The United States Department of Justice, along with several states, filed a lawsuit against RealPage, Inc. and several landlord companies, claiming they violated antitrust laws. The lawsuit alleges that these companies used RealPage's software to share sensitive rental information to influence and align rental prices, reducing competition and leading to higher rents for tenants. As part of a proposed settlement, Cortland Management, one of the defendants, agreed to stop using RealPage's software and instead use its own revenue management system without sharing sensitive data. The settlement aims to prevent Cortland from engaging in similar anticompetitive behavior in the future.

On January 20, 2021, President Biden directed the reinstatement of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for eligible Liberians. As a result, these Liberians have their employment authorization extended until June 30, 2022. The notice also automatically extends certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) and assists eligible Liberians in applying for adjustment of status under the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness (LRIF) provision. This measure provides Liberians with additional time to apply for permanent residency and ensures they can continue working during this period.

These forms are part of a collection approved under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and include new additions and revisions to existing ones, which will now be integrated into ORR's new case management system, known as UAC Path.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed an expedited review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel wheels from China, which are 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter. They found that removing this order would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of subsidies that are unfair to U.S. producers. This decision is part of the sunset review process, which revisits such orders to decide if they should be continued. The Commerce Department did not receive any significant responses from Chinese manufacturers, leading to this expedited review and conclusion.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a final rule to address national security risks related to connected vehicles, particularly those involving technology designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by entities in China or Russia. The rule aims to regulate certain software and hardware that enable vehicle connectivity and automated driving systems. It requires vehicle manufacturers and importers to verify their supply chains and submit Declarations of Conformity to confirm compliance, with some options for specific or general authorizations to continue certain transactions otherwise prohibited. The rule is designed to protect U.S. infrastructure from potential threats associated with these technologies.

This final rule, implemented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), fulfills requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Whistleblower Act. It offers rewards to whistleblowers who provide original information regarding motor vehicle defects, noncompliance, or violations that might lead to severe injury or death, if this information aids in successfully resolving enforcement actions. The rule details procedures for submitting information, eligibility for awards, maintaining confidentiality, and factors in award determination. It aims to motivate employees of car manufacturers, part suppliers, and dealerships to report serious safety issues by clarifying protections and ensuring confidentiality.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is asking for public comments on their updated draft document, Cybersecurity Best Practices for the Safety of Modern Vehicles. This document is a revision of their 2016 guidance and focuses on improving vehicle cybersecurity with an emphasis on safety. NHTSA's recommendations are voluntary and aim to guide the automotive industry in managing cybersecurity risks in motor vehicles. The Agency is seeking feedback on the draft update, which includes new best practices addressing evolving cybersecurity challenges in vehicle electronics, software, and wireless connectivity.

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.
