    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C.— </strong>In a continued effort to expedite the build out of a resilient and reliable electric grid, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced 20 projects across 16 states selected to receive up to $371 million to accelerate the permitting of high-voltage, interstate transmission projects. These projects, funded by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, will also support community infrastructure projects along major new and upgraded transmissions lines, including upgrading public school buildings and emergency response facilities. Administered by DOE's Grid Deployment Office, today’s <a href="https://www.energy.gov/gdo/TSED" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Transmission Siting and Economic Development (TSED)</a> grants will help advance at least 16 high-impact transmission lines across the country supporting the deployment of reliable and affordable energy for consumers and creating good-paying jobs.  </p><p>“Today, every pocket of the country is experiencing the grueling impact of extreme weather and there’s no doubt that we must expand our transmission grid to get more clean, resilient power to more people, in more places,” said <strong>U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm</strong>. “Now, thanks to the Biden Harris Administration, we are accelerating transmission expansion all while strengthening local communities, creating good-paying jobs across the nation.”   </p><p>The Biden-Harris Administration is taking a wide range of actions to expand and improve electric transmission systems, including streamlining federal permitting and deploying billions of dollars to strengthen grid infrastructure. To complement these unprecedented federal actions TSED will support permitting progress at the state and local level and ensure that communities hosting new and upgraded transmission infrastructure benefit directly. Today’s TSED selections will help uplift communities through economic development investments that generate benefits in communities impacted by transmission development, while also accelerating project reviews by siting authorities. </p><p>Selected projects include support for: </p><ul><li><strong>Providing state and local siting agencies with the resources, tools, and capacity they need to complete timely review of transmission projects, which strengthens robust regional and interregional planning.</strong> <ul><li>Example<strong>: Illinois Commerce Commission ($8 million): </strong>The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) will launch a comprehensive new initiative to streamline and improve the transmission siting process for several Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) Long Range Transmission Planning Tranche 1 Projects in Illinois, which were planned with significant state input using MISO’s robust multi-factor regional transmission planning process. In addition to improving community engagement, the ICC will also digitize records and upgrade public-facing databases that house data on environmental and cultural resources along the two transmission lines under review. </li></ul></li><li><strong>Upgrading critical infrastructure in communities impacted by transmission development.</strong> <ul><li>Example: <strong>Roosevelt Custer Regional Council ($710,000) </strong>will use grant funds to expand fire department facilities in a rural community in North Dakota to improve community resilience.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Investing in community upgrades by developing community and tourism attractions, protecting cultural and heritage landmarks, and conserving lands identified by the community as highly valued. </strong> <ul><li>Example: <strong>Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources ($42.3 million)</strong> will be deploying a microgrid at a school in Barnstable, Massachusetts to reduce energy expenses, improve indoor air quality, and strengthen community resilience in emergency situations. </li></ul></li><li><strong>Supporting localized workforce development and training in communities impacted by transmission development. </strong>Selected projects will support the creation of training, apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and adult-education programs:<ul><li>Example: <strong>Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians ($5.6 million)</strong>, located in California, will support community workforce development with education, training, and professional development in ocean and coastal policy and science.</li></ul></li></ul><p><a href="https://www.energy.gov/gdo/TSED" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View the full list of selections.</a></p><p>DOE expects to release the second TSED funding opportunity in Fall 2024.   </p><p>Learn more about the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/gdo/grid-deployment-office" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Grid Deployment Office</a>. </p>

Companies that existed before 2024 have until January 1, 2025 to file, while companies created or registered in 2024 must file within 90 days of receiving creation/registration notice.

