This decision follows a citizen petition from 2009 asking for such regulation and a subsequent mandamus petition in 2023. After reviewing data and conducting analyses, the EPA found the potential risks to human health and the environment from lead wheel weights to be low. Instead, the agency will consider these materials as part of a broader evaluation of lead and lead compounds, which are identified for future prioritization actions.

The rule aims to provide clearer guidance on the SEC's administrative processes while maintaining the security and accuracy of information submitted through EDGAR.

Ltd. and Norma Group, revising their dumping margins based on feedback during the review process. The final results will influence future duties and require importers to ensure compliance with U.S. trade rules.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), part of the Department of Transportation, announced the denial of a petition to investigate a recall of Tesla vehicles over alleged sudden unintended acceleration (SUA). The petitioner, Mr. Brian Sparks, had claimed a defect caused these vehicles to accelerate unexpectedly, posing a safety risk. However, after extensive analysis of data from Tesla and crash incidents, NHTSA found that the cause of the alleged SUA incidents was most likely driver error, specifically pedal misapplication. The agency found no evidence of a defect in Tesla's motor, brake systems, or vehicle design that would justify a vehicle recall.

The Department of Commerce has announced preliminary findings that producers and exporters of stainless steel flanges from India sold their products in the U.S. at prices below the normal value during the period from March 28, 2018, to September 30, 2019. The review focused particularly on Chandan Steel Limited, which did not cooperate fully, leading Commerce to assign them a high dumping margin based on available facts. As these results are preliminary, interested parties can submit comments and requests for a hearing before final results are published. The final dumping duties will be decided after considering these inputs, with possible changes to cash deposit rates for future entries of these products.
