    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), part of the Department of Transportation, is proposing new procedures to implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). These procedures establish categorical exclusions (CEs), which are categories of actions deemed to typically have minimal environmental impacts. PHMSA invites public comments on these proposed CEs and procedures, aiming to ensure their activities minimize environmental effects and involve public and governmental engagement. Comments must be submitted by January 9, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making a new plan to quickly check if some actions are safe for the environment, like making sure that new rules for pipelines won't hurt nature too much. They want people to read their plan, say if they think it's good or bad, and write back by January 9, 2025, to help make sure they're doing a good job protecting the earth.

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is renewing its request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to continue collecting information under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This involves the NASA New Technology Reporting System, which requires contractors involved in research and development to report inventions, patents, data, and copyrights. The information is collected through an electronic system, and the burden on respondents is estimated in terms of hours and cost. NASA encourages public comments on the necessity, utility, and burden of this information collection.

    Simple Explanation

    NASA is asking for permission to keep using a system that helps them track and report new inventions and ideas from people they work with. They want to be sure it's easy and not too expensive for these people to tell NASA about their new ideas.
