    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 1834
    Reading Time:about 114 minutes

    The Department of Labor is proposing changes to rules regarding filing and service in proceedings involving the Administrative Review Board. The new rules aim to make electronic filing (e-filing) and electronic service (e-service) mandatory for attorneys and representatives, while self-represented individuals will have the choice of using electronic or traditional methods. The proposed changes include updates to existing regulations, aiming for improved efficiency and reduced processing time by transitioning to electronic case files. Public comments on the proposed rulemaking are being solicited until February 10, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Labor wants lawyers to use computers to send and receive important documents instead of paper, making it faster and easier, but people who aren't lawyers can choose whether to use a computer or not. They are asking people to say what they think about this idea by a certain date.

  • 2024-29938 — Addition of American Single Malt Whisky to the Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 102726
    Reading Time:about 48 minutes

    The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has established a new standard of identity for "American single malt whisky," which specifies criteria such as mashing, distillation, and aging in the U.S., using only malted barley, and storage in oak barrels up to 700 liters. This rule follows feedback from distillers and industry associations, aiming to enhance transparency for consumers and support American producers. The new rule, effective January 19, 2025, allows caramel coloring with label disclosure and permits the "straight" designation for whiskies aged two years. There is a five-year transition period for existing labels to comply with the new standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The government made a new rule about American single malt whisky: it now has to be made a certain way, like using only malted barley and being aged in special barrels, to help people know what they're buying and support U.S. whisky makers. This new rule starts in January 2025, and there's a five-year period for whisky makers to change their labels to match the rule.
