    The Maritime Administration (MARAD), part of the Department of Transportation, has received a request for a waiver to allow the vessel JAGUAR SHARK, a 41-foot motor yacht, to carry up to twelve passengers for hire. This waiver, if granted, would exempt the vessel from certain U.S. coastwise trade laws, which typically require vessels to be U.S.-built. The intended use for the JAGUAR SHARK is as a "live aboard charter boat" operating in Alaska, excluding Southeastern waters, with Homer, Alaska as its base of operations. Public comments on this waiver request are invited and can be submitted through the specified channels by February 8, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of boats in the U.S. might let a boat called JAGUAR SHARK take passengers for trips in Alaska, even though it wasn't made in the U.S. Normally, boats have to be made in the U.S. to do this, but they want to make an exception and are asking people what they think about this idea until February 8, 2021.

    The United States Postal Service announced that it has filed a request with the Postal Regulatory Commission. This request is about adding a new domestic shipping services contract to the list of Negotiated Service Agreements under the Competitive Products List. The filing includes adding Priority Mail and First-Class Package Service Contract 189. Interested parties can find more information and access documents on the Commission's website under Docket Nos. MC2021-65 and CP2021-67.

    Simple Explanation

    The Postal Service wants to add a special new contract for sending things like packages in the mail, and they told this to a group that checks mail rules. But the document doesn't say much about what this new contract means for people or businesses, or why it's a good idea.

    The Social Security Administration has announced new inflation-adjusted maximum penalties for civil monetary violations, effective from January 15, 2021, to January 14, 2022. The adjustments are required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015. For example, the penalty for fraud facilitators in a position of trust has increased to $8,212, and the penalty for a violative broadcast has increased to $54,157. These updates ensure penalties align with inflation and are applied fairly each year.

    Simple Explanation

    The Social Security Administration is making sure the penalties for breaking rules keep up with inflation, so they have increased some fines, like a penalty for fraud, which went up to $8,212, and for a bad broadcast, which went up to $54,157, so that they stay fair and up-to-date.
