ITEMS FROM THE FEDERAL REGISTER
1. Commerce/BIS Renews TDO Denying Export Privileges of Rossiya Airlines
(Source: 91 FR 69793, 5 Nov 2026)
AGENCY: Commerce Department; Bureau of Industry and Security
ACTION: Denial of Export Privileges: Rossiya Airlines.
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) renewed for one year its Temporary Denial Order (TDO) against Rossiya Airlines, finding an ongoing risk of Export Administration Regulations (EAR) violations. First imposed in May 2022 after Russia aviation sanctions took effect, the TDO has been repeatedly renewed because Rossiya continued operating U.S.-controlled aircraft and aircraft containing controlled U.S. content without required BIS authorization. BIS presented evidence that Rossiya repeatedly flew such aircraft on international routes to and from Russia and on domestic Russian flights, despite prior denial orders. No opposition was filed, and BIS determined Rossiya's violations remain continuous, deliberate, and likely to recur.
DATE: This Order is effective immediately and shall remain in effect for one year.
2. President Continues the National Emergency With Respect to Iran
(Source: 91 FR 69947, 5 Nov 2026)
AGENCY: Executive Office of the President
ACTION: Notice; Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran
SUMMARY: On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the President declared a national emergency with respect to Iran pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and took related steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the situation in Iran. Our relations with Iran have not yet normalized. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to Iran declared in Executive Order 12170.
DATE: Nov. 3, 2026
3. President Continues the National Emergency With Respect to Nicaragua
(Source: 91 FR 69951, 5 Nov 2026)
AGENCY: Executive Office of the President
ACTION: Notice; Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in Nicaragua
SUMMARY: The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent response by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on November 27, 2018, must continue in effect beyond November 27, 2026. Therefore I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13851 with respect to the situation in Nicaragua.
DATE: November 3, 2026
4. President Continues the National Emergency With Respect to Weapons of Mass Destruction
(Source: 91 FR 69949, 5 Nov 2026)
AGENCY: Executive Office of the President
ACTION: Notice; Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction
SUMMARY: The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12938, as amended.
DATE: November 3, 2026

12. Breaking Defense: “Republicans Have a Ticking Clock. What Can They Get Done on Defense?”
(Source: Breaking Defense News, 5 Nov 2026) [Excerpts]
Republicans face a narrow lame-duck window to advance FY2027 defense legislation after suffering major midterm losses that will hand Democrats control of Congress in January. Analysts say prospects for passing defense appropriations, reconciliation funding, or the Pentagon's $67 billion Iran-war supplemental request are poor, particularly because Senate appropriations require Democratic support. Some observers now expect delays into 2027 and warn of a possible government shutdown.
Democrats are preparing aggressive oversight efforts focused on the Iran war, defense spending, and alleged favoritism in Pentagon contracting. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also faces impeachment threats from some lawmakers, while speculation continues about a possible resignation and Senate appointment.
If budget negotiations slip into the next Congress, Democrats are expected to seek lower defense spending, enhanced oversight, and restrictions on future Iran-related military operations. [Full article]
13. Diaz: “Upcoming November 9 Deadline: USITC Requests Input on Section 338 Trade Authority”
(Source: Customs & International Trade Law Blog, 5 Nov 2026) [Editor’s Summary]
• Author: Jennifer Diaz, Esq., Diaz Trade Law LLP
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is requesting public comments on how to implement Section 338(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930, a rarely used law addressing discriminatory foreign trade practices.
The agency is considering procedures to identify foreign barriers that disadvantage U.S. commerce, gather information from affected businesses, and provide findings and recommendations to the President.
For exporters, the initiative could create a formal avenue to report discriminatory treatment abroad. For importers, it signals the potential future use of Section 338, which authorizes the President to impose additional duties of up to 50% on products from countries found to engage in discriminatory practices.
The notice does not impose new tariffs or restrictions. Instead, it seeks input on defining discriminatory conduct, collecting confidential business information, and evaluating complaints. . . . [Full article]
14. Expeditors News: “October 2026 Antidumping and Countervailing Duties Updates”
(Source: Expeditors News, 4 Nov 2026) [Editor’s Summary]

15. ST&R Trade Report: “FCC Limits Foreign Testing of Electronic Devices”
(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 5 Nov 2026) [Excerpts]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted final rules that alter its approach to the regulatory regime that governs the testing of all electronic devices that consumers in the U.S. use. Electronic devices must be tested at an FCC-recognized lab before they can be used or marketed in the U.S.
Starting 1 Dec 2028, the new rules will limit the FCC’s recognition of test labs to those located in the U.S. or in countries that grant U.S. labs reciprocal recognition.
Currently such countries include the following: . . .
The rules also adopt similar restrictions for telecommunications certification bodies and laboratory accreditation bodies, which codifies existing practice.

