The rule that produced this list

Stated so you can disagree with it rather than with us: a document appears here if it is a Presidential Document, or the issuing agency flagged it significant under E.O. 12866, or it is a rule or proposed rule that carries a comment deadline or an effective date.

Nothing is filtered out of the full list below — this is an ordering, not a filter.

Proposed RuleEnvironmental Protection Agency

Indiana: Approval of State Coal Combustion Residuals Permit Program

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is proposing to approve Indiana's Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) partial permit program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). After reviewing the CCR permit program application submitted by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), EPA has preliminarily determined that Indiana's CCR permit program meets the standard for partial approval under RCRA. If approved, Indiana's CCR permit program will operate in lieu of the Federal CCR program, with the exception of the specific provisions noted below. EPA is seeking comment on this proposal during a 60-day public comment period and will hold a hybrid in-person and online public hearing on EPA's preliminary approval of Indiana's partial CCR permit program.

RuleCommodity Futures Trading Commission

Whistleblower Award Determination

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission" or "CFTC") is amending its rules implementing section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). Section 23 of the CEA and the Commission's implementing regulations provide for the payment of awards, subject to certain limitations and conditions, to whistleblowers who provide the Commission with information that aids in successful enforcement efforts. The Commission is adopting amendments, which are modeled on a similar provision in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") regulations, to part 165 of its regulations to increase the efficiency, transparency, and predictability of whistleblower claims process, thereby protecting and enhancing the program's effectiveness in incentivizing whistleblowers to report. The amendments also include technical corrections to the whistleblower rules to reflect the Whistleblower Office's ("WBO") move in 2025, consistent with its adjudicatory functions, to the Office of the General Counsel ("OGC").

Proposed RuleTransportation DepartmentFederal Aviation Administration

Airworthiness Directives; De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Model DHC-8-401 and DHC-8-402 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that instructions for fay, fillet, and rivet dome sealing were omitted for a bracket installed on the inboard surface of the tank rib, which could allow fuel to leak from the wing fuel tank into the wing dry bay. This proposed AD would require a detailed visual inspection of the affected bracket assembly for signs of fuel leakage and for the presence of fillet seal and fastener dome seal, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Registration of Lawful Permanent Residence for Children Born to Foreign Government Employees in the United States; Correction

This document corrects the interim final rule (IFR) that published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2026. The IFR amends its regulations to permit children born in the United States to "foreign government employees" who are not U.S. citizens to register for permanent residence. DHS also made corresponding changes to Form I- 485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status and Form G-325R, Biographic Information (Registration). This document will restore regulatory language that was unintentionally removed in the September 9, 2026 IFR, with certain conforming edits.
