SUMMARY:Comments close: Removing Deference to Prior USCIS Determinations o
 f Eligibility
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)\, U.S. Citizens
 hip and Immigration Services (USCIS)\, proposes to remove 8 CFR 214.1(c)(
 5)\, which generally provides that USCIS gives deference to a prior appro
 val involving the same facts when adjudicating a request to extend a peti
 tion for an alien's employment or stay. This change would better align DH
 S regulations with the statute\, which places the burden of proving eligi
 bility for all immigration benefits on the petitioner\, applicant\, or be
 neficiary; strengthen adjudicatory review; and support agency priorities 
 to improve the integrity of the immigration system and better protect the
  interests of U.S. workers.\nComment: http://www.regulations.gov/commento

SUMMARY:Takes effect: Partial Repeal of the Carbon Pollution Standards for
  Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units
DESCRIPTION: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 gener
 ating units (EGUs) based on a reevaluation of the best system of emission
  reduction for the relevant subcategories. Specifically\, the EPA is repe
 aling the emission guidelines for existing fossil fuel-fired steam genera
 ting units\, the carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)-based sta
 ndards for coal-fired steam generating units undertaking a large modifica
 tion\, and the CCS-based standards for new base load stationary combustio
 n turbines (i.e.\, Phase 2 standards). In a separate action published con
 currently with this final rule\, the EPA is issuing a supplemental propos
 al soliciting comment on additional reasons to rescind all GHG emission r
 equirements for fossil fuel-fired EGUs to effectuate the best reading of 
 Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111 and ensure consistency with applicable pr
 inciples of administrative law beyond those reasons on which the EPA soli
 cited comment in the June 2025 notice of proposed rulemaking.\nRecord: ht

SUMMARY:Comments close: Cooperative Research and Development Agreement: Su
 per Intelligence (SI) Situational Awareness Tools for Analyzing Coast Gua
 rd (CG) Sensor Feeds for Search and Rescue (SAR)
DESCRIPTION:The Coast Guard announces its intent to enter a Cooperative Re
 search and Development Agreement (CRADA) with LOOKOUT to assess Super Int
 elligence for automated target detection and establish a reliable coverag
 e-factor value supporting data-driven Lateral Range Curve (LRC) results f
 or Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. Proposed tools must be high techno
 logy-readiness-level\, commercially available\, self- contained\, portabl
 e\, capable of edge computing\, and compatible with video-feed-agnostic s
 ensors. While considering LOOKOUT\, the Coast Guard seeks public comment 
 on the proposed CRADA and potential participation by other parties. Inter

SUMMARY:Comments close: Outbound Investment Security Program Regulations
DESCRIPTION:This proposed rule sets forth regulations that would implement
  Subtitle C of the Comprehensive Outbound Investment National Security Ac
 t\, which is codified at Title VIII of the Defense Production Act. The pr
 oposed rule would require United States persons to provide notification t
 o the U.S. Department of the Treasury regarding certain transactions invo
 lving foreign persons that are engaged in notifiable technologies; and pr
 ohibit United States persons from engaging in certain other transactions 
 involving foreign persons that are engaged in prohibited technologies. Wh
 ere consistent with Title VIII\, the proposed rule incorporates certain d
 efinitions and concepts from the current regulations governing the Outbou
 nd Investment Security Program. The proposed rule also would add applicab
 ility dates to the regulations\, such that those regulations would contin
 ue to apply to activities that occurred within the relevant timeframe.\nC
