| 2019-25974 | Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act | Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising regulations that are designed to reduce the risk of accidental releases of hazardous chemicals. These regulations are part of the EPA's Risk Management Program (RMP), which the Agency established under authority in the Clean Air Act and recently amended on January 13, 2017. After a process of reconsidering several parts of the 2017 rule, EPA has concluded that a better approach is to improve the performance of a subset of facilities by achieving greater compliance with RMP regulations instead of imposing additional regulatory requirements on the larger population of facilities that is generally performing well in preventing accidental releases. For this and other reasons, EPA is rescinding recent amendments to these regulations that we no longer consider reasonable or practicable relating to safer technology and alternatives analyses, third-party audits, incident investigations, information availability, and several other minor regulatory changes. EPA is also modifying regulations relating to local emergency coordination, emergency response exercises, and public meetings. In addition, the Agency is changing compliance dates for some of these provisions. | 2019-12-19 | 2019 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/19/2019-25974/accidental-release-prevention-requirements-risk-management-programs-under-the-clean-air-act | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-12-19/pdf/2019-25974.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising regulations that are designed to reduce the risk of accidental releases of hazardous chemicals.

| 2019-26367 | General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); Adoption of Construction Project Delivery Method Involving Early Industry Engagement-Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) | Rule | The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing a final rule amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to adopt an additional project delivery method for construction, known as "construction manager as constructor" (CMc). The private sector commonly uses a similar construction project delivery method, which allows for early industry engagement by the construction contractor to enable reduced cost growth, reduced schedule growth, and administrative savings. The current Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) lacks coverage of the CMc project delivery method. GSA has previously issued policies on CMc through other means. Incorporating CMc into the GSAR provides centralized guidance to industry and ensures consistent application of construction project principles across GSA. Additionally, integrating these requirements into the GSAR allowed for revision and improvement of the requirements through public comments in the rulemaking process. | 2019-12-19 | 2019 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/19/2019-26367/general-services-administration-acquisition-regulation-gsar-adoption-of-construction-project | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-12-19/pdf/2019-26367.pdf | General Services Administration | 210 | The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing a final rule amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to adopt an additional project delivery method for construction, known as "construction manager as constructor"... |
| 2019-26548 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassifying the Hawaiian Goose From Endangered to Threatened With a Section 4(d) Rule | Rule | Under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), determine threatened status for the Hawaiian goose (nene) (Branta sandvicensis). This rule changes the listing status of the nene from an endangered species to a threatened species on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. We call this "reclassifying" or "downlisting" the species. We are also adopting a rule under the authority of section 4(d) of the Act (a "4(d) rule") to enhance conservation of the species through range expansion and management flexibility. This final rule is based on a thorough review of the best available scientific data, which indicate that the threats to this species have been reduced to the point that it no longer meets the definition of endangered under the Act, but that it is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future. In addition, this rule corrects the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife to reflect that Nesochen is not currently a scientifically accepted generic name for this species, and acknowledges the Hawaiian name "nene" as an alternative common name. | 2019-12-19 | 2019 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/19/2019-26548/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-reclassifying-the-hawaiian-goose-from-endangered-to | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-12-19/pdf/2019-26548.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | Under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), determine threatened status for the Hawaiian goose (nene) (Branta sandvicensis).

| 2019-27172 | Setting the Manner for the Appearance of Parties and Witnesses at a Hearing | Rule | We are publishing a final rule we proposed in November 2018 regarding setting the time, place, and manner of appearance for hearings at the administrative law judge (ALJ) level of our administrative review process, with modifications. Our final rule states that we (the agency) will determine how parties and witnesses will appear at a hearing before an ALJ, and that we will set the time and place for the hearing accordingly. We will schedule the parties to a hearing to appear by video teleconference (VTC), in person, or, in limited circumstances, by telephone. Under this final rule, we will decide how parties and witnesses will appear at a hearing based on several factors, but the parties to a hearing will continue to have the ability to opt out of appearing by VTC at the ALJ hearings level. Finally, we are revising our rule to state that, at the ALJ hearing level, if we need to send an amended notice of hearing, or if we need to schedule a supplemental hearing, we will send the amended notice or notice of supplemental hearing at least 20 days before the date of the hearing. The date of hearing indicated in the amended notice or notice of supplemental hearing will be at least 75 days from the date we first sent the claimant a notice of hearing, unless the claimant has waived his or her right to advance notice. | 2019-12-18 | 2019 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/18/2019-27172/setting-the-manner-for-the-appearance-of-parties-and-witnesses-at-a-hearing | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-12-18/pdf/2019-27172.pdf | Social Security Administration | 470 | We are publishing a final rule we proposed in November 2018 regarding setting the time, place, and manner of appearance for hearings at the administrative law judge (ALJ) level of our administrative review process, with modifications.
