    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has updated its rules for the 24 GHz band to align with international standards set by the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2019 (WRC-19). These updates aim to protect sensitive satellite sensors that monitor weather and climate by limiting unwanted emissions from mobile devices operating in these frequencies. The new rules will be implemented in two phases, with stricter limits coming into effect after September 1, 2027. This decision supports international harmonization and encourages the development of advanced wireless services while ensuring that critical scientific observations are safeguarded.

    Simple Explanation

    In the new rules, the people in charge decide that phones and gadgets must be quieter in certain sky spots so that scientists can keep watching the weather without interruptions. They plan to make these rules even stricter in a few years to make sure everything stays peaceful up there.

  • 2021-02537 — Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; Regulations To Limit Premises-Wide Actual and Potential Emissions From Major Stationary Sources of Air Pollution
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8574
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to Connecticut's State Implementation Plan (SIP). This update introduces state regulations designed to limit emissions from major stationary sources, helping them stay below specific environmental thresholds. By adhering to these limits, eligible sources could avoid having to meet certain strict requirements usually imposed on larger pollution sources. The proposed rule is being evaluated to ensure it aligns with the Clean Air Act, and public comments are invited before a final decision is made.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is thinking about saying yes to a plan from Connecticut that wants to make big factories and places pump out less pollution. If these places stick to the plan, they might not have to follow some of the tougher rules meant for super big polluters.