OPINION
16. Baker McKenzie: “2026 US Midterm Election Results: How Will Democratic Control of Both Chambers Impact Trade Issues”
(Source: Global Sanctions and Export Controls Blog, 4 Nov 2026) [Editor’s Summary]
• Principal Author: Bruce J. Linskens, Baker McKenzie
The 2026 midterm elections will shift control of both chambers of Congress to Democrats, reshaping oversight of U.S. trade policy but not fundamentally altering executive authority over tariffs, export controls, sanctions, or CFIUS.
Tariffs: Most current tariffs can remain without congressional approval because they rely on statutory authorities such as Sections 301, 232, 122, and 338. Democrats are more likely to pursue hearings, investigations, and oversight than repeal. Courts remain the primary near-term check on tariff actions.
Export Controls: Core export control policies are expected to remain intact, with bipartisan support for restrictions on China. Congress may push for tighter controls on advanced technologies, greater scrutiny of licensing decisions, and enhanced coordination with allies.
Sanctions: Democratic majorities are likely to increase pressure regarding Russia sanctions, while using oversight powers to review administration policies on Iran and Venezuela. Significant sanctions authority, however, remains with the executive branch.
CFIUS and Outbound Investment: Expect increased congressional scrutiny of foreign investment, supply-chain resilience, data security, and outbound investment restrictions involving China and strategic technologies.

