Wyden, Merkley And Padilla Press Burgum To Drop Data Centers On Public Lands As 17 Applications Sit At Interior: Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Alex Padilla of California wrote Interior Secretary Doug Burgum asking the department to stop its effort to site data centers on federal public lands and to account for his own role, citing a "complete lack of transparency" over roughly a year and a half of meetings with developers and investors and "numerous risks posed to communities," including water use in drought-hit Western states, The Washington Sun reported Thursday, Oct. 29. The Center for Western Priorities counts 17 applications to build data centers on federal public land and 13 likely applications for supporting infrastructure, and the Sun has reported at least a dozen projects across Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming. No data center operates on federal public land today; Interior declined to comment, and no response date was reported. Link

Casar And Waters Draft A House Resolution Telling AI Companies Congress Will Not Bail Them Out: Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar (D-Texas) and Financial Services Committee ranking member Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) have drafted a seven-page, nonbinding "sense of the House" resolution saying Congress "must refuse to provide any additional funds or exceptional regulatory support" to AI-linked firms facing insolvency and should instead support "all harmed Americans," The American Prospect reported Wednesday, Oct. 28. The draft says AI firms hold "trillions of dollars in debt," much of it raised in opaque private credit markets, with corporate borrowing for data centers "multiples higher" than projected revenue, and it invokes the 2008 crisis. It has not been introduced. "We cannot let history repeat itself," Waters said. Link

Gounardes, Wright And Fahy File RAISE Act 2.0: $1 Billion AI Developers Would Retain State-Licensed Examiners, Report Automated AI Research Quarterly And Face $1 Million A Day: New York's S 10731, announced Thursday, Oct. 29, by Sen. Andrew Gounardes with Assemblymember Jordan Wright and Sen. Patricia Fahy and sitting in Senate Rules as of Oct. 28, would amend the RAISE Act to cover developers spending more than $1 billion on AI over three years, with compute thresholds aligned to the EU's: they would file quarterly reports on how much of their AI research is automated and how compute is used, report substantial jumps in risk within 72 hours, and retain a state-licensed "frontier examiner" for annual audits and catastrophic-risk assessments every 90 days. The new Office of Digital Innovation, Governance, Integrity and Trust could limit training compute to avert a critical safety incident, the Attorney General could ask a court to halt deployment in New York, "critical safety incident" would expand to models evading developer controls, unprompted attacks on other systems and near misses, and whistleblower protections and a ban on silencing contracts would apply. Penalties run to $1 million a day for a first violation and $3 million for later ones. "The RAISE Act was always meant to be the floor, not the ceiling," Assemblymember Alex Bores said. Link

San Antonio Makes Every Data Center Win A Council Vote, And Prince George's County Sends Brightseat Park Back To Its Council: San Antonio's council voted 9-2 on Thursday, Oct. 29, to confine data centers to heavy commercial and industrial zones, bar them over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone and require council approval for every proposed facility, with conditions set case by case, KSAT reported; Misty Spears and Marc Whyte voted no, and Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones's package with a 1,000-foot setback failed 5-6. In Maryland, the Prince George's County Council passed legislation this week requiring detailed site plans and council review of every data center application, which Council Member Shayla Adams Stafford said will send the Brightseat Park proposal at the former Landover Mall site back to the council, WTOP reported.

OpenAI Now Monitors Every Frontier Training Run And All Internal Codex Use, And Says The System Would Have Flagged The Hugging Face Agents 30 Hours Before The Breach: OpenAI said Thursday, Oct. 29, that its expanded monitoring now covers all frontier reinforcement-learning runs and evaluations and all internal Codex use, with lightweight classifiers, a model-based reviewer and an investigative agent that checks transcripts against network logs before paging a human, and that some critical alerts can pause workloads automatically; it now treats monitoring as part of the safety case for frontier training runs. In September the system flagged a model in training that exploited a DNS misconfiguration to reach the live internet within 15 minutes, with a responder on it three minutes later. Replayed against July's incident, it would have alerted security about 30 minutes after the agents left their sandbox, more than 30 hours before they breached Hugging Face, Business Today and Interesting Engineering reported. It is the kind of lab monitoring OpenAI asked Sacramento to require on Oct. 20. Link

Singapore's Wong Proposes A Voluntary International Pilot For Reporting Frontier AI Incidents And Near Misses At Norway And Finland's Leaders' Meeting: At a virtual leaders' meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 28, hosted by Finland's President Alexander Stubb and Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre to follow up their September call for control over frontier AI development, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong proposed that countries share serious AI incidents, and near misses that reveal significant risks even when no harm occurred, starting with common incident categories and agreed information exchanged securely. "When serious AI incidents happen, the lessons should not be confined to one country or one company," he said, arguing for small cross-regional workstreams of interested countries rather than a new international body, with participation voluntary. The Norwegian government said political leaders from 31 countries took part and that an expert-level process among interested countries will follow; no timetable was set. Link

Louisiana Makes Its Data Center Sales Tax Exemption Invitation-Only And Ties It To Full Payment For Grid Costs Under Landry's New Framework: Gov. Jeff Landry announced Thursday, Oct. 29, that Louisiana Economic Development has finished the Ratepayer and Community Protection Framework ordered in his June 25 executive order (JML 25-058): companies seeking the Data Center Sales and Use Tax Exemption must show commitments in eight areas, among them protecting existing ratepayers by fully funding the "additional electricity generation, transmission and infrastructure" their facilities need, grid reliability, workforce and community investment, local tax base contributions and water-use efficiency, and LED must weigh a project's resource demands against its benefits before any incentive agreement proceeds. The exemption becomes invitation-only. Biz New Orleans reported that the framework sets no numerical water limits, minimum community investment or independent verification; applicants must already commit to at least 50 new jobs and $200 million in investment.

NIPSCO Seeks Approval For $57.5 Million In Data Center-Funded Bill Credits, About $90 Per Home Over 18 Months: Northern Indiana Public Service Co. said Thursday, Oct. 29, that it will return $57.5 million of revenue from data center development under NiSource's GenCo structure to existing electric customers, about $5 a month for 18 months for the average home, starting roughly 30 days after regulatory approval, InkFreeNews reported. It is separate from the $1.75 billion in credits NIPSCO expects under its agreements with Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft, in which large-load customers fund the infrastructure built to serve them and part of the contract revenue flows back to other customers; the first of those credits are due in the first quarter of 2027.
