The President continued the national emergency with respect to Lebanon, first declared in August 2007, for another year through August 1, 2027. PHMSA accounted for much of the final-rule volume, confirming effective dates for a dozen direct final rules published April 24 that incorporate updated pipeline standards, and withdrawing two others. CMS issued FY 2027 payment updates for skilled nursing facilities and inpatient psychiatric facilities. The FCC adopted orders making 160 megahertz of the Upper C-band available for terrestrial wireless use, setting radio altimeter requirements, and imposing Emergency Alert System cybersecurity requirements, alongside a further proposed rulemaking on alerting systems. The FAA established Prohibited Area P-75 over the President's New York residence and amended New York Class B airspace to exclude it, and adjusted airspace and routes in Connecticut, Alaska, and Nebraska. OPM removed references to the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures, citing a June 9, 2026 Office of Legal Counsel opinion.

- Clingstone Peach Diversion Program; Amendment of Program Regulations (2026-15525; 7 CFR Part 82) — This interim final rule amends the regulatory requirements for the Clingstone Peach Diversion Program (Program). The Program is voluntary, consists of payments for peach tree removal, and is implemented under clause (3) of section 32 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act Amendment of 1935, as amended. The Program is expected to reestablish the purchasing power of clingstone peach growers by making payments to such growers to facilitate reductions in peach production capacity. This action will help to align the domestic supply of clingstone peaches with the market demand for those peaches and thus mitigate the economic effects of systemic oversupply. The parameters established herein will ensure that diversion under this Program is not part of a normal tree replacement cycle for orchard rejuvenation. This rule also announces the Agricultural Marketing Service's intention to request approval by the Office of Management and Budget of new information collection requirements necessary to implement the Program. Action: Interim final rule with request for comments. Dates: Effective August 3, 2026. Comments received by September 29, 2026 will be considered prior to issuance of a final rule.

- Qualification and Certification of Locomotive Engineers and Conductors; English Language Proficiency and Other Requirements (2026-15605; 49 CFR Parts 240 and 242) — FRA proposes to amend its regulations governing the qualification and certification of locomotive engineers and conductors to establish English language proficiency as a requirement for a railroad carrier to certify and recertify locomotive engineers and conductors. FRA also proposes that each railroad carrier conducting a triennial examination of skill performance, and an annual operational monitoring observation for locomotive engineers, which are current requirements, conduct those examinations and observations without engaging energy management systems that limit the need for a locomotive engineer to operate the throttle or braking systems. Further, FRA proposes to codify limitations on operations at the southern border, including a 10 route-mile geographic limitation, to ensure domestic training, testing, and certification requirements for Mexican crew members are adequate. In addition, FRA proposes changes to clarify that a locomotive engineer or conductor's territorial qualification is limited to the specific direction of travel traversed during the qualification process. Action: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Dates: Written comments must be received on or before September 29, 2026. FRA will consider comments received after that date to the extent practicable.
- In plain terms The Federal Railroad Administration is proposing to require English language proficiency for locomotive crews, restrict energy-saving systems during examinations, limit southern border operations to 10 route-miles, and limit territorial qualifications to specific travel directions.

Also observed this day, not listed above: 746 release(s) the agencies date on other days (feed backfill from newly activated sources). Excluded under AGENCYPR-EX-01; counted in the Coverage Statement; captures preserved.
7. Recorded Votes
Roll-call votes the chambers themselves record on 2026-07-31, in vote-number order. Every recorded vote in the window is listed: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one question over another. Tallies and member positions come from the chamber's own published vote record, captured and hashed like every other source. This is the chambers' vote record itself; section 1.3 lists the Congressional Record granules in which votes were printed.
No recorded votes dated this day were observed.
Also observed this day, not listed above: 8 recorded vote(s) the chambers date on other days (the index lookback window reaches back further than one day). Excluded under VOTES-EX-01; counted in the Coverage Statement; captures preserved.
8. Bill Actions
What the chambers did with individual measures on 2026-07-31, as the Library of Congress's own bill-status record states it. Every action in the ingestion window is listed, in bill-designation order: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one measure over another. Section 2 lists the text of bills published this day; this section lists what happened to them.
Publication lag: the record dates an action by the day the chamber took it and publishes it the following morning, so this section fills in after the day it describes has ended — the same lag the judicial section carries, and it is restated under Known gaps.
No bill actions dated this day were observed.

Methodology
Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (63a37dc). Editorial principles — primary sources only, opinion-agnostic prose, mechanical party-blind selection, full coverage accounting — are defined in GUIDE.md §2. Ruleset in effect: prompt version 1; plain-language version 1. To reproduce this digest: re-run the report stage against the extracted records for 2026-07-31; no upstream re-fetch is required (GUIDE.md §5).
"In plain terms" lines are model-generated restatements of the stored summaries, derived only from the summary text shown beside them; items without one had no usable restatement. ALL-CAPS source headings are case-normalized for display; original casing is preserved at the source link. Term definitions above are static, repo-versioned prose.
