The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to renew an information collection request related to the National Study of Nutrient Removal and Secondary Technologies at publicly owned treatment works (POTW). They aim to gather comments from the public on specific aspects of this process. The screener questionnaire will help collect data on the performance of secondary treatment plants in nutrient removal, which is important for improving water quality. The study's ultimate goal is to establish a comprehensive database that will guide future policies and actions, with findings shared with the public, while ensuring confidentiality where necessary.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposes new rules to enhance the accuracy and transparency of transmission line ratings to better reflect real-time conditions. The proposal includes requiring transmission providers to use ambient-adjusted ratings (AAR) that consider current air temperatures and dynamic line ratings (DLR) for more accurate transfer capabilities. It also suggests that Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) need systems to frequently update these ratings electronically. The goal is to ensure fairer and more efficient energy pricing while maintaining the safety and reliability of the electrical grid.

The United States International Trade Commission announced an expedited review to decide if ending the antidumping duty on malleable iron pipe fittings from China would likely cause harm to U.S. industries. This review follows the Tariff Act of 1930, and the Commission found the local industry's response sufficient but China's inadequate, prompting a quicker review. Written comments from interested parties are due by May 8, 2025. The Commission has extended the review period by up to 90 days, deeming the matter extraordinarily complicated.
