The WFTCA made numerous changes to the HEA, including changes to student eligibility requirements for the Pell Grant Program and the establishment of Workforce Pell Grants for students who enroll in a new type of eligible program called an \"eligible workforce program,\" intended to be a high-quality, performance-based, short-term program that supports America's workforce needs.","document_number":"2026-10013","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/19/2026-10013/accountability-in-higher-education-and-access-through-demand-driven-workforce-pell-pell-grant","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-19/pdf/2026-10013.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10013.pdf?1779108315","publication_date":"2026-05-19","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION","name":"Education Department","id":126,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/education-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/126","parent_id":null,"slug":"education-department"}],"excerpts":"Pell Grant expenditures, particularly during a time when the Pell Grant program is projected to face funding shortfalls.

In 2016, EOIR issued a final rule amending the regulations governing the requirements and procedures for the recognition of organizations and the accreditation of those organizations' representatives to represent persons in proceedings before EOIR and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Those regulatory amendments transferred the administration of the Recognition and Accreditation (R&A) Program within EOIR from the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) to the Office of Legal Access Programs (OLAP). In 2019, the R&A Program was transferred by regulation to the Office of Policy (OP), the part of EOIR that oversees OLAP. EOIR proposes to modify JUSTICE/BIA-002 and to change the system number to JUSTICE/EOIR-004 to reflect the transfer of the R&A Program to OP. The last publication of the complete system of records notice was in 1980, prior to the issuance of OMB A-108. As such, EOIR is re-publishing the System of Records Notice for this system, in full. Additionally, the agency's Access EOIR initiative gave rise to the modernization of the Recognition and Accreditation Program application process through the development of the Recognition and Accreditation Access (RAA) system allowing prospective applicants to apply online for recognition or accreditation and online account management of an approved organization. Modified JUSTICE/EOIR-004 captures this modernization effort.","document_number":"2025-05846","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/17/2025-05846/privacy-act-of-1974-systems-of-records","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-04-17/pdf/2025-05846.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-05846.pdf?1744810150","publication_date":"2025-04-17","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"}],"excerpts":"modified system of records. \n \n Dated: March 31, 2025. \n Peter Winn, \n Acting Chief Privacy and Civil Liberties Officer, United States Department of Justice. \n \n \n JUSTICE/EOIR-004 \n SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: \n Recognition and Accreditation Program Records, JUSTICE/EOIR-004. \n SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: \n Unclassified. \n SYSTEM LOCATION: \n Executive Office for Immigration Review, Department of Justice, 5107 Leesburg Pike, Suite 2500, Falls Church, VA 22041. \n SYSTEM MANAGER(S): \n EOIR Chief Information Officer, Office of Information Technology, 5107"},{"title":"Appellate Procedures for the Board of Immigration Appeals","type":"Rule","abstract":"This interim final rule (\"IFR\") amends Department of Justice (\"Department\" or \"DOJ\") regulations to streamline administrative appellate review by the Board of Immigration Appeals (\"Board\" or \"BIA\") of decisions by Immigration Judges by making review of such decisions on the merits discretionary, by setting appropriate times for briefing in cases that are reviewed on the merits, and by streamlining other aspects of the appellate process to ensure timely adjudications and avoid adding to the already sizeable backlog at the Board.

The FNPRM proposes a regulatory framework that would grant a blanket license to entities that own or operate Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTEs), subject to certain exclusions and routine conditions, such as a tailored foreign adversary annual report. The FNPRM proposes new certifications and routine conditions related to foreign adversaries to further protect submarine cables from national security risks. The FNPRM also proposes an approach to expedite deployment of submarine cables that connect to the United States by presumptively excluding submarine cable applications from referral to the relevant Executive Branch agencies if they meet certain standards. The FNPRM seeks comment on requiring existing licensees to remove from their submarine cable system covered equipment or services, within a specified timeframe prior to the expiration of the license. The FNPRM also seeks comment on how the Commission can use its authority to incentivize and encourage the adoption and the use of trusted technologies produced and provided by the United States and its foreign allies.","document_number":"2025-19657","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/10/27/2025-19657/review-of-submarine-cable-landing-license-rules-and-procedures-to-assess-evolving-national-security","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-10-27/pdf/2025-19657.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-19657.pdf?1761309905","publication_date":"2025-10-27","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"are granted after the effective date of any new applicable rules we adopt in this proceeding?

Requiring reporting of animal waste air emissions may advance the community right-to-know aspect of EPCRA by providing the public with information that may impact their health and the environment.
