OMB is proposing revisions that would improve transparency, accountability, and oversight for Federal awards across the Federal Government. This includes ensuring that American tax dollars are not wasted or misused, activities performed under Federal awards are consistent with law and policy, and recipients are held accountable when they fail to meet relevant standards. The revisions also aim to ensure that basic American principles of equality and equal opportunity are upheld throughout all stages of the award making process and that unlawful discrimination is no longer permitted. Proposed changes also include providing further clarification on the regulatory status of the OMB requirements and on the process for future updates to the government- wide requirements. Finally, OMB also proposes changes to reduce recipient burden. The listed Federal grant-making agencies propose conforming changes to their respective adopting regulations, or, in the case of some agencies and other entities, establishing new adopting regulations or policies. The proposed changes reflect the administration's commitment to transparency, accountability, and proper oversight for the Federal grantmaking process. The proposed regulations seek to ensure that American tax dollars are ultimately used to serve the needs of the American public.","document_number":"2026-10817","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/29/2026-10817/regulation-for-federal-financial-assistance","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-29/pdf/2026-10817.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf?1779984020","publication_date":"2026-05-29","agencies":[{"raw_name":"OFFICE

Section 40002 of that law re-institutes the Federal Communications Commission's general auction authority and specifically directs the Commission to complete a system of competitive bidding for not less than 100 megahertz in the 3.98-4.2 gigahertz band (Upper C- band). To ensure safe, efficient, and reliable aviation operations in the presence of wireless signals in the Upper C-band, the Federal Aviation Administration is proposing new regulations that would require all radio altimeters to meet specific minimum performance requirements. These new radio altimeters must withstand interference from wireless signals in neighboring spectrum bands and continue to provide accurate altitude readings to both pilots and integrated aircraft safety systems. The minimum interference tolerance requirements proposed in this rule reflect the best achievable interference rejection using current technology without compromising radio altimeter system performance. These regulations would require all aircraft equipped with radio altimeters operating under part 121 and those aircraft with radio altimeters operating under part 129 with 30 or more passenger seats or a payload capacity of more than 7,500 pounds to comply with the minimum performance requirements by the date the Federal Communications Commission authorizes wireless services in the Upper C-band. All other aircraft equipped with radio altimeters would be required to comply with the same minimum performance requirements two years later. This proposed rule is a companion to the Federal Communications Commission's NPRM to expand the ecosystem for next-generation wireless services in the 3.7-4.2 gigahertz band by making as much as 180, and at least 100, megahertz of the Upper C-band available for terrestrial wireless flexible use via a system of competitive bidding.","document_number":"2026-00051","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/01/07/2026-00051/requirements-for-interference-tolerant-radio-altimeter-systems","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-01-07/pdf/2026-00051.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-00051.pdf?1767647706","publication_date":"2026-01-07","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":"the average remaining service life for current fleet aircraft.\n \n \n II. <span class=\"match\">Authority</span> for This Rulemaking \n FAA's <span class=\"match\">authority</span> to issue rules on aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code.

These proposed revisions address Presidential directives in Executive Order (E.O.) 14300, \"Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,\" E.O. 14154, \"Unleashing American Energy,\" Executive Order 14192, \"Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation,\" Executive Order 14270, \"Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy;\" recent amendments to NEPA; and relevant NEPA case law. In addition, these proposed revisions aim to reduce regulatory burden while complying with NEPA requirements.

That recalibration includes proposing to amend DOT's fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles for model years (MYs) 2022- 2026 and MYs 2027-2031. Consistent with statutory requirements, the fuel economy standards proposed in this rule are founded on light-duty vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel fuels, a category that includes non-plug-in hybrid vehicles. In formulating the proposed standards, NHTSA has not considered, consistent with law, the imputed fuel-economy performance of battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) or the electric operation of vehicles that use plug-in hybrid electric powertrains, nor compliance credits or adjustments to the two-cycle fuel economy test procedures to account for air conditioning and off-cycle technologies. NHTSA also is proposing to eliminate the inter-manufacturer credit trading system and to amend the light-duty vehicle fleet classification system to allocate vehicles into passenger and non-passenger automobile fleets appropriately, based on their attributes and capabilities, starting in MY 2028. Elimination of unlawful considerations, combined with several of the proposed changes, would significantly improve the capabilities of manufacturers to meet fuel economy standards, better align the program with Congressional intent, and reduce manufacturer incentives to design vehicles and add features that are not desired by American consumers and that have questionable real-world fuel economy benefits. NHTSA is therefore proposing to set fuel economy standards that increase from newly proposed MY 2022 standards at a rate of 0.5 percent per year through MY 2026, followed by 0.25 percent per year through MY 2031, with MY 2027 stringency established as a bridge between the two sets of standards. The reduced stringency increases in later years, coupled with a reevaluation of the coefficients that define the functions governing fuel economy standards, are intended to establish maximum feasible standards in a manner that gains real-world fuel-economy-benefits, while enabling the industry to adapt to the proposed substantial recalibration of the CAFE program. NHTSA projects that the amended standards would correspond to the industry fleetwide average for all light-duty vehicles of roughly 34.5 miles per gallon (mpg) in MY 2031.","document_number":"2025-22014","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22014/the-safer-affordable-fuel-efficient-safe-vehicles-rule-iii-for-model-years-2022-to-2031-passenger","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-05/pdf/2025-22014.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22014.pdf?1764855918","publication_date":"2025-12-05","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":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","id":345,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-highway-traffic-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/345","parent_id":492,"slug":"national-highway-traffic-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":"https://www.bts.gov/content/new-and-used-passenger-car-sales-and-leases-thousands-vehicles \n (accessed: Sept. 10, 2025).\n \n \n NHTSA uses real <span class=\"match\">dollars</span> for future costs and benefits, such as technology costs in future model years.

Potential amendments to the Tier 4 standards and other program elements will be proposed separately in a future Part 2 rulemaking.","document_number":"2026-09905","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/18/2026-09905/revision-of-tier-4-criteria-pollutant-standards-part-1-amendments-to-phase-in-schedule-for","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-18/pdf/2026-09905.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-09905.pdf?1778849124","publication_date":"2026-05-18","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"excerpts":"Tribal Governments \n H.
