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

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.

Based on that evidence, the Department has tentatively concluded that subminimum wages are no longer necessary to prevent the curtailment of employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and thus proposes to phase out the issuance of section 14(c) certificates.","document_number":"2024-27880","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/04/2024-27880/employment-of-workers-with-disabilities-under-section-14c-of-the-fair-labor-standards-act","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-04/pdf/2024-27880.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-27880.pdf?1733233519","publication_date":"2024-12-04","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Wage and Hour Division","name":"Wage and Hour Division","id":524,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/wage-and-hour-division","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/524","parent_id":271,"slug":"wage-and-hour-division"}],"excerpts":"section 14(c) <span class=\"match\">certificates</span>; over 97 percent of <span class=\"match\">certificate</span> applications received annually seek renewal of an existing section 14(c) <span class=\"match\">certificate</span>.\n 72 \n \n \n \n \n 68 \n  U.S. Gov't Accountability Off., GAO-01-886, “Special Minimum Wage Program: Centers Offer Employment and Support Services to Workers With Disabilities, But Labor Should Improve <span class=\"match\">Oversight</span>” 10, 18 (2001) (2001 GAO Report).\n \n \n \n \n 69 \n  \n See \n U.S. Dep't of Labor, “14(c) Archive,” June 2024, \n https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/workers-with-disabilities/section-14c/<span class=\"match\">certificate</span>-holders/archive"},{"title":"In the Matter of Upper C-band (3.98-4.2 GHz)","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks comment on proposed rule changes that would expand the ecosystem for next generation wireless services in the 3.7-4.2 GHz band (C-band) by making as much as 180, and at least 100, megahertz of the 3.98-4.2 GHz band (Upper C-band) available for terrestrial wireless flexible use via a system of competitive bidding. 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":"small firms \n % Small firms \n \n \n Wireless <span class=\"match\">Telecommunications</span> Carriers (except Satellite) \n 517112 \n 1,500 employees \n 1,184 \n 1,081 \n 91.30 \n \n \n Satellite <span class=\"match\">Telecommunications</span> \n 517410 \n $44 million \n 332 \n 195 \n 58.73 \n \n \n \n   \n \n \n 2024 Universal Service Monitoring Report <span class=\"match\">Telecommunications</span> Service Provider Data\n (Data as of December 2023) \n \n Affected entity \n \n SBA size standard\n (1,500 Employees) \n \n \n Total # FCC Form 499A\n filers \n \n Small firms \n Small entities \n \n \n Wireless <span class=\"match\">Telecommunications</span> Carriers (except Satellite) \n 585 \n 498 \n 85"}]}
