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.

The Department of Defense is updating rules to make sure companies working with them reveal if they’re owned or controlled by foreign folks. This helps keep our defense projects safe from hidden foreign influence. If you’re a contractor or subcontractor, get ready to share ownership info by July 6, 2026, or risk delays in your contracts.

Starting May 7, 2026, the Department of Defense won’t make most new defense contractors share their greenhouse gas emissions unless it’s really needed for the contract. This change helps nontraditional contractors avoid extra paperwork, but DoD can still ask for info if it’s directly tied to the job. It’s a smart move to keep things fair and focused without slowing down important defense work.
2025-20402, Updated Definition of “Waters of the United States”