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C. </strong>— The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced it will enter into realty negotiations with Hecate Energy, LLC for a solar project capable of delivering up to one-gigawatt of clean energy within an 8,000-acre area of DOE owned land at the Hanford Site as part of the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/management/osp/cleanup-clean-energy-expanding-clean-energy-generation-doe-lands" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cleanup to Clean Energy</a> initiative. The Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative aims to repurpose parts of DOE-owned lands—portions of which were previously used in the nation’s nuclear weapons program—to support the growth of America’s clean energy economy. Today’s announcement reinforces the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government approach to leveraging federal properties to increase the deployment of clean power through the buildout of utility-scale clean energy projects.    </p><p>“Since the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration, we’ve added nearly 90 gigawatts of solar capacity to the grid—enough to power roughly 13 million homes—and we're building on this historic progress with another massive solar project," said <strong>U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. </strong>“With today's announcement, DOE is transforming thousands of acres of land at our Hanford site into a thriving center of carbon-free solar power generation, leading by example in cleaning up our environment and delivering new economic opportunities to local communities.” </p><p>“Through today’s announcement by the Department of Energy, the Biden-Harris Administration continues to lead by example on building a clean energy economy and carbon pollution-free future,” said <strong>Brenda Mallory, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality</strong>. “Expanding clean energy generation creates good-paying jobs, protects the environment, and supports healthier communities across the country.” </p><p>Working with a diverse range of entities, including industry, other Federal agencies, tribes, state and local officials, DOE, through its <a href="https://www.energy.gov/management/osp/cleanup-clean-energy-expanding-clean-energy-generation-doe-lands" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative</a>, is helping achieve President Biden’s ambitious climate goals and responding to the directive in <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/12/08/fact-sheet-president-biden-signs-executive-order-catalyzing-americas-clean-energy-economy-through-federal-sustainability/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Executive Order 14057</a> and the accompanying <a href="https://www.sustainability.gov/federalsustainabilityplan/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Federal Sustainability Plan</a> for agencies to use their properties for the development of new clean electricity generation.   </p><p>Hecate Energy, LLC will have the opportunity to negotiate a realty agreement for up to 8,000 acres at Hanford that DOE is making available for development of a gigawatt-scale solar photovoltaic system with battery storage. The selection was made through a competitive qualifications-based process for evaluating and ranking proposals. The selection comes after public comments on a request for information in August 2023, a Cleanup to Clean Energy information day at Hanford in September 2023, and a request for qualifications issued in March 2024. DOE and Hecate Energy will undergo a negotiation process for a realty agreement, and DOE may cancel negotiations and rescind the selection for any reason during that time.       </p><p>In December 2021, President Biden signed <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/12/08/fact-sheet-president-biden-signs-executive-order-catalyzing-americas-clean-energy-economy-through-federal-sustainability/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Executive Order 14057</a>, which calls on agencies to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2030 and directs them to authorize use of their real property assets, including land for the development of new clean electricity generation and storage through leases, grants, permits, or other mechanisms.  </p><p>Since <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-launches-first-ever-cleanup-clean-energy-initiative-explore-generating-clean-energy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">announcing</a> the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative in July 2023, last year, DOE has announced the selection of developers for carbon pollution-free electricity projects in <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-announces-first-projects-under-new-cleanup-clean-energy-initiative" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Idaho</a>, <a href="https://www.energy.gov/nnsa/articles/nnsa-selects-estuary-clean-energy-solar-project-nevada-national-security-site" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Nevada</a>, <a href="https://www.energy.gov/em/articles/doe-selects-ameresco-inc-clean-energy-project-savannah-river-site" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">South Carolina</a>, and now in Washington state. Home to the Hanford Site, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a vibrant community and Tribal Nations, this part of Washington state has been critical to our nation for decades and is well positioned to become a center of carbon-free power solutions. </p><p>In addition to supporting the Administration’s clean energy goals, this project has the potential to benefit the Hanford site, Tribal Nations, and surrounding communities, while complementing local efforts to plan for the future. DOE will complete environmental review and applicable regulatory processes, and continue to communicate and partner with industry, Tribal Nations, communities, stakeholders, regulators, and others as clean energy projects are developed on DOE land. </p><p>More information on the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative can be found <a href="https://www.energy.gov/management/osp/cleanup-clean-energy-expanding-clean-energy-generation-doe-lands" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>.    </p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In a world that often feels overwhelmed by challenges and negativity, it is easy to forget the profound impact that small acts of kindness can have. Yet, it is these very acts that form the foundation of a compassionate and connected society. Each one of us has the ability to contribute to this foundation in simple yet meaningful ways.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mais Vardanian, a 29 year old Armenian blogger, calls himself an ambassador of love and kindness. He was born in Erevan, Armenia. Lived in Ukraine and Russia. 2022, was a year of dramatic change for millions of post Soviet Union Countries' citizens. At that time Mais lived and worked in Moscow, Russia. But due to political and economic turbulence he was forced to leave everything behind and move to his motherland - Armenia. It was time of financial struggle, unfortunate business failures and deep depression. Internet and TV were loaded with negativity and hatred.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One day he was sitting in a coffee place watching people walking by. The sadness, tiredness, and depression on their faces were echoing in his heart. Moved by emotions, he ran to a flower shop nearby, bought a rose on his last money and gave it to an elderly woman who seemed to be overwhelmed with her life too. Her reaction, her tears and smile turned the entire world for Mais upside down. That day became a milestone, an ignition of his new life.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Today he travels countries with his mission to spread kindness through simple gift giving actions. All he asks in return is to smile. Just a smile.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It may seem insignificant, but this small gesture can ripple outwards, brightening someone’s day and creating a chain of positivity. Smiling is a universal language, transcending barriers and fostering a sense of connection.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>His movement #kindnesswithmais rapidly becoming a popular trend among bloggers worldwide. Mais believes that kindness is the foundation of our entire existence. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"People laugh at me sometimes, saying that I should get a real job. But what can be more important than engaging people in the healing realm of love and kindness? This is what we need today more than ever. People are lacking compassion to each other. I'm here to evoke it in them. Unity and compassion will lead us to peace and prosperity.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sharing compassion with those around us can take many forms. It can be as straightforward as listening to a friend who needs to talk, offering words of encouragement to a colleague, or volunteering our time to help those in need. Compassion creates a safe space where people feel understood and supported. It fosters resilience and nurtures a sense of hope, which is essential for a thriving community."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This heart to heart conversation with Mais made us to take another look at what kindness really is.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kindness is not just about grand gestures. It is woven into the fabric of our daily lives through the little things we do. Holding the door open for someone, letting a car merge in front of us in traffic, or offering a seat to someone on the bus are all small acts that contribute to a more considerate and caring world. These actions demonstrate respect and empathy, qualities that are fundamental to human relationships.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Moreover, kindness has a remarkable way of returning to us. When we give of ourselves, we often find that we receive more in return. This is not about seeking rewards, but about the natural flow of goodwill. Acts of kindness elevate our own spirits and create a positive feedback loop, encouraging more kindness in return.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It is important to remember that everyone has the capacity to be kind. You don’t need to have abundant resources or special skills; all it takes is a willingness to make a difference. By choosing to be kind, we can transform our communities and, ultimately, our world.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In times of crisis or uncertainty, kindness becomes even more crucial. It acts as a balm, healing wounds and bridging divides. It reminds us of our shared humanity and the power we hold to uplift one another. Through kindness, we can create a world where empathy and understanding prevail over division and discord.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Let us, therefore, commit to nurturing kindness in our everyday lives. Let us smile at strangers, help those in need, and share our compassion freely. In doing so, we build a foundation of kindness that supports and strengthens us all. Together, we can create a world where every act of kindness, no matter how small, contributes to a greater good, fostering a future filled with hope, connection, and love.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<time datetime="2024-07-16T14:30:00Z">July 16, 2024</time>
<p><em>Treasury Takes Coordinated Action Against Cartel Fraudsters Targeting U.S. Owners of Timeshares in Mexico, Including the Elderly</em></p><p>WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned three Mexican accountants and four Mexican companies linked, directly or indirectly, to timeshare fraud led by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG). Concurrently, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a <a href="https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/FinCEN-Joint-Notice-Timeshare-Mexico-508C-FINAL.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Notice</a>, jointly with OFAC and FBI, to financial institutions that provides an overview of timeshare fraud schemes in Mexico associated with CJNG and other Mexico-based transnational criminal organizations.</p><p>“Cartel fraudsters run sophisticated teams of professionals who seem perfectly normal on paper or on the phone – but in reality, they’re money launderers expertly trained in scamming U.S. citizens,” said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. “Unsolicited calls and emails may seem legitimate, but they're actually made by cartel-supported criminals. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Treasury and our partners are deploying all tools available to disrupt this nefarious activity, which funds things like deadly drug trafficking and human smuggling, and we encourage the public to use our resources to stay vigilant against these threats.”</p><p>CJNG, a violent Mexico-based transnational criminal organization, traffics a significant proportion of the illicit fentanyl and other deadly drugs that enter the United States. OFAC coordinated this action with the Government of Mexico, including its financial intelligence unit, Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF), as well as U.S. Government partners—FinCEN, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Drug Enforcement Administration.</p><p>These transnational criminal organizations operate call centers in Mexico with scammers impersonating U.S.-based third-party timeshare brokers, attorneys, or sales representatives. The scammers target and defraud U.S. owners of timeshares in Mexico through complex and often yearslong telemarketing, impersonation, and advance fee schemes, including timeshare exit, re-rent, and investment scams. Victims of timeshare fraud in Mexico are often targeted again after these scams in re-victimization schemes where perpetrators impersonate U.S.-based law firms and U.S., Mexican, and international authorities. The victims often send payments to the scammers through wire transfers via U.S. correspondent banks to Mexican shell companies with accounts at Mexican banks or brokerage houses (<em>casas de bolsa</em>) before the ill-gotten funds are further laundered in Mexico through additional shell companies and trusts (<em>fideicomisos)</em> controlled by cartel members, their family members, or third-party money launderers, such as complicit accountants and other professionals. </p><p>The joint Notice provides the methodologies, financial typologies, and red flag indicators associated with timeshare fraud in Mexico to help financial institutions identify and report suspicious activity to FinCEN and law enforcement. Financial institutions with customers who are victims of timeshare fraud in Mexico are encouraged to file a complaint with federal law enforcement to activate <a href="https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/RRP%20Fact%20Sheet%20Notice%20FINAL%20508.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FinCEN’s Rapid Response Program</a> to potentially interdict and recover the fraudulently stolen funds in partnership with Mexico’s UIF. </p><h3>ORIGINS OF CJNG TIMESHARE FRAUD</h3><p>Over a decade ago, Mexican attorney and businessman Omar Aguirre Barragan (Aguirre)—now deceased—learned how to conduct timeshare fraud from Puerto Vallarta-based fraudsters, including Americans. In about 2012, Aguirre educated CJNG about timeshare fraud and sought its support in taking over this highly lucrative scheme from rivals in Puerto Vallarta and elsewhere. Eventually, CJNG took more direct control and cut out Aguirre as an unnecessary middleman.</p><h3>EXPOSING AND DISRUPTING CJNG TIMESHARE FRAUD</h3><p>In 2023, OFAC announced three actions sanctioning a total of 50 individuals and entities linked, directly or indirectly, to CJNG’s timeshare fraud activities. On <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1315" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">March 2, 2023</a>, OFAC sanctioned eight Mexican companies pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059. On <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1443" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">April 27, 2023</a>, OFAC sanctioned seven Mexican individuals and 19 Mexican companies pursuant to E.O. 14059. On <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1936" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">November 30, 2023</a>, OFAC sanctioned three Mexican individuals and 13 Mexican companies pursuant to E.O. 14059.</p><p>Building on the three actions taken in 2023, today OFAC sanctioned additional Mexican individuals and companies pursuant to E.O. 14059 that are linked, directly or indirectly, to CJNG’s timeshare activities. These individuals and entities are located in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, which is a CJNG strategic stronghold for drug trafficking and various other illicit activities.  </p><p><a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/933016/download?inline" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG)" class="align-left" height="366" loading="lazy" src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/jy2465-figure1.jpg" width="469"/></a>Today, OFAC sanctioned Mexican accountants <strong>Griselda Margarita Arredondo Pinzon</strong> (<strong>Arredondo</strong>), <strong>Xeyda Del Refugio Foubert Cadena </strong>(<strong>Foubert</strong>), and <strong>Emiliano Sanchez Martinez</strong> (<strong>Sanchez</strong>) pursuant to E.O. 14059 for being owned, controlled, or directed by, or having acted or purported to act for on behalf of, directly or indirectly, CJNG, a person sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059. These Puerto Vallarta-based accountants assist CJNG’s timeshare fraud activities and have familial relationships with previously designated persons. Arredondo is the half-sister of senior CJNG member Julio Cesar Montero Pinzon (a.k.a. “El Tarjetas”), whom OFAC designated pursuant to E.O. 14059 on <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0803" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">June 2, 2022</a>. Foubert is Sanchez’s spouse and is the sister of Manuel Alejandro Foubert Cadena, a Mexican attorney linked to CJNG’s timeshare activities whom OFAC designated on November 30, 2023. </p><p> Also today, OFAC sanctioned four Mexican companies pursuant to E.O. 14059: <strong>Constructora Sandgris, S. de R.L. de C.V.</strong>—purported to be engaged in wholesale trade—for being owned, controlled, or directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Arredondo, a person sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059. Additionally, OFAC sanctioned <strong>Pacific Axis Real Estate, S.A. de C.V.</strong> and <strong>Realty &amp; Maintenance BJ, S.A. de C.V.</strong>—purported to be engaged in real estate activities—for being owned, controlled, or directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Foubert, a person sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059. Finally, OFAC sanctioned <strong>Bona Fide Consultores FS S.A.S.</strong>, an accounting firm, for being owned, controlled, or directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Sanchez, a person sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059. </p><h3>OTHER ACTIONS AGAINST CJNG</h3><p>On <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jl10020" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">April 8, 2015</a>, OFAC sanctioned CJNG pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) for playing a significant role in international narcotics trafficking. On <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0535" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">December 15, 2021</a>, OFAC also designated CJNG pursuant to E.O. 14059. In other actions, OFAC has sanctioned numerous CJNG-linked individuals and companies pursuant to both the Kingpin Act and E.O. 14059 that were engaged in various commercial activities and multiple individuals who played critical roles in CJNG’s drug trafficking, money laundering, and corruption. Many recent actions have focused on CJNG’s strategic stronghold of Puerto Vallarta. OFAC has sanctioned the following senior CJNG members based in Puerto Vallarta: Carlos Andres Rivera Varela (a.k.a. “La Firma”), Francisco Javier Gudino Haro (a.k.a. “La Gallina”), and the aforementioned Julio Cesar Montero Pinzon (a.k.a. “El Tarjetas”). These three individuals are part of a CJNG enforcement group based in Puerto Vallarta that orchestrates assassinations of rivals and politicians using high-powered weaponry. </p><h3>FBI INFORMATION ON TIMESHARE FRAUD</h3><p>According to FBI, approximately 6,000 U.S. victims reported losing nearly $300 million between 2019 and 2023 to timeshare fraud schemes in Mexico; however, this figure likely underestimates total losses, as FBI believes the vast majority of victims do not report the scam due to embarrassment and other reasons. Timeshare fraud scammers may impersonate U.S. or Mexican government authorities, including <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/931466/download?inline" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">OFAC</a>. </p><p>For more information, please visit FBI’s <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/victim-services/national-crimes-and-victim-resources/timeshare-fraud" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">timeshare fraud resource page</a> or view FBI New York’s public service announcement <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/video-repository/timeshare-fraud-psa-061124.mp4/view" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">video</a> featuring a victim of timeshare fraud. </p><p>Victims of timeshare fraud are encouraged to file a complaint with FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center by visiting <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.ic3.gov</a>. For elderly victims, financial institutions may also refer their customers to the Department of Justice’s <a href="https://ovc.ojp.gov/program/stop-elder-fraud/providing-help-restoring-hope" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">National Elder Fraud Hotline</a> at 833-FRAUD-11 or 833-372-8311.   </p><h3>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS</h3><p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons. U.S. persons may face civil or criminal penalties for violations of E.O. 14059 and the Kingpin Act. Non-U.S. persons are also prohibited from causing or conspiring to cause U.S. persons to wittingly or unwittingly violate U.S. sanctions, as well as engaging in conduct that evades U.S. sanctions. OFAC’s <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/7566/download?inline" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines</a> provide more information regarding OFAC’s enforcement of U.S. sanctions, including the factors that OFAC generally considers when determining an appropriate response to an apparent violation.</p><p>Today’s action is part of a whole-of-government effort to counter the global threat posed by the trafficking of illicit drugs into the United States that is causing the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans annually, as well as countless more non-fatal overdoses. OFAC, in coordination with its U.S. government partners and foreign counterparts, and in support of President Biden’s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/08/fact-sheet-president-bidens-unity-agenda-for-the-nation/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Unity Agenda</a>, will continue to hold accountable those individuals and businesses involved in the manufacturing and sale of illicit drugs. </p><p>The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the SDN List, but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law. The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior. For information concerning the process for seeking removal from an OFAC list, including the SDN List, please refer to <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/faqs/897" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">OFAC’s Frequently Asked Question 897</a>.  For detailed information on the process to <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/specially-designated-nationals-list-sdn-list/filing-a-petition-for-removal-from-an-ofac-list" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">submit a request for removal from an OFAC sanctions list</a>.</p><p><a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions/20240716" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">More information on the individuals and entities designated today</a>.</p><p><a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/933016/download?inline" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View a chart on the entities designated today</a>.</p><p>###</p>

