OFPP, DoD, GSA, and NASA (collectively referred to as the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council or FAR Council) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 14275, Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement. The E.O. directs the elimination of excessive acquisition regulations to stop the inefficient use of American taxpayer dollars. The FAR Council is issuing twelve proposed rules that collectively, if finalized, would streamline the FAR in its entirety. This rule proposes revisions to FAR parts 9, 27, 47, and 52.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Pratt & Whitney (PW) Model PW1519G, PW1521G, PW1521GA, PW1521G- 3, PW1524G, PW1524G-3, PW1525G, PW1525G-3, PW1919G, PW1919G-RC, PW1921G, PW1921G-RC, PW1922G, PW1923G, and PW1923G-A engines with a certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) module installed. This proposed AD was prompted by six reports of clashing found on either the HPC 2nd stage rotor or 3rd stage rotor caused by contact with the corresponding HPC variable stator vanes (VSV). This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive borescope inspections (BSIs) of the HPC 1st stage, 2nd stage, and 3rd stage rotor rear rim surfaces for evidence of wear, scratching, or contact with the corresponding HPC VSV inner locating ring and, depending on the results, removal from service and replacement. This proposed AD would also require replacement of the HPC VSV bushing set as terminating action to the initial and repetitive BSIs of the HPC 1st stage, 2nd stage, and 3rd stage rotor rear rim surfaces. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

In this action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is supplementing its proposal to repeal all greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs) to effectuate the best reading of Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111. We propose that CAA section 111 does not authorize the EPA to regulate emissions from power plants in response to global climate change concerns. For the multiple and independent reasons described herein, this additional rationale would also require rescinding the Administrator's contrary findings and determinations in 2015 and repealing all associated 2015 and 2024 GHG standards for the fossil fuel-fired EGU source category. In a separate action published concurrently with this supplemental notice, the EPA is finalizing the repeal of certain 2024 GHG standards for the fossil fuel-fired EGU source category on distinct legal and technical grounds. We are not reopening that final rule. Nor are we soliciting further comment on those issues through this supplemental notice, except to the extent that commenters believe the final rule bears on the distinct questions of statutory authority addressed herein.

In this final rule, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is repealing most provisions of the 2024 Carbon Pollution Standards for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs) based on a reevaluation of the best system of emission reduction for the relevant subcategories. Specifically, the EPA is repealing the emission guidelines for existing fossil fuel-fired steam generating units, the carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)-based standards for coal-fired steam generating units undertaking a large modification, and the CCS-based standards for new base load stationary combustion turbines (i.e., Phase 2 standards). In a separate action published concurrently with this final rule, the EPA is issuing a supplemental proposal soliciting comment on additional reasons to rescind all GHG emission requirements for fossil fuel-fired EGUs to effectuate the best reading of Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111 and ensure consistency with applicable principles of administrative law beyond those reasons on which the EPA solicited comment in the June 2025 notice of proposed rulemaking.

The Coast Guard is establishing two temporary safety zones to support U.S. military training operations. Zone 1 will encompass the navigable waters of Fleming Key Cut within a 500-foot radius of surface support vessels. Zone 2 will encompass the navigable waters of the Key West Main Ship Channel within a 500-foot radius of surface support vessels. The zones are needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from hazards associated with military training operations. Entry into either zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Key West, or a designated representative.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission" or "CFTC") is amending its rules implementing section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). Section 23 of the CEA and the Commission's implementing regulations provide for the payment of awards, subject to certain limitations and conditions, to whistleblowers who provide the Commission with information that aids in successful enforcement efforts. The Commission is adopting amendments, which are modeled on a similar provision in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") regulations, to part 165 of its regulations to increase the efficiency, transparency, and predictability of whistleblower claims process, thereby protecting and enhancing the program's effectiveness in incentivizing whistleblowers to report. The amendments also include technical corrections to the whistleblower rules to reflect the Whistleblower Office's ("WBO") move in 2025, consistent with its adjudicatory functions, to the Office of the General Counsel ("OGC").

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Model DHC-8-401 and DHC-8-402 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that instructions for fay, fillet, and rivet dome sealing were omitted for a bracket installed on the inboard surface of the tank rib, which could allow fuel to leak from the wing fuel tank into the wing dry bay. This proposed AD would require a detailed visual inspection of the affected bracket assembly for signs of fuel leakage and for the presence of fillet seal and fastener dome seal, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
