The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a final rule to amend and revoke certain Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways in the eastern United States. This change is part of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program and is necessitated by the planned decommissioning of specific navigation aids in Florida. The amended airways include V-3, V-35, V-51, and several others, while airways V-295, V-529, and V-601 have been revoked entirely. This rule aims to maintain efficient and safe navigation across the National Airspace System by updating the route structure to reflect current operational needs.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule amending several VOR Federal Airways and a U.S. Area Navigation Route, as well as revoking one VOR airway. This change is due to the decommissioning of a navigation aid in Cincinnati, Kentucky, which is part of the FAA's plan to maintain a minimal operational network of VORs. As a result, segments of these airways have been altered or removed to ensure air traffic can still flow safely and efficiently. The amendments are part of the FAA's ongoing efforts to keep airspace management current without significant environmental impact.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering an application from Entergy Nuclear Operations and other parties to transfer control of licenses for the Big Rock Point and Palisades Nuclear Plants to Holtec, and to transfer Entergy's operating authority to Holtec Decommissioning International. The application, filed on December 23, 2020, seeks these changes without any physical changes to the facilities. The NRC invites public comments and is offering the opportunity to request a hearing or petition for intervention by specific deadlines provided in the notice. Public comments will be considered, but they will not be part of the formal decision-making process.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed changes to the Class E airspace at Mineral Wells, TX, following the decommissioning of the Mineral Wells non-directional beacon. The proposal includes updating airport and VORTAC geographic coordinates, renaming the airport, and modifying the airspace dimensions to enhance safety and compliance with FAA regulations. Public comments on the proposed changes are invited until April 21, 2025. The overall objective is to ensure airspace efficiency and support instrument flight rule operations at Mineral Wells Regional Airport.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced the schedule for their Sunshine Act meetings in December 2024 and January 2025. The commission does not have any meetings planned for the weeks of December 9, 16, 23, 30, 2024, and January 6, 2025. There is, however, a public meeting on January 14, 2025, about decommissioning and waste management programs. The meeting will take place in Rockville, Maryland, and will also be available via live webcast.

Nasdaq ISE, LLC has filed a proposal with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to discontinue the use of "Qualified Contingent Cross" (QCC) orders that include stock components. This change is due to a lack of interest from exchange members in using this feature. Exchange members will still be able to execute QCC orders but will need to handle the stock component themselves. The SEC has allowed this change to take effect immediately to enable the exchange to remove the necessary infrastructure by the end of the year. No objections were received from exchange members regarding this proposal.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that changes several Jet Routes and Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways, while also revoking a couple of VOR Federal Airways near Goshen, Indiana. These changes are necessary due to the decommissioning of part of the Goshen VOR navigational aid, a move that supports the FAA's program to maintain a minimal operational network. The amendments are part of routine updates to ensure efficient air traffic management without significant environmental or economic impacts. The new rule will become effective on June 12, 2025.

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is hosting a public meeting to discuss the decommissioning and disposition of the Nuclear Ship Savannah (NSS). This meeting is part of a larger effort under the National Historic Preservation Act. The Peer Review Group (PRG), which includes officials from several federal and state agencies, will provide feedback on plans for the NSS, and public input is encouraged. The meeting will take place on January 21, 2025, and will be accessible in person, online, or by phone.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule amending certain VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) airways near Anthony, KS, due to the planned removal of a major navigation aid. Specifically, this action impacts VOR airways V-12, V-74, and V-516 by removing certain segments of these routes to maintain safe and efficient air traffic operations. This change is part of the FAA's effort to update the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) and does not significantly impact small entities or the environment.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) announced its intention to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for a new advanced nuclear reactor technology park at the Clinch River Nuclear Site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This project includes evaluating various environmental effects associated with building, operating, and dismantling advanced nuclear reactors, with a total power output not exceeding 800 megawatts. The public is invited to provide feedback on the proposed action and alternatives until March 19, 2021. TVA plans to consider environmental, social, and economic impacts, and anticipates the completion of the final report by Spring 2022.
