On February 12, 2026, AIT and TECRO signed the Agreement Between the American Institute in Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States on Reciprocal Trade Between the United States of America and Taiwan (ART or Agreement). Both the MOU and the ART qualify for implementation under Executive Order 14346. The Secretary and Trade Representative are taking necessary and appropriate action to implement the MOU at this time. The Secretary and Trade Representative are not implementing the ART at this time as it has not yet entered into force. This notice amends the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) to implement the terms of the MOU pertaining to the modification of certain Section 232 tariffs applied to automobile parts, timber, lumber, and wood derivative products of Taiwan. In addition, the MOU states that the United States will remove derivative Section 232 steel, aluminum, and copper tariffs from aircraft components that are products of Taiwan.", "topics": "section_232_copper", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/28/2026-10571/implementing-certain-tariff-related-elements-of-a-trade-and-security-agreement-between-the-american", "source_id": "federal_register", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T15:05:34+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "federal_register", "name": "Federal Register API", "url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/28/2026-10571/implementing-certain-tariff-related-elements-of-a-trade-and-security-agreement-between-the-american", "registry_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "c2bc5ff376376774", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2026-05-27", "year": 2026, "doc_type": "notice", "title": "Energy Conservation Program: Notification of Petition for Waiver of Zhuhai Samyou Environmental Technology Co., Ltd.

More specifically, USTR seeks public comment on trade policies necessary to increase the domestic availability of mined, refined, and processed critical minerals; incentivize reshoring of the mining, processing, refining and production of critical minerals and their derivatives; and diversify the sources of mined, refined, and processed critical minerals and their derivatives among like-minded trading partners. In particular, comment is sought on the commitments necessary to establish a resilient and non-distorted marketplace among aligned trading partners, including in the context of a legally binding plurilateral agreement. USTR anticipates that such an agreement will include a commitment by all parties to implement minimum prices or other price mechanisms, with appropriate border measures, to ensure secure and fairly-priced markets among the parties to the agreement, in order to generate demand for critical minerals produced for market-based investments. USTR seeks comment in particular on appropriate price mechanisms that would enable investment and appropriate financial returns in the mining, processing, and refining of critical minerals.

That recalibration includes proposing to amend DOT's fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles for model years (MYs) 2022- 2026 and MYs 2027-2031. Consistent with statutory requirements, the fuel economy standards proposed in this rule are founded on light-duty vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel fuels, a category that includes non-plug-in hybrid vehicles. In formulating the proposed standards, NHTSA has not considered, consistent with law, the imputed fuel-economy performance of battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) or the electric operation of vehicles that use plug-in hybrid electric powertrains, nor compliance credits or adjustments to the two-cycle fuel economy test procedures to account for air conditioning and off-cycle technologies. NHTSA also is proposing to eliminate the inter-manufacturer credit trading system and to amend the light-duty vehicle fleet classification system to allocate vehicles into passenger and non-passenger automobile fleets appropriately, based on their attributes and capabilities, starting in MY 2028. Elimination of unlawful considerations, combined with several of the proposed changes, would significantly improve the capabilities of manufacturers to meet fuel economy standards, better align the program with Congressional intent, and reduce manufacturer incentives to design vehicles and add features that are not desired by American consumers and that have questionable real-world fuel economy benefits. NHTSA is therefore proposing to set fuel economy standards that increase from newly proposed MY 2022 standards at a rate of 0.5 percent per year through MY 2026, followed by 0.25 percent per year through MY 2031, with MY 2027 stringency established as a bridge between the two sets of standards. The reduced stringency increases in later years, coupled with a reevaluation of the coefficients that define the functions governing fuel economy standards, are intended to establish maximum feasible standards in a manner that gains real-world fuel-economy-benefits, while enabling the industry to adapt to the proposed substantial recalibration of the CAFE program. NHTSA projects that the amended standards would correspond to the industry fleetwide average for all light-duty vehicles of roughly 34.5 miles per gallon (mpg) in MY 2031.", "topics": "critical_minerals,foreign_entity_of_concern", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22014/the-safer-affordable-fuel-efficient-safe-vehicles-rule-iii-for-model-years-2022-to-2031-passenger", "source_id": "federal_register", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T15:05:34+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "federal_register", "name": "Federal Register API", "url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22014/the-safer-affordable-fuel-efficient-safe-vehicles-rule-iii-for-model-years-2022-to-2031-passenger", "registry_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "3043a44d4d47fc35", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2025-12-04", "year": 2025, "doc_type": "notice", "title": "Implementing Certain Tariff-Related Elements of the U.S.-Korea Strategic Trade and Investment Deal", "agency": "Trade Representative, Office of United States; Commerce Department; International Trade Administration", "abstract": "On November 13, 2025, the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) issued a Joint Fact Sheet reaffirming the historic announcement in July of the Korea Strategic Trade and Investment Deal (U.S.-ROK Deal), which reflects the strength and endurance of the U.S.- ROK Alliance.

