The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 is proposing to reissue a general permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for specific marine net pen facilities in Puget Sound. This draft permit would apply to tribal enhancement net pens, which can raise up to 200,000 pounds of native salmonids annually, and federal research net pen facilities, which can raise up to 100,000 pounds of native finfish each year. Facilities currently eligible for the permit coverage must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) within 90 days of the permit's effective date, while new facilities starting operations afterward must submit their NOI at least 180 days before they start operating. The EPA is currently accepting public comments on this proposal until March 26, 2021.

The Department of the Air Force intends to grant an exclusive patent license to the Trustees of Tufts College for a new technology involving optical-based microneedle sensors. These sensors can detect substances in body fluid in a minimally invasive way and offer advantages over other types of sensors, such as longer shelf life and less sensitivity to biofouling. People have 15 days from the publication date to object. If anyone provides a timely and valid objection or submits a competing application, it may be considered as an alternative to granting the license.