<p>WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury yesterday hosted a Transition Finance Dialogue with representatives from a range of financial institutions, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders about how financial institutions can support or enable the net-zero transition. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen and Ethan Zindler, Climate Counselor to the Secretary, highlighted Treasury’s recent work to encourage financial institutions and other market participants to realize the opportunities created by the transition to clean energy. Treasury officials then engaged participants about overcoming challenges in defining, measuring, and scaling transition finance, as well as the opportunities for mobilizing private finance for the clean energy transition through the Inflation Reduction Act. The discussion was part of Treasury’s ongoing engagement with financial sector stakeholders committed to supporting and expediting the transition to a low-carbon economy. </p><p>###</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<time datetime="2024-07-12T18:48:00Z">July 12, 2024</time>
<p><em>As Prepared for Delivery </em></p><p>I am excited to have the opportunity to welcome you to the Freedman’s Bank Summer Symposium, which I am very glad Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo and many of my colleagues are able to attend in person.</p><p>The Freedman’s Bank Forum was named for the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company, commonly called Freedman’s Bank. It was a private corporation chartered by the U.S. government in 1865 to provide newly emancipated Black Americans with financial tools for building security and wealth and was located where part of the Treasury Department now stands. Unfortunately, the Financial Panic of 1873, mismanagement, and other challenges led to the Bank’s closure, leaving tens of thousands of formerly enslaved people with millions in losses instead of their-newly established savings.</p><p>Under this Administration, Treasury has worked to realize the unfulfilled promise of Freedman’s Bank. It is clear that the economy has historically not worked well for Black families, communities, and businesses. We are committed to changing this: All Americans deserve opportunity, and unlocking the potential of those who have been overlooked and underestimated is essential to increasing our country’s economic strength.</p><p>Let me highlight just a few of our many efforts, starting with our historic investments in financial institutions and funds with a track record of investing in Black communities. We’ve invested more than $8.5 billion in community financial institutions, including $1.4 billion in Black-owned and Black-majority shareholder depository institutions. I understand that later today you will hear from M&amp;F Bank, the second-oldest Black-owned bank in the country, chartered by the state of North Carolina in 1907 as part of a thriving business community in Durham. The Bank received $80 million from Treasury’s Emergency Capital Investment Program and additional funds from corporate partners through the Economic Opportunity Coalition.</p><p>Treasury’s efforts extend far beyond access to capital, including, for example, the generational investments we are making at the Internal Revenue Service that will make it easier for families, businesses, and neighborhoods to access tax credits to get more breathing room in their household budgets.</p><p>We have done a lot in the past few years. But we are well aware that we still have a long way to go, and this event is another step forward. Let me thank our hosts—Shaw University and Operation HOPE—for making this event possible. I was very glad to host the Freedman’s Bank Forum at the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. last year. Hosting the Freedman’s Bank Summer Symposium here, in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a powerful reminder that our work spans the country and that it must be driven by communities and grounded in their needs.</p><p>Again, welcome to the Freedman’s Bank Summer Symposium. I hope it serves as an opportunity for you to hear about the breadth and depth of ongoing work and to recommit to the work ahead.</p><p>###</p>

This significant update provides enterprises with enhanced capabilities for bulk device deployment &amp; configuration, policy &amp; kiosk management, application management.</p><p>“<em>Modern organizations rely heavily on endpoints, and as the number of Windows devices accessing corporate networks from our customers increases, it has become increasingly challenging for IT teams to manage and secure them effectively,</em>” said Jack Guo, CTO at AirDroid Business. “<em>We’ve designed our solution to reduce the number of tools businesses need and simplify their tech stack. IT teams need a comprehensive endpoint management solution that unifies every device to keep employees productive and minimize risk.</em>”</p><ul><li><strong>Policy Management</strong></li></ul><p>Policy management, which includes application blacklists and whitelists, password restrictions, device usage limits, browser configurations and more, has been significantly enhanced, enabling businesses to enforce and customize policies across Windows devices from a single dashboard. This ensures all devices comply with company standards and security protocols, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. IT admins can tailor policies to fit specific business needs, ensuring each device operates within desired parameters while implementing stringent security measures to protect sensitive data and provent unauthorized device access.</p><ul><li><strong>Kiosk Mode</strong></li></ul><p>AirDroid Business now includes Kiosk Mode for Windows devices, allowing businesses to lock down devices to a single application or a specific set of applications. This feature is particularly useful for environments like retail, hospitality, and education, where a controlled and secure user experience is paramount. Kiosk Mode ensures that devices are used solely for their intended purpose, enhancing security and reducing the risk of unauthorized use.</p><ul><li><strong>Robust Application Management</strong></li></ul><p>The update includes robust application management tools, enabling businesses to manage and distribute apps across Windows devices effectively. This ensures productivity by keeping necessary applications available and up-to-date.

<p> <strong>
        AUSTIN, Texas, July 18, 2024 (Newswire.com)
        -
    </strong>Strangeworks announces its commitment to growing its global presence beyond its existing headquarters in Austin, Texas, and a European headquarters formed in 2021. By forming a Japanese entity and creating a permanent local presence in Japan, Strangeworks will continue expanding into the Japanese market, while bringing innovative Japanese technologies to the global stage. </p><p>With a continued focus on providing optimization solutions today, Strangeworks is also announcing that it is officially the first international reseller of the NEC Vector Annealing Service, which provides large-scale combinatorial problem-solving performance with high-speed optimization, utilizing NEC's proprietary quantum-inspired annealing algorithm to tackle problems in shipping route optimization, production planning optimization, credit card fraud detection, layout optimization for wind farms, optimal evacuation route suggestions, and more. </p><p>Over the past two years, Strangeworks has formalized numerous key strategic partnerships with several leading Japanese companies to bolster its Strangeworks Optimization offering. The inclusion of real-world proven quantum-inspired technologies on the Strangeworks compute platform underscores the company’s commitment to providing optimization solutions to enterprises today, as these technologies already demonstrate real-world value. </p><p>“NEC is a key partner of Strangeworks, and we are thrilled to be the only reseller of their cutting-edge vector annealing technology outside of the Japanese market,” said Strangeworks founder and CEO William ‘whurley’ Hurley. “The ability for Strangeworks to bring the NEC Vector Annealing Service to our customers across the U.S., Europe, and Asia will continue to drive adoption of near-term quantum-inspired technologies.” </p><p>Strangeworks officially provides access to the NEC Vector Annealing Service 2.0 today, which had been provided as a trial and will add the latest 3.0 Service within the coming months. The 2.0 service can handle the size of a problem up to 300,000 bits with full coupling. </p><p>The current Vector Annealing Service 2.0 became available on Strangeworks’ platform in the third quarter of 2023 through the Strangeworks Backstage Pass Program, which provides free, early access to select technologies. The NEC 2.0 Backstage Pass offering has been highly successful, bringing users from leading universities and enterprises in finance, pharma, energy, and more onto the Vector Annealing Service.</p><p>“NEC is pleased to announce the integration of the NEC Vector Annealing Service into Strangeworks' Quantum Cloud platform, making it available to customers around the world,” said Shigeki Wada, Corporate Senior Vice President, NEC. “The NEC Vector Annealing Service has already been put to practical use in the optimization of planning operations such as production and delivery planning. Now, we look forward to accelerating the resolution of a wider range of business issues in more industries around the world.”</p><p>Building upon Vector Annealing Service 2.0's exceptional performance with real-world constraints, the upcoming Vector Annealing Service 3.0 will introduce features such as Constraint Priority for the efficient handling of inequality constraints, Higher-Order Terms Support for quadratic, cubic &amp; higher-order polynomials, and Constraint Weight Auto-Tuning functionality. The NEC Vector Annealing Service 2.0 and 3.0 will be available to users on a monthly subscription basis for access to unlimited compute.</p><p>To access the Strangeworks Compute platform and the NEC Vector Annealing Service, please email us at <a href="https://stats.nwe.io/x/html?final=bWFpbHRvOmhlbGxvQHN0cmFuZ2V3b3Jrcy5jb20&amp;sig=92p1lNVpf99Jnn608M5OU4pmN2GXzQ_cQEKdRhjz5XEarIEiJ24Ura6cMMVEkCinjLZ5QPq1MGrya615p14-hA&amp;hit%2Csum=WyI0ZjY0ZTMiLCI0ZjY0ZTQiLCI0ZjY0ZTUiXQ">hello@strangeworks.com</a>.</p><p><strong>About Strangeworks</strong></p><p>Founded and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Strangeworks provides access to classical, quantum-inspired, and quantum computing technologies through its advanced compute platform.

