This rescission removes the regulatory definition of "harm" from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in Title 50 parts 17 and 222. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/13/2026-14052/natural-resource-damages-for-hazardous-substances 4cd975b6415f9f99dcf4 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 This final rule revises the simplified Type A procedures in the regulations for conducting natural resource damage assessments for hazardous substance releases. Additionally, this final rule includes several conforming changes and corrections intended to fix citations, provide for consistent use of terminology, and remove outdated or duplicative rule provisions and definitions.
