| 2024-30260 | HUD's Implementation of OMB's Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is proposing to amend its regulations on Federal financial assistance to conform with 2020 and 2024 changes to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance governing Federal financial assistance (previously called grants and agreements). The proposed amendments would implement the guidance and update cross-references to OMB provisions that have been renumbered or reorganized. HUD is also proposing changes to improve some grant management and administrative program regulations based on HUD's experience implementing OMB's regulations and guidance in existing entitlement, discretionary, and other programs involving grant management and administration. Finally, HUD is proposing changes to its Title VI, Section 108, Section 184, and Section 184A loan guarantee program regulations to address OMB's changes for loan guarantee programs regarding System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration and to clarify that the Section 184 and Section 184A programs are subject to audit requirements in OMB's regulations and final guidance. All these changes will improve HUD's processes for awarding Federal financial assistance and align HUD's regulations with governmentwide efforts to adopt consistent and standardized terms and data elements, implement data- and risk-based frameworks, reduce Federal agency and recipient burdens, promote consistent interpretations of OMB's regulations and guidance, and improve and maximize agencies' ability to assess performance of recipients. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-30260/huds-implementation-of-ombs-guidance-for-federal-financial-assistance | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-30260.pdf | Housing and Urban Development Department | 228 | The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is proposing to amend its regulations on Federal financial assistance to conform with 2020 and 2024 changes to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance governing Federal financial... |

| 2024-30930 | Preliminary Lists Identifying Manufacturers Subject to Fee Obligations for Five Chemical Substances Undergoing EPA-Initiated Risk Evaluations Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Notice of Availability and Request for Comment | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is announcing the availability of and soliciting comment on the preliminary lists of manufacturers (including importers) of five chemical substances that have been designated as High-Priority Substances for risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and for which fees will be charged. As required by TSCA, EPA established fees to defray a portion of the costs associated with administering certain provisions of TSCA. The comment period provides an opportunity for the public to provide comments, self-identify, or correct errors on the preliminary lists. In addition, manufacturers (including importers) are required to self-identify as a manufacturer (or importer) of one or more the five identified High-Priority Substances irrespective of whether they are included on the preliminary lists, and may use this period to do so. Where appropriate, entities may also avoid or reduce fee obligations by making certain certifications consistent with the TSCA Fees Rule. EPA expects to publish final lists of manufacturers (including importers) subject to fees no later than concurrently with the publication of the final scope documents for risk evaluations of these five High-Priority Substances. Manufacturers (including importers) identified on the final lists will be subject to the applicable fees. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-30930/preliminary-lists-identifying-manufacturers-subject-to-fee-obligations-for-five-chemical-substances | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-30930.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is announcing the availability of and soliciting comment on the preliminary lists of manufacturers (including importers) of five chemical substances that have been designated as High-Priority... |

| 2024-31348 | Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report indicating that certain clip-on nuts with primer, in lieu of clip-on nuts with cadmium surface finish only (without primer), were inadvertently used to install the self-bonded saddle clamps, which support the fuel tank system tubing inside the left main, center, and right main fuel tanks. This proposed AD would require a general visual inspection (GVI) to identify affected parts, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-31348/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-31348.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes.

| 2024-31378 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; Model A321-211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, - 253NY, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes; Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series airplanes; Model A330-300 series airplanes; Model A330- 800 series airplanes; Model A330-900 series airplanes; Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes; and Model A380-800 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of corrosion and cracks on the broadband antenna adapter plate during an inspection. This proposed AD would require repetitive general visual inspections (GVI) of the broadband antenna adapter plate, skirt, vents, and attachment fittings and limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-31378/airworthiness-directives-airbus-sas-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-31378.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N... |
| 2024-31379 | Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-19-13, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600- 1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. AD 2020-19-13 requires a check to identify the manufacturer and part number of the portable oxygen bottle installation, and if necessary, modification of the portable oxygen bottle installation. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-19-13, it was determined that four additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2020-19-13 and would expand the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-31379/airworthiness-directives-bombardier-inc-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-31379.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-19-13, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600- 1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes.

| 2024-31386 | US Swine Health Improvement Plan | Proposed Rule | We are proposing the creation of regulations governing the US Swine Health Improvement Plan (US SHIP). US SHIP would be a voluntary livestock improvement program aimed at improving biosecurity, traceability, and disease surveillance for swine health. The swine industry has requested the establishment of US SHIP, which builds on an existing pilot program initiated by industry. We propose to codify US SHIP as a Federal regulatory program and allow participating sites to obtain certifications of disease-monitored status for African swine fever and classical swine fever. Establishment of US SHIP would allow participating sites to market their products with the relevant certification status, which could limit disruptions to international and interstate commerce during outbreaks. | 2024-12-31 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/31/2024-31386/us-swine-health-improvement-plan | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-31/pdf/2024-31386.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are proposing the creation of regulations governing the US Swine Health Improvement Plan (US SHIP).

