Instead, railroads would be able to continue or place such \"overage\" cars in service after complying with uniform safety requirements. Those requirements would include comprehensive shop inspections by a designated inspector, single-car air brake testing, recordkeeping, and, as appropriate, stenciling. The proposed requirements are consistent with the most important conditions that FRA now requires through the existing special approval process. Repealing the special approval process and replacing it with the proposed, uniform requirements would provide equivalent safety outcomes while reducing burdens on railroads and eliminating the added delay involved in petitioning FRA for a special approval.","document_number":"2025-12192","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/07/01/2025-12192/repealing-special-approval-requirement-for-freight-cars-more-than-50-years-old","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-07-01/pdf/2025-12192.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-12192.pdf?1751055328","publication_date":"2025-07-01","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 Railroad Administration","name":"Federal Railroad Administration","id":185,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-railroad-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/185","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-railroad-administration"}],"excerpts":"condition, status, and age measured from the date of original construction; and \n (ii) The design, type component, or other item that causes the car to be restricted; and \n (2) The car must undergo a <span class=\"match\">comprehensive</span> <span class=\"match\">shop</span> <span class=\"match\">inspection</span> by a <span class=\"match\">designated</span> inspector, as defined in § 215.11, at least once every 2 years.

We are proposing new requirements for Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations, state Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) programs, state Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) FFS programs, Medicaid managed care plans, CHIP managed care entities, and Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers on the Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs), including issuers that offer small group market QHPs on the Federally-facilitated Small Business Health Options Program (FF- SHOP) Exchanges (hereinafter referred to as \"small group market QHP issuers on the FF-SHOPs\") (collectively \"impacted payers\"), to make available electronic prior authorization for drugs. We are also proposing to extend many existing interoperability requirements for the prior authorization of non-drug items and services to include prior authorizations for drugs to further reduce patient and provider burden. We are also proposing to require impacted payers to report their application programming interfaces (API) endpoints and related information for the Patient Access, Provider Directory, Provider Access, Payer-to-Payer, and Prior Authorization APIs to CMS. To help assess the impact of our policies, we are proposing to collect API usage metrics. In addition, we are proposing to apply the existing interoperability requirements to small group market QHP issuers on the FF-SHOPs as impacted payers. To improve impacted payers' ability to exchange health information while continuing CMS's drive toward interoperability, we are proposing to require certain Health Level Seven (HL7[supreg]) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR[supreg]) implementation guides (IGs) that are currently recommended. In addition, HHS is proposing to adopt the HL7 FHIR base standard and certain associated specifications and IGs as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (hereinafter referred to as \"HIPAA\") (Pub. L. 104-191, enacted Aug. 21, 1996) standards for dental, professional, and institutional \"referral certification and authorization\" transactions and \"eligibility for a health plan\" transactions associated with prior authorization. We are proposing to add a definition for \"failure to report,\" which would allow CMS to impose a civil monetary penalty (CMP) on applicable manufacturers or applicable group purchasing organizations (GPOs) if those entities fail to grant CMS timely access to documents for the purposes of an audit. Finally, ONC is using this rulemaking to propose to adopt updated versions of certain health information technology (health IT) standards and specifications for HHS use, such as CMS's interoperability requirements, to support a more robust health IT infrastructure.","document_number":"2026-07205","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/14/2026-07205/medicare-and-medicaid-programs-patient-protection-and-affordable-care-act-interoperability-standards","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-04-14/pdf/2026-07205.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-07205.pdf?1775852111","publication_date":"2026-04-14","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services","name":"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services","id":45,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/centers-for-medicare-medicaid-services","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/45","parent_id":221,"slug":"centers-for-medicare-medicaid-services"},{"raw_name":"Office of the Secretary"}],"excerpts":"QHP issuers on the FFEs and small group market QHP issuers on the FF-<span class=\"match\">SHOPs</span>, and we will refer to “small group market QHP issuers on the FF-<span class=\"match\">SHOPs</span>” in proposals to apply requirements in 45 CFR 156.221, 45 CFR 156.222, and 45 CFR 156.223 that we previously finalized for individual market QHP issuers on the FFEs.

The rule also introduces a new risk-informed framework for low-level waste disposal in which sites can develop waste acceptance criteria based on site-specific characteristics rather than using prescriptive limits. The proposed rule would allow for a graded approach: facilities that do not plan to accept significant quantities of long-lived radionuclides or Greater-Than-Class C waste will only need to meet a streamlined set of requirements, while those managing these waste streams must conduct technical assessments to ensure long- term safety. The proposed rule would also introduce new options for disposal of higher concentrations of waste, providing new alternatives for safe low-level waste management. These innovations support public health and environmental protection, as well as safe disposal of low- level radioactive waste, encourage operational efficiency, and offer greater flexibility for both current and future disposal facilities.
