This week's regulatory activity at a glance. The OMB updated federal regulatory procedures this week, changing how agencies issue guidance and enforcement actions. The new rules formalize timelines for public comment on major guidance documents and require agencies to track regulatory burden more explicitly. <strong>This doesn't change what gets regulated. It changes the paperwork trail.</strong> Separately, the EPA set new pesticide tolerances for <strong>hydrogen cyanide and eleven related compounds</strong>, implementing registration review decisions that began in 2019. The tolerances cover food crops including almonds, citrus, and stone fruits. The Federal Register notice runs 47 pages. The takeaway runs one sentence: maximum residue levels just dropped for fumigants used in storage facilities and shipping containers. The week also brought <strong>critical habitat designations for four freshwater mussel species</strong>, rayed bean, sheepnose, snuffbox, and spectaclecase, affecting rivers and streams across sixteen states from New York to Arkansas. The Fish and Wildlife Service carved out <strong>2,766 river miles as protected zones</strong>. Property owners in affected watersheds have ninety days to comment. |
