These transitions are part of an ongoing global effort by market participants, benchmark administrators, regulators, and others to shift away from reliance on certain interbank offered rates (IBORs) that are, or are expected to become, unavailable as benchmark reference rates, and increase adoption of alternative reference rates, which are predominantly overnight, nearly risk-free reference rates (RFRs). The proposed amendments would revise the set of interest rate swaps that are required to be submitted for clearing, pursuant to the CEA and the Commission's regulations, to a derivatives clearing organization (DCO) that is registered under the CEA (registered DCO) or a DCO that has been exempted from such registration (exempt DCO). Among other things, the proposed amendments would modify the Commission's interest rate swap clearing requirement to reflect the market transitions from CAD CDOR to CAD CORRA and from MXN TIIE to MXN F-TIIE.","document_number":"2026-09428","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/12/2026-09428/clearing-requirement-determination-under-section-2h-of-the-commodity-exchange-act-for-interest-rate","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-12/pdf/2026-09428.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-09428.pdf?1778503542","publication_date":"2026-05-12","agencies":[{"raw_name":"COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION","name":"Commodity Futures Trading Commission","id":77,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commodity-futures-trading-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/77","parent_id":null,"slug":"commodity-futures-trading-commission"}],"excerpts":"until December 31, 2025, provided such swaps did not mature after that date.\n 49 \n \n These <span class=\"match\">transitions</span>, which are the subject of this proposed rulemaking, are discussed in greater detail below.\n \n \n \n 48 \n  \n See \n Canadian Alternative Reference Rate Working Group, CDOR <span class=\"match\">Transition</span> FAQs, July 10, 2024, available at \n https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/cdor-<span class=\"match\">transition</span>-faqs.pdf \n (CDOR <span class=\"match\">Transition</span> FAQs).\n \n \n \n \n 49 \n  Banco de México, “<span class=\"match\">Transition</span> from TIIE with tenors greater than one business day (28, 91 and 182 days) to the Overnight"},{"title":"Medicare Program; Transitional Coverage for Emerging Technologies","type":"Notice","abstract":"This final notice finalizes the process and procedures for the Transitional Coverage for Emerging Technologies (TCET) pathway and provides our responses to the public comments received.","document_number":"2024-17603","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/08/12/2024-17603/medicare-program-transitional-coverage-for-emerging-technologies","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-08-12/pdf/2024-17603.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-17603.pdf?1723061718","publication_date":"2024-08-12","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"}],"excerpts":"1136/bmjmed-2022-000395.\n \n \n C.

This action would be in furtherance of Congress' direction in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB Act) to \"complet[e] a system of competitive bidding not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act for not less than 100 megahertz in the band between 3.98 gigahertz and 4.2 gigahertz.\" The NPRM seeks comment on options for reconfiguring the Upper C-band in the contiguous United States ranging from 180 megahertz (3.98-4.16 GHz) to the congressionally mandated minimum of 100 megahertz (3.98-4.08 GHz) for terrestrial wireless use. The NPRM seeks comment on how much Upper C- band spectrum--beyond the minimum 100 megahertz required by the OBBB Act--could be repurposed by incumbent fixed satellite service (FSS) space station operators and on how the transition could be effectuated if their existing customers relocate out of the C-band. Under any of the reconfiguration options under consideration, the NPRM's baseline proposition is to apply the existing 3.7 GHz Service rules (applicable in the Lower C-band from 3.7-3.98 GHz) to any newly authorized terrestrial wireless operations. Any other rules and requirements, including those relating to the transition process, would be modeled to the greatest extent possible on those that applied to the Lower C-band transition. The NPRM also seeks comment on a range of issues associated with repurposing some portion of the Upper C-band, including: reallocation of the 4.0-4.2 GHz band; competitive bidding procedures for an eventual auction; licensing, operating, and technical rules for any new wireless services; (4) transitioning incumbent FSS operations; and promoting co-existence with adjacent band radio altimeters.","document_number":"2025-22020","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22020/in-the-matter-of-upper-c-band-398-42-ghz","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-05/pdf/2025-22020.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22020.pdf?1764855918","publication_date":"2025-12-05","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":"incumbent operations to <span class=\"match\">transition</span> out of the Lower C-band given that new <span class=\"match\">flexible</span>-use licensees could not commence operations until the necessary band clearing had been completed.
