The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final rule establishing tolerances for the herbicide metamitron residues in apples and pears at 0.01 parts per million. This rule was requested by ADAMA AGAN and is based on the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The EPA conducted an extensive risk assessment and determined that this tolerance is safe for human consumption, including for infants and children, with no significant risks identified. The rule is effective March 11, 2025, and interested parties can file objections or request hearings by May 12, 2025.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) received a petition from Peabody Midwest Mining, LLC, requesting a modification to existing safety regulations. Peabody seeks permission to use battery-powered non-permissible radios within certain mining areas, as current permissible radios are no longer available. They propose alternative safety measures, including using intrinsically safe radios and conducting thorough safety checks. Comments on the petition are open until January 6, 2025, and can be submitted through various methods provided by MSHA.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to update a rule related to the management of air quality in the Feather River Air Quality Management District in California. This proposed rule aims to regulate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from surface preparation and clean-up operations, which contribute to air pollution and health issues like smog. The rule revision is meant to enhance the existing measures under the Clean Air Act by reducing VOC limits and adjusting requirements on labeling and recordkeeping. The public is invited to comment on this proposal until February 18, 2021, before the EPA takes final action.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that modifies various airspace classifications at the Camp Guernsey Airport in Wyoming to better support instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. This update includes changes to Class D and Class E airspace areas. These changes ensure safe and efficient use of the airspace by accommodating IFR arrivals and departures while updating the legal descriptions of the airport's airspace. The modifications are effective from February 20, 2025, and are noted as routine updates with no significant impact on small entities or the environment.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that modifies the Class E airspace at Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson Field in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The changes involve expanding the airspace that starts 700 feet above the ground while removing the section that begins at 1,200 feet, to enhance safety and support for flights using instrument flight rules. This action is aimed at improving air traffic procedures without causing significant environmental or economic impacts. The modification will take effect on August 7, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed changes to the airspace at Great Falls International Airport in Montana. The proposal includes modifying Class E airspace in various ways to improve the management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. This involves reducing the size of certain airspace areas and removing unnecessary references, such as the Great Falls VORTAC and Malmstrom AFB, from airspace descriptions. These changes aim to enhance safety and efficiency in airspace management around the airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a rule to change the airspace regulations at Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson Field in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The proposal includes modifying the Class E airspace starting 700 feet above the ground and removing the Class E airspace starting 1,200 feet above the ground. These changes aim to improve the management and safety of visual and instrument flight operations. The FAA is accepting public comments on the proposal until January 24, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to modify and establish different classes of airspace around the General WM J Fox Airfield Airport in Lancaster, CA. The changes include adjustments to the Class E airspace to better manage aircraft, extending the Class E airspace from 700 feet above the surface, and removing certain navigational aids from the Class E4 description to simplify the airspace definition. Additionally, the rule introduces administrative corrections, such as updating geographical coordinates and revising terminology like replacing "Airport/Facilities Directory" with "Chart Supplement."

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule altering the airspace around Palmdale USAF Plant 42 Airport in California. The rule redefines parts of Class D and Class E airspace to ensure safe and efficient flight operations, especially for aircraft descending to certain altitudes. It also makes changes to remove unnecessary overlaps with other airspace areas and include corrections to legal descriptions. No public comments were received during the proposal stage, and the changes are considered routine without significant environmental or economic impacts.

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) has approved changes to Wyoming's regulatory program under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. These changes allow for the disposal of decommissioned wind turbine blades and towers as backfill in surface coal mining operations. The amendment aims to address the disposal challenges posed by the large number of wind turbine components while ensuring compliance with existing environmental standards. The rule will become effective on February 12, 2025, and does not impact air or water quality standards, so no further Environmental Protection Agency concurrence was needed.
