In this action, NTIA and NHTSA are removing regulations related to the 911 Grant Program because the program is no longer active and there have been no new appropriations to revive or extend it. This removal is intended to eliminate obsolete regulatory language, ensure that the Code of Federal Regulations is accurate and up-to-date, and minimize the risk of confusion regarding the availability of grant funds.

Proposed RuleSecurities and Exchange Commission
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") is proposing to amend the rule under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that provides an exemption from the statutory prohibition on registered investment advisers receiving compensation on the basis of a share of capital gains in or capital appreciation of an advisory client's account. Specifically, the proposed amendments would expand the ability of investment advisers to receive this compensation from clients that are registered management investment companies and business development companies (collectively, "regulated funds"), subject to certain conditions. The proposal would relatedly amend certain regulated fund registration and reporting forms to require separate disclosure of all performance-based compensation paid by regulated funds to their investment adviser. The proposed rule amendments would also allow investment advisers to receive this compensation from additional clients by revising the rule's "qualified client" definition to include investors that meet the "accredited investor" definition in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. The proposal would relatedly make conforming amendments to certain other rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 whose provisions reference the "qualified client" definition.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission" or the "SEC") is proposing new custody rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and amendments to related reporting and recordkeeping requirements to address how regulated investment companies may custody crypto securities and similar investments, and amendments to the custody rule and related reporting and recordkeeping rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act") to address how registered investment advisers may custody client crypto funds and securities.

Additionally, we are proposing to redesignate the custody rule under the Advisers Act and to make corresponding amendments to Form ADV and Form ADV-E for registered investment advisers to reflect the Advisers Act custody rule redesignation. We are also proposing amendments to Form ADV for registered investment advisers and Form N-CEN for regulated investment companies and to improve the quality of public disclosures made on these forms.

This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by deleting vacant Channel 288A at Selmer, Tennessee, because it does not comply with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules. Channel 288A at Selmer, Tennessee is short-spaced to Station WVNA-FM by nine kilometers, and there are no alternate channels available to alleviate the existing spacing conflict that would comply with the Commission's spacing requirements. The deletion of vacant Channel 288A at Selmer is consistent with the Commission's policy that we will not retain a vacant FM channel that does not comply with the Commission's spacing requirements.

These final rules set forth requirements that amend the regulations under the Public Health Service Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the Internal Revenue Code regarding price transparency reporting requirements for non- grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage. Specifically, these final rules are intended to improve the standardization, accuracy, and accessibility of public pricing disclosures in line with the goals of Executive Order 14221, "Making America Healthy Again by Empowering Patients With Clear, Accurate, and Actionable Healthcare Pricing Information." With respect to the In- network Rate and out-of-network Allowed Amount machine-readable files, these final rules aim to achieve these goals by adding new contextual files and additional data elements like product type, provider network name, and provider network identifier; changing the reporting level for aggregation of data; removing in-network rates for unlikely provider- to-service mappings; increasing the reporting period and lowering the claims threshold for out-of-network historical data; and reducing the reporting cadence. These final rules also aim to improve the findability of all publicly disclosed machine-readable files required under the Transparency in Coverage rules, including the prescription drug file, by requiring a text file containing contact information for the files, and a footer with website URLs. These final rules also require pricing information that is made available through an online consumer tool and on paper (upon request), to also be made available by phone, and establish that the satisfaction of such requirement also satisfies the requirements of section 114 of the No Surprises Act (including for grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage that are not otherwise subject to these final rules).
