The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has finalized a rule changing the 5.9 GHz band to support cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology, which is intended to improve transportation safety and efficiency. By 2027, existing systems using older technology known as Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) must transition to C-V2X, as the DSRC licenses will no longer be issued. The rule outlines technical guidelines for both roadside and vehicle units, emphasizes message priority for safety communications, and does not require compensation for entities transitioning to the new technology. The FCC expects these changes to enhance traffic safety while supporting the development of new transportation technologies.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has found that crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Vietnam are being sold in the United States at lower than fair market value, which means they are being sold cheaper than usual. This ruling applies from October 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Because of this, Commerce will require cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties on these products. The International Trade Commission will decide if these imports harm U.S. industry, which could lead to further action.

The U.S. Department of Commerce plans to partially revoke its antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain solar products from China.
