    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a correction to a previous rule document related to hazardous air pollutants and dry cleaning facilities. The correction is about a date listed in the document. Originally, the date was mistakenly written as "January 7, 2024" and should be "January 7, 2025". This correction ensures the rule reflects the correct year for compliance or reference.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA made a fix to a rule about pollution from dry cleaning. They corrected an important date from "January 7, 2024" to "January 7, 2025" so everything matches up right.

    The Department of Energy (DOE) is delaying the effective date of a rule that updates the testing methods for residential and commercial clothes washers and dryers.

    Simple Explanation

    The energy department is postponing the start date of a new rule for testing washing machines and dryers to later in March, giving them more time to make sure everything is right. They are also asking people if they think it should be delayed even more and why.

The rule change was confirmed after the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the related information collection requirements.

    The U.S. Copyright Office has issued a clarification regarding the compliance date for certain reporting obligations related to royalty reporting practices of cable operators. Initially, the compliance was supposed to start with the filing deadline of March 1, 2025, but it has been pushed to August 29, 2025. This decision is due to the fact that the new Statement of Account (SOA) form and instructions are not ready yet. This change impacts reports covering the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Copyright Office is telling cable companies that they have extra time to get ready for new rules about reporting payments for using TV shows and movies because the forms they need aren't ready yet. They now have until the end of August 2025 to start following these rules.
