The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a change to the operating license for Florida Power and Light Company's Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 4. This amendment would delay the installation of new reactor coolant pump seals from spring 2025 to spring 2027 due to unexpected fabrication delays. The NRC has preliminarily determined that this change does not pose significant safety risks and is accepting public comments until March 21, 2025. Requests for a hearing or petitions to intervene can be filed by April 21, 2025.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering renewing the operating licenses for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant in Wisconsin, allowing it to operate for an additional 20 years beyond its current licenses. These licenses for the plant's two units are set to expire in 2030 and 2033. If the renewal application is approved, the NRC will ensure that the aging and environmental impacts are managed, and they will provide an opportunity for public hearings and intervening petitions by March 23, 2021. This process involves an electronic filing system and may include public scoping meetings for environmental considerations.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has introduced updates to its regulations regarding aircraft registration and recordation. These changes aim to ease administrative requirements by allowing the submission of non-original documents electronically and ending the practice of stamping documents. The new Civil Aviation Registry Electronic Services (CARES) system will be used to enhance online registration processes, providing users with more efficient and flexible options than traditional methods. The amendments are expected to save costs for both the FAA and users while streamlining the registration process.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for Canard Aerospace Corporation's modification of the DeHavilland Model DHC-8-400 series airplane. This modification involves installing a digital systems architecture that increases the airplane's connectivity to external networks, like the internet and wireless devices. The FAA determined that existing safety regulations do not fully address this novel design feature, so additional safety standards are being proposed to secure the airplane's electronic systems from unauthorized access and potential security threats. These conditions aim to ensure that the airplane remains safe and functional despite these new connectivity features.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is proposing a new interpretive rule to help companies and investors understand existing rules around electronic fund transfers (EFTs) as people use new ways to transfer money for personal purposes.

The goal is to ensure consumer rights and liabilities under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) are clear and consistently applied, preventing confusion and competitive disadvantages among service providers. They seek public feedback on this proposal by March 31, 2025.

The NRC found that there is a valid reason for the extension and that it does not pose significant safety risks. This extension allows more time to resolve an ongoing legal dispute concerning the plant's sale.