The United States is heavily reliant on imports of certain mineral commodities from foreign sources, some of which are at risk of serious, sustained, and long-term supply chain disruptions. The United States' dependence on imports and the vulnerability of supply chains raise the potential for risks to national security, defense readiness, price stability, and economic prosperity and resilience. The Nation possesses vast mineral resources that can create jobs, fuel prosperity, and significantly reduce our reliance on foreign nations, and the United States is taking actions to facilitate domestic mineral production. The List of Critical Minerals guides strategies to secure the Nation's mineral supply chains. By this notice, the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), presents the final 2025 List of Critical Minerals and the methodology used to develop the List. Mineral criticality changes over time and therefore this final 2025 List of Critical Minerals is not a permanent list but will be dynamic and updated not less than biannually to reflect current data on supply, demand, and concentration of production, as well as current policy priorities.

The USG NSSCET reinforces the U.S. Government's support of a private sector-led, open, consensus-based international standards system, corresponding to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee decision that articulates and elaborates on principles that are fundamental to the development of an international standards: transparency; openness; impartiality and consensus; effectiveness and relevance; and coherence. To inform the USG NSSCET implementation, including how to best partner with relevant stakeholders, NIST is requesting information that will support the identification and prioritization of key activities that will optimize the USG NSSCET implementation and further enhance the U.S. Government's ability to support a private sector-led, open, consensus-based international standards system, to which the U.S. Government is an active stakeholder and participant.", "topics": "critical_minerals", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/11/06/2023-24444/request-for-information-on-implementation-of-the-united-states-government-national-standards", "source_id": "federal_register", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T15:05:34+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "federal_register", "name": "Federal Register API", "url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/11/06/2023-24444/request-for-information-on-implementation-of-the-united-states-government-national-standards", "registry_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "d89a4a68987898cc", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2023-10-30", "year": 2023, "doc_type": "rule", "title": "Long-Term Financial Assurance for Mining", "agency": "Agriculture Department; Forest Service", "abstract": "The Forest Service is amending its locatable minerals rules to provide mine operators with a broader array of options for securing financial assurance for funding reclamation work.

The amendments in this IFR also facilitate the increased volume of applications resulting from the new authorities and funding in the IRA and provide efficiencies in the loan processing.", "topics": "critical_minerals", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/05/30/2023-11104/loan-guarantees-for-clean-energy-projects", "source_id": "federal_register", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T15:05:34+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "federal_register", "name": "Federal Register API", "url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/05/30/2023-11104/loan-guarantees-for-clean-energy-projects", "registry_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "a59f16e2966bef90", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2023-05-24", "year": 2023, "doc_type": "presidential document", "title": "World Trade Week, 2023", "agency": "Executive Office of the President", "abstract": null, "topics": "critical_minerals", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/05/24/2023-11206/world-trade-week-2023", "source_id": "federal_register", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T15:05:34+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "federal_register", "name": "Federal Register API", "url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/05/24/2023-11206/world-trade-week-2023", "registry_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "a83c9932fd42d48e", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2023-05-18", "year": 2023, "doc_type": "bill:S", "title": "Uranium Miners and Workers Act of 2023", "agency": "US Congress", "abstract": "Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.", "topics": "uranium,miners", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/118/s/1681?format=json", "source_id": "congress_gov", "source_url": "https://api.congress.gov/", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T16:09:11+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "congress_gov", "name": "Congress.gov API v3", "url": "https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/118/s/1681?format=json", "registry_url": "https://api.congress.gov/", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "0a40d1f91e668dea", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2023-05-18", "year": 2023, "doc_type": "bill:HR", "title": "Uranium Miners and Workers Act of 2023", "agency": "US Congress", "abstract": "Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Appropriations, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.", "topics": "uranium,miners", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/118/hr/3497?format=json", "source_id": "congress_gov", "source_url": "https://api.congress.gov/", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T16:09:11+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "congress_gov", "name": "Congress.gov API v3", "url": "https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/118/hr/3497?format=json", "registry_url": "https://api.congress.gov/", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "f21af5fbddd66cda", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2023-05-18", "year": 2023, "doc_type": "bill:HR", "title": "Clean Energy Minerals Reform Act of 2023", "agency": "US Congress", "abstract": "Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.", "topics": "minerals", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/118/hr/3495?format=json", "source_id": "congress_gov", "source_url": "https://api.congress.gov/", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T16:09:11+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "congress_gov", "name": "Congress.gov API v3", "url": "https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill/118/hr/3495?format=json", "registry_url": "https://api.congress.gov/", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "0a4199de4121b161", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2023-05-18", "year": 2023, "doc_type": "proposed rule", "title": "Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System: Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals From Electric Utilities; Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments", "agency": "Environmental Protection Agency", "abstract": "On April 17, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) promulgated national minimum criteria for existing and new coal combustion residuals (CCR) landfills and existing and new CCR surface impoundments.

The Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda), published in the fall and spring, helps agencies fulfill all of these requirements. All federal regulatory agencies have chosen to publish their regulatory agendas as part of this publication.

More specifically, NHTSA is proposing new CAFE standards for model years 2022 through 2026 and amending its 2021 model year CAFE standards because they are no longer maximum feasible standards, and EPA is proposing to amend its carbon dioxide emissions standards for model years 2021 through 2025 because they are no longer appropriate and reasonable in addition to establishing new standards for model year 2026. The preferred alternative is to retain the model year 2020 standards (specifically, the footprint target curves for passenger cars and light trucks) for both programs through model year 2026, but comment is sought on a range of alternatives discussed throughout this document.

This final rule revises the CCL to implement changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar List) maintained and agreed to by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA) at the December 2014 WA Plenary Meeting (the Plenary). The twentieth Plenary meeting of the Wassenaar Arrangement was held in Vienna on 2 to 3 December 2014. The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability. Wassenaar Participating States agreed to new export controls in a number of areas, including spacecraft equipment (Category 9) and technology for fly-by-wire/flight-by-light systems (Category 7), while texts for the control of machine tools (Category 2) and optical equipment for military utility and fiber laser components (Category 6) were substantially revised. In addition, significant reviews of several categories resulted in the deletion of obsolete controls relating to vessels (Category 8) and in refined controls on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles--UAVs (Category 9), specifically taking note of the substantial progress of technology in that area. Wassenaar Participating States modified controls in a number of other areas, such as equipment for production of electronic devices (Category 3), certain telecommunications equipment where encryption and other \"information security\" functionality is limited to operations, administration, or maintenance (OAM) tasks (Category 5P2), and general purpose computers or servers where standard \"information security\" functionality is provided by embedded mass market microprocessors (CPUs) or operating systems (also Category 5P2). This rule amends the CCL by implementing the changes agreed to by the WA at the Plenary by revising 42 Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs), adding one ECCN and removing one ECCN, as well as amending the General Technology Note, WA reporting requirements, adding seven (7) definitions and revising six (6) definitions in the EAR. This rule also revises 3 ECCNs to add License Exception CIV eligibility for Anisotropic plasma dry etching equipment and related software and technology for the development and production of this equipment, as a result of BIS' foreign availability assessment. Country Group A column 1, the Coordinating Committee (CoCom) member countries, is replaced with the successor national security export regime the Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States. In addition, the second national security column and the second regional stability column of the Commerce Country Chart are amended to harmonize with each other, as well as make changes based on the risk of diversion to unauthorized end user, end uses or destinations.", "topics": "rare_earth", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/05/21/2015-10579/wassenaar-arrangement-2014-plenary-agreements-implementation-and-country-policy-amendments", "source_id": "federal_register", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T15:05:34+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "federal_register", "name": "Federal Register API", "url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/05/21/2015-10579/wassenaar-arrangement-2014-plenary-agreements-implementation-and-country-policy-amendments", "registry_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "9e2b54f8555e21bf", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2015-05-20", "year": 2015, "doc_type": "bill:S", "title": "A bill to reinstate certain mining claims in the State of Alaska.", "agency": "US Congress", "abstract": "Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

The language governing determination of Expected Environmental Concentrations (EECs) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is altered to make clear the shot size and number of shot to be used in calculating the EECs. We propose to specify the pH levels to be used in calculating the EEC in water. We also propose to move the requirement for in vitro testing to Tier 1, which will allow us to better assess applications and minimize the need for Tier 2 applications.

issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act, and EPA is proposing greenhouse gas emissions standards under the Clean Air Act. These standards apply to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium- duty passenger vehicles, and represent a continued harmonized and consistent National Program. Under the National Program for model years 2017-2025, automobile manufacturers would be able to continue building a single light-duty national fleet that satisfies all requirements under both programs while ensuring that consumers still have a full range of vehicle choices. EPA is also proposing a minor change to the regulations applicable to MY 2012-2016, with respect to air conditioner performance and measurement of nitrous oxides.", "topics": "rare_earth",

Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to include jurisdiction over discrete sources of radium- 226, accelerator-produced radioactive materials, and discrete sources of naturally occurring radioactive material, as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), which was signed into law on August 8, 2005. The EPAct expanded the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 definition of Byproduct material to include any discrete source of radium-226, any material made radioactive by use of a particle accelerator, and any discrete source of naturally occurring radioactive material, other than source material, that the Commission, in consultation with other Federal officials named in the EPAct, determines would pose a similar threat to the public health and safety or the common defense and security as a discrete source of radium-226, that are extracted or converted after extraction for use for a commercial, medical, or research activity. In so doing, these materials were placed under the NRC's regulatory authority. The EPAct also mandated that the Commission, after consultation with the States and other stakeholders, issue final regulations establishing requirements that the Commission determines necessary under the EPAct. This rulemaking effort has been undertaken in response to that mandate and includes significant contributions from many States that have regulated the naturally occurring and accelerator-produced radioactive material, the Organization of Agreement States, Inc., the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc. (CRCPD), and other stakeholders. In addition, this final rule was informed and guided by the CRCPD's applicable Suggested State Regulations for the Control of Radiation.

(Dine), and Dosko Co., Ltd. (Dosko)) for the POR because they declined to participate in this administrative review. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. In addition, we have preliminarily determined to rescind the review with respect to the following companies because these companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR: BNG Steel Co.

Of immediate interest is low-activity mixed waste (LAMW). This waste is both chemically hazardous according to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and is radioactive with low radionuclide concentrations under the purview of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA). Such waste is regulated and managed under both authorities but under certain conditions, one authority may be sufficient to provide public health and environmental protection. In particular, given appropriate limits on radionuclide concentrations in LAMW, disposal of LAMW in RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste landfills, with their prescribed engineering design and associated RCRA requirements (e.g., waste treatment, waste form), may provide protection of public health and the environment. This document focuses on effective use of the RCRA-C disposal technology for the disposal of LAMW. We (the Environmental Protection Agency) seek comment on standards that would codify this approach and provide greater flexibility for the safe disposal of LAMW. Beyond LAMW, however, there is a wide variety of radioactive wastes with relatively low concentrations of radioactivity; these wastes are not considered mixed wastes because they are not regulated under both RCRA and the AEA. Examples of such low-activity waste include certain AEA radioactive wastes, certain wastes from the extraction of uranium or thorium (such as those generated by the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP)), a variety of wastes that fall into the technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) category, and certain decommissioning wastes. Some AEA wastes are deferred from regulation, such as \"unimportant quantities\" of source material with less than 0.05 percent uranium or thorium, and would be characterized as another form of low-activity radioactive waste (LARW, of which low-activity mixed waste would be a subset). Some radioactive wastes are regulated strictly down to the last atom while other low-activity wastes are regulated primarily for their chemically hazardous constituents. Some of these wastes may be unregulated or regulated under a framework lacking clarity and consistency. We seek comment on possible regulatory and non-regulatory options to provide a more coherent framework to manage LARW, and information to improve the scientific characterization of such wastes. We envision that any standards promulgated to address the use of the RCRA-C disposal technology for LAMW (or, more broadly, LARW) would offer a new disposal option for these wastes. This would provide the flexibility to allow States, disposal facility operators, and waste generators to account for specific State or local regulatory constraints and economic considerations in determining whether they would choose to implement this disposal option for protective management and disposal of these wastes.", "topics": "rare_earth", "value_type": "reported", "source_record_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/11/18/03-28651/approaches-to-an-integrated-framework-for-management-and-disposal-of-low-activity-radioactive-waste", "source_id": "federal_register", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "retrieved_at": "2026-11-03T15:05:34+00:00", "original_language": "en", "reliability": "official", "confidence": "documented", "source": {"id": "federal_register", "name": "Federal Register API", "url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/11/18/03-28651/approaches-to-an-integrated-framework-for-management-and-disposal-of-low-activity-radioactive-waste", "registry_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov", "reliability": "official", "sample": false}}, {"doc_id": "a0faa0013df0df15", "jurisdiction": "US", "date": "2003-11-17", "year": 2003, "doc_type": "bill:S", "title": "A bill to provide for increased energy savings and environmental benefits through the increased use of recovered mineral component in federally funded projects involving procurement of cement or concrete.", "agency": "US Congress", "abstract": "Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders.
