The National Cemetery Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking public comments on a proposed information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This involves a revision of a previously approved data collection, aiming to ensure that funeral honors on VA properties uphold the dignity and safety of these sites. The public can share their thoughts on whether this information is necessary, how accurate the VA's burden estimates are, and how to improve the process. Comments are due by June 9, 2025, and can be submitted via the regulations.gov website.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that aluminum wire and cable completed in Vietnam using materials from China are not subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders from China. However, they found that these imports are circumventions of those orders. Consequently, the Commerce Department has ordered that any such imports from Vietnam will face suspension of liquidation and cash deposits for duties. Certain companies, like Tanghenam, are precluded from certifying goods as free of Chinese inputs, and failure to properly certify may result in duties being applied.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is asking the public to comment on a proposed data collection related to the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, they need approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and are providing an additional 30 days for the public to submit feedback. Comments can address whether the information collection is necessary, if the burden estimates are correct, and how the process could be improved. The SBA aims to update and refine its collection process to include new certification requirements and reporting instructions.

The Department of Commerce has begun administrative reviews for various antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders from November anniversary dates. Entities that had no transactions during the review period should inform the department within 30 days. The reviews will determine if any companies should receive separate duty rates, particularly those from non-market economies, by assessing whether they are free from government control. Participants in the review process must adhere to strict deadlines for submitting information, including requests for extending deadlines and meeting certification requirements.
