The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a final rule that requires its regulations to be reviewed periodically, with most regulations set to expire automatically every ten years unless reviewed. This is intended to ensure that regulations stay up-to-date and relevant. The final rule also includes processes for public comments and specifies the criteria for reviews, which include assessing whether the regulations significantly impact small entities, and if they are still necessary or need amendments. Certain regulations, such as those mandated by federal law and the annual Medicare payment update rules, are exempt from these reviews.

The Foreign-Trade Zones Board has approved an application to reorganize Foreign-Trade Zone 123 in Denver, Colorado, under the alternative site framework. This decision allows the World Trade Center Denver to manage a service area that includes several counties and categorize certain existing sites as magnet or usage-driven. The approval includes conditions such as a 2,000-acre activation limit and specific sunset provisions requiring sites to be activated or have foreign-status merchandise admitted within a set number of years. This ensures that the sites will indeed be used for foreign-trade purposes.
