This rule amends the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's regulation on Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer Plans by substituting a new table for determining expected retirement ages for participants in pension plans undergoing distress or involuntary termination with valuation dates falling in 2026. This table is needed to compute the value of early retirement benefits and, thus, the total value of benefits under a plan. This rule also provides the mortality assumption for use with PBGC's missing participants program for determination dates in 2026.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations that govern the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) Traumatic Injury Protection (TSGLI) program to correct an unintended amendment to the TSGLI Schedule of Losses for payments for inability to perform at least two activities of daily living (ADL) for 15, 30, 60, and 90 consecutive day periods as a result of a traumatic injury other than a traumatic brain injury.
On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive order rescinding certain Executive orders and actions, which revoked an Executive order concerning nondisplacement of qualified workers under Federal service contracts and directed the heads of each agency to take immediate steps to effectuate the revocations listed. In accordance with this directive, the Department of Labor is issuing a final rule to rescind the regulations on nondisplacement of qualified workers under service contracts, which were promulgated solely pursuant to the authority provided by the revoked Executive order.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC or agency) is proposing supplemental guidance on a simplified strategic plan process for community banks interested in requesting that the OCC evaluate their Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) performance under a strategic plan. The proposed simplified strategic plan process is designed to make the strategic plan option more accessible to and less burdensome for community banks.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is rescinding its 2023 policy statement interpreting section 9(13) of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA) (2023 Policy Statement), which set out a presumption for how the Board would exercise its authority under that provision and elaborated on supervisory expectations at that time related to "novel and unprecedented" activities. The Board is also withdrawing from the record the Supplementary Information that accompanied the 2023 Policy Statement, which discussed specific crypto- asset activities. The Board is replacing the 2023 Policy Statement with a new policy statement on section 9(13) of the FRA, which is designed to facilitate innovation by state member banks in a manner that is consistent with bank safety and soundness and preserving the stability of the U.S. financial system. The new policy statement also provides guidance to uninsured state member banks and uninsured state-chartered bank applicants for membership who may seek to engage in activities as principal that are not permissible for insured state member banks.
The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone for the Stage Nine Entertainment, Sacramento New Year's Eve Fireworks display in the Captain of the Port, San Francisco area of responsibility during the dates and times noted below. This action is necessary to protect life and property of the maritime public from the hazards associated with the fireworks display. During the enforcement period, unauthorized persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or anchoring in the safety zone, unless authorized by the Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or other federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies assisting the Coast Guard in enforcing the regulated area.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing to grant a petition to remove 2-Butoxyethyl benzoate (2-BEB) (Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) No. 5451-76-3) from the glycol ethers category in the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) in Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA proposes to find that there are adequate data on the health or environmental effects of 2-BEB to support the request for removal. This action also details a streamlined approach to the review process of future petitions.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all restricted category Model CH-47D helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of fatigue cracking of the right-hand (RH) forward transmission support beam fitting. This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting the RH forward transmission support beam fitting for cracking and, depending on the results, repairing any crack(s). This proposed AD would also require submitting data on any previous repairs and replaced fittings. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
In the document, the Space Bureau extends the comment and reply comment deadlines for the Facilitating More Intensive Use of Upper Microwave Spectrum Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in SB Docket No. 25-305, FCC 25-70, that was released on October 29, 2025 and published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2025.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board") has adopted final amendments to its Regulation D to revise the rate of interest paid on balances ("IORB") maintained at Federal Reserve Banks by or on behalf of eligible institutions. The final amendments specify that IORB is 3.65 percent, a 0.25 percentage point decrease from its prior level. The amendment is intended to enhance the role of IORB in maintaining the federal funds rate in the target range established by the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC" or "Committee").
This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for residues of flupyradifurone, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on sugarcane, cane and sugarcane, molasses. This action is in response to EPA's concurrence of a crisis exemption under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of the pesticide on sugarcane. This regulation establishes a maximum permissible level for residues of flupyradifurone in or on these commodities. The time-limited tolerances expire on December 31, 2028.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board") has adopted final amendments to its Regulation A to reflect the Board's approval of a decrease in the rate for primary credit at each Federal Reserve Bank. The secondary credit rate at each Reserve Bank automatically decreased by formula as a result of the Board's primary credit rate action.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has been collecting a special assessment to recover losses arising from the protection of uninsured depositors under the systemic risk exception, as required by statute. To ensure that the FDIC recovers the correct amount of losses while minimizing the risk of overcollecting or undercollecting in aggregate, the FDIC is adopting this interim final rule to reduce the rate at which the special assessment will be collected in the eighth collection quarter from 3.36 basis points to 2.97 basis points, and provide an offset to regular quarterly deposit insurance assessments for banks subject to the special assessment if the amount collected exceeds losses following the resolution of litigation between the FDIC and SVB Financial Trust (SVBFT) and again following the termination of the receiverships.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is classifying the electrical tongue nerve stimulator to treat motor deficits into class II (special controls). The special controls that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for the classification of the electrical tongue nerve stimulator to treat motor deficits. We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.
