    Reading Time:less than a minute

    In the Federal Register document titled "Removal of National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Regulations," a correction has been made to rule document 2025-03014. Originally, the date “April 11, 2025,” was printed incorrectly. It has been corrected to read “March 27, 2025.” This correction is documented on page 10611.

    Simple Explanation

    In a document about environmental rules, they fixed a mistake with a date. Instead of saying April 11, 2025, it should be March 27, 2025.

  • 2024-28845 — Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; 2025 Specifications for the Summer Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass, and Bluefish Fisheries
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 99138
    Reading Time:about 32 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announced the 2025 fishing limits for summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, and bluefish to prevent overfishing and manage fisheries sustainably. The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission worked with NMFS to set these limits based on scientific data. Most public comments supported these limits, although some expressed concerns about overfishing, particularly for black sea bass. NMFS clarified that the new limits are consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and are not expected to harm fish populations.

    Simple Explanation

    The people who take care of fish in the ocean have decided how many fish can be caught in 2025, so we don't catch too many and run out. They used a lot of science to make sure that there will be plenty of fish left in the sea.

  • 2021-02535 — Air Plan Approval; New Hampshire; Sulfur Content Limitations for Fuels
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8566
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes approving New Hampshire's updated sulfur content standards for fuels, replacing older regulations. This revision, submitted on March 11, 2019, aims to lower sulfur limits in liquid and solid fuels, improving air quality and aligning with state law changes. Notably, the regulation allows temporary deferrals of sulfur limits during fuel shortages, provided conditions are met, and requires EPA notification. Public comments on the proposal are invited until March 10, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to change how much sulfur is allowed in fuels in New Hampshire to help clean the air. This means less stinky stuff in the air but sometimes, if there's not enough fuel, they might let it slide a little.

  • 2021-03983 — Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; Large Municipal Waste Combustors Negative Declaration Withdrawal for Designated Facilities and Pollutants
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11916
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve Wisconsin's request to withdraw a previous declaration that stated it had no Large Municipal Waste Combustors (LMWCs). Now, with one LMWC unit operating, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wants the federal plan to apply to this single unit instead of creating a new state plan. The EPA believes it would be unreasonable to require Wisconsin to make a state plan for just one unit and is moving forward with allowing the federal plan to remain in effect. This proposed rule will have no significant economic impact on small entities.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is saying it's okay for Wisconsin to follow a big plan from the U.S. government instead of making their own special rules for handling trash from a giant waste-burning machine, because they only have one of them in the whole state.