<p>WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen and Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm hosted a working dinner with CEOs of leading companies in the clean energy economy. During the meeting, Secretary Yellen, Secretary Granholm, and CEOs discussed the impact of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, the most significant climate law in history, which is fueling private sector investments in American clean energy and creating new, good-paying jobs in communities across the nation. CEOs shared ideas on ways the private and public sectors can work together to accelerate investments in America’s clean energy economy, and Secretaries Yellen and Granholm both underscored the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to continue collaborating with the private sector to implement the Inflation Reduction Act. Secretaries Yellen and Granholm also highlighted the Administration’s recent work to support the private sector in the clean energy transition, including Treasury’s Principles for Net-Zero Financing and Investment, which was released last year to provide guidance to financial institutions pursuing net-zero commitments, as well as the Administration’s Principles for Responsible Participation in Voluntary Carbon Markets. </p><p>###</p>

Net income was $35.9 million, or $24.29 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which compares favorably to the $27.3 million, or $18.28 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Bank’s earnings for the first six months ended June 30, 2024, represented a healthy 16.6% return on equity capital and 1.41% return on assets. The Bank’s book value per share rose to $310 as of June 30, 2024, from $261 per share as of June 30, 2023. </p><p>Significant items impacting quarterly net income for June 30, 2024, and the same period in 2023 include the following:</p><ul><li>Higher loan balances — Average loan outstandings in the current quarter were $520 million higher than the prior year quarter, helping to increase net interest income by $5.0 million over the same period in 2023 despite rising deposit costs. </li><li>Increased cash and investment balances — Average cash balances grew by $331 million and average investments balances grew by $118 million, when compared to the same period in 2023. The increased balances, at higher yields, provided a $9.7 million increase in income from cash and investments versus the prior year quarter.</li><li>Deposit growth — Average deposits grew by $946 million compared to the same period a year earlier, supporting the Bank’s loan growth while reducing higher cost borrowings and increasing liquid assets. </li><li>The provision for credit losses on loans for the current quarter of $3.0 million was lower than the $6.5 million that was recorded for the prior year quarter. The Bank continues to add provision for credit losses as the loan portfolio grows. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Bank did not experience any actual credit losses and the Bank’s Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans was a robust 2.60% of Gross Loans as of June 30, 2024.</li></ul><p>“The Bank crossed an important milestone in our history as we ended the quarter with over $5 billion in total assets. Our customers continue to appreciate the value the Bank provides with over 50 years of consistently exceptional service as evidenced by our significant growth in total deposits from $3.6 billion at June 30, 2023, to $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2024,” said Steve Fleming, president and chief executive officer. “The Bank’s balance sheet remains highly liquid with $377 million in cash and $726 million in high-quality short duration investments (investment portfolio effective duration of only one year). At the same time, our loan quality remains pristine with virtually no delinquencies or non-performing loans. We believe we can continue to grow our commercial real estate loan portfolio as we focus on loans secured by multi-family, retail, and industrial properties, as well as expanding our geographic footprint to other western states outside of California. We will remain diligent with our monitoring of potential impacts to the office segment of our commercial real estate loan portfolio from the reduction in demand as employers continue to provide work-from-home opportunities for their employees.”</p><p>“The Bank’s high-quality investment securities portfolio continues to perform well with relatively small unrealized losses of 1.7 percent and there are no investment securities categorized as held-to-maturity,” said Brian Killeen, chief financial officer of River City Bank. “Operational efficiency remains a core competency for the Bank, as evidenced by our 26 percent efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2024.”</p><p>Shareholders’ equity for River City Bank on June 30, 2024, increased $29 million to $447 million, when compared to the $418 million as of Dec. 31, 2023. The increase was driven by growth of the current year's retained earnings. The Bank’s capital ratios remain well above the regulatory definition for being Well Capitalized with a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 8.7% as of June 30, 2024.</p><p>Additionally, Steve Fleming announced that the Bank’s board of directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.37 per common share to shareholders of record as of July 25, 2024, and payable on Aug. 8, 2024.</p><p><strong>ABOUT RIVER CITY BANK:</strong></p><p>Named one of <em>Sacramento Business Journal</em>’s “50 Fastest Growing Companies” for each of the past seven years, River City Bank is the Sacramento region’s premier business bank with assets of over $5 billion. River City Bank offers a comprehensive suite of banking services, including loans, deposits and cash management tools to the business, consumer, and commercial real estate sectors.

<p> <strong>
        BOSTON, July 18, 2024 (Newswire.com)
        -
    </strong>Recent studies highlight stark inequities in early childhood intervention referrals: White children are frequently referred before developmental screening, whereas Black children often receive referrals only after a positive screening. Delayed access to services for non-White children increases the risk of long-term impairment, particularly in low-income or minority groups.</p><p>Whittier Street Health Center is proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking community-based developmental screening program aimed at addressing these disparities in healthcare access among underserved pediatric patients. The initiative will provide essential early detection and intervention services directly within the communities that need them most, ensuring every child has the opportunity for healthy development and growth.</p><p>To help lead this program, WHSC is also pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Michael Oanea to its pediatric team. Oanea will play a pivotal role at WSHC in addressing these disparities as early intervention has been consistently linked to improved lifetime outcomes for children with developmental issues. Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), often present during early development and can persist into adulthood if not properly diagnosed and managed.</p><p>"Launching community-based developmental screenings is a critical step in addressing the disparities in healthcare access that many minority and low-income families face. By bringing these services directly to the communities that need them, Whittier is making a tangible difference in the lives of these children and their families,” said Oanea.</p><p>"In launching this critical initiative, Whittier recognizes the profound need to address healthcare disparities among our most vulnerable communities,” said Frederica Williams, WSHC President and CEO. “We are proud to partner with Dr. Oanea as we pioneer a community-based approach to pediatric developmental screenings at Whittier. By bringing essential services directly to those in need, we aim to not only detect developmental issues early on but ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive."</p><p>Oanea is deeply committed to enhancing access to pediatric developmental screenings for the diverse patient populations served by WHSC. After earning his degree in genetics, Oanea attended medical school at the University of Oklahoma. He completed his pediatrics training at Stony Brook University, NY, followed by a specialized program in neurodevelopmental disabilities at Boston Children's Hospital.</p><p>This new program at WSHC aims to provide better universal surveillance for developmental delays and increased access to early intervention, helping bridge the gap in healthcare disparities for our community's children.</p>

<p><em>Atlanta-based Hair Innovator Launches Time-Saving Deep Wave Boho Braids, Bringing Salon-Quality Looks to Your Living Room</em></p>
<strong>We're not only selling hair extensions; we're selling freedom.”</strong><p>— Mikey Moran</p>ATLANTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, July 25, 2024 /<a dir="auto" href="https://www.einpresswire.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">EINPresswire.com</a>/ -- In a world where time is precious and style is everything, Private Label is stepping up to revolutionize the way we think about our hair. The Atlanta-based hair extension and wig powerhouse is thrilled to announce the launch of its game-changing <a href="https://www.privatelabelextensions.com/collections/boho-braids" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Crochet Boho Braids</a>, a product that promises to turn heads and save hours.<p>Remember those long, lazy summer days spent in a salon chair, watching the world go by as your stylist meticulously crafted your Boho braids? Well, those days are about to become a distant memory. Private Label's new pre-twisted Deep Wave Boho Braids are here to liberate you from the tyranny of time-consuming hair appointments, allowing you to rock that coveted bohemian look without sacrificing your entire day.</p><p>"We're not only selling hair extensions; we're selling freedom," says Mikey Moran, CEO of Private Label. "Freedom to express yourself, freedom to change your style on a whim, and most importantly, freedom to spend your time doing what you love, not sitting in a salon chair."</p><p>Since bursting onto the scene in 2014, Private Label has been turning heads in the hair industry. Their commitment to quality and innovation earned them a coveted spot on the INC 500 list in 2018, ranking 278th. With the launch of the Crochet Boho Braids, they're proving once again why they're the go-to choice for hair enthusiasts across the nation.</p><p>So, what makes these Boho Braids so special? It's all in the details. Each set is a labor of love, hand-twisted by Private Label's team of expert craftspeople. They start with premium synthetic hair for durability and ease of styling, then weave in deep-wave <a href="https://www.privatelabelextensions.com/collections/bulk-hair" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">bulk human hair</a> for that coveted natural look. The result? A set of Boho Braids that look like they took hours to create but can be installed in a fraction of the time.</p><p>"Our team spends three hours making each set of Boho Braids," explains Mikey. "That's three hours our customers get back in their day. Imagine what you could do with an extra three hours!"</p><p>The Crochet Boho Braids come in three lengths - 16", 20", and 24" - catering to every style preference, from cute and cropped to long and luxurious. Each set comes in a versatile Natural Black 1B color and features 20 pre-twisted braids per ring, making installation a breeze whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional stylist.</p><p>Private Label's growth mirrors the success of their products. From their Atlanta headquarters, they've expanded to three locations across Georgia. Surprisingly, they didn't stop there. In a move that blends style with star power, they've partnered with media personality Angela Yee to open a location in Detroit. Yee, known for her stint on the hit radio show The Breakfast Club and now host of the nationally syndicated "Way Up With Yee," brings her own brand of cool to the Private Label family.</p><p>"Angela Yee embodies everything we stand for at Private Label," says Mikey.

