Coast Guard seals Ohio River for WV fireworks extravaganza

2026-13137, Marine Casualty Reporting on the Outer Continental Shelf

Starting July 30, 2026, companies working on the Outer Continental Shelf must report marine accidents based on who’s involved, not just where they happen. The rule raises the damage cost that triggers a report from $25,000 to $75,000, saving businesses money and making rules clearer and fairer. This change cuts industry costs by over $10,000 in 10 years and aligns U.S. rules with international standards for offshore activities.

Previous: 2026-15525, Clingstone Peach Diversion Program; Amendment of Program Regulations

This interim final rule amends the regulatory requirements for the Clingstone Peach Diversion Program (Program). The Program is voluntary, consists of payments for peach tree removal, and is implemented under clause (3) of section 32 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act Amendment of 1935, as amended. The Program is expected to reestablish the purchasing power of clingstone peach growers by making payments to such growers to facilitate reductions in peach production capacity. This action will help to align the domestic supply of clingstone peaches with the market demand for those peaches and thus mitigate the economic effects of systemic oversupply. The parameters established herein will ensure that diversion under this Program is not part of a normal tree replacement cycle for orchard rejuvenation. This rule also announces the Agricultural Marketing Service's intention to request approval by the Office of Management and Budget of new information collection requirements necessary to implement the Program.

Next: 2026-15552, Amendment of Class B Airspace; New York, NY

P-75 is simultaneously established through a separate rulemaking action under Docket No. FAA-2025-2635. Additionally, the FAA makes technical amendments to geographic coordinates, an airport name, and navigational aid (NAVAID) type in the airspace description to conform to the National Airspace System Resource (NASR) database.
