$95M Tunisia Border-Security Sale
The U.S. proposes a $95 million sale of non-major defense equipment and services to Tunisia for a Border Security Project Phase III. Items listed include commercial vehicles, radios, thermal cameras, radars, sensors, command-and-control hardware and software, installation, and in‑country training; the report was delivered to Congress on April 23, 2026.
Temporary Duty for U.S. Personnel
Implementation will require seven additional U.S. Government and fifteen U.S. contractor representatives to be in Tunisia for about 30 days per year for up to five years to provide engineering, technical support, and program reviews. This creates defined short-term deployment work for contractor personnel tied to the program.

2026-18317, Updated Definition of “Waters of the United States”
The purpose of this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking is for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army ("the agencies") to supplement and seek additional comment on certain aspects of an earlier proposal, published on November 20, 2025, to revise the regulations defining the scope of waters federally covered under the Clean Water Act in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. As stated in the agencies' November 20, 2025 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the agencies intend for this rulemaking to provide greater regulatory certainty and increase Clean Water Act program predictability and consistency by clarifying the definition of "waters of the United States." After consideration of the public comments received on the NPRM, the agencies are issuing this notice to supplement the NPRM with additional regulatory options on certain aspects of the proposed rule.