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<time datetime="2024-07-30T14:30:00Z">July 30, 2024</time>
<p>WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is targeting five individuals and seven entities based in Iran, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Hong Kong that have facilitated procurements on behalf of subordinates of Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL). Those designated today procure various components, including accelerometers and gyroscopes, which serve as key inputs to Iran’s ballistic missile and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program. Iran’s acquisition of critical missile and UAV components continues to enable its proliferation of weapons systems to its proxies in the Middle East and to Russia.</p><p>“Iran’s reckless proliferation of its ballistic missiles and UAVs risks further instability and endangers civilian lives, both in the region and around the world. Today’s action exposes additional key front companies and trusted agents through which Iran has sought to acquire these components,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. “The United States will continue to impose costs on those that facilitate Iran’s ability to produce these deadly weapons.”</p><p>Today’s action was taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13382, which targets proliferators of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery. The U.S. Department of State designated MODAFL pursuant to E.O. 13382 on October 25, 2007 in connection with Iran’s ballistic missile program. </p><h3>BEIJING SNTD PROCUREMENT NETWORK</h3><p>PRC-based Beijing Shiny Nights Technology Development Co., Ltd. (Beijing SNTD) is a MODAFL front company that has procured electronics and equipment on behalf of Iranian end users, including OFAC-designated MODAFL subsidiary Iran Electronic Industries (IEI). In June 2023, OFAC <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1524" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">designated</a> the PRC-based Beijing SNTD pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, MODAFL. </p><p><strong>Sayyed Ali Seraj Hashemi</strong> (Hashemi), an Iranian national, is an employee of Beijing SNTD based in Iran and the PRC. Hashemi has coordinated Beijing SNTD’s efforts to procure goods including accelerometers and gyroscopes, which are key goods sought by Iran’s ballistic missile program for guidance, navigation, and control purposes. Hashemi’s work at Beijing SNTD has also entailed close coordination with the Iranian procurement agent <strong>Saeed Hamidi Javar</strong> (Javar). Iran-based Javar has facilitated efforts to procure missile-applicable accelerometers and gyroscopes for Beijing SNTD. Javar serves as managing director and chairman of the board of the Iran-based <strong>Buy Best Electronic Pars Company </strong>(BBEPC), an electronic component supplier with an additional location in the PRC. Javar has also overseen BBEPC’s procurement for Iran’s Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO). AIO, a key MODAFL subordinate that oversees Iran’s ballistic missile programs, was included in the Annex to E.O. 13382 in July 2005.</p><p>Hashemi is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Beijing SNTD. Javar is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, Beijing SNTD. BBEPC is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by, directly or indirectly, Javar.</p><h3>SAPA PROCUREMENT NETWORK</h3><p>Iran-based Electro Optic Sairan Industries Co (SAPA) is a subsidiary of IEI that has procured military equipment and developed technologies for MODAFL and has separately contributed to the OFAC-designated Shahed Aviation Industries Research Center’s (SAIRC) development of Shahed-series UAVs, which are being used by Russian forces in Ukraine. In October 2023, OFAC <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1820" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">designated</a> SAPA pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, IEI.</p><p>Iran-based <strong>Mohammad Abdollahi </strong>(Abdollahi) is a business manager and procurement official for SAPA who works closely with Hong Kong-based <strong>Thomas Ho Ming Tong </strong>(Tong) to procure optical components on behalf of SAPA. Tong liaises directly with Abdollahi to facilitate price quotes, place orders, and create invoices for optical components including optical gratings, reflecting beam expanders, and mounted lens arrays. Tong uses his Hong Kong and PRC-based companies <strong>Tas Technology Company Limited </strong>(Tas Technology), <strong>Cloud Element Company Limited </strong>(Cloud Element), and <strong>Btw International Limited </strong>(Btw International) to procure and arrange payment for components from SAPA. Hong Kong-based <strong>Bright Shore Inc Limited</strong> (Bright Shore) is a company for which Tong serves as a director.</p><p>Abdollahi is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, SAPA. Tong, Tas Technology, Cloud Element, and Btw International are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, SAPA. Bright Shore is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Tong.</p><h3>AZMOON PAJOHAN HESGAR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY</h3><p>Iran-based <strong>Azmoon Pajohan Hesgar Limited Liability Company </strong>(APH) is a test equipment manufacturer involved in the design of sensor and inertial navigation system tests. APH has coordinated the procurement of electronic components and missile applicable items, including gyroscopes, for MODAFL subordinate organizations including Shahid Bakeri Industrial Group (SBIG), an AIO subordinate organization that is responsible for Iran’s solid-fueled ballistic missile program. The United States included SBIG alongside the AIO in the Annex to E.O. 13382 in July 2005. Iran-based<strong> Ezzatullah Ghasemian Sorbani </strong>(Ghasemian) is the managing director and chairman of the board of directors of APH and has facilitated APH’s procurement for MODAFL subordinate organizations.</p><p>APH is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, MODAFL. Ghasemian is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, APH.</p><h3>SHENZHEN RION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.</h3><p>PRC-based <strong>Shenzhen Rion Technology Co., Ltd.</strong> (Shenzhen Rion) is a technology company that has provided, or attempted to provide, items in support of MODAFL front company Beijing SNTD. Shenzhen Rion specializes in inertial navigation and GPS-integrated navigation systems and promotes its products, including items with UAV applications, for purchase in Iran. In December 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/17/2021-27406/addition-of-certain-entities-to-the-entity-list-and-revision-of-an-entry-on-the-entity-list" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">added</a> Shenzhen Rion to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Entity List for its involvement in a network used to supply or attempt to supply Iran with U.S.-origin items that would ultimately provide material support to Iran’s defense industries, in violation of U.S. export controls.</p><p>Shenzhen Rion is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, MODAFL.</p><h3>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS</h3><p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons. </p><p>In addition, financial institutions and other persons that engage in certain transactions or activities with the sanctioned entities and individuals may expose themselves to sanctions or be subject to an enforcement action. The prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any designated person, or the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person. </p><p>The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the SDN List, but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law. The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior.

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C.— </strong>In support of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/invest/?utm_source=invest.gov" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">agenda</a>, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the availability of up to $63 million to enable state and local governments to expand battery recycling and modernize American manufacturing by making cutting edge technologies like advanced sensors and modeling more accessible to small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs). Administered by DOE’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), this funding opportunity advances next-generation tools and resources to achieve the Biden-Harris Administration’s ambitious goal of a net-zero economy by 2050 and will help revitalize and strengthen America’s global leadership in manufacturing.</p><p>"America’s revolutionary clean energy future requires a modernized manufacturing sector, and the Biden-Harris Administration is helping us get there,” said <strong>U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm</strong>. “The funding announced today will equip small- and medium-sized manufacturers with cutting edge technologies to improve operations efficiency and expand battery recycling, removing barriers to advancement and bolstering the nation’s competitive standing.” </p><p><strong>Battery Recycling</strong> </p><p>Batteries power our daily lives. Collecting spent batteries and recovering critical minerals like cobalt, lithium and graphite from battery recycling is a cost effective and sustainable way to source domestic materials to produce more batteries. Working with states and local governments, this funding will create new recycling programs for recycling and collection points that are easily accessible to consumers, whether at a retail location or a community site such as a library. </p><p>This funding opportunity includes $41 million for the second phase of $50 million in total provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for state and local government battery recycling programming. In the first phase, DOE selected battery recycling projects for negotiation that are expected to catalyze over $14.4 million in public/private investment. This second phase will boost state and local governments' ability to support state-wide and local battery recycling programs. DOE is seeking projects in partnership with state and local governments to create new or enhance existing battery collection, recycling, and reprocessing projects, with an additional focus on awareness, education, and community benefits. </p><p><strong>Smart Manufacturing</strong> </p><p>In addition to working with state and local governments to enhance battery collection, DOE is also partnering with states to modernize the domestic manufacturing sector by enhancing access to cutting edge technologies. </p><p>S<em>mart manufacturing</em> refers to the use of emerging and advanced technologies to increase the efficiency of the traditional manufacturing process. By adopting smart manufacturing technologies, firms can lower costs, increase energy efficiency and performance, reduce material demand, and improve product quality, making American firms more competitive in a global marketplace. However, the majority of SMMs currently do not employ smart manufacturing or high-performance computing technologies, largely due to high upfront costs and lack of access to training resources. Through this program, DOE is working to close that gap. </p><p>This funding opportunity includes $22 million towards the second phase of the $50 million total <a href="https://www.energy.gov/mesc/state-manufacturing-leadership-sec-40534" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">State Manufacturing Leadership Program</a>. In the first phase, DOE awarded 12 projects for states to expand or create programs that will ultimately support over 3,500 SMMs in implementing smart manufacturing technologies and practices, including accessing high-performance computing resources. Learn more about these 12 projects <a href="https://www.energy.gov/mesc/state-manufacturing-leadership-program-selections" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. In this second phase, DOE aims to expand this state-led support to reach even more SMMs. DOE seeks applications that facilitate SMM access to resources such as technical assistance, training, facility assessments, apprenticeships, and direct financial assistance to implement smart manufacturing improvements. Competitive funding awards of up to $2 million per project to state entities will be made over an up-to three-year period. Applicants will be required to provide a cost share of at least 23.1% of the award. </p><p>This program advances the Biden-Harris Administration’s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/environmentaljustice/justice40/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Justice40 Initiative</a>, which sets the goal that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain federal investments in climate, clean energy, clean transportation, and other areas flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution. Projects under this funding opportunity must also include meaningful community and labor engagement, advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; and invest in America’s workforce.</p><p>Read the full funding opportunity <a href="https://infrastructure-exchange.energy.gov/Default.aspx#FoaId01ff6755-19bc-44e2-afb1-c0c82b96ab47" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. An informational webinar will be held on August 6, 2024, at 2:30 pm ET; register <a href="https://doe.webex.com/weblink/register/r18d45e523a56716837aa4197aa47b238" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. Concept papers are NOT required. Full applications are due <strong>Monday,</strong> <strong>September 16, 2024</strong> by 5:00pm ET. </p><p>Learn more about the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/mesc/office-manufacturing-and-energy-supply-chains" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">MESC</a> mission to catalyze investments in America’s energy future in support of the re-shoring, skilling, and scaling of U.S. manufacturing across energy supply chains.   </p>

