    The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced a revised timeline for investigations into imported sol gel alumina-based ceramic abrasive grains from China.

  • 2024-31210 — Update to Procedures for Listing Designated Countries and Location of List
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105391
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a final rule updating how the public is notified about countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).

The rule does not change which countries are in the VWP or impact public rights since the information remains accessible online.

    Simple Explanation

    The DHS is changing how they tell people which countries can visit the U.S. without a visa. Instead of putting the list in a big rule book, they will keep it on a website so they can update it faster.
