New FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s decision to pull all items on circulation for a vote by commissioners wasn’t a surprise, industry officials said. Since taking office a week ago, President Donald Trump has pushed a deregulatory agenda and issued a regulatory freeze among a slew of executive orders on his first day (see 2501210070). Among the FCC items withdrawn was a controversial NPRM that former Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel circulated in March on banning bulk broadband billing in multi-tenant environments (see 2408010064).
The Commerce Department finalized its determination that imports of aluminum wire and cable, finished in South Korea and Vietnam using inputs from China, are circumventing AD/CVD orders on aluminum wire and cable from China (A-570-095/C-570-096), it said in notices published in the Jan. 27 Federal Register.
The Commerce Department issued its final determinations in its countervailing duty investigations on paper plates from China (C-570-165) and Vietnam (C-552-840).

The Commerce Department issued its final determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on paper plates from China (A-570-164), Thailand (A-549-849) and Vietnam (A-552-839). Cash deposit rates set in these final determinations take effect Jan. 28.
New FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has pulled all items on circulation for a vote by commissioners. “There are no Items on Circulation,” said a single line on the agency’s list, which was dated Friday. Among the items pulled was an NPRM that was seen as a preliminary step to an AWS-3 auction. It was not expected to be controversial (see 2501060044).
Antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations on erythritol from China will continue, after the International Trade Commission voted Jan. 24 that there is a “reasonable indication” that imports of the product are injuring U.S. industry, the ITC said in a news release. The Commerce Department will now consider whether to impose AD/CVD cash deposit requirements on erythritol in preliminary determinations, which are due March 10 for CVD and on or about May 22 for AD.
