The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is asking for public feedback on its Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) Program. They are seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for collecting information to determine if mortgages qualify for insurance under specific energy efficiency guidelines. HUD is interested in comments on whether the information collection is necessary, as well as suggestions to improve the process. Public comments are due by January 10, 2025.

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) approved a program comment aimed at facilitating the ongoing use and preservation of historic properties from the Mission 66 era (1945-1972). This initiative, which supports the National Park Service (NPS), serves as an alternative procedure for meeting obligations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The program comment offers a streamlined review process, allowing superintendents to consider these properties as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, potentially reducing the need for extensive reviews. The ACHP collaborated on this initiative with various stakeholders, including State Historic Preservation Officers and Tribal representatives, to address concerns and incorporate feedback.
