The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a notice for a proposed order under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This order would allow certain business development companies and closed-end management investment companies to co-invest in portfolio companies with each other and with affiliated investment entities, which would otherwise be prohibited under existing rules. The application for this order, involving multiple applicants like MidCap Financial Investment Corporation and Apollo Investment Management, has been filed and amended several times in 2024. Interested individuals can request a hearing by January 13, 2025, with specified instructions for doing so.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), part of the Department of Transportation, announced a new study to examine how Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) systems help drivers respond better. They plan to collect information from up to 80 drivers and want feedback from the public by May 9, 2025. The aim is to improve safety features in cars, reducing crashes by preventing lane departures. NHTSA will later release a report with their findings.

The Department of Defense (DoD) announced a proposed sale of military equipment to the Government of Greece, including up to 40 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft and various supporting items, with an estimated total cost of $8.6 billion. This sale is intended to support U.S. foreign policy by strengthening the military capabilities of Greece, a NATO ally, and improving its ability to maintain regional security. The equipment will help Greece modernize its air force and enhance its interoperability with U.S. and NATO forces. The DoD assures that this sale will not negatively affect U.S. defense readiness and has been authorized for export to Greece.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is proposing new procedures to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), including the addition of new categorical exclusions (CEs). These CEs are actions usually not expected to impact the environment significantly. NIST seeks public input on these draft procedures and the justification for the new CEs by January 10, 2025. The proposal is part of a larger effort to streamline and ensure consistency with environmental regulations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Polyether Polyols (PEPO) Production industry. The proposed changes, under the Clean Air Act (CAA), aim to address harmful emissions of ethylene oxide (EtO) and other hazardous air pollutants to improve air quality and public health. The EPA suggests tighter controls on process vents, storage vessels, equipment leaks, heat exchange systems, and wastewater, and plans to implement fenceline monitoring to measure and manage emissions more effectively. The agency estimates significant reductions in harmful emissions with these new standards.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is creating a new group called the Methane Plume Remote Sensing Measurements Consortium. This group will bring together agencies, businesses, and researchers to improve the detection and measurement of methane gas emissions using remote sensing technology. They aim to enhance trust in data by developing better standards and strategies. Those interested in joining the Consortium can apply and, if selected, will need to sign a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is inviting comments from the public and other Federal agencies on a proposed information collection effort as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This involves evaluating whether the information collected is necessary for the FCC’s functions, how to improve the quality and clarity of this information, and ways to reduce the burden on businesses, particularly small ones. The FCC is focusing on compliance with rules that address robocall mitigation and caller ID authentication under various Acts and Orders, requiring service providers to certify their efforts and document specific practices to enforce compliance with regulations. Comments should be submitted by June 20, 2025.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a correction to a previous rule document related to hazardous air pollutants and dry cleaning facilities. The correction is about a date listed in the document. Originally, the date was mistakenly written as "January 7, 2024" and should be "January 7, 2025". This correction ensures the rule reflects the correct year for compliance or reference.

The NITRD Joint Engineering Team (JET) and Middleware And Grid Interagency Coordination (MAGIC) Communities of Practice hold public meetings throughout 2025, providing opportunities for interaction between federal agencies and the public. These meetings, facilitated by the National Science Foundation, focus on sharing information about research and technology development. Interested individuals can participate in these meetings, which will be available via Zoom, and can sign up for notifications or submit comments through designated email addresses. Meeting details, including dates and agendas, are posted on the NITRD Public Meetings webpage.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the release of a final guidance document titled "Mouse Embryo Assay for Assisted Reproduction Technology Devices." This guidance provides recommendations on conducting the mouse embryo assay (MEA), which is used to evaluate the potential for embryotoxicity of devices that come into contact with gametes and/or embryos. The FDA has revised the guidance based on public comments and has made several technical clarifications. The document emphasizes that following FDA guidelines is not mandatory and alternative approaches are acceptable if they meet relevant requirements.
