  • 2020-29287 — Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System (EMPAS)
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 1288
    Reading Time:about 21 minutes

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has finalized a rule known as the Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System (EMPAS), which allows it to prioritize certain contracts that promote national defense. This rule is part of FEMA's response to the COVID-19 emergency and aims to ensure critical materials and resources are available domestically. The rule, effective January 8, 2021, was established under the Defense Production Act and involves giving some contracts priority for health and medical resources needed to combat COVID-19. It follows the interim rule published in May 2020, with minor technical changes.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA has made a rule that helps them make sure the most important things, like masks and medicines, are made and sent out quickly to help with emergencies like the COVID-19 situation. This means some companies have to make and send these things really fast, even if they have other orders to fill.

  • 2021-00130 — Wallingford Renewable Energy LLC; Supplemental Notice That Initial Market-Based Rate Filing Includes Request for Blanket Section 204 Authorization
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 1492
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    Wallingford Renewable Energy LLC has applied for permission to set rates based on the market and has requested blanket approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for future securities issues and liabilities, as outlined in 18 CFR part 34. Individuals interested in challenging or supporting this request must file their interventions or protests by January 25, 2021. FERC encourages electronic submissions but also accepts mail-in filings at their Washington, DC address. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, access to FERC's Public Reference Room is suspended, but documents can be accessed online through their website.

    Simple Explanation

    Wallingford Renewable Energy wants to set their prices based on what the market decides and asks permission to do this from a government group. People who want to say "yes" or "no" to this idea need to tell the group by a certain date, and because of COVID, they mostly need to do this online.
