2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine that the Evangeline Parish, Louisiana, sulfur dioxide (SO2) nonattainment area (NAA) has failed to attain the 2010 1-hour primary SO2 national ambient air quality standard (2010 SO2 NAAQS) by the applicable statutory attainment date of April 9, 2023. This determination is based on analysis of reported emissions records and available modeling data. This action, if finalized, will address the EPA's obligation under CAA section 179(c) to determine whether the Evangeline Parish SO2 NAA attained the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the April 9, 2023, attainment date.

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) adopts a revised, five-year plan for support of internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Service (IP CTS) by the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Services Fund (TRS Fund). To ensure that IP CTS providers have the appropriate incentive structure to support captioning with communications assistants (CAs) and with only automatic speech recognition (ASR), the Commission establishes separate compensation formulas for CA-assisted and ASR-only IP CTS. In addition, this compensation plan will give providers certainty regarding the applicable compensation levels, provide an incentive to improve efficiency, and allow the Commission an opportunity to timely reassess the compensation formulas in response to potential unanticipated cost changes and other significant developments.

DoD is proposing revisions to its regulations on Other Transaction (OT) agreements for prototype projects to implement changes in statutory authority enacted by Congress since the last update in 2004. The Department is proposing changes in: the authority to provide for follow-on production OTs and contracts; special circumstances for award of OTs to small businesses, nontraditional defense contractors, nonprofit research institutions, and consortia; approval requirements for large dollar OTs; the authority to supply prototypes and production items to another contractor as Government furnished items; and applying procurement ethics requirements to covered OT agreements.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2024. The final rule amended requirements that apply to the petroleum and natural gas systems source category of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule to ensure that reporting is based on empirical data, accurately reflects total methane emissions and waste emissions from applicable facilities and allows owners and operators of applicable facilities to submit empirical emissions data that appropriately demonstrate the extent to which a charge is owed under the Waste Emissions Charge. This document corrects inadvertent errors introduced in preparing the amendatory regulatory text for the final rule or in preparing the signed final rule for publication. These corrections do not result in any substantive changes to the final rule.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving in part and disapproving in part State implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Arizona pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standard"). In addition to our partial approval and partial disapproval of Arizona's SIP revision, the EPA is approving rules in the Arizona Revised Statutes and Pima County Code related to public availability of emissions reports into the Arizona SIP and reclassifying regions in Arizona with respect to emergency episode plans for ozone. Additionally, this final action includes an error correction to amend regulatory text related to the nonattainment designation of the Phoenix-Mesa, Arizona area for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
