  • 2024-30629 — Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact
    💰
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 1968
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has assessed that its proposed rule to implement consumer protections for Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing will not have a significant impact on the environment. PACE loans help finance home improvements like solar panels and energy efficiency projects. The proposed rule would require lenders to ensure borrowers can repay these loans, potentially reducing the number of loans issued. While some argue this could limit environmental benefits from such projects, the CFPB found the rule's effect on the environment would be minimal and does not necessitate a more extensive environmental review.

    Simple Explanation

    The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau looked at new rules for special loans used to make homes greener, like adding solar panels. They decided these rules won't hurt the environment and don't need a bigger review.

    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1922
    Reading Time:about 74 minutes

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a new rule to add all species of Asian pond mussels (Sinanodonta), golden mussels (Limnoperna), and marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) to the list of injurious wildlife. This action aims to prohibit the importation and transport of these species within certain U.S. jurisdictions due to their potential to harm native ecosystems by competing for resources, spreading quickly, and carrying pathogens. The proposed listings are part of efforts to protect U.S. interests by preventing these invasive species from establishing themselves and causing ecological damage. Public comments on the proposal are invited until March 11, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to stop certain mussels and a type of crayfish from coming into the U.S. because they could be harmful to the environment and animals here. They're asking people to share their thoughts about this decision by March 11, 2025.

  • 2024-31570 — Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Inflation Adjustment of Acquisition-Related Thresholds (DFARS Case 2024-D002)
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5799
    Reading Time:about 19 minutes

    The Department of Defense (DoD) is proposing changes to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to adjust acquisition-related dollar thresholds for inflation, using the Consumer Price Index. This adjustment is set to occur every five years, but excludes certain statutes like the Davis-Bacon Act and trade agreements thresholds. The proposed rule aims to maintain current regulations by reflecting economic changes, ensuring that thresholds keep pace with inflation, and is not expected to significantly affect the public or small businesses. Comments on these proposed changes are invited until March 18, 2025, and further details are available on the regulations.gov portal.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Defense wants to make sure that the rules about how much money can be spent on certain projects stay fair as prices go up over time, just like how your allowance might be adjusted for inflation. They want people to share their thoughts on this change until March 18, 2025.
