  • 2021-02044 — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Fee Schedule and Changes to Certain Other Immigration Benefit Request Requirements
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 7493
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that two preliminary injunctions from Federal district courts are preventing the implementation of changes to their fee schedule and other immigration benefit requirements. These court orders, issued in late September and early October 2020, stop the Department of Homeland Security from enforcing the new rules that were meant to take effect on October 2, 2020. As a result, USCIS will continue using the existing fee structure and guidelines that were in place before this date. Further updates and guidance will be posted on the USCIS website.

    Simple Explanation

    USCIS, the group in charge of immigration paperwork, wanted to charge more money for some forms, but a judge said they can't do it just yet, so they will keep using the old prices for now.

  • 2021-01576 — Rules of Practice and Procedure; Civil Money Penalty Inflation Adjustment
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 7493
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has issued a final rule to adjust civil money penalties for inflation, as required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act. This rule is applied to various penalties under FHFA’s purview, including those related to flood insurance and program fraud. The adjustments are calculated based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The adjustments are mandated by law, and the FHFA has determined it does not need to seek public comments on this rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Housing Finance Agency made a new rule to adjust money penalties (fines) that they oversee, to keep up with how prices change over time, like keeping a balloon filled with air as it stretches. These changes happen because the law says they must, and they didn't ask people for their opinions this time.
