The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has issued a final rule that updates the maximum daily civil penalties for violations related to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA). These updates adjust for inflation, applying a 2025 multiplier set at 1.02598, which reflects inflation from October 2023 through October 2024. The adjusted penalties now stand at $55,764 for OCSLA and $59,114 for OPA violations. These changes, effective January 13, 2025, ensure BOEM penalties maintain their deterrent effect and comply with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to withdraw a previous decision to classify certain miscellaneous gas products, like decorative hearths and outdoor heaters, as covered consumer products under energy conservation regulations. This decision is part of the DOE's efforts to comply with the Executive Order "Unleashing American Energy," which aims to ensure that energy regulations are practical and do not overly limit consumer choice. The DOE's proposal suggests that these gas products do not have enough in common functionally to be treated as the same type of product for regulatory purposes. Public comments on this proposal are being accepted until April 14, 2025, through various submission methods, including the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