were Shantanu Banerjee, Chris Cameron, Nicholas Chisholm, Dave Chung, Gabriella Csepe, Chris Kubeluis, Joshua Stachura, Renee Tang, and Laura Thrift.Federal Reserve Bank of New York staff members Ellen Correia Golay, Brian Greene, and Kyle Watson were also present. </p><p><span>Director Pietrangeli reviewed year-over-year changes in receipts and outlays through Q3 FY2024.  Receipts totaled $3.75 trillion during the first nine months of FY2024, an increase of $342 billion (10%) compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to higher non-withheld and corporate taxes following an extension of several federal tax deadlines from FY2023 into FY2024</span>.<span>  Outlays totaled $5.02 trillion through Q3 FY2024, an increase of $217 billion (5%) compared to the same period last year, which was largely attributable to higher gross interest on the public debt as well as cost-of-living adjustments to Social Security and other transfer payments.</span></p><p><span>Pietrangeli then turned to privately-held net marketable borrowing projections.  Primary dealer estimates for the next three fiscal years </span>were somewhat higher than previous estimates, with the median aggregate estimate for FY2024-FY2026 approximately $397 billion higher than last quarter.Dealers voiced uncertainty regarding borrowing needs in FY2025 and FY2026, citing the path of monetary and fiscal policy, the duration of System Open Market Account (SOMA) redemptions, and the economic outlook. </p><p>Under Secretary Liang <span>provided a brief update on debt management and other Treasury priorities and</span> thanked Mohit Mittal for his willingness to serve as Vice Chair of the Committee.She also thanked Greg Davis and Gil Holmes for their service to the Committee.</p><p><span>Deputy Director Katzenbach reviewed primary dealers’ expectations for coupon issuance.  All primary dealers expected nominal coupon and floating rate note (FRN) issuance to remain unchanged at the August refunding.  Looking ahead, while dealers anticipated that nominal coupon and FRN auction sizes would remain unchanged through the end of calendar year 2024, some thought that modest increases might be needed sometime in 2025 or 2026.  Several dealers cited uncertainty about borrowing needs and the potential for a debt limit impasse in the first half of next year as possible complicating factors.  With respect to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), nearly all dealers expected Treasury to increase the size of the 10-year TIPS reopening in September 2024 and a slight majority expected Treasury to increase the size of the 5-year TIPS new issue in October.</span></p><p><span>Debt Manager Banerjee summarized primary dealers’ views on the effects of FINRA’s publication of transaction data for on-the-run nominal coupons at the end of each day (and historical uncapped transactions data). Primary dealers estimated that the publication had little to no impact on liquidity conditions and market functioning, citing pre-existing price transparency for on-the-runs and the end-of-day timing of the data release.</span></p><p><span>Debt Manager Chisholm then reviewed primary dealers’ views on the impact of liquidity support buyback operations thus far.  Dealers characterized buybacks as moderately supportive of liquidity and market-making in specific sectors, but they suggested that the combination of already robust off-the-run liquidity and the limited size of Treasury’s purchases meant that the effect of buybacks on broader liquidity conditions in the Treasury market was hard to measure.  Dealers commonly viewed buybacks as a tool to exit positions in securities that were relatively less liquid, enabling them to redeploy balance sheet for new client activity.  Dealers suggested the effect of liquidity support buybacks may be enhanced once Treasury removed its temporary CUSIP limits and increased the size of the program to its previously announced $30 billion per quarter cadence. </span></p><p><span>Chisholm then reviewed the nine liquidity support buyback operations conducted between May 29 and July 24 and compared par offered against par accepted by Treasury in each of the buyback operations.  Chisholm noted Treasury purchased the maximum par amount in five of the nine buyback operations, consistent with Treasury’s price sensitive approach to buybacks.  In the context of the final operation where Treasury made no purchases, it was noted that buyback results can be affected by market moves near the close of an operation.</span></p><p>The Committee then discussed the first charge regarding considerations for Treasury bill issuance.  The presenting members cited four key factors: financing costs over time, the use of bills to preserve regular and predictable coupon issuance, market structure and demand, and the impact of bills on Treasury’s debt maturity profile.  The presenting members also highlighted the Committee’s previous work on bill issuance and the guidance provided to Treasury in recent quarters, emphasizing flexibility with bill issuance in support of regular and predictable coupon issuance. The Committee discussed volatility in financing needs, changes in the cyclicality of the deficit, term premia, and additional metrics for evaluating bill supply.  After discussion, the Committee decided to update its recommendations to Treasury, highlighting that regular and predictable coupon issuance should be prioritized, outlining a broader range of metrics to monitor, and suggesting that a Treasury bill share averaging around 20 percent over time appeared to provide a balanced trade-off between cost, volatility, and the need for flexibility to adapt as market conditions evolve, while a 15 percent share was recommended as the lower bound for proper market functioning.   <a name="_Hlk173277019" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a></p><p>The Committee adjourned at 12:00 p.m. for lunch.</p><p>The Committee reconvened at 1:15 p.m.</p><p><span>Upon reconvening the Committee turned to a presentation on demand for Treasuries and shifts in the investor base.  The presenting member began by reviewing recent developments in demand for Treasury securities by key investor types and noted a shift in the investor base toward more price sensitive investors.  The member then went on to cover factors Treasury should consider when evaluating the outlook for both domestic and foreign demand.  These ranged from regulatory factors that impact both bank and money market fund demand for securities to monetary policy’s impact on currency hedging costs for foreign investors.  Discussion focused on public and private pension fund investment activity and the role of the basis trade in demand for cash securities.  The Committee concluded that investor classes such as banks, money market funds, pension funds, and foreign investors exhibited increased demand, often for specific maturity sectors, while the demand outlook for households remained uncertain and represented a potential area for additional study. </span></p><p><span>The Committee then discussed its financing recommendation for the upcoming quarters and advised that Treasury maintain nominal coupon and FRN auction sizes at current levels.  Finally, the Committee recommended gradual increases to TIPS auction sizes.</span></p><p>The Committee adjourned at 2:20 p.m.</p><p>The Committee reconvened at 5:00 p.m.<span></span></p><p>Finally, the Chair summarized key elements of the Committee report for Deputy Secretary Adeyemo and followed with a brief discussion of recent market developments.</p><p>The Committee adjourned at 5:30 p.m.</p><p><span>_________________________________</span></p><p><span>Brian Smith</span></p><p><span>Deputy Assistant Secretary for Federal

represented 17% of outstanding debt, the Committee recommended gradual reductions in coupon auction sizes to avoid the T-bill share falling considerably below 15% but highlighted the flexibility to fall below 15% or rise modestly above 20% to help maintain regular and predictable coupon issuance. </span></p><p><span>Please discuss relevant developments in markets, regulations, and Treasury issuance since these recommendations were made. In light of these developments, what considerations should inform Treasury bill issuance going forward? Could additional metrics enhance the Committee’s