| 2024-30798 | Schedules of Controlled Substances: Placement of Seven Specific Fentanyl-Related Substances in Schedule I | Proposed Rule | The Drug Enforcement Administration proposes placing seven fentanyl-related substances, as identified in this proposed rule, in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. These seven substances fall within the definition of fentanyl-related substances set forth in the February 6, 2018 temporary scheduling order. Through the Temporary Reauthorization and Study of Emergency Scheduling of Fentanyl Analogues Act, which became law on February 6, 2020, Congress extended the temporary control of fentanyl-related substances until May 6, 2021. This temporary order was subsequently extended multiple times, most recently on December 29, 2022, through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which extended the order until December 31, 2024. If finalized, this action would make permanent the existing regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, import, export, engage in research, conduct instructional activities or chemical analysis, or possess), or propose to handle these seven specific controlled substances. | 2024-12-30 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/30/2024-30798/schedules-of-controlled-substances-placement-of-seven-specific-fentanyl-related-substances-in | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-30/pdf/2024-30798.pdf | Justice Department; Drug Enforcement Administration | 268,116 | The Drug Enforcement Administration proposes placing seven fentanyl-related substances, as identified in this proposed rule, in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

| 2024-31315 | International Fisheries; Pacific Tuna Fisheries; 2025-2026 Commercial Fishing Restrictions for Pacific Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean | Proposed Rule | NMFS is proposing regulations under the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended (TCA), to implement Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Resolution C-24-02 (Measures for the Conservation and Management of Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean) adopted by the IATTC in September 2024. This proposed rule would implement annual and trip limits on United States commercial catch of Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) (PBF) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) for 2025-2026. This action is necessary to conserve PBF and for the United States to satisfy its obligations as a member of the IATTC. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), NMFS also announces the availability of a draft environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the potential effects of the associated proposed rule. | 2024-12-30 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/30/2024-31315/international-fisheries-pacific-tuna-fisheries-2025-2026-commercial-fishing-restrictions-for-pacific | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-30/pdf/2024-31315.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS is proposing regulations under the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended (TCA), to implement Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Resolution C-24-02 (Measures for the Conservation and Management of Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific... |
| 2024-29466 | Review of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Polyether Polyols Production Industry | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that apply to the Polyether Polyols (PEPO) Production industry (referred to as the PEPO NESHAP in this document). The EPA is proposing decisions resulting from the Agency's technology review of the PEPO NESHAP and decisions based on its reconsideration of certain issues raised in an administrative petition for reconsideration. Furthermore, the EPA is proposing to strengthen the emission standards for ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions after considering the results of a risk assessment for the PEPO NESHAP. The EPA is also proposing to require performance testing once every 5 years, to add work practice standards for certain activities where alternatives are appropriate, and to add provisions for electronic reporting. We estimate that the proposed amendments to the PEPO NESHAP, excluding the EtO emission standards, would reduce hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from PEPO sources by approximately 157 tons per year (tpy). Additionally, the proposed EtO emission standards are expected to reduce EtO emissions by approximately 14 tpy. We also estimate that these proposed amendments to the NESHAP will reduce excess emissions of HAP from flares in the PEPO Production source category by an additional 75 tpy. | 2024-12-27 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/27/2024-29466/review-of-national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-for-polyether-polyols-production | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-27/pdf/2024-29466.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that apply to the Polyether Polyols (PEPO) Production industry (referred to as... |

| 2024-30669 | Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-14-04, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8 airplanes. AD 2016-14-04 requires replacing the potable waterline couplings above the forward and aft electronics equipment (EE) bays with new, improved couplings. AD 2016-14-04 also requires sealing the main cabin floor areas above the aft EE bay, installing drip shields and foam blocks, and rerouting the wire bundles near the drip shields above the equipment in the aft EE bay. Since the FAA issued AD 2016-14- 04, it was determined that sealant, moisture barrier tape and tape dam requirements above the EE bays may not have been installed on production airplanes. This proposed AD continues to require the actions in AD 2016-14-04 and would require an inspection of seat tracks above the EE bays for missing, damaged, or deteriorated sealant, moisture barrier tape, or tape dams, as applicable, and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD also adds airplanes to the applicability.

