  • 2025-06562 — Petition of Scott Sheffield To Reopen and Set Aside Order
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 16134
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    Scott Sheffield, who was previously with Pioneer Natural Resources Company, has requested that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rethink and cancel its decision from January 16, 2025, related to Exxon Mobil Corporation’s acquisition of Pioneer. Sheffield argues that the FTC’s order is not grounded in antitrust law and violates both his constitutional rights and due process. He claims that the FTC’s allegations against him, such as coordinating with OPEC on oil production, are baseless and that the order unjustly limits his professional activities. Public comments on this petition are invited and must be submitted by May 12, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    Scott Sheffield asked an important group called the FTC to change their mind about letting a big company, Exxon Mobil, buy another company, Pioneer, because he thinks it wasn't fair. People can tell the FTC what they think about this by May 12, 2025.

    The Secretary of State has imposed sanctions on three individuals, determined to have been involved in obstructing peace efforts in Syria.

The individuals, including Asma al-Assad and Kifah Moulhem, were identified under Executive Order 13894, which targets those obstructing peace in Syria or attempting to interfere with the conflict's resolution. Additionally, several relatives of Asma al-Assad are also sanctioned as family members of a designated person.

    Simple Explanation

    The Secretary of State has decided that certain people are not helping to make peace in a place called Syria, so they cannot use their things in the United States, and they can't come to visit. Some of these people are family members connected to a lady named Asma al-Assad.

  • 2024-31403 — Federal Acquisition Regulation: Improving Consistency Between Procurement and Nonprocurement Procedures on Suspension and Debarment
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 507
    Reading Time:about 50 minutes

    The Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have finalized a rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This rule aims to align the procedures for suspension and debarment in both procurement and nonprocurement activities, following suggestions from the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee. The changes seek to enhance transparency and consistency across government suspension and debarment procedures by integrating minor procedural clarifications and updates for better due process, particularly focusing on communication and decision-making processes. These modifications are intended to standardize practices and simplify the understanding of these processes for contractors working with the federal government.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making rules easier to follow for businesses they work with, so everyone knows what's fair and clear. They're fixing how they tell people they can't work with them anymore if they don't follow the rules.
