  • 2021-02365 — Petition for Waiver of Compliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 8479
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    Brightline West has asked the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver to bypass some specific railroad safety regulations pertaining to the new high-speed trainsets they plan to operate between California and Nevada. These electric trainsets, which Siemens Mobility will manufacture, will adhere to certain alternative safety standards instead of the current ones. Brightline claims these trainsets include advanced features that negate the need for traditional safety equipment. The FRA doesn't see the need for a public hearing to decide on this waiver because similar exemptions have been granted before. Interested individuals may submit comments or ask for a public hearing before March 22, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    Brightline West wants permission to use new, fast trains that don’t need all the usual safety gear, because they believe these trains are already super safe with new technology. People can share their thoughts or ask for a meeting about this until March 22, 2021, but no meeting is being planned because similar requests have been approved before.

  • 2025-03639 — Hexamethylenetetramine From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final Determination With Final Antidumping Duty Determination
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 11508
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that subsidies from the government of China are unfairly supporting manufacturers and exporters of hexamethylenetetramine, also known as hexamine. This investigation covers the year 2023, and interested parties can comment on this preliminary finding. Commerce proposes using adverse inferences due to a lack of cooperation from certain respondents and plans to align the final decision in this case with another related investigation set to conclude by July 14, 2025. The findings may affect import duties, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection is directed to suspend liquidation of affected goods.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce thinks that China is helping its companies make a chemical called hexamine in an unfair way, and this might change the taxes on hexamine coming into the U.S. They are still figuring it out and asking people what they think about it.