| 2024-30401 | Lead Wheel Weights; Petition for Rulemaking Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Decision Not To Proceed With a Rulemaking | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) has decided not to proceed with the development of a regulation addressing the manufacture, processing, or distribution in commerce of lead for wheel-balancing weights ("lead wheel weights") under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This action relates to a citizen petition filed with the Agency in 2009 ("2009 petition"). The 2009 petition, which EPA granted, asked EPA to initiate a rulemaking proceeding to regulate the manufacturing, processing, or distribution in commerce of lead wheel weights. In 2023, the same parties filed a petition for a writ of mandamus ("mandamus petition") that sought to compel EPA to initiate the rulemaking proceeding requested in the 2009 petition. After reviewing the information submitted in response to an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) issued in April 2024 and EPA's technical analysis thereof, EPA has decided not to proceed with the development of a proposed rule. Addressing potential remaining exposures from lead continues to be a high priority for EPA, as reflected in EPA's announcement that "Lead and Lead Compounds" is on its list of candidate chemical substances currently being considered for future prioritization actions under TSCA. | 2024-12-23 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/23/2024-30401/lead-wheel-weights-petition-for-rulemaking-under-the-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca-decision-not | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-23/pdf/2024-30401.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) has decided not to proceed with the development of a regulation addressing the manufacture, processing, or distribution in commerce of lead for wheel-balancing weights ("lead wheel weights") under the... |
| 2024-30539 | Airworthiness Directives; CFM International, S.A. Engines | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-09-06, which applies to all CFM International, S.A. Model (CFM) LEAP-1A23, LEAP-1A24, LEAP-1A24E1, LEAP-1A26, LEAP-1A26CJ, LEAP-1A26E1, LEAP-1A29, LEAP-1A29CJ, LEAP-1A30, LEAP-1A32, LEAP-1A33, LEAP-1A33B2, and LEAP-1A35A (LEAP-1A) engines. AD 2023-09-06 requires replacement of certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 1 disks (HPT stage 1 disks), forward outer seals, and compressor rotor stages 6-10 spools. AD 2023-09-06 also prohibits installation of an HPT stage 1 disk, forward outer seal, or compressor rotor stages 6-10 spool that has a part number and serial number identified in the service information onto any engine. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-09-06, the manufacturer identified additional affected parts that were manufactured from material suspected to have reduced material properties due to iron inclusion, which prompted this AD. This proposed AD would retain the requirements to replace certain HPT stage 1 disks, forward outer seals, and compressor rotor stages 6-10 spools and expand the applicability to include additional affected parts manufactured from the same material suspected to have reduced material properties due to iron inclusion. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2024-12-23 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/23/2024-30539/airworthiness-directives-cfm-international-sa-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-23/pdf/2024-30539.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-09-06, which applies to all CFM International, S.A.

This proposed AD was prompted by an investigation of an in- service hydraulic fluid leakage event that indicated the potential use of an uncalibrated torque wrench when tightening the union fittings at the pressure and return interfaces of all three rudder hydraulic power control units (PCUs). This proposed AD would require properly torquing the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings and applying the torque seal on the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2024-12-20 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/20/2024-30310/airworthiness-directives-airbus-canada-limited-partnership-type-certificate-previously-held-by-c | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-20/pdf/2024-30310.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A11 airplanes.

| 2024-29125 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Puerto Rican Skink, Lesser Virgin Islands Skink, and Virgin Islands Bronze Skink and Designation of Critical Habitat; Threatened Species Status With Section 4(d) Rule for Culebra Skink and Designation of Critical Habitat; Not Warranted Species Status for Mona Skink, Greater Virgin Islands Skink, Greater Saint Croix Skink, and Lesser Saint Croix Skink | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Puerto Rican skink (Spondylurus nitidus), a skink species from Puerto Rico and Desecheo Island, and the Lesser Virgin Islands skink (S. semitaeniatus) and Virgin Islands bronze skink (S. sloanii), two skink species from the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as endangered species. We propose to list the Culebra skink (S. culebrae), a skink species from Culebra Island and offshore cays of Puerto Rico, as a threatened species with protective regulations under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act) ("4(d) rule"). After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing these species is warranted. If we finalize this rule as proposed, we will add these species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to these species. We also propose to designate critical habitat for the Puerto Rican skink, Culebra skink, Lesser Virgin Islands skink, and Virgin Islands bronze skink under the Act. We also announce the availability of an economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for the Puerto Rican skink, Culebra skink, Lesser Virgin Islands skink, and Virgin Islands bronze skink. We find that it is not warranted at this time to list the Mona skink (Spondylurus monae), the Greater Virgin Islands skink (S. spilonotus), the Greater Saint Croix skink (S. magnacruzae), and the Lesser Saint Croix skink (Capitellum parvicruzae).

