This request may require FRA's approval for changes to an already certified PTC system. FRA is inviting the public to comment on this request by January 13, 2025, and all submissions will be available on the regulations.gov website. Comments received will help FRA make a decision regarding the approval of the proposed modifications.

    The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has announced that certain individuals and companies have been added to its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). This action is in line with Executive Order 14059, which targets individuals involved in the global illegal drug trade. Consequently, their assets in the United States are frozen, and U.S. citizens are prohibited from conducting business with them. This decision was made on December 17, 2024, and additional information is available on the OFAC website.
