This final rule, implemented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), fulfills requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Whistleblower Act. It offers rewards to whistleblowers who provide original information regarding motor vehicle defects, noncompliance, or violations that might lead to severe injury or death, if this information aids in successfully resolving enforcement actions. The rule details procedures for submitting information, eligibility for awards, maintaining confidentiality, and factors in award determination. It aims to motivate employees of car manufacturers, part suppliers, and dealerships to report serious safety issues by clarifying protections and ensuring confidentiality.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has finalized a rule changing the 5.9 GHz band to support cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology, which is intended to improve transportation safety and efficiency. By 2027, existing systems using older technology known as Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) must transition to C-V2X, as the DSRC licenses will no longer be issued. The rule outlines technical guidelines for both roadside and vehicle units, emphasizes message priority for safety communications, and does not require compensation for entities transitioning to the new technology. The FCC expects these changes to enhance traffic safety while supporting the development of new transportation technologies.

The NYSE American LLC has proposed a change to its Rule 971.2NY, which involves their Complex Customer Best Execution Auction (CUBE). This rule change introduces an optional all-or-none feature for larger orders in the Complex CUBE Auction, aiming to offer better pricing and competition for larger-sized trades (with at least 500 contracts on the smallest leg). The proposed functionality aligns with similar mechanisms available on other exchanges, enhancing the ability of ATP Holders to secure price improvements for large orders. The Securities and Exchange Commission has determined that this rule change does not significantly impact investor protection or competition and has allowed it to go into effect immediately.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a proposed rule change by the Cboe Exchange, Inc., which was amended twice. The rule change allows Cboe to impose a maximum size requirement of ten contracts for agency orders in SPX options during Regular Trading Hours (RTH) on its Automated Price Improvement Mechanisms (AIM and C-AIM). The decision was made based on data showing that smaller orders, between one to ten contracts, benefited most from these electronic auctions in terms of price improvements, compared to larger orders. This measure is expected to enhance retail customer participation and provide better execution opportunities for these smaller orders.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced a new rule to enhance the reliability and integrity of submissions made through its electronic system, EDGAR. This new rule allows the SEC to take specific actions like removing sensitive personal information, blocking submissions that pose cybersecurity threats, and addressing unauthorized use or errors. Additionally, the rule outlines how the SEC will notify filers of these actions. The rule aims to provide clearer guidance on the SEC's administrative processes while maintaining the security and accuracy of information submitted through EDGAR.

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is proposing changes to the regulations governing Credit Union Service Organizations (CUSOs). The proposed rule aims to expand the types of loans CUSOs can originate to match any loan that a Federal credit union (FCU) may offer, giving credit unions more flexibility in their operations. Additionally, the rule seeks to broaden the investment power of FCUs in CUSOs, potentially allowing investment in organizations that serve the broader financial community, not just credit unions. The NCUA invites public comments on these proposals, which aim to enhance credit union competitiveness and cooperative efforts.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing a new rule to improve how vehicle recall notifications are sent to owners. Thanks to the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), this rule would require electronic notifications alongside traditional first-class mail. The aim is to ensure more people are informed about recalls for vehicles or equipment with safety defects. NHTSA seeks public feedback on this proposal and plans to gradually implement it, allowing manufacturers enough time to adapt.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule aimed at improving safety for certain Boeing 767 airplane models. This is in response to significant changes in limitations related to preventing fuel tank ignition and updating the nitrogen generation system. The proposed rule would require changes to maintenance programs for these aircraft to address potential safety hazards. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal by April 12, 2021.

On October 3, 2023, Venezuela was designated for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) due to conditions in the country that made it unsafe for Venezuelans to return home. This status was set to expire on April 2, 2025. However, after reviewing the situation in Venezuela, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security decided that it's against the U.S. national interest for Venezuelans to remain in the U.S. under the 2023 TPS designation. As a result, this designation is being terminated, effective April 7, 2025. The termination doesn't affect the 2021 TPS designation for Venezuela, which remains active until September 10, 2025.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed new rules to revise health insurance standards under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. These changes focus on improving the integrity of insurance marketplaces, especially concerning eligibility and enrollment systems. Key revisions include stricter policies on past-due premium payments and a proposal to exclude Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients from health coverage through marketplaces. Additionally, the proposal aims to strengthen oversight on agents and brokers to prevent improper enrollments, which are believed to have cost taxpayers billions of dollars in recent years.
