The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, issued a temporary order to deny export privileges for 180 days to several entities, including Kirill Gordei and Apelsin Logistics Inc. This decision was made because they were involved in shipping U.S. goods to Russia, bypassing U.S. export rules using false documents in collaboration with other companies. The investigation revealed significant and deliberate violations, such as transshipping a Mass Spectrometer and other goods to Russia without the necessary licenses. The order aims to prevent further violations and serves as a warning to others to avoid transactions with these entities.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing an interim final rule to allow veterans who served in specific locations during and after the Gulf War to have a presumed service connection for urinary bladder, ureter, and related genitourinary cancers. This is related to exposure to fine particulate matter, particularly from burn pits, which can be hazardous to health and has been shown to have a connection to these types of cancers. This new rule is part of the effort to implement the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 (PACT Act), which aims to simplify the process for veterans to receive health care and benefits for conditions linked to toxic exposures during their military service. The rule is effective January 2, 2025, with comments open until March 3, 2025.

The rule prohibits manufacturing, processing, and distributing PCTP and PCTP-containing products if the concentration exceeds 1% by weight. This restriction aims to lower the availability and exposure of PCTP, thereby reducing the potential risks to human health and the environment. By enforcing these limits, the EPA encourages the use of safer alternatives and reduces environmental and human exposure to PCTP.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is proposing a temporary waiver under the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) that would allow the use of domestically assembled solar modules for certain federally funded projects, as fully BABA-compliant solar modules are currently not available in sufficient quantities. The waiver aims to consolidate waivers for multiple projects, reduce paperwork, and support the growth of domestic solar manufacturing. This proposal supports creating a supply chain for American-made solar products and promoting the benefits for communities receiving HUD assistance. HUD is inviting public comments on this proposed waiver, which would be effective until December 31, 2025, with installation by June 30, 2026.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to New York's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone air quality standards, specifically for the Lehigh Cement Company in Glens Falls, New York. This revision involves implementing controls for nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions from a cement kiln, requiring them to use Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT). The proposed regulations are part of efforts to meet ozone standards and follow a nationwide consent decree. The EPA determined that this plan would not interfere with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) or other requirements of the Clean Air Act.
