Safety Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of the Port Eastern Great Lakes Zone
Document Number: 2024-14432
Type: Rule
Date: 2024-07-02
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard will enforce multiple safety zones located in federal regulations for recurring marine events taking place in August and September of 2024.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removal of White Sedge (Carex albida) From the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants
Document Number: 2024-14402
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-07-02
Agency: Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to remove the white sedge (Carex albida) from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants (i.e., "delist" the species). Our review of the best available scientific and commercial data indicate that the white sedge is not a discrete taxonomic entity and does not meet the definition of a species as defined by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). White sedge has been synonymized with Lemmon's sedge (Carex lemmonii). This taxonomic revision means that the white sedge is no longer a scientifically accepted species. If we finalize this rule as proposed, the prohibitions and conservation measures provided by the Act, particularly through sections 7 and 9, would no longer apply to the white sedge.

Document Number: 2024-14367
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-07-02
Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations on categorical exclusions for licensing, regulatory, and administrative actions that individually or cumulatively do not have a significant effect on the human environment.

The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to promote full understanding of the proposed rule and facilitate public comment.
B.F. Strain 11604; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
Document Number: 2024-14351
Type: Rule
Date: 2024-07-02
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Bacillus velezensis strain 11604 in or on all food and feed commodities when used in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. BioConsortia, Inc., submitted a petition to the EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Bacillus velezensis strain 11604 under FFDCA when used in accordance with this exemption.
