Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act Regulations Statutory Updates

The United States Small Business Administration (SBA) is amending the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act regulations in 13 CFR part 142 to reflect changes made to the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 by the Administrative False Claims Act of 2023. These changes, among other things, revise the name of the administrative action from "Program Fraud Civil Remedies" to "Administrative False Claims" and increase the threshold for a claim from $150,000 to $1,000,000. The Administrative False Claims Act mandates that the Agency issue regulations to update part 142 and this direct final rule conforms the regulations to the Administrative False Claims Act by adopting the new statutory requirements without change.

Land Uses; Special Uses

The United States Department of Agriculture (Department), Forest Service (Forest Service or Agency), is issuing this final rule to update its special uses regulations on filming and still photography to be consistent with the new requirements in the Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences Act (EXPLORE Act or Act). The technical revisions include adding a statutory reference to the EXPLORE Act and updating terminology and definitions to be consistent with the Act.

Colorado Underground Injection Control Program; Class VI Primacy

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) has received a complete Underground Injection Control (UIC) primacy application from the State of Colorado, requesting primary enforcement responsibility (primacy) for Class VI injection wells under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) section 1422. The EPA's approval of the State's UIC program primacy application would allow Colorado's Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) to issue and enforce compliance with UIC Class VI permits for injection wells used for geologic carbon sequestration. In this action, the EPA proposes to approve Colorado's application to implement the UIC program for Class VI injection wells located within the State, except those on Indian lands for which the EPA retains primacy. The EPA has determined that Colorado's UIC Class VI program meets federal requirements for primacy under SDWA section 1422 and the applicable implementing regulations in 40 CFR parts 144, 145, and 146.
