    The Coast Guard has implemented a new rule imposing a 48-hour time limit for vessels anchoring in Anchorage Area (B) at Bolivar Roads near Galveston, Texas, effective March 3, 2021. This rule aligns Anchorage Area (B) with the same time restrictions already applied to Areas (A) and (C). The change comes in response to extended anchoring times causing congestion and safety concerns, impacting commerce. Vessels can request longer anchoring permission from the Captain of the Port Houston-Galveston through the Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service if needed due to bad weather or other circumstances.

OPM regularly publishes updates and annual summaries of these types of appointing authorities in the Federal Register.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has released a notice regarding a proposed rule change by MEMX LLC. The change involves amending a rule to allow MEMX to handle limit orders even when the national best bid or offer (NBBO) is not available, arguing that this will enhance market liquidity and benefit members by enabling the submission of orders that could help establish the NBBO. Unlike market orders, limit orders have a specific price limit set by the user, minimizing the risk of unintended prices due to NBBO unavailability. The Commission has waived the usual delay for the proposal to become operative, allowing it to take immediate effect. Critics or supporters of this change can submit their comments to the Commission as outlined in the notice.

    Simple Explanation

    The SEC says that a company that helps people buy and sell stocks, called MEMX, wants to change a rule so it can handle special types of buying orders, called limit orders, even when the best price to buy or sell isn't clear. This change is aimed at helping the system work better and allowing more people to buy and sell shares at prices they choose.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has corrected a significant error in its preliminary investigation regarding the sale of certain epoxy resins from Korea. The investigation found that Kumho P&B Chemicals had a significant ministerial error in the calculation of their dumping margin. These corrected changes lead to a revised dumping margin for Kumho P&B and all other producers or exporters, resulting in adjusted cash deposit rates effective retroactively to November 13, 2024. The revised rates suggest a decrease in cash deposits, and the Commerce Department will update U.S. Customs and Border Protection with the new instructions for refunds.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government fixed a mistake in their earlier check on some special glue from Korea, making sure that a company’s prices are fairer; this means people selling the glue now have to pay less money beforehand when bringing it into the U.S.