This proposed AD was prompted by a discovery that certain pitot-static tubing of the first officer's pitot-static system was installed incorrectly in the main and mid equipment center during the airplane conversion from passenger to freighter. This proposed AD would require a visual inspection of certain pitot-static rigid tubes and flexible hoses to determine whether low points exist, and if necessary, related investigative and corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2024-12-17 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/17/2024-29619/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-17/pdf/2024-29619.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-300 series airplanes modified by a certain supplemental type certificate (STC).

| 2024-29620 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes | Proposed Rule | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-02-14, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2015-02-14 requires repetitive inspections for cracking, damage, correct installation, and correct adjustment of the main landing gear (MLG) door hinge and actuator fittings on the keel beam, corrective actions if necessary, and revision of the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. Since the FAA issued AD 2015-02-14, a new design of the MLG door keel beam hinge and actuator fitting was developed. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2015-02-14, add an optional terminating action, and revise the applicability, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2024-12-17 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/17/2024-29620/airworthiness-directives-airbus-sas-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-17/pdf/2024-29620.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-02-14, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes;... |

| 2024-27872 | Review of New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Combustion Turbines and Stationary Gas Turbines | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the Standards of Performance for new, modified, and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines and stationary gas turbines based on a review of available control technologies for limiting emissions of criteria air pollutants. This review of the new source performance standards (NSPS) is required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). As a result of this review, the EPA is proposing to establish size-based subcategories for new, modified, and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines that also recognize distinctions between those that operate at varying loads or capacity factors and those firing natural gas or non-natural gas fuels. In general, the EPA is proposing that combustion controls with the addition of post-combustion selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for limiting nitrogen oxide (NO<INF>X</INF>) emissions from this source category, with certain, limited exceptions. Based on the application of this BSER and other updates in technical information, the EPA is proposing to lower the NO<INF>X</INF> standards of performance for most of the stationary combustion turbines included in this source category. In addition, for new, modified, and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines that fire or co-fire hydrogen, the EPA is proposing to ensure that those sources are subject to the same level of control for NO<INF>X</INF> emissions as sources firing natural gas or non-natural gas fuels, depending on the percentage of hydrogen fuel being utilized. The EPA is proposing to maintain the current standards for sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) emissions, because after reviewing the current SO<INF>2</INF> standards, we propose to find that the use of low-sulfur fuels remains the BSER. Finally, the Agency is proposing amendments to address specific technical and editorial issues to clarify the existing regulations. | 2024-12-13 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/13/2024-27872/review-of-new-source-performance-standards-for-stationary-combustion-turbines-and-stationary-gas | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-13/pdf/2024-27872.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the Standards of Performance for new, modified, and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines and stationary gas turbines based on a review of available control technologies for... |
| 2024-28316 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Rayed Bean, Sheepnose, Snuffbox, and Spectaclecase Mussels | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the rayed bean (Villosa fabalis), sheepnose (Plethobasus cyphyus), snuffbox (Epioblasma triquetra), and spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta), all species of freshwater mussels, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Specifically, we propose to designate approximately 560 river miles (rmi) (902 river kilometers (rkm)) in 15 units as critical habitat for rayed bean; approximately 801 rmi (1,289 rkm) in 11 units as critical habitat for sheepnose; approximately 2,472 rmi (3,979 rkm) in 38 units as critical habitat for snuffbox; and approximately 1,143 rmi (1,839 rkm) in 12 units as critical habitat for spectaclecase. Portions of these proposed designations overlap among the four species; in total, approximately 3,974 rmi (6,396 rkm) of unique critical habitat within 76 units across 17 States (Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) fall within the boundaries of the proposed critical habitat designations. We also announce the availability of an economic analysis of the proposed designations of critical habitat for all four species. | 2024-12-13 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/13/2024-28316/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-designation-of-critical-habitat-for-the-rayed-bean | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-13/pdf/2024-28316.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the rayed bean (Villosa fabalis), sheepnose (Plethobasus cyphyus), snuffbox (Epioblasma triquetra), and spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta), all species of... |
| 2024-28352 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Eastern Hellbender | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis), a salamander subspecies from Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the eastern hellbender. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the subspecies is warranted. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this subspecies to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to the subspecies. We have determined that designation of critical habitat for the eastern hellbender is not prudent. | 2024-12-13 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/13/2024-28352/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-endangered-species-status-for-eastern-hellbender | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-13/pdf/2024-28352.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis), a salamander subspecies from Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New... |

| 2024-28867 | Modification to 2022 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit (CGP) for Stormwater Discharges From Construction Activities | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a narrow modification to its 2022 CGP to expand the list of areas eligible for coverage to include construction projects in Lands of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction. This modification is necessary because the EPA is the permitting authority in Lands of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, and when the CGP was issued on February 17, 2022, the permit did not specifically provide eligibility for all of these areas. The proposed modification would also clarify the CGP requirements that apply to projects that discharge to receiving waters within Lands of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction. The EPA seeks comment only on the proposed permit revisions and the accompanying fact sheet.
