    Citation:90 FR 2708
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Secretary of Health and Human Services has given the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) the authority to oversee the National Parkinson's Project, as outlined in the National Plan to End Parkinson's Act. This involves managing efforts to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure Parkinson's disease, and includes setting up an Advisory Council on Parkinson's Research, Care, and Services. The Secretary will still handle reporting to Congress, making regulations, and appointing Council members, while the NIH can pass on some of its responsibilities under this delegation. This change takes effect immediately.

    Simple Explanation

    The boss of health gave the NIH's head the job of managing a project to stop Parkinson's disease, like being a team captain, but the big boss will still handle important stuff like talking to Congress and making rules.

    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 5188

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has updated Virginia's authority to enforce certain federal air pollution standards. This change allows Virginia to implement and enforce federal standards for hazardous air pollutants and new source performance standards, which are rules designed to control air pollution from specific sources. The update ensures Virginia can continue to enforce these standards as they are updated in federal regulations. The EPA also informed Virginia that the exemption for startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) periods should no longer be allowed due to a court ruling.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA told Virginia they can now help with making sure people follow certain air pollution rules, but they can't ignore pollution that happens when machines start or stop anymore, because a court said so.
