    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) made a correction to a rule that was previously published on March 20, 2025. This rule involved updating the listing for the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR® Storage System with Amendment No. 15 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1031. The correction was necessary to fix an error in the document's summary section, changing the phrase "head load" to "heat load." This rule will take effect on June 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission fixed a small mistake in a rule about special boxes that safely keep old nuclear fuel. They changed the word "head" to "heat" because these boxes have to keep cool to work right.

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is shifting unused pollock fishing allowances from the Aleutian Islands to the Bering Sea to ensure the full harvest of the 2025 pollock quota. This reallocation involves transferring 12,100 metric tons from the Aleut Corporation's allocation and 1,900 metric tons from the Community Development Quota to various sectors in the Bering Sea. The action, effective March 28, 2025, ensures that the goals of the Fishery Management Plan are met and complies with regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Additionally, usual notice and comment procedures were waived to expedite this change based on recent data.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is moving some extra fish from one part of Alaska to another so that people can catch them all before the year ends. They skipped some usual steps to do this fast, but some people might be worried about the fairness and if it's good for nature.

    Type:Notice

    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Department of Commerce is proposing to continue its information collection via the Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS). This survey helps gather detailed, frequent, and timely data on U.S. economic conditions and trends. With a target of 795,000 respondents, the survey will be conducted biweekly and seeks to include more multi-unit businesses for comprehensive economic representation. The department is also revising the survey to focus on core questions and plans to extend it for another three years, along with a possibility of including updated questions on artificial intelligence. Public comments are invited within 30 days on the proposed collection.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to keep asking lots of businesses questions every two weeks to see how the economy is doing, like how you'd check up on your plants to make sure they're growing. They're changing the questions a bit and might ask new ones about robots and computers, and people can tell them what they think about this plan.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce made a correction to its preliminary determination regarding thermoformed molded fiber products from Vietnam, which was originally published on March 14, 2025, in the Federal Register. This correction involves an error in Appendix I, detailing the scope of the investigation into these products. Thermoformed molded fiber products, which include items like plates and trays derived from cellulose fibers, are being investigated for countervailing duties. The corrected version of Appendix I now provides an accurate description of the products included in this investigation.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce found a mistake in their earlier message about checking certain products from Vietnam, like plates and trays made from special paper, to see if they should pay extra fees. They fixed this mistake so now everyone knows exactly what products they're looking at.

    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 14244
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced a preliminary decision that producers and exporters of hard empty capsules from China are receiving financial subsidies from their government, which can be harmful to U.S. businesses. This investigation, covering the entire year of 2023, seeks to establish whether these subsidies give China an unfair trade advantage. The Commerce Department has aligned this investigation with another investigation on similar products, with a final decision expected by August 2025. They have instructed customs to suspend the entry of these capsules into the U.S., and interested parties can comment on the findings by specified deadlines in April 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government found that China is helping companies there by giving them money, which makes their sale of capsule shells in the U.S. unfair. Now, they're telling people about this and asking for opinions on what to do next.
