    The Coast Guard, as part of the Department of Homeland Security, has established a temporary safety zone on the Potomac River between the 14th Street Bridge and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. This safety zone is in response to a midair collision between a jet and a helicopter near Reagan Washington National Airport, which resulted in the jet landing in the river. The safety zone is effective from February 7 to February 21, 2025, to protect first responders, vessels, and the public from hazards such as debris and jet fuel. Entry into this zone is prohibited without authorization from the Captain of the Port (COTP) Maryland-National Capital Region or their representative.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard made a special rule to keep boats and people away from a part of the Potomac River because a plane crashed into the river, and they need to clean up safely. This area is off-limits from February 7 to February 21, 2025, unless they say it's okay to go in.

    In response to a Presidential Memorandum issued on January 20, 2025, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) is delaying the effective dates of two regulatory program amendments in Wyoming and Montana. These amendments were initially published in January 2025 and were set to take effect soon. The Wyoming amendment addresses the disposal of wind turbine blades and towers in surface coal mining sites, while the Montana amendment deals with definitions and permit requirements related to environmental regulations. The delay is meant to provide time for further review and consideration without public input, as seeking such input would be impractical given the time constraints.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is taking more time to think about new rules in Wyoming and Montana that deal with recycling big parts of wind turbines and how to follow the environment's rules, like making sure we don't damage the earth when digging for coal.
