Reinstatement of HUD's Discriminatory Effects Standard
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, or financing of dwellings and in other housing-related activities. This prohibition extends to practices with an unjustified discriminatory effect, regardless of whether there was an intent to discriminate. In 2013, HUD published a rule which formalized a burden- shifting test for determining whether a given practice has an unjustified discriminatory effect. In 2020, HUD published a rule that would have altered the standards set forth in the 2013 rule. However, a preliminary injunction prevented the 2020 rule from ever going into effect. On June 25, 2021, HUD published a proposed rule to recodify the 2013 rule. After considering public comments, HUD in this final rule reinstates and maintains the 2013 rule and rescinds the 2020 rule.
Integrated Science Assessment for Lead (Pb) (External Review Draft)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a 60- day public comment period for the draft document titled, ``Integrated Science Assessment for Lead (External Review Draft)''. This draft document was prepared by the Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment (CPHEA) within EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) as part of the review of the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) Lead (Pb) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). It represents an update of the 2013 Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for Lead (Pb) (EPA/600/R-10/075F). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical and policy assessments, provides the scientific foundation for EPA's decisions on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the appropriateness of possible alternative standards. EPA is releasing the draft ISA for Pb to seek review by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) and input from the public. The date and location of a public meeting for the CASAC to discuss its review of this document will be specified in a separate Federal Register notice (FRN). The draft ISA is not final and does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, any final Agency policy or views. When revising the document, EPA will consider any public comments submitted during the public comment period specified in this notice.