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Lowering electricity bills is one of the main reasons why consumers may decide to install rooftop solar panels. Every household is different—from the size of the home, to the number of people living in it, to the electricity needs of those people, to where the buy their electricity—so calculating an average amount of savings from going solar is nearly impossible. This U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) blog post will walk you through calculating the solar payback period, or how long it takes for a rooftop solar system to pay for itself. When calculating the amount of potential savings, there are several factors to consider. </p><h3><strong>The Amount of Electricity You Produce</strong></h3><p>First, assess your home’s <a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/solar-rooftop-potential" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">solar rooftop potential</a>. If there are trees near your home that create excessive shade on your roof, rooftop panels may not be an option. The size, shape, and slope of your roof are also important factors to consider. Typically, solar panels perform best on south-facing roofs (anything between southeast and southwest) with a slope between 15 and 40 degrees, though other roofs may be suitable, too. </p><h3><strong>The Amount of Electricity You Consume</strong></h3><p>Check your utility bill to find out how much electricity you consume on average every month. The <a href="https://openei.org/wiki/Utility_Rate_Database" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Utility Rate Database</a> maintained by the DOE Energy Information Administration shows current electricity rates in your area. Your solar savings will also depend on how much the utility will compensate you for the excess solar energy you send back to the grid. This is different for every utility.</p><h3><strong>How You Finance Your System</strong></h3><p>The <a href="https://emp.lbl.gov/tracking-the-sun" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s <em>Tracking the Sun</em> report</a> contains residential solar installation costs around the country, which can help you expect how much to pay. There are several options for <a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/articles/money-matters-how-finance-your-rooftop-solar-energy-system" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">how to finance your system</a>. </p><p>If you pay cash for your solar system, the payback period refers to the length of time required before the system has paid for itself and all future power produced is free. You can get a personal loan with fixed interest rates and monthly payments. Another option is to use a power purchase agreement, or PPA, which means you do not own the solar panels on your roof but still benefit from the clean power it produces. In both of those cases, you may have immediate savings on what you pay for electricity.</p><h3><strong>Incentives</strong></h3><p>If you buy or take out a loan for a solar system, you may be eligible for the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/homeowners-guide-federal-tax-credit-solar-photovoltaics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">federal residential solar energy credit</a>, which is a tax credit that can be claimed on federal income taxes for a percentage of the cost of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. If you financed your system through a power purchase agreement, the owners of the system would be eligible for tax credits, which they could pass along to you in the form of a cheaper bill. In some instances, these third-party system owners can receive additional credits not available to homeowners, which can lower your bill even further.</p><p>Many states also have incentives for rooftop solar customers. The <a href="https://www.dsireusa.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Database of State Incentives for Renewables &amp; Efficiency</a>, known as DSIRE, is the most comprehensive source of information on incentives and policies that support renewable energy in the United States. By entering your zip code, DSIRE provides you with a comprehensive list of financial incentives and regulatory policies that apply to your home. The database is operated by the N.C. Clean Energy Technology Center at N.C. State University and was funded by DOE.</p><h3><strong>Doing the Math</strong></h3><p>Companies like EnergySage—a former SETO awardee—can help you figure out how much you will spend and ultimately save by going solar. According to EnergySage, “you can calculate your break-even point, or solar payback period, by dividing the final cost (the total cost of your solar panel system minus any upfront incentives) by your annual financial benefit (the amount you save on electricity combined with annual incentives). The faster the cost of electricity increases, the shorter your payback period and the greater your savings will be.”</p><p>Any solar installer should be able to help you with these three steps:</p><p><strong>Step 1</strong>. Subtract any upfront incentives from the total cost of your solar panel system. </p><p><strong>Step 2</strong>. To calculate the amount you save on electricity, multiply the average monthly cost on your utility bills by 12 to get your annual savings. Subtract any annual incentives according to your solar installer. </p><p><strong>Step 3</strong>. Divide your answer from Step 1 by your answer from Step 2 for your solar payback time in years. </p><p>While payback time is a good indicator of savings potential, for a complete picture you need to compare your solar savings to other low-risk ways you could have invested your money over the time horizon that is important to you.  The following table shows the annual <em>after-tax</em> rate of return you would need to earn on the alternate investment for it to match your solar savings, for three typical payback times:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><h6><strong>4-year payback time</strong></h6></td><td><h6><strong>6-year payback time</strong></h6></td><td><h6><strong>8-year payback time</strong></h6></td></tr><tr><td><h6><strong>10-year planning horizon</strong></h6></td><td>10.8%</td><td>6.4%</td><td>3.4%</td></tr><tr><td><h6><strong>20-year planning horizon</strong></h6></td><td>9.7%</td><td>7.5%</td><td>6.0%</td></tr></tbody></table><p>*2.5% annual inflation, no cost for maintenance, no effect on insurance, no increase in resale value.</p><p>When the payback time is less than 10 years, most homeowners find that an investment in solar power is financially more attractive than any other low-risk investment they could make over the time horizon that’s important to them. And this does not even include any increase in the resale value of the house due to the solar panels, which a <a href="https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2015/01/13/berkeley-lab-illuminates-price-premiums-u-s-solar-home-sales/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DOE study</a> found to be significant.</p><h3><strong>When Rooftop Solar Isn’t an Option</strong></h3><p><a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/community-solar-basics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Community solar</a> allows customers to either buy or lease a portion of the solar panels in a large solar array located in their community. Community solar customers typically receive an electric bill credit for electricity generated by their share of the community solar system—similar to someone who has rooftop panels installed on their home, but without the upfront costs or the need to own your roof. </p><h3><strong>Examples</strong></h3><p>While it’s impossible to articulate every scenario where someone would save money going solar, we’ve put together some examples that illustrate savings based on their location and type of purchase:</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<time datetime="2024-07-31T14:30:00Z">July 31, 2024</time>
<p>WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is sanctioning two individuals and four companies that have facilitated weapons procurement for Ansarallah, commonly referred to as the Houthis. Since November 2023, the Houthis have deployed a range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles to attack U.S. military forces, merchant vessels, their crews, and civilian populations in Israel. To undertake their reckless campaign targeting U.S. and allied interests, the Houthis rely on a global network of procurement operatives, shipment facilitators, and suppliers to procure and transport dual-use components and equipment needed to manufacture and deploy a range of advanced weapons systems. This action targets key actors located in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), including Hong Kong, and Yemen who have directly supported Houthis’ efforts to procure military-grade materials abroad and ship these items to Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, enabling the group’s ongoing attacks.</p><p>“The Houthis have sought to exploit key jurisdictions like the PRC and Hong Kong in order to source and transport the components necessary for their deadly weapons systems,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. “Treasury will continue to target the facilitators that enable the Houthis’ destabilizing activities.”  </p><p>Today’s action is being taken pursuant to the counterterrorism authority Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended, and builds on OFAC’s <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2409" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">June 17, 2024 action</a> targeting seven individuals and entities enabling Houthi weapons procurement. The U.S. Department of State designated Ansarallah as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, effective February 16, 2024, for having committed or attempted to commit, posing a significant risk of committing, or having participated in training to commit acts of terrorism.</p><h3>HOUTHI-LINKED TRANSSHIPMENT COMPANIES</h3><p>Houthi-affiliated shipping firms have enabled the group to transfer military-grade components from PRC-based suppliers to Yemen. One such firm, <strong>Al-Shahari United Corporation Ltd. </strong>(Al-Shahari United), is a Sanaa, Yemen-based logistics company that has facilitated numerous shipments from PRC-based suppliers to the Houthis, including components for use in Houthi missile and UAV manufacturing. Al-Shahari United maintains close contact with Houthi operatives based in the PRC and Yemen, who have used the company to help facilitate some of their most important procurement efforts.</p><p>Al-Shahari United relies on its PRC-based branch, <strong>Guangzhou Alshahari United Corporation Limited </strong>(Guangzhou Alshahari), to help facilitate shipments from the PRC to Yemen. Guangzhou Alshahari is wholly owned by Hong Kong-based <strong>Hongkong Alshahari United Corporation Limited </strong>(Hongkong Alshahari). <strong>Ahmed Khaled Yahya Al-Shahare </strong>is the Director and General Manager of Guangzhou Alshahari. </p><p>Al-Shahari United is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Ansarallah. Guangzhou Alshahari is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Al-Shahari United. Hongkong Alshahari is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for owning or controlling Guangzhou Alshahari. Ahmed Khaled Yahya Al-Shahare is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for being a leader or official of Guangzhou Alshahari.</p><h3>HOUTHI PROCUREMENT OPERATIONS IN YEMEN</h3><p><strong>Maher Yahya Muhammad Mutahar al-Kinai </strong>(al-Kinai) is a Yemeni businessman who has supported Houthi military procurement and smuggling efforts. Al-Kinai has coordinated with other Houthi procurement operatives to facilitate shipments of dual-use equipment and components for likely use in Houthi weapons manufacturing. Al-Kinai is the General Manager of <strong>Yemen Telecommunication Asset Company for Information Technology </strong>(Y-TAC), a Sanaa, Yemen-based company that has supported Houthi weapons and component procurement efforts.</p><p>Al-Kinai and Y-TAC are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Ansarallah.</p><h3>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS</h3><p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the individuals named above, and of any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by them, individually, or with other blocked persons, that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons must be blocked and reported to OFAC. OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all dealings by U.S. persons or within the United States (including transactions transiting the United States) that involve any property or interests in property of designated or blocked persons. U.S. persons must comply with OFAC regulations, including all U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens regardless of where they are located, all persons within the United States, and all U.S.- incorporated entities and their foreign branches. Non-U.S. persons are also subject to certain OFAC prohibitions. For example, non-U.S. persons are prohibited from causing or conspiring to cause U.S. persons to wittingly or unwittingly violate U.S. sanctions, as well as engaging in conduct that evades U.S. sanctions. Violations of OFAC regulations may result in civil or criminal penalties. OFAC may impose civil penalties for sanctions violations based on strict liability, meaning that a person subject to U.S. jurisdiction may be held civilly liable even if such person did not know or have reason to know that it was engaging in a transaction that was prohibited under sanctions laws and regulations administered by OFAC. <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-501/appendix-Appendix%20A%20to%20Part%20501" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">OFAC’s Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines</a> provide more information regarding OFAC’s enforcement of U.S. economic sanctions, including the factors that OFAC generally considers when determining an appropriate response to an apparent violation. For additional information on complying with U.S. sanctions and export control laws, please see <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/932746/download?inline" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Department of Commerce, Department of the Treasury, and Department of Justice Tri-Seal Compliance Note</a>.</p><p>Furthermore, engaging in certain transactions with the individuals designated today entails risk of secondary sanctions pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended. Pursuant to this authority, OFAC can prohibit or impose strict conditions on the opening or maintaining in the United States of a correspondent account or a payable-through account of a foreign financial institution that knowingly conducted or facilitated any significant transaction on behalf of a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. </p><p>The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the SDN List, but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law. The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior. For information concerning the process for seeking removal from an OFAC list, including the SDN List, please refer to <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/faqs/897" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">OFAC’s Frequently Asked Question 897 here</a>. <a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/specially-designated-nationals-list-sdn-list/filing-a-petition-for-removal-from-an-ofac-list" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">For detailed information on the process to submit a request for removal from an OFAC sanctions list, please click here</a>.</p><p><a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions/20240731" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Click here for more information on the individuals and entities designated and vessel identified today</a>.</p><p>###</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>MILWUAKEE, WISC.</strong> — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/invest/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">agenda</a>, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced today that Wisconsin has launched its first Home Energy Rebates program, supported by the Inflation Reduction Act. Even more, Wisconsin is the first state in the nation to launch the Home Efficiency (HOMES) portion of the rebate program – enabling households at all income levels, with an emphasis on lower-income households, to save on energy efficiency improvements such as insulation, air sealing, and heat pumps that reduce whole-home energy consumption. </p><p>Wisconsin’s launch is part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s nationwide initiative to provide $8.8 billion in Federal funding for states, territories, and Tribes to lower energy costs and increase efficiency in American homes by making it cheaper to install cost-saving measures such as heat pumps, electrical panels, and insulation. These energy-saving measures will save American households up to $1 billion annually in energy costs and support an estimated 50,000 U.S. jobs in residential construction, manufacturing, and other sectors. These investments also advance the President’s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/environmentaljustice/justice40/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Justice40 Initiative</a>, which sets a goal that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal climate, clean energy, affordable and sustainable housing, and other investments flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution.        </p><p>“The Biden-Harris administration is helping families save energy and save money, and we’re not slowing down,” said <strong>U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm</strong>. “Wisconsin is leading the pack of states building up their local workforce and keeping money in the pockets of their residents, all thanks to the Investing in America agenda.” </p><p>“Home energy rebates for clean and energy-efficient appliances and upgrades are good for the planet because they help cut pollution. But more importantly, they are good for Wisconsin families because they will save money by lowering energy bills,” said <strong>John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy</strong>. “Congratulations to Wisconsin for being the second state in the nation to make these game-changing Inflation Reduction Act incentives available to their residents.”</p><p>“President Biden and Vice President Harris’s leadership is helping turbocharge efforts across the country to expand access to cost-saving clean energy upgrades and cut the pollution that hurts our environment and public health,” said <strong>White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi</strong>. “Home energy rebates will help both reduce emissions and lower energy costs for Wisconsin families using tried-and-true insulation, heat pumps, and efficient appliances and lighting. As climate-fueled extreme heat also continues to impact communities, better insulation and heat pumps will keep families safer and more comfortable.   This $149 million infusion will help Governor Evers’ HOMES and HEAR program reach tens of thousands more folks. It strengthens the partnership between the Biden-Harris and Evers administrations to deliver more utility bill savings for more Wisconsin families. This Biden-Harris investment will make a difference at the kitchen-table level from Green Bay to Eau Claire, Madison to Milwaukee – literally all across the state – and that’s why it’s a big deal.”</p><p>“The HOMES and forthcoming HEAR programs will go a long way in lowering costs for important energy efficiency and clean energy upgrades for households across the nation and here in Wisconsin ,” said <strong>Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers.</strong> “Together, these programs will save folks and families up to $1 billion every year in energy costs and support roughly 50,000 jobs. This is proof that we don’t have to choose between protecting the environment and economic development and creating jobs—we can and are doing both.</p><p>“Throughout this entire process, we have been glad for the tremendous partnership between PSC and Focus on Energy, as well as the leadership of President Biden and the entire Biden-Harris Administration to support these and other important clean energy efforts,” Gov. Evers continued. “Building a brighter, stronger, clean energy future starts right at home, and I look forward to seeing how these programs will work to help lighten burdensome costs for folks and families across the state.” </p><p>“I am proud to join Governor Evers and Secretary Granholm to celebrate the launch of the Home Efficiency Rebate Program in Wisconsin,” said<strong> Public Service Commission of Wisconsin Chairperson Summer Strand. </strong>“After robust public engagement and planning phases, we thoughtfully designed Wisconsin’s Home Energy Rebate programs to ensure broad access without barriers and easy and effective participation through streamlined processes.  The Home Energy Rebate programs are a win, win, win for Wisconsin , and we are excited to begin deployment to help households save energy, save money, and support our workforce!”</p><p>Many Americans spend a large portion of their monthly income to heat, cool and power their homes — with some of the lowest-income families spending upwards of 30% of their income on energy bills. Overall, by participating in the Home Energy Rebate programs, individual households could save up to $14,000 for energy-efficient home upgrades and hundreds more on monthly energy bills. To advance the objective of these programs, DOE is requiring states and territories to allocate at least half of the rebates to low-income households, defined as those earning 80% or less of their area median income, which is expected to benefit many households in disadvantaged communities. States and territories must also submit Community Benefits Plans to ensure good jobs and other economic opportunities are available. To help keep consumers informed and equipped with resources, DOE recently released a <a href="https://www.energy.gov/scep/articles/home-energy-rebates-program-inflation-reduction-act-sections-50121-and-50122-consumer" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Consumer Bill of Rights framework</a> and is encouraging state, territorial and Tribal rebates programs to adopt it.</p><p><strong>Wisconsin’s Home Energy Rebate Programs </strong> </p><p>Wisconsin is launching the HOMES program – one of two programs making up the Federal Home Energy Rebate programs – by leveraging the program infrastructure already in place for the state's existing <a href="https://focusonenergy.com/home-energy-rebates" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Focus on Energy program</a>. </p><p>Residents will first complete a home energy assessment provided by a licensed energy auditor to determine the home’s upgrade needs and establish the estimated energy savings each upgrade would provide. Low-income households are eligible for a rebate to help cover the cost of the home energy assessment. Rebate amounts are based on household income and the amount of estimated energy savings.  </p><p>For single-family homes, rebates will range up to:  </p><ul><li>$10,000 for those making less than 80% of their area median income (AMI).</li><li>$4,000 for those making between 80% to 150% AMI.</li><li>$3,000 for those making at or above 150% AMI. </li></ul><p>Multifamily properties are also eligible. Rental units with low-income tenants are eligible for up to $10,000 in rebates, depending on estimated energy reductions.  </p><p>The Inflation Reduction Act provided Wisconsin with nearly $150 million for its Home Energy Rebate programs. Wisconsin expects to launch its Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program later this year. Through the HEAR program, Wisconsinites can receive up to $14,000 off high-efficiency electric appliances and other energy-efficient home upgrades.  </p><p>For more information on Wisconsin’s program, visit <a href="https://focusonenergy.com/home-energy-rebates" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Focus on Energy’s Home Energy Rebates website</a>. </p><p><strong>More States Get Ready for Rebate Launch  </strong></p><p>DOE has now awarded $1.2 billion to states to implement Home Energy Rebate programs. Ten states have received full funding from DOE to launch one or both rebate programs: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Indiana, Maine, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin.  </p><p>DOE continues to receive and approve funding applications for states, territories and Tribes to launch their programs. To date, 49 states and territories have applied to DOE for early administrative or full program funding.  </p><p>DOE has also received full funding applications for one or both rebate programs from 22 states and territories: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.  </p><p>Each state is in charge of setting up and running its own program. You can check the status of your state’s program at energy.gov/save/rebates. </p><p>Between now and September, Home Energy Rebates are expected to become available in several more states, helping more American families save energy and save money with energy-efficient home upgrades. You can track state and territorial program launches on our website. </p><p>For more information on what you can do to save energy and save money,  visit <a href="www.energy.gov/save" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.energy.gov/save</a>. </p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<time datetime="2024-08-01T19:00:00Z">August 1, 2024</time>
<p><em>New Mexico Becomes Fourth New State to Offer Free Tax Filing Option Next Year Made Possible by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act</em></p><p>WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that New Mexico will be the fourth new state to join IRS Direct File for Filing Season 2025. IRS Direct File was made possible by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which provided new resources for the IRS to improve customer service and ensure taxpayers claim the benefits and deductions for which they are eligible.</p><p>Following a successful Pilot Program in 12 states that saw 140,000 taxpayers claim more than $90 million in refunds and save an estimated $5.6 million in filing costs using the new free online filing tool, Treasury and the IRS announced the expansion of Direct File as a permanent offering. New Mexico becomes the fourth new state to offer Direct File to its taxpayers after Oregon, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania announced their participation this summer. More than 200,000 New Mexicans will be eligible to use the free online filing tool next Filing Season. </p><p>“Thanks to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, more than 200,000 New Mexico taxpayers will be able to file their taxes online for free, directly with the IRS this coming Filing Season. Direct File will save New Mexicans time and money and help ensure they receive the tax benefits they are owed,” said <strong>U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen</strong>. “After a successful pilot this Filing Season, we are pleased to expand the program as a permanent offering and welcome New Mexico as the fourth new state to offer this free option to taxpayers.” </p><p>“This collaboration with the IRS will simplify the tax filing process for New Mexicans. The Direct File program empowers taxpayers with a free, reliable, and efficient way to manage their federal and state tax filings,” said <strong>Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham</strong>. </p><p>“In May, I pushed the IRS to expand its Direct File program to make filing taxes free and easy for more working families. I’m pleased the IRS listened to our calls and have now made this successful program available to New Mexicans, ensuring access to a free and accessible tool to help the hardworking people in our state claim all available tax refunds in time for the next tax filing season,” said <strong>Senator Martin Heinrich</strong>.</p><p>“Creating a way for New Mexicans to file their taxes directly with the IRS and online for free is a huge step in easing the stress of tax season for people in my district,” said <strong>Representative Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)</strong>. “We're seeing positive, real-world impacts on the working class in our state every day all thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration and the Inflation Reduction Act.”</p><p>The Treasury Department’s goal in the coming years is to expand the reach and tax scope of Direct File to provide an option for working-and middle-class taxpayers nationwide. Direct File is central to the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to deliver modern, world-class customer service using Inflation Reduction Act resources. Direct File also advances a goal of the IRS’s Strategic Operation Plan (SOP) to ensure that taxpayers receive tax credits that they are eligible for, including the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. The IRS will continue to improve the product over time and ensure that it remains free, secure, and easy to use.</p><h3>BACKGROUND ON THE DIRECT FILE PILOT PROGRAM</h3><p>The average American spends $270 and 13 hours filing their taxes. (<em>Taxpayer Burden Survey</em>) President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act required the IRS to study the potential for an IRS-run Direct e-File System that would allow taxpayers to file taxes for free, directly with the IRS. After reviewing the report, which showed strong taxpayer interest in a free IRS filing option, the Treasury Department initiated a pilot of IRS Direct File during the 2024 Filing Season.</p><p>In Filing Season 2024, Direct File was available to taxpayers with simple tax situations in 12 states. The Pilot exceeded expectations with more than 140,000 Americans successfully filing in the five weeks the program was widely available following extensive product testing. These filers claimed more than $90 million in refunds and saved an estimated $5.6 million in tax preparation fees on their federal returns alone.</p><p>Direct File users also reported a high degree of satisfaction and quick answers to their filing questions. In a GSA Touchpoints survey of more than 11,000 Direct File users, 90 percent of respondents ranked their experience with Direct File as “Excellent” or “Above Average.” Among survey respondents, 47 percent of users paid to file their taxes last year and 16 percent did not file last year at all. </p><p>In Treasury and IRS engagements with Direct File users, taxpayers relayed that Direct File was straightforward to use, and they valued features that allowed them to learn more about different tax situations, credits, and deductions. Taxpayers emphasized their appreciation for the fact that Direct File is always free and there are no hidden fees or attempts to upsell users as they moved through the filing process. Taxpayers also shared that filing directly with the IRS gave them confidence and that they were able to quickly fix mistakes and get their taxes filed accurately.  </p><p>###</p>

