This permit allows the company to film up to 540 humpback whales each year using vessels, drones, and underwater divers. The company is also permitted to film up to 50 common bottlenose dolphins and 50 spinner dolphins interacting with these whales. The footage will be used for a natural history TV series. The permit is valid until April 30, 2026, and the activity is excluded from needing an environmental assessment.

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is seeking to renew its approval for collecting information from manufacturers and importers of carpets and rugs. These standards, issued under the Flammable Fabrics Act, aim to ensure that carpets and rugs meet safety requirements for surface flammability. Companies must perform tests and maintain records to certify that their products comply with these flammability standards. The CPSC estimates that manufacturers and importers must collectively perform about 25,000 tests annually, with the associated costs potentially reaching over $1.8 million. Public comments on this information collection request are due by April 4, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The people who make carpets have to test them to make sure they don't catch fire easily. The government is checking if they can keep asking these people to test their carpets to keep everyone safe.
