Mindful that the Supreme Court recently clarified NEPA is a \"purely procedural statute,\" DOE will henceforth maintain the remainder of its procedures in a procedural guidance document separate from the Code of Federal Regulations (DOE NEPA implementing procedures). Thus, DOE is revising 10 CFR part 1021 to contain only administrative and routine actions excepted from NEPA review in appendix A, its existing categorical exclusions in appendix B, related requirements, and a provision for emergency circumstances. DOE is revising appendix A in 10 CFR part 1021 to align with DOE's new NEPA implementing procedures that it is publishing separate from the Code of Federal Regulations. Appendix A in 10 CFR part 1021 (formerly categorical exclusions) are now administrative and routine actions that do not require NEPA review. DOE is also revising 10 CFR part 205, subpart W, to remove the NEPA procedures from its Presidential permit regulations.","document_number":"2025-12383","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/07/03/2025-12383/revision-of-national-environmental-policy-act-implementing-procedures","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-07-03/pdf/2025-12383.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-12383.pdf?1751394611","publication_date":"2025-07-03","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"}],"excerpts":" afforded by using non-codified <span class=\"match\">procedures</span>, outweighs the appeal of codifying its regulations going forward.

In this rulemaking, the Department proposes to clarify how to determine joint employer status under the FLSA in Part 791 of Title 29, where its joint employer regulations were located prior to 2021. Additionally, the Department is also proposing to amend provisions in its regulations implementing the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) to provide that joint employer status under those laws be determined using the Department's FLSA analysis, as the FMLA and MSPA both incorporate the FLSA's employment definitions. This rulemaking is intended to provide clarity and a measure of uniformity for employers and employees in an area of the law where components of legislative, executive, and judicial branches--at both the federal and state levels--have presented widely varying tests and standards. In addition, the proposed rule offers a nationwide standard for use by the Department's investigators and law enforcement personnel that would not only ensure the evenhanded application of the Act in matters that often cross state and circuit lines but also preserve core consistency with the wide variety of potentially relevant judicial frameworks. The proposed rule intends to marshal the commonality between those approaches closest to the statute as construed by the courts and, in so doing, simplify the Department's enforcement of the law, reduce litigation, and provide a reliable and uniform analysis for workers and employers that ultimately applies and complements the core commonality between the various tests applied by the federal courts.","document_number":"2026-07959","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/23/2026-07959/joint-employer-status-under-the-fair-labor-standards-act-family-and-medical-leave-act-and-migrant","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-04-23/pdf/2026-07959.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-07959.pdf?1776861922","publication_date":"2026-04-23","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":"joint employers <span class=\"match\">under</span> the FLSA;\n \n • a provision at § 791.115 providing the standard for determining vertical joint employment <span class=\"match\">under</span> the FLSA; \n • a provision at § 791.120 providing the standard for determining horizontal joint employment <span class=\"match\">under</span> the FLSA; \n • a provision at § 791.125 addressing the relevance of certain business practices when determining joint employment <span class=\"match\">under</span> the FLSA; and \n • a severability provision at § 791.130. \n Additionally, the Department proposes to revise the regulations addressing joint employer status <span class=\"match\">under</span> MSPA and the"},{"title":"Trade Regulation Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees","type":"Rule","abstract":"The Federal Trade Commission (\"FTC\" or \"Commission\") is issuing a final trade regulation rule entitled \"Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees\" (\"rule\" or \"final rule\") and Statement of Basis and Purpose addressing certain unfair or deceptive practices involving fees or charges for live-event tickets and short-term lodging: bait- and-switch pricing that hides the total price by omitting mandatory fees and charges from advertised prices; and misrepresenting the nature, purpose, amount, and refundability of fees or charges.

The Executive order, therefore, provides that contractors and subcontractors performing on covered Federal service contracts must in good faith offer service employees employed under the predecessor contract a right of first refusal of employment. The Executive order directs the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to issue regulations, consistent with applicable law, to implement the order's requirements.

This final rule incorporates the BSCA's definitions of \"predominantly earn a profit\" (\"PEP\") and \"terrorism,\" and amends the regulatory definitions of \"principal objective of livelihood and profit\" and \"engaged in the business\" to ensure each conforms with the BSCA's statutory changes and can be relied upon by the public. The rule also clarifies what it means for a person to be \"engaged in the business\" of dealing in firearms and to have the intent to \"predominantly earn a profit\" from the sale or disposition of firearms. In addition, it clarifies the term \"dealer\" and defines the term \"responsible person.\" These clarifications and definitions assist persons in understanding when they are required to have a license to deal in firearms. Consistent with the Gun Control Act (\"GCA\") and existing regulations, the rule also defines the term \"personal collection\" to clarify when persons are not \"engaged in the business\" because they make only occasional sales to enhance a personal collection or for a hobby, or if the firearms they sell are all or part of a personal collection. This rule further addresses the procedures that former licensees, and responsible persons acting on behalf of such licensees, must follow when they liquidate business inventory upon revocation or other termination of their license. Finally, the rule clarifies that a licensee transferring a firearm to another licensee must do so by following the verification and recordkeeping procedures in the regulations, rather than by using a Firearms Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473.","document_number":"2024-07838","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/04/19/2024-07838/definition-of-engaged-in-the-business-as-a-dealer-in-firearms","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-04-19/pdf/2024-07838.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-07838.pdf?1713444333","publication_date":"2024-04-19","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives","name":"Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Bureau","id":19,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/19","parent_id":268,"slug":"alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives-bureau"}],"excerpts":"recognized a privacy interest in avoiding disclosure of certain personal matters <span class=\"match\">under</span> the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. \n See Doe No. 1 \n v. \n Putnam County, \n 344 F.
