    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has implemented a final rule to remove outdated and duplicative regulations related to "Prompt Corrective Action" that were inherited from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The goal is to streamline regulations and ensure clarity by consolidating these rules into existing FDIC regulations. This change affects state savings associations, making it clear that all FDIC-supervised institutions will follow the same regulations. These adjustments are not expected to have substantial impacts on small entities, as the rules remain consistent with existing FDIC standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The FDIC has decided to clean up old rules from another agency to make things simpler, so now all banks they watch over will follow the same rules, kind of like having the same bedtime rules for all kids in the house.

    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has issued a final rule to repeal a previous requirement for State departments of transportation (State DOTs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to establish greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets and report their progress. This decision was made because the rule was seen as unnecessary and potentially burdensome, with no clear legal backing and minimal benefits. Notably, the courts had already blocked the rule, citing legal and regulatory issues. Repealing this requirement provides clarity and aligns with recent legal decisions, but it doesn't stop State DOTs and MPOs from voluntarily tracking their own CO2 emissions.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Highway Administration decided to stop making state transportation departments set goals for reducing pollution from cars, which some thought was unnecessary and confusing. This change means states can choose to track pollution on their own if they want.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a rule allowing a specific level of the pesticide ethiprole on imported sugarcane, upon request from Bayer CropScience LP, in accordance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). The rule, effective from December 27, 2024, sets a maximum residue level of 0.07 parts per million. This comes after a review showing no expected harm to the general public, including infants and children, from exposure to this pesticide. The rule does not require any proposed rule issuance, nor does it impact states or tribal governments.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has decided it's okay to have a tiny bit of a chemical called ethiprole on sugarcane that comes from other countries because they checked and said it's safe for everyone, including little kids. Bayer CropScience asked for this decision, and it starts at the end of December 2024.
