Learn More🌊Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Restoration Plan and Business Implications
The natural resource trustee agencies for the Louisiana and Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Groups (the TIGs) have prepared the Draft Joint Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment #1: Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats, Federally Managed Lands, Fish and Water Column Invertebrates, Submerged Aquatic Vegetation, Sea Turtles, and Birds Restoration of the Chandeleur Islands (Draft RP/EA). The Draft RP/EA analyzes projects to partially restore resources injured in the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. The Draft RP/EA evaluates a reasonable range of six action alternatives under the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), including criteria set forth in the OPA natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) regulations, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). A No Action alternative is also analyzed. The total cost to implement the TIGs' two preferred alternatives is approximately $360,000,000. The TIGs are proposing to allocate approximately $247,000,000 in DWH NRDA funds to implement the preferred alternatives and the State of Louisiana is actively pursuing additional funding sources.

Learn More💰Proposed Rescissions' Impact on International Assistance Programs
Pursuant to section 1014(d) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, enclosed for publication in the Federal Register is a special message from the President reflecting the proposals for rescission under section 1012 of that Act that were transmitted to the Congress for consideration on June 3, 2025. In total, these proposals would rescind $9.4 billion in budget authority. These proposed rescissions affect programs of the Department of State, as well as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Institute of Peace, and other International Assistance Programs. If enacted, these rescissions would decrease Federal outlays in the affected accounts by the same amount; this would have a commensurate effect on the Federal budget deficit and the national economy, and would result in less borrowing from the Federal Treasury.
