  • 2024-31548 — Procurement List; Additions and Deletions
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 308
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled has decided to remove certain products and services from the Federal Government's Procurement List. These products were previously provided by nonprofit agencies that employ people with visual impairments or other severe disabilities. The removal, effective February 2, 2025, means these products are no longer suitable for government procurement under existing regulations. This decision is not expected to significantly impact small entities, as it does not impose new compliance requirements and may allow them to offer products and services to the government instead.

    Simple Explanation

    The list of things the government buys from special groups that help people who can't see or have big challenges is changing. Some things will be taken off this list soon, so other companies might get a chance to sell those things instead.

  • 2025-01074 — Trade and National Security Actions and Low-Value Shipments
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 6852
    Reading Time:about 95 minutes

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing changes to the regulations for low-value shipments, where the retail value does not exceed $800. Merchandise affected by specific trade or national security measures would no longer be eligible for an administrative exemption from duties and taxes. This proposal aims to protect U.S. revenue and ensure compliance with trade laws. Public comments are requested before March 24, 2025, and additional details can be submitted through the Federal eRulemaking Portal.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine the U.S. is changing some rules that say if something is sent from another country and costs less than $800, you don't have to pay extra money to get it. But now, if the item is special and relates to big, important rules or safety, you might have to pay a bit more to make sure everyone is following the law and staying safe.
