. The FDIC is also making corresponding changes to procedures applicable to the relocation of an insured branch of a foreign bank.
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for all navigable waters within a 500-foot radius of 38[deg]12'11.1" N, 92[deg]37'59.4" W, at Mile Marker 0.2 on the Lake of the Ozarks. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by a fireworks display. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Upper Mississippi River.
This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is amending its regulations governing the process by which U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) selects H-1B registrations for unique beneficiaries for filing of H-1B cap-subject petitions (or H-1B petitions for any year in which the registration requirement is suspended). Through this rule, DHS is implementing a weighted selection process that will generally favor the allocation of H-1B visas to higher-skilled and higher-paid aliens, while maintaining the opportunity for employers to secure H-1B workers at all wage levels, to better serve the congressional intent for the H-1B program. This rule will be effective in time for the FY 2027 registration season.
The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing this proposed rule to streamline its regulations governing advertising and the notice of insured status. This proposed rule would eliminate provisions concerning the official advertising statement. This action is undertaken to reduce regulatory complexity, and the intended effect is to reduce the administrative burden and costs for federally insured credit unions (FICUs) and provide them with greater flexibility in their advertising activities. The proposed rule would not amend requirements related to displaying the official sign.
The NCUA Board (Board) seeks comment on a proposed rule to remove the regulations related to approval and policies on making loans to other credit unions. While this provision will no longer be codified in regulation, Federal Credit Unions would remain subject to statutory requirements related to making loans to credit unions. Federally insured state-chartered credit unions would remain subject to any other applicable NCUA or state law or regulation.
The NCUA Board (Board) is publishing this proposed rule to amend the requirements for federally insured credit unions (FICUs) to report catastrophic acts to the agency. By providing more time for FICUs to notify the agency of the occurrence of a catastrophic act and by eliminating the specific list of items to be documented, the Board expects the proposed rule to reduce the compliance burden and allow FICUs to focus their resources on recovery and core functions without compromising safety and soundness.
The NCUA Board (Board) seeks comment on a proposed rule to remove the segregated deposit and collateral requirements when a federally insured credit union (FICU) acts as a surety and guarantor. Removing this regulation will provide FICUs with greater flexibility to design products that meet member needs. FICUs would remain subject to the other requirements regarding surety and guaranty agreements.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-13- 12, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2025-13-12 required replacement of any affected elevator flight control remote module (FCRM), prohibited the installation of aileron or spoiler FCRMs in place of elevator or rudder FCRMs, and limited the installation of FCRMs under certain conditions. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-13-12, the manufacturer developed a modification that eliminates the unsafe condition. This AD continues to require the actions of AD 2025-13-12. This AD also requires installation of the flight control and guidance system (FCGS) primary computer (PRIM) P14.1.3 and secondary computer (SEC) S14.1.2 software standards and prohibits installation of earlier software standards. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters of the Houston Ship Channel around the Beltway 8 Bridge (Sam Houston Tollway Ship Channel Bridge), during bridge construction and demolition activities. The temporary safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by constructing a new bridge. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Houston-Galveston.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.A. Model A119 and AW119 MKII helicopters. This AD was prompted by reports of trapped residue in the rear pneumatic line due to a non-optimal cleaning procedure. This AD requires accomplishing repetitive engine acceleration checks and, depending on the results, replacing the rear pneumatic line and inspecting the fuel control unit (FCU), and accomplishing any necessary corrective actions. This AD also requires replacing certain parts if the engine acceleration check exceeds the maximum limit, which terminates the repetitive acceleration checks. If the limits do not exceed the maximum limit, this AD would allow this replacement as an optional terminating action. Additionally, this AD prohibits installing an affected engine or FCU on a helicopter unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
NMFS announces that the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council has submitted Amendment 21 to the Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Fishery Management Plan for review and approval by the Secretary of Commerce. We are requesting comments from the public on the amendment. Amendment 21, also known as the Species Separation Requirements Amendment, would allow both surfclams and ocean quahogs to be landed on the same fishing trip. To ensure accurate accounting for the catch, the amendment would also implement additional monitoring and reporting requirements, both at sea and at the dealer where the mixed catch would be sorted.
The Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (AFIDA) implementing regulations establish requirements under which foreign persons must report interests in U.S. agricultural lands to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). AFIDA regulations describe the type of interest in agricultural land a foreign person must have to trigger the reporting requirement, specific information that must be included in the report, and the mechanics of filing the report with USDA. AFIDA also requires some information about foreign persons who hold an interest in the agricultural land even though they may not own it directly, provided those foreign persons have "significant interest or substantial control" in the direct interest holder. USDA uses information from the filings to produce periodic reports to Congress on the effect that foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land has on family farms and rural communities, and for other purposes. AFIDA regulations were last updated in 2006. Since that time, national security attention to foreign ownership or substantial control of agricultural land has increased. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, use USDA information from AFIDA filings to identify and review transactions that may pose national security risks, such as the location of agricultural land near sensitive military bases. Recent analyses, including a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), have identified flaws in USDA's processes for collecting, tracking, and sharing AFIDA data. These deficiencies, combined with evolving national security concerns and a Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 requirement for USDA to develop a streamlined process for electronic submission and retention of AFIDA disclosures, lead USDA to examine AFIDA regulations and invite public input on changes that would improve information collection activities in a manner responsive to national security and the use of agricultural land.
This rule amends the Department's organizational regulations by eliminating the Office of the Executive Secretariat as a separate office and consolidating its functions within the Justice Management Division.
