The inspection rating would carry the same privileges and limitations as the inspection authorization but would not require renewal or have an expiration date, consistent with the other mechanic ratings. As a result, FAA proposes to require certificated mechanics with inspection ratings to complete rolling recent experience activities, maintained independently, to exercise the privileges of their rating, rather than the current requirements of presenting evidence of renewal activities each March of every odd- numbered year. These proposed changes are intended to align mechanic privileges, which would streamline and simplify the process for maintaining inspection privileges, increase FAA efficiency by reducing on-demand work tasks, and save critical hours for safety-focused missions. These proposed changes would be deregulatory since they would reduce the paperwork and resource burdens linked to complying with the existing regulations for both industry and FAA.","document_number":"2026-13282","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/01/2026-13282/mechanic-certification-inspection-rating-and-recent-experience-requirements","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-01/pdf/2026-13282.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13282.pdf?1782823516","publication_date":"2026-07-01","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"excerpts":"Need for the Rulemaking <span class=\"match\">Action</span> \n C.

BOEM is tasked with managing the development of U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) energy, mineral, and geological resources in an environmentally and economically responsible way. As such, BOEM is proposing to maintain certain provisions of the existing regulations and modify only those elements that, under new market conditions, merit updating. The major proposed amendments in this rule include returning to the previous BOEM practice of considering the financial strength of jointly liable predecessor lessees, revising the credit rating threshold for determining whether oil, gas, and sulfur lessees, right-of-use and easement (RUE) grant holders, and pipeline right-of-way (ROW) grant holders on the OCS are required to provide supplemental financial assurance above the required general financial assurance amount to ensure compliance with their Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) obligations, revising the decommissioning estimate used to determine the amount of supplemental financial assurance required, and revising the appeals bond provision related to the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) appeal procedures. Each of these proposed amendments will be discussed in its corresponding section of this preamble. This proposed rule, if finalized, would significantly reduce the amount of supplemental financial assurance required from oil, gas, and sulfur lessees operating on the OCS, thereby supporting the goals of E.O. 14154 Unleashing American Energy. BOEM estimates that a total of approximately $6.2 billion of financial burden to the regulated community will be reduced. This reduction of the financial burden increases the amount of capital available for oil and gas exploration and production on the OCS.","document_number":"2026-04517","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/09/2026-04517/risk-management-and-financial-assurance-for-ocs-lease-and-grant-obligations","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-09/pdf/2026-04517.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-04517.pdf?1772804709","publication_date":"2026-03-09","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Ocean Energy Management","name":"Ocean Energy Management Bureau","id":575,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/ocean-energy-management-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/575","parent_id":253,"slug":"ocean-energy-management-bureau"}],"excerpts":"within a region; \n • Creates a serious inconsistency or otherwise interferes with an <span class=\"match\">action</span> taken or planned by another agency regarding energy; or \n • Raises novel <span class=\"match\">legal</span> or policy issues adversely affecting the supply, distribution or use of energy arising out of <span class=\"match\">legal</span> mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in E.O.s 12866 and 13211. \n The proposed rule is a deregulatory <span class=\"match\">action</span> and does not directly add new regulatory <span class=\"match\">compliance</span> <span class=\"match\">requirements</span> that would lead to significant adverse effects on the nation's energy supply, distribution"},{"title":"GENIUS Act Requirements and Standards for FDIC-Supervised Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers and Insured Depository Institutions","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is soliciting comment on a proposal that would implement certain requirements pursuant to the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) applicable to FDIC-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers and insured depository institutions, clarify deposit insurance coverage for deposits held as reserve assets for payment stablecoins, and clarify the treatment of tokenized deposits.","document_number":"2026-06974","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/10/2026-06974/genius-act-requirements-and-standards-for-fdic-supervised-permitted-payment-stablecoin-issuers-and","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-04-10/pdf/2026-06974.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-06974.pdf?1775738716","publication_date":"2026-04-10","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION","name":"Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation","id":164,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-deposit-insurance-corporation","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/164","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-deposit-insurance-corporation"}],"excerpts":"jwatts@fdic.gov, \n <span class=\"match\">Legal</span> Division.\n \n \n \n \n SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: \n I.
