Specifically, the January 2025 interim rule established guidelines for the implementation, reporting, verification, and quantification of carbon intensity (CI) of certain agricultural commodities at the field-scale. This final rule makes revisions to the January 2025 interim rule that were requested by commenters or that are otherwise necessary because of intervening Executive action. The revised guidelines articulate an approach for farm producers to quantify the change in net emissions associated with crops produced using one or more authorized practices. The revised guidelines also articulate a framework for how information regarding emissions, resulting from the production of biofuel feedstock commodity crops, could be reported and tracked throughout the supply chain.","document_number":"2026-13092","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/06/29/2026-13092/technical-guidelines-for-the-production-of-regenerative-agricultural-biofuel-feedstocks","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-29/pdf/2026-13092.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13092.pdf?1782477921","publication_date":"2026-06-29","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of Energy and Environmental Policy","name":"Energy and Environmental Policy Office","id":620,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-and-environmental-policy-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/620","parent_id":12,"slug":"energy-and-environmental-policy-office"}],"excerpts":"recordkeeping is in accordance with the standards in subparts F and G of this part; \n (ii) The third-party <span class=\"match\">verifier</span> must <span class=\"match\">verify</span> that the field-level CI for each crop is calculated correctly in accordance with subpart C of this part; and \n (iii) The third-party <span class=\"match\">verifier</span> must <span class=\"match\">verify</span> that the actual yield is accurate and accounted for correctly in accordance with §§ 2100.020(a)(4) and 2100.031; and \n (iv) The third-party <span class=\"match\">verifier</span> must <span class=\"match\">verify</span> that the expected yield is accurate in accordance with § 2100.020(a)(5); and \n (v) Records from relevant sub-contractors"},{"title":"Imposition of Special Measure Regarding Huione Group, as a Foreign Financial Institution of Primary Money Laundering Concern","type":"Rule","abstract":"FinCEN is issuing this final rule to prohibit covered U.S. financial institutions from opening or maintaining a correspondent account for, or on behalf of Huione Group, a foreign financial institution based in Cambodia found to be of primary money laundering concern pursuant to section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

Specifically, the Commission proposes establishing baseline KYUP information-collection, compliance review, verification, monitoring, and responsive-action requirements to ensure providers can identify and cut off bad-actor upstream providers. The Commission also proposes measures to expand the Governance Authority's vetting, enforcement, and reporting responsibilities to prevent misuse of STIR/SHAKEN certificates and to remove noncompliant providers from the authentication ecosystem. The Commission further proposes clarifying and strengthening STIR/SHAKEN attestation rules, including codifying attestation levels, defining improper attestations, and specifying permissible mechanisms for verifying number-to-customer associations. Additionally, the Commission proposes and seeks comment on additional steps to close caller ID authentication gaps, such as refining provider definitions, reconsidering exemptions, requiring providers serving end users to assign STIR/SHAKEN attestations, and ensuring calls maintain authentication information.
