Environment
Regulations related to environmental protection, clean air, clean water, and climate policy.
2073 regulationsPesticide Tolerance; Exemptions, Petitions, Revocations, etc.: Imidacloprid
The EPA is reviewing pesticide tolerance rules for imidacloprid, a widely-used insecticide found in many agricultural and household pest control products. This regulation determines how much imidacloprid residue is allowed on food crops and may change current safety limits based on new scientific evidence.
Pesticide Tolerance; Exemptions, Petitions, Revocations, etc.: Diphenylamine, et al.
The EPA is reviewing pesticide rules related to diphenylamine, a chemical used to protect fruits and vegetables during storage and shipping. The agency is considering whether to change, keep, or remove safety limits on how much of this chemical can remain on food.
Pesticide Tolerance; Exemptions, Petitions, Revocations, etc.: Inpyrfluxam
The EPA is proposing new rules about how much of the pesticide inpyrfluxam can remain on food crops and in the environment. This regulation determines whether this pesticide is safe enough to use on American farms and what limits should be placed on it.
Regulatory Program: West Virginia
This regulation from the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) establishes rules for how coal mining and related surface disturbance activities are regulated in West Virginia. The rules set environmental standards and oversight procedures to minimize damage to the land, water, and community resources affected by mining operations.
Pesticide Tolerance; Exemptions, Petitions, Revocations, etc.: Terbacil, et al.
The EPA is reviewing pesticide safety limits for terbacil and related chemicals used in agriculture. The agency is asking for public feedback on whether these pesticides are safe for food crops and the environment before deciding whether to keep, change, or remove the allowed residue limits.
Pesticide Tolerance; Exemptions, Petitions, Revocations, etc.: Pydiflumetofen
The EPA is deciding whether to allow or limit the use of pydiflumetofen, a pesticide used on crops, by setting safe levels of residue that can remain on food. This regulation affects what farmers can spray on crops and what pesticide residues consumers might be exposed to through the food they eat.
Locatable Minerals
The U.S. Forest Service is proposing new rules about mining for valuable minerals like gold, copper, and silver on federal forest lands. These rules would change how companies can search for and extract these minerals, potentially affecting mining operations, environmental protection, and recreation on public forests.
Pesticide Tolerance; Exemptions, Petitions, Revocations, etc.: Inpyrfluxam
The EPA is setting safety limits for a pesticide called Inpyrfluxam, which can be used on crops to control insects and other pests. This regulation establishes how much of this pesticide can remain on food and in the environment while still being considered safe for consumers and farmers.
Taking or Importing of Marine Mammals: Hilcorp Alaska, LLC Oil and Gas Activities in Cook Inlet, AK
This regulation allows Hilcorp Alaska to conduct oil and gas drilling operations in Cook Inlet while following specific rules to protect marine mammals like whales and sea otters. The rules set limits on activities that might harm these animals and require the company to monitor and report any impacts.
Fisheries Off West Coast States: West Coast Salmon Fisheries; Rebuilding Plan for the Overfished Queets River Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon Stock
The federal government is proposing a plan to help rebuild the population of Chinook salmon in the Queets River on Washington's coast, which has become dangerously overfished. The plan will likely restrict how many salmon can be caught in the area to allow the fish population to recover and protect this important species for both wildlife and people who depend on fishing.
Fisheries of the Northeastern United States: 2026 and Projected 2027 Specifications for the Summer Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass, and Bluefish Fisheries
This regulation sets fishing limits and rules for four types of fish (summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, and bluefish) in northeastern U.S. waters for 2026 and projects rules for 2027. These limits help ensure fish populations stay healthy so fishing communities and seafood consumers can continue to benefit from these fisheries long-term.
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points: United States Area Navigation Routes Q-121 and Q-156
The FAA is officially establishing two new flight paths (called Q-121 and Q-156) across U.S. airspace to help aircraft navigate more efficiently using modern GPS technology. These designated routes will improve air traffic flow and safety by giving pilots clear, standardized paths to follow.