This direct final rule (DFR) removes the requirement that Head Start programs have a COVID-19 mitigation policy. This requirement was included in the final rule titled "Mitigating the Spread of COVID-19 in Head Start Programs," which ACF published on January 6, 2023. Specifically, this rescission removes the requirement from the Head Start Program Performance Standards (Performance Standards) that Head Start programs have a COVID-19 mitigation policy developed in consultation with their Health and Mental Health Services Advisory Committee (HMHSAC), formerly the Health Services Advisory Committee (HSAC). This DFR meets the deregulatory requirements of Executive Order 14192, Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation, and is aligned with Executive Order 14148, Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.
On September 3, 2025, FAA published a final rule titled "Falsification, Reproduction, Alteration, Omission, or Incorrect Statements". That final rule incorrectly deleted three sections of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations rather than the intended one paragraph in each of those sections. This document corrects the final regulations.
This action proposes to amend Class D, Class E2, Class E4, and Class E5 airspace at Patuxent River Naval Air Station (NAS) (Trapnell Field), Patuxent River, MD. The currently designated Class D, Class E2, and Class E4 airspace do not properly contain instrument flight rule (IFR) operations, which require controlled airspace. The geographic coordinates for Patuxent River NAS (Trapnell Field) would be updated in the airspace legal descriptions. The reference to the decommissioned Patuxent VORTAC would also be updated in the Class E2, Class E4, and Class E5 airspace legal descriptions. Last, the geographic coordinates for the Patuxent River NDB would also be updated in the Class E2 and Class E4 airspace legal descriptions.
This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of thiamethoxam in or on pepper, black at 0.15 parts per million (ppm). Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the American Spice Trade Association submitted a petition to EPA requesting that EPA establish a maximum permissible level for residues of this pesticide in or on this commodity.
This proposed rule would require that a State Medicaid plan must provide that the Medicaid agency will not make payment under the plan for sex-rejecting procedures for children under 18 and prohibit the use of Federal Medicaid dollars to fund sex-rejecting procedures for individuals under the age of 18. In addition, it would require that a separate State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plan must provide that the CHIP agency will not make payment under the plan for sex-rejecting procedures for children under 19 and prohibit the use of Federal CHIP dollars to fund sex-rejecting procedures for individuals under the age of 19.
The U.S. Copyright Office is creating a new group registration option for two-dimensional artwork. This option will allow applicants to register up to twenty works published within one calendar year by submitting a single online application with a digital deposit copy of each work. The Office will examine each work to determine if it contains a sufficient amount of creative pictorial or graphic authorship. If the Office registers the claim, the registration will cover each artwork in the group as a separate work of authorship.
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Franklin, NC, by updating the coordinates and removing the point in space reference for Angel Medical Center in Franklin, NC. It would also update the legal description for Macon County Airport, Franklin, NC, to reflect the most accurate and up-to-date coordinates. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport.
The Coast Guard is proposing to establish temporary special local regulations and multiple security zones, and to temporarily suspend certain anchorage grounds in New York Harbor, Sandy Hook Bay, and the Hudson River before, during, and after Sail 4th 250 events, the U.S. Navy's International Naval Review 250 and International Aerial Review, Independence Day fireworks displays, and U.S. Navy Fleet Week events to be held between July 1, 2026 and July 9, 2026. These regulations are necessary to promote the safe navigation of vessels and the safety of life and property during these events. We invite your comments.
This proposed rule would revise the requirements that Medicare and Medicaid certified hospitals must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These changes are necessary to protect the health and safety of children and reflect HHS' review of recent information on the safety and efficacy of sex-rejecting procedures (SRPs) on children. The revisions to the requirements would prohibit hospitals from performing sex-rejecting procedures on children.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or Department) issues this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to revise 45 CFR 84.4(g) in the regulation implementing section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (section 504) as it applies to recipients of HHS funding (entitled "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance," 89 FR 40066 ("2024 Final Rule")), published on May 9, 2024. This rule clarifies that the Department interprets the statutory exclusion of "gender identity disorders not resulting from physical impairments" from the definitions of "individual with a disability" and "disability" set forth at 29 U.S.C. 705(9) & (20)(F)(i), 42 U.S.C. 12211(b), to encompass "gender dysphoria not resulting from a physical impairment" for purposes of part 84. This clarification is necessary to resolve ambiguity introduced in the preamble to the 2024 Final Rule and to ensure compliance with the best reading of the plain language of the governing statute.
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) modifies the Table of TV Allotments (table) rules by removing channel 8 at Fort Bragg and substituting channel 8 at Cloverdale, California, in response to a Petition for Rulemaking (Petition) filed by One Ministries, Inc. (Petitioner or OMI), licensee of KQSL(TV), channel 8, Fort Bragg, California. The Petitioner further requests modification of its license to specify Cloverdale as its community of license. OMI filed comments in support of the Petition, as required by the rules. Another commenter filed comments raising issues outside the scope of this proceeding and therefore the Commission declined to consider them. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements. The public interest would be served by reallotting channel 8 from Fort Bragg to Cloverdale in the table consistent with the technical parameters set forth in the Petition.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to incorporate by reference the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std) 603-2018, "IEEE Standard Criteria for Safety Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations." The IEEE Std 603-2018 is the most recent version of IEEE Std 603 that addresses the power, instrumentation, and control safety systems for nuclear power reactors. This amendment also incorporates editorial changes that do not change the technical information. The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to promote full understanding of the proposed rule and facilitate public comments.
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters of the La Quinta Ship Channel. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by the removal of submerged dredge pipeline. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Corpus Christi.
