Other Notable Actions
The Drug Enforcement Admin. issued a final rule revising existing regulations for narcotic treatment programs (NTPs) to allow the operation of new mobile components. Registrants do not need a separate registration to dispense narcotic drugs in schedules II-V at remote locations for maintenance or detoxification treatment. Effective July 28. See Laura Stanley's public interest comment on the NPRM.
The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing reporting requirements for PFAS under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Persons that manufacture or have manufactured these chemical substances since 2011 must report information regarding PFAS uses, production volumes, disposal, exposures, and hazards. Comments due August 28.
The Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service is proposing to lift the stay on a 2012 rule to establish contingency planning and personnel training requirements for facilities that handle, care, treat, and transport certain animals. The agency is also proposing minor revisions to the requirements to better ensure that entities responsible for animals regulated under the Animal Welfare Act are prepared to safeguard the health and welfare of such animals in the event of possible emergencies or disasters. Comments due August 24.
The Dept. of Housing & Urban Development is proposing to recodify its previously promulgated 2013 rule on implementing the Fair Housing Act's Discriminatory Effects Standard. The 2013 rule currently remains in effect because a preliminary injunction stayed the agency's 2020 rule establishing different standards under the Fair Housing Act. After reconsidering the 2020 rule, HUD believes the 2013 rule is more consistent with the Fair Housing Act's remedial purposes. Comments due August 24.
The White House Office of Science & Technology Policy issued a request for information to help improve the effectiveness of Federal scientific integrity policies to enhance public trust in science. OSTP seeks information about (1) the effectiveness of Federal policies and needed areas of improvement; (2) good practices Federal agencies could adopt to improve scientific integrity; and (3) other topics or concerns that Federal scientific integrity policies should address. Comments due July 28.
