The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve changes to Illinois' rules for notifying the public about air pollution permits. These changes were submitted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and remove the need to publish these notices in newspapers, allowing electronic notices instead. This approach aligns with federal requirements to provide faster and more efficient public notice. The EPA believes the state's new system meets the requirements of the Clean Air Act and related federal regulations.

The Department of the Interior proposes updates to the regulations governing the probate of property held in trust or restricted status for American Indians. These updates aim to make the probate process more efficient by introducing an expedited procedure for smaller estates, improving communication through electronic notices, and clarifying the reasons for reopening probate cases. Additionally, the updates seek to streamline the "purchase at probate" process and address various identified issues, such as gaps in intestacy distribution and the handling of minor estate inventory corrections. The public is invited to comment on the proposed changes, which are designed to close probate cases faster, bringing more certainty to the distribution of estates.
