    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have issued a final rule regarding the enforcement of REAL ID requirements for driver's licenses and identification cards used for federal purposes. Starting May 7, 2025, federal agencies must begin enforcing these requirements but can do so using a phased approach until May 5, 2027, if they consider factors like security, operational feasibility, and public impact. This rule aims to provide flexibility for a smoother transition since not all individuals currently possess REAL ID-compliant IDs. Agencies that choose phased enforcement must coordinate with DHS and publicly share their plans.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making sure everyone uses special ID cards called REAL ID for official things by 2025, but they're allowing agencies to switch over gradually until 2027 to make it easier for everyone. This means people might see different rules at different places, but it should all be ready by 2027.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has decided to remove an outdated regulation from the Code of Federal Regulations, which was related to environmental quality improvements in water resource projects. This rule, originally published in 1980, was found to be redundant and focused on internal agency processes that don't impact the public. Its removal is intended to reduce confusion about current policies, particularly those related to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This move is considered non-significant and not expected to have any financial impact on the public.

    Simple Explanation

    The Army Corps of Engineers had a rule about water and the environment that was really old and didn't need to be followed anymore, so they decided to erase it to make things simpler and clearer.
