Executive actionSigned · Regulatory rule

The Commerce Dept. issued a technical correction to fix a clerical error in its rules about employee testimony and document production in legal proceedings. No policy changes were made.

The Commerce Department issued a correcting amendment to fix a clerical error in its regulations governing when its employees can testify and when its documents can be produced in legal proceedings. A previous final rule had mistakenly indicated that certain text was being amended when, in fact, no actual changes were made to those portions. This action simply corrects that inaccurate instruction and makes no new policy or substantive changes.

Streamlining the Regulations Governing Testimony by Employees and the Production of Documents in Legal Proceedings; Correction

Regulatory rule · Signed

Commerce Department

Effective Oct 26, 2026

This regulatory action is a technical correction only. The Commerce Department previously issued a final rule that streamlined its regulations on employee testimony and document production in legal proceedings, removing redundant language and unnecessary references. However, one of the amendatory instructions in that prior rule incorrectly stated that certain introductory text and a subparagraph were being amended, when in reality those portions were left unchanged. This…

New proposed rules would require US investors to report or ban certain investments in foreign companies working on sensitive technologies deemed national security risks.

The Treasury Department has proposed regulations to implement the Outbound Investment Security Program, which targets US investments in foreign entities involved in sensitive technologies. The rules would require Americans to notify Treasury before completing certain transactions with foreign persons in 'notifiable' technology sectors, and would outright prohibit transactions involving 'prohibited' technologies. This effort is grounded in the Defense Production Act and is…

NHTSA proposes updating federal vehicle lighting rules to reduce unnecessary requirements and allow self-driving cars without manual controls to skip certain turn signal and beam-switching equipment.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is proposing changes to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, which governs vehicle lighting equipment including headlamps and signal lights. The proposed rule would remove outdated technical requirements, give manufacturers more design flexibility, and adjust rules for vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems that have no human driver controls. It would also allow optional cyan-colored marker lamps on…

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Modernization of FMVSS No. 108 To Accommodate ADS-Equipped Vehicles

Proposed rule · Signed

Transportation Department

This proposed rule from NHTSA targets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, the federal regulation governing lamps, reflective devices, and related vehicle equipment. Two initial changes are technical in nature: adjusting the test voltage specification for integral beam headlamps and eliminating requirements specific to vertical headlamp arrangements, which are considered outdated or redundant with current safety performance. The more significant proposed changes…

The NRC is updating rules to let commercial nuclear reactor applicants build on prior Energy or War Dept. approvals of reactor designs, speeding up the licensing process.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is changing its regulations to allow companies applying for commercial nuclear reactor licenses to use prior approvals granted by the U.S. Department of Energy or the historic Department of War as part of their safety demonstrations. This is intended to reduce duplicative review work and make the licensing process more efficient. The rule aims to support the broader deployment of civilian nuclear energy by creating a clearer regulatory…

NRC Reviews of Reactor Designs Previously Authorized by U.S. Department of Energy or Department of War

Regulatory rule · Signed

Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Effective Nov 25, 2026

This rulemaking by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission establishes a new, explicit regulatory pathway for commercial nuclear reactor applicants whose designs were previously authorized by the U.S. Department of Energy or the Department of War. Rather than requiring a completely fresh safety review, applicants can now formally leverage those prior federal authorizations as part of demonstrating that their reactor designs meet NRC safety requirements. This is described in the…

Ohio Regulatory Program

Regulatory rule · Signed

Interior Department

Effective Nov 25, 2026

This regulatory action involves OSM formally approving changes that Ohio proposed to its state-administered surface coal mining and reclamation program. Under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), states can operate their own regulatory programs in place of the federal program, provided their rules are at least as effective as federal standards. Ohio holds such an approved state program, and when it proposes changes, OSM must review and approve them…
