    The Selective Service System has announced the rescission of its Performance Review Board, in line with a directive from the President's Memorandum on Restoring Accountability for Career Senior Executives. This memorandum, dated January 20, 2025, instructs that current performance boards be disbanded and re-formed with members who are dedicated to strictly enforcing Senior Executive Service performance evaluations. The new board will be set up later after the appropriate appointments are made within the agency.

    Simple Explanation

    The Selective Service System is getting rid of its old review team that checks how well its top leaders are doing their jobs, and they will make a new team later to make sure everyone is being fair. But they haven't said exactly who will be on the new team or when it will be ready.

    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a notice regarding a petition from the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education on behalf of the Desert Research Institute. The petition seeks an exemption from certain Federal Aviation Regulations to operate a heavy unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for research and training purposes. The Desert Research Institute wishes to fly a UAS weighing up to 76.9 pounds and requests permission to hold only a remote pilot certificate, rather than meeting the full FAA written test requirements. Public comments on the petition are invited by February 19, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Desert Research Institute wants a special permission to fly a big drone weighing a lot for learning and research, without taking the usual big test that pilots need. They’ve asked people to share what they think about this idea by February 19, 2025.
