    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8326
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor is proposing to delay the effective date of the "Independent Contractor Rule" from March 8, 2021, to May 7, 2021. This proposal follows a Presidential directive for a regulatory freeze to allow for further review of new rules. The rule aims to establish a new standard for classifying workers as employees or independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Public comments on this delay are encouraged and must be submitted by February 24, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Labor Department is thinking about delaying a decision on a rule that tells whether people working are like employees or freelancers (independent contractors). This delay is to make sure the rules are right, and they want to hear what people think before making a final choice.

  • 2021-04093 — Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Over People; Delay of Effective Date; Correction
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11623
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has delayed the effective date of a rule concerning the operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (drones) over people. Originally set to take effect on March 1, 2021, the rule is now delayed until March 16, 2021. This delay is in response to a directive for a "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review" issued by the Assistant to the President. The final rule will allow routine drone operations over people and moving vehicles and at night, with specific conditions, and includes changes to testing rules and certification presentations.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of airplane rules are waiting a little longer before they let small drones fly over people and cars—they were supposed to start on March 1, 2021, but now have to wait until March 16, 2021, so they can make sure everything is safe and ready.

  • 2025-04979 — Privacy Act; Implementation; Further Delay of Effective Date
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13416
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is further delaying the start date of rules related to the "NIH Police Records," a new Privacy Act system managed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Initially set to take effect on February 18, 2025, these rules were delayed to March 21, 2025, following a Presidential directive. This notice extends the delay until May 5, 2025. The delay ensures these rules comply with a Presidential order to review new regulations before they become active.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Health and Human Services is pushing back the date when new rules for keeping police records safe at the National Institutes of Health will start, so more time is allowed to check these rules. They are making sure everything is okay before actually using them by moving the start date to May 5, 2025.

  • 2025-01903 — Section 8e Import Inspection Fee Structure
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8367
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Agricultural Marketing Service of the USDA is delaying the start date of a rule originally set for December 30, 2024, which revises fees for import inspections of fresh fruits and vegetables. These changes included adjusting fees from a per-carlot to a per-pound basis and reducing fees for additional sublots. The delay, effective January 29, 2025, gives the department more time to review these regulations, following a directive from the President for a regulatory freeze pending further review. The delay is immediate and skips public comment because the rule's start date was approaching quickly.

    Simple Explanation

    The USDA wanted to change how they charge for checking fruits and veggies coming into the country, but they decided to wait before starting this new plan because the President asked them to pause and review it for any needed tweaks.
