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.

RuleInterior DepartmentIndian Affairs Bureau

Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustments; Annual Adjustments

This rule provides for annual adjustments to the level of civil monetary penalties contained in Bureau of Indian Affairs (Bureau) regulations to account for inflation under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance.

RuleCommerce DepartmentNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fisheries; Closure of the General Category October Through November Fishery for 2026

NMFS closes the General category fishery for Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) for the remainder of the October through November time period. The General category may only retain, possess, or land large medium and giant (i.e., measuring 73 inches (185 centimeters (cm) curved fork length (CFL) or greater) BFT when the fishery is open. This action also waives the previously scheduled restricted-fishing days (RFDs) for the remainder of the October through November time period. With the RFDs waived during the closure, fishermen aboard General category permitted vessels and HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessels may tag and release BFT of all sizes, subject to the requirements of the catch-and-release and tag-and-release programs. On December 1, 2026, the fishery will reopen automatically.

Proposed RuleAgriculture DepartmentAnimal and Plant Health Inspection Service

Minimum Maturation Temperature for Beef and Ovine Meat From Regions Affected With Foot-and-Mouth Disease

We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding the minimum maturation temperature for fresh (chilled or frozen) boneless beef and ovine meat from certain listed regions or countries affected with foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) from 4 [deg]C to 2 [deg]C. All other existing mitigations for the importation of beef from regions or countries affected with FMD would remain unchanged. This action is needed to align the regulations with the World Organization for Animal Health's standards for FMD minimum maturation temperatures, while continuing to protect the United States against the introduction of FMD.
