The Energy Information Administration is projecting significantly higher natural gas prices as a result of damage to energy infrastructure in the Gulf Coast region affected by Hurricane Katrina.

California has passed a law, S.B. 600, which requires the state to set up a biomonitoring program for chemical exposures. It would be modeled on the human monitoring program run by the Centers for Disease Control & -Prevention.
The Government Account-ability Office has reported that the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has failed to meet its goal of providing a completely integrated, electronic patent process.
