 ### :bug: Bug Fixes
 
+* fix(sdk-node): apply spec-defined `schedule_delay: 1000` default for BatchLogRecordProcessor from declarative config (SDK defaults to 5000) [#6788](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/6788) @MikeGoldsmith
+* fix(configuration): default `log_level` to `info` in env-based config initialization for consistency with file-based config [#6788](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/6788) @MikeGoldsmith
 * fix(sdk-node): pass all config properties to log record exporters in declarative config [#6708](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/6708) @MikeGoldsmith
 * fix(sdk-node): warn and ignore zero exporter timeout in declarative config [#6711](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/6711) @MikeGoldsmith
 * fix(sdk-node): pass gRPC credentials and headers to span exporter in declarative config [#6705](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/6705) @MikeGoldsmith
