House Consumer Protection Subcommittee Chair Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., hopes for a bipartisan agreement with ranking member Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., on privacy legislation (see 1909060046). If one isn't reached, Schakowsky's prepared to move forward alone. “I’m more and more hopeful that we’re going to have a bipartisan bill, and once we confirm that, we can put out a draft for people to see,” Schakowsky told us last week. “If not, we’re still going to move forward, but I’m hopeful.”

FCC allies in Tuesday's federal court decision on the Communications Act Title II rollback order (see 1910010018) consider appeal unlikely. Petitioner allies are less sure. California and Vermont’s litigated net neutrality laws remain on hold, those states’ attorneys generals confirmed Wednesday.

USTelecom said ISP standoffs with Vermont and California will continue, even as those and other states seeking to enforce net neutrality rules repealed by the FCC said they're heartened by a Tuesday decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The court largely upheld the FCC’s 2018 order but ruled that the federal agency couldn’t pre-empt states (see 1910010018). The ruling also put the spotlight back on Congress’ net neutrality debate, gridlocked for months. Legislative leaders didn’t stray Tuesday from their existing positions. Some see that as a sign there’s unlikely to be much progress before the presidential election.
Diamond Tools Technology evaded antidumping duties on diamond sawblades from China, as alleged (see 1706280035), CBP said in a Sept. 17 final determination. After conferring with the Commerce Department through a scope referral, the agency found that substantial evidence supported the allegation. The law firm Wiley Rein lawyer Daniel Pickard filed the original allegation on behalf of the Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition in 2017.
CBP can sometimes correct mistaken duty assessments past the normal statutory time limit for reliquidation if it does so quickly enough after discovering the error, the Court of International Trade said in a Sept. 27 decision. In a case involving a court-approved settlement on the amount of antidumping duties owed on ironing tables from China, the trade court allowed CBP to reliquidate entries from Target and other companies that the agency had liquidated at the wrong rate, even though the 90-day period for reliquidation had already passed.
FCC Commissioners Jessica Rosenworcel and Geoffrey Starks said they have been frozen out of the process on changes to the order approving T-Mobile buying Sprint, circulated by Chairman Ajit Pai in August (see 1908140052).
