The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Baykar Piaggio Aerospace S.p.A. (Piaggio) Model P-180 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of corrosion and cracks found around the head of attaching fasteners on main wing lower skin external reinforcement doublers. This proposed AD would require repetitive high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of the lower skin reinforcement and, depending on findings, corrective action. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

On June 27, 2025, the Departments issued an interim final rule ("IFR") to streamline assessment of civil penalties under the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") for aliens who fail to depart during a voluntary departure period, willfully fail or refuse to depart after a final removal order and certain other proscribed activities, or are apprehended while improperly entering or attempting to enter the United States. This final rule addresses comments and finalizes the IFR with one change: it permits acceptance of a late-filed appeal based on documented mail delivery delays that ICE finds were beyond the alien's control.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is approving an application from the State of Colorado that requests primary enforcement responsibility (primacy) for Class VI injection wells under Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) section 1422. The EPA's approval of the State's UIC program primacy application will allow the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) to issue and enforce UIC Class VI permits for geologic carbon sequestration. The EPA will remain the permitting authority for Class VI injection wells on Indian lands within the State. With this action, the EPA also intends to codify previously approved, non-substantial changes to Colorado's UIC program for Class II injection wells.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is issuing a final rule to amend our standard of identity regulations that specify salt (sodium chloride) as a required or optional ingredient to permit the use of salt substitutes in standardized foods, to reduce the sodium content. Reducing sodium may help reduce the risk of hypertension, a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The rule will help support a healthier food supply by providing flexibility to facilitate industry innovation in the production of standardized foods lower in sodium while maintaining the basic nature and essential characteristics of the foods.

NMFS proposes measures included in Framework Adjustment 7 to the Spiny Dogfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), as recommended by the Mid-Atlantic and New England Fishery Management Councils. Framework 7 proposes fishing year 2026 and projected 2027 specifications, which would establish allowable harvest levels for the spiny dogfish fishery to prevent overfishing while enabling optimum yield based on the best scientific information available. Framework 7 also proposes changes to the Atlantic spiny dogfish accountability measures intended to provide the commercial fishery with greater flexibility by no longer requiring full payback of annual catch limit (ACL) overages when the Atlantic spiny dogfish stock is considered healthy.

The intent of the gear marking requirements is to increase the likelihood of attributing entanglements to a specific fishery and gear type. The intent of the risk reduction measures is to reduce bycatch by decreasing the likelihood of marine animal entanglements with fishing line.

FMCSA announces its decision to grant a limited five-year exemption to Aurora Operations, Inc. (Aurora) and other motor carriers operating Level 4 automated driving system (ADS)-equipped commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), with prior notice to FMCSA, from compliance with the warning device placement requirements, the steady-burning lamp requirements, and the requirements for the types and number of warning devices. This exemption permits motor carriers to use cab-mounted warning beacons in lieu of traditional warning devices on Level 4 ADS- equipped CMVs. The Agency has determined that granting the exemption would likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level of safety provided by the regulation.
