    The Department of Commerce has issued a final rule to adjust civil monetary penalties (CMPs) for inflation, effective January 15, 2021. This adjustment is required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act and aims to ensure the penalties continue to serve as a deterrent. The changes will only apply to penalties with a specific dollar amount and will affect those assessed after the effective date. The penalties are adjusted based on the cost-of-living increase from October 2019 to October 2020.

  • 2025-04310 — Practices Before the Department of the Interior; Further Delay of Effective Date
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 12461
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Office of Hearings and Appeals of the Interior Department is further delaying the effective date of a rule concerning practices before the Department. Initially published on January 10, 2025, this rule's effective date was first set for February 10, 2025, then delayed to March 21, 2025, and now it is postponed again to May 5, 2025. This decision follows a memorandum from President Trump titled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review," intended to allow more time for the department to review the rule. The postponement is being enacted without public comment because it is deemed impractical and not in the public interest to delay further for comment.

    Simple Explanation

    The Interior Department is taking more time to think about a new rule that was supposed to start soon, so they are moving the start date from March to May. They decided this quickly without asking people what they think, because they believe it's important not to wait.

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) made a correction to a rule that was previously published on March 20, 2025. This rule involved updating the listing for the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR® Storage System with Amendment No. 15 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031. The correction was necessary to fix an error in the document's summary section, changing the phrase "head load" to "heat load." This rule will take effect on June 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission fixed a small mistake in a rule about special boxes that safely keep old nuclear fuel. They changed the word "head" to "heat" because these boxes have to keep cool to work right.
