“This proposed rule would revise regulations governing the
process and criteria by which the Secretary acknowledges an Indian tribe. The
revisions seek to make the process and criteria more transparent, promote
consistent implementation, and increase timeliness and efficiency, while
maintaining the integrity of the process.”

Assessment Makes
Mount Sinjar Evacuation Less Likely
“The findings of an assessment team composed of U.S. service members accompanied by personnel from the U.S. Agency for International Development make an evacuation mission for Yazidis who have sought refuge from terrorists on northern Iraq’s Mount Sinjar “far less likely,” Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said yesterday.”

Immigration/ Weed Killer
Missoulian: Report: White House
didn't OK immigrant releases
Ice’s Release of Immigration Detainees
“In February and March 2013, media sources reported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released hundreds of immigration detainees, including detainees with criminal convictions. The publicized releases occurred the weekend before sequestration went into effect on March 1, 2013, generating speculation that the releases were improperly motivated.”

Missoulian: Decision
could boost use of popular weed killer
EPA Seeks Comment on Proposed Decision to Register Enlist
“On April 30, 2014, the EPA made available for a 30-day public comment period a proposed regulatory decision to register Enlist Duo containing glyphosate and the choline salt of 2,4-D for use in controlling weeds in corn and soybeans genetically engineered (GE) to tolerate 2,4-D. Weeds are becoming increasingly resistant to glyphosate-based herbicides and are posing a problem for farmers. If finalized, this action would provide an additional tool to reduce the spread of glyphosate resistant weeds. To ensure that Enlist Duo successfully manages weed resistance problems, the proposal would impose requirements on the manufacturer including robust monitoring and reporting to EPA, grower education and remediation and would allow EPA to take swift action to impose additional restrictions on the manufacturer and the use of the pesticide if resistance develops.”
