    The Rural Housing Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has introduced a final rule updating how credit reports are obtained for the eligibility and feasibility assessments in the Multifamily Housing Programs. Starting January 30, 2025, applicants will need to provide their own credit reports instead of paying a fee for the agency to do it, simplifying the process and aligning with industry practices. This update also includes adding definitions and specific requirements for credit reports, aiming to streamline and modernize the applications for housing loans and grants in rural areas.

    Simple Explanation

    The USDA wants people who apply for certain housing help in the country to bring their own credit report, like bringing a report card from school. This means they won't have to pay a fee for the report, making it easier for them to get help.

    The Drug Enforcement Administration proposes to make seven fentanyl-related substances permanently controlled under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. These substances, identified as dangerous opioids, are currently regulated under a temporary order due to their potential for abuse and health hazards. If this proposal is finalized, it would enforce permanent restrictions and legal penalties on the handling of these substances, which include para-chlorofentanyl and ortho-chlorofentanyl. The public is encouraged to submit comments on this rule by January 29, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to make rules that say these seven types of dangerous drugs will always be illegal because they can hurt people. They want people to share their thoughts about this plan by the end of January next year.
