The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has decided to revoke John Stanton, M.D.'s DEA registration because his medical license in Tennessee was revoked, meaning he can't legally handle controlled substances in the state. An Order to Show Cause was issued previously, suggesting the removal of his DEA Certificate of Registration, as he didn't request a hearing, leading to a default judgment. As a result, the DEA has also denied Dr. Stanton's pending applications for any new registration in Tennessee. This decision was signed by the Acting Administrator of the DEA and will take effect on May 21, 2025.

The FRA is accepting comments on this proposal until March 11, 2021, and people can submit their thoughts through various methods like online, fax, mail, or in-person delivery. If anyone wants a public hearing, they must request it before the comment deadline.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) decided to deny Polytech Plastic Molding, Inc.'s request for an exemption that would allow their vehicles to use a special lighting module. This module, made by Intellistop, Inc., can make brake lights flash to improve visibility.

Although some comments supported the potential safety benefits, the agency was concerned about safety risks and proper regulatory compliance.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is requesting feedback on the development of Child Nutrition Programs Tribal Pilot Projects.

This request, submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is part of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)'s efforts to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Comments are invited on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of this collection until June 4, 2025.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has denied a petition from Aldelberto A. Cordova requesting an investigation into an alleged defect in the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC300's 48-volt system, which reportedly caused warning lights to illuminate and led to starting issues. After reviewing the petition and information from Mercedes-Benz, NHTSA concluded that the problems may be linked to a software error in a different component, the Central Powertrain Controller (CPC), which is already being addressed through a service campaign by Mercedes-Benz. NHTSA found no grounds for a safety defect investigation at this time, but will continue to monitor any new safety information.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced its decision to deny Albert Farley, Jr.'s request for an exemption from certain training instructor requirements under the entry-level driver training regulations. Farley wanted to become an instructor for students seeking Class A Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) without having the required two years of driving experience with Class A vehicles. After reviewing the application and public comments, the FMCSA determined that granting this exemption would not ensure the same level of safety as the current regulations, which aim to improve highway safety through standardized training requirements. As a result, Farley's application for exemption was denied.