17. Burns, Clif: “Company Agrees To $1.5M OFAC Penalty For Not Using Google”
(Source: Export Law blog, 5 Nov 2026) [Editor’s Summary]
• Author: Clif Burns, Clark Hill LLP
An OFAC enforcement release issued October 27, 2026, announced a $1.53 million settlement with a North Carolina company for nine apparent sanctions violations involving a blocked Russian end user, MMZA.
Although MMZA was not listed on the SDN List, it was majority-owned by Almaz Antey, a blocked entity, making MMZA blocked under OFAC’s 50 Percent Rule.
OFAC stated the company failed to conduct sufficient due diligence but did not explain what that would have entailed. In practice, a basic Internet search could have revealed MMZA’s connection to Almaz Antey.
Public sources identified MMZA as part of the Almaz Antey group, and Almaz Antey’s SDN status was readily discoverable. Once ownership was confirmed, the sanctions risk would have been clear.
The lesson is straightforward: when dealing with an unfamiliar customer or counterparty, always begin with a simple Internet search. Basic, publicly available information can provide critical sanctions compliance insights and help avoid costly violations. . . . [Full article]
18. ST&R Trade Report: “CBP Imposes Heightened Requirements for IORs and Customs Brokers”
(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 5 Nov 2026) [Editor’s Summary]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued an interim final rule, effective January 5, 2027, establishing new requirements for foreign importers of record (IORs), new verification duties for customs brokers, and stronger penalties for noncompliance.
The rule defines a U.S. IOR as a qualifying U.S. individual or entity meeting citizenship, ownership, or property-based criteria. U.S. IOR status must be declared at entry and may be verified by CBP.
Foreign IORs may no longer make formal or informal consumption entries unless they are validated under the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program or use a CTPAT-validated licensed customs broker. CBP may further restrict foreign IOR use of informal entry if risks to revenue, security, or public safety arise.
Customs brokers must verify whether clients qualify as U.S. IORs and cease filing entries for nonqualifying clients unless the broker is CTPAT-validated.
The rule also requires powers of attorney for customs business transactions and expands CBP’s ability to impose substantial penalties under 19 U.S.C. §1592, potentially up to the domestic value of the merchandise.
Comments are due by January 5, 2027; full broker compliance is expected by May 6, 2027. [Full article]
19. Troutman: “Thinking Inside the Box: Why the Fine Print in the Package May Decide the Path of a Tariff-Refund Class Action”
(Source: JD Supra, Troutman Pepper Locke, 5 Nov 2026) [Excerpts]
• Author: Ryan Last, Troutman Pepper Locke LLP
Key Points
On November 2, 2026, the Western District of Washington held in Hastings v. Microsoft Corp. that the Warranty & Agreement (W&A) included with an Xbox Series X requires individual arbitration of a proposed class action seeking a share of IEEPA tariff refunds and bars the plaintiff from suing on behalf of a class.
Because the Product Guide inside the Xbox box told purchasers they “must accept” the agreement and called out its arbitration and class waiver terms, the Western District of Washington found in Hastings that the customer had adequate notice and agreed by keeping and using the product.
Section 11 of the W&A, which covers disputes concerning a product’s “price,” led the court in Hastings to conclude that a claim that the product’s price was inflated falls within the arbitration clause.
When a plaintiff offers no evidence that his box differed, a declarant’s description of Microsoft’s standard packaging was enough for the court in Hastings to reject his argument that Microsoft had not proven the Product Guide was in his box.
Even after a class waiver like the one enforced in Hastings v. Microsoft Corp., plaintiffs’ firms may respond with mass arbitration demands, and the arbitration fees and filing costs that many consumer clauses impose on companies can quickly create settlement pressure.
20. Troutman: “Canada Tariff Reshuffle: 22 Products Out, 100 In Under the 50% Section 338 Duty”
(Source: Troutman Pepper Locke, 5 Nov 2026) [Excerpts]
• Author: Ryan Last, Troutman Pepper Locke LLP
Key Points:
A presidential proclamation dated October 23, 2026, removes 22 Canadian product subheadings from, and adds 100 to, the 50% ad valorem duty imposed under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 for goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after October 30, 2026.
The president may impose additional duties of up to 50% ad valorem on products of a country that discriminates against U.S. commerce, and may amend those duties whenever the public interest requires, under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
Although the Section 338 duty responds to Canada’s motor vehicle tariffs, most of the Canadian goods newly covered as of October 30, 2026, including sweetened cocoa powder, paints, carpets, and window air conditioners, fall outside the auto sector.
The HTSUS subheading, not the product descriptions in the proclamation’s annexes, determines whether the Section 338 duty applies to a Canadian product, because those descriptions are for information only.
Section 338 duties apply in addition to duties under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, so covered Canadian goods also bear ordinary duties and any Section 232 duties.
21. Volkov: “Can You Govern the AI You Can’t See?”
(Source: Volkov Law, 5 Nov 2026) [Editor’s Summary]
• Principal Author: Michael Volkov, Volkov Law Group LLC
You cannot govern AI you cannot see. That’s why the first step is not a policy. It’s an inventory. Once you’ve found every AI tool in your company, including the shadow ones, sort them into tiers.
High-risk tools that make decisions about people or money, with human review of every output. Moderate risk, customer-facing tools with sampling and disclosure. Low-risk internal productivity tools on approved platforms.
Then build your guardrails: a short, concrete, acceptable use policy that tells employees what they can and cannot paste in. Vendor diligence that asks who owns the model, where it’s hosted, and whether it trains on your data.
Verification scaled to risk, because in the Avianca case, the court sanctioned the lawyers, not the chatbot.
And an incident plan that covers AI-specific events like a data leak or a deepfake executive call.
Here’s the 90-day plan: First 30 days: see it. Inventory and brief the board. Next 30: govern it. Tier and adopt policy.
Final 30: use it. Pilot one compliance AI use case with validation. Govern first, deploy second. [Full article]

26. Bartlett's Unfamiliar Quotations
(Source: BrainyQuotes)
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (5 Nov 1850 – 20 Oct 1919; was an American author and poet. Her works include Poems of Passion and Solitude, which contains the lines “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.” Her autobiography, The Worlds and I, was published in 1918, a year before her death.)
- “To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.”
- “With every deed you are sowing a seed, though the harvest you may not see.”Will Durant (William James Durant; 5 Nov 1885 – 7 Nov 1981; was an American historian and philosopher, best known for his 11-volume work, The Story of Civilization, which details the history of Eastern and Western civilizations. It was written in collaboration with his wife, Ariel Durant, and published between 1935 and 1975. He was earlier noted for The Story of Philosophy, described as “a groundbreaking work that helped to popularize philosophy”)
- “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
- “Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty and dies with chaos.”
- “To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say.”
27. Today in History
(Source: History Channel)
1941: The order is given: Bomb Pearl Harbor. On November 5, 1941, the Combined Japanese Fleet receive Top-Secret Order No. 1: In just over a month's time, Pearl Harbor is to be bombed, along with Malaya (now known as Malaysia), the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines.
The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941, when the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service launched a surprise military strike against the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
In response, the United States declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941, one day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
