  • 2025-02235 — Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for General Service Lamps
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9001
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Department of Energy has delayed the start date of a new rule regarding testing procedures for general service lamps to give officials more time for review. Initially set to take effect on January 16, 2025, the rule will now become effective on March 21, 2025, though the compliance date remains July 15, 2025. This decision aligns with a presidential directive aimed at reviewing new regulations. The department seeks public comments on how this delay might impact different stakeholders and any legal or policy concerns it raises.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Energy is taking more time to think about new rules for testing light bulbs, so they're starting the rules later. They want to hear what people think about delaying the rules and if it will cause any problems.

  • 2025-00436 — National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings Amendments
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5697
    Reading Time:about 69 minutes

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made changes to rules about aerosol sprays to reduce pollution that contributes to smog. These new amendments focus on using less reactive compounds in aerosol products, and they update testing methods, reporting requirements, and compliance dates for the industry. Companies that make or sell these aerosol products, especially those not operating in California, need to comply by mid-2025, but they can start using the new standards earlier if they choose. The EPA believes these changes won't harm the environment and will help align national and state regulations.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has changed some rules about spray paints to help make the air cleaner by using ingredients that cause less pollution. Companies need to follow these new rules starting in the middle of 2025, but they can start sooner if they want.

  • 2025-04475 — Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-Fired Instantaneous Water Heaters
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13054
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Energy has decided to delay the effective date of new energy conservation standards for gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. Originally, the rule was set to be enforced on March 21, 2025, but it is now postponed to May 20, 2025. This delay aligns with a Presidential Memorandum that called for reviewing such rules. The compliance date for these standards, however, remains unchanged at December 26, 2029.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided to wait a bit longer before starting new rules to save energy with certain water heaters, moving the start from March to May, but you still have to follow the new rules by the end of 2029. Some details about why they are waiting aren't really clear.

  • 2025-03118 — Food Labeling: Nutrient Content Claims; Definition of Term “Healthy”
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 10592
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has delayed the effective date of the rule defining the term "healthy" on food labels from February 25, 2025, to April 28, 2025, following a presidential memorandum on regulatory freeze. The rule updates how and when the term "healthy" can be used to help consumers identify nutritious foods according to current dietary guidelines. This delay allows for additional review, and although the rule's compliance date isn't until 2028, companies can start following it before then if they choose.

    Simple Explanation

    The government's rules on calling foods "healthy" on labels are being delayed so more people can look at them and make sure they're right. This means the new rules won't start right away, but companies can still choose to follow them earlier if they want.
