Testing, Evaluation, and Approval of Electric Motor-Driven Mine Equipment and Accessories.
Proposed rule; request for comments - The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) proposes to revise its regulations that sets out the testing, evaluation, and approval requirements for electric motor-driven mine equipment and accessories intended for use in gassy mines. Under this proposal, MSHA will accept voluntary consensus standards (VCS) that are suitable for gassy mining environments and that provide protection against fire or explosion dangers, to replace approval requirements in its regulations. This proposal is intended to promote the use of innovative and advanced technologies that lead to improvements in mine safety and health and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of MSHA's approval process. |

Energy | Clean Fuel Regulations: The proposed Clean Fuel…
Clean Fuel Regulations: The proposed Clean Fuel Regulations (the proposed Regulations) would require primary suppliers (i.e., liquid fossil fuel producers and importers) to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of the liquid fossil fuels they produce and import in Canada from 2016 CI levels by 2.4gCO2e/MJ in 2022, increasing to 12gCO2e/MJ in 2030.
The proposed Regulations would also establish a credit market whereby the annual CI reduction requirement could be met via three main categories of credit-creating actions: actions throughout its lifecycle of fossil fuels that reduce the CI of the fossil fuel, supplying low-carbon fuels, and specified end-use fuel switching in transportation. Parties that are not primary suppliers would be able to participate in the credit market as voluntary credit creators (e.g., low carbon intensity fuel producers and importers) . (...) The propose Regulations will increase the use of biofuels in Canada and the demand for biofuel feedstock. Only biofuels made from biomass feedstock that adhere to land use and biodiversity criteria will be eligible for compliance credit creation. These criteria ensure the financial incentives created by the Regulations do not result in loss of biodiversity or negative land use impacts from growing and harvesting biofuel feedstock. These criteria apply to feedstock regardless of geographic origin. (...) |

Draft Commission Implementing Regulation on design, construction and performance requirements and testing standards for marine equipment and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1170: The draft Regulation replaces Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1170 and adapts its content to changes in the relevant international instruments.
The purpose of the Marine Equipment Directive is to enhance safety at sea and the prevention of marine pollution through the uniform application of the relevant international instruments adopted under the auspices of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which lay down specific requirements concerning the construction, performance and/or testing of equipment to be placed on board ships, and to ensure the free movement of such equipment within the EU. These international instrument include, in particular: the 1966 International Convention on Load Lines (LL66); the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (Colreg); the 1973 International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (Marpol) and the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (Solas) |
