The Department of Justice proposes a new rule to implement the Homicide Victims' Families' Rights Act of 2021. This rule aims to set up a system for reviewing and potentially reinvestigating unsolved murder cases, also known as "cold cases," that were initially investigated by federal law enforcement more than three years ago. Eligible family members of victims can apply to have a case reviewed, and if new evidence is found, a full reinvestigation may be conducted. The rule also calls for better coordination between federal agencies and requires annual reporting of actions taken under the Act.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for maintaining air quality standards for ozone in the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle area. This revision helps ensure the area continues to meet the 1997 8-hour ozone standards through 2027. The EPA found that Pennsylvania's submission satisfied legal requirements, even after discovering a minor computational error in emission data that did not affect the decision. This approval makes certain air quality maintenance commitments enforceable under federal law.