<p><em>Global UAS safety training leader extends workforce ready curriculum to individuals, leveraging 10 years of experience with academic &amp; enterprise organizations.</em></p>
<strong>Since our founding, we’ve focused on UAS safety, standardization, and regional workforce development in academic &amp; enterprise markets. Now individual consumers can earn these same credentials.”</strong><p>— Josh Olds, President &amp; CEO at USI</p><p>PANAMA CITY, FL, UNITED STATES, July 25, 2024 /<a dir="auto" href="https://www.einpresswire.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">EINPresswire.com</a>/ -- USI has announced that their industry-standard training for drones, also known as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is now available to the consumer market. USI training can be accessed online, at a time and pace determined by each student, and includes both live virtual instruction as well as in-person, live flight training options. Course offerings include <a href="https://www.flyusi.org/drone-pilot-certification/part107" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FAA Part 107</a> test prep, Primary <a href="https://www.flyusi.org/drone-pilot-certification/primary" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Professional Remote Operator</a> (PRO<sup>®</sup>) certification, and new courses for those who wish to become an instructor.</p>
<p>USI’s curriculum has been offered to the academic and enterprise markets for the past 10 years and is now available to <a href="https://www.flyusi.org/drone-pilot-certification" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">individual consumers</a> based on the projected massive demand for drone pilots and required crew members. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Aerospace Forecast projects that the number of registered commercial drones will increase from around 385,000 in 2023 to over 835,000 by 2034. Additionally, the FAA expects the demand for commercial drone pilots to grow from approximately 280,000 in 2023 to over 450,000 by 2034.</p>
<p>Professionally trained remote operators are being hired into jobs that pay salaries of $60,000 or more per year on average. Employers consider FAA Part 107 as a baseline for entry-level positions while reserving the technically-advanced, higher-wage positions for pilots with advanced certifications.

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<time datetime="2024-07-11T14:30:00Z">July 11, 2024</time>
<p>Washington — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Tren de Aragua, a Venezuela-based transnational criminal organization that is expanding throughout the Western Hemisphere and engaging in diverse criminal activities, such as human smuggling and trafficking, gender-based violence, money laundering, and illicit drug trafficking.</p><p>“Today’s designation of Tren de Aragua as a significant Transnational Criminal Organization underscores the escalating threat it poses to American communities,” said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson. “As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to target Transnational Criminal Organizations, we will deploy all tools and authorities against organizations like Tren de Aragua that prey on vulnerable populations to generate revenue, engage in a range of criminal activities across borders, and abuse the U.S. financial system.”</p><h3>TREN DE ARAGUA</h3><p>From its origins as a prison gang in Aragua, Venezuela, <strong>Tren de Aragua</strong> has quickly expanded throughout the Western Hemisphere in recent years. With a particular focus on human smuggling and other illicit acts that target desperate migrants, the organization has developed additional revenue sources through a range of criminal activities, such as illegal mining, kidnapping, human trafficking, extortion, and the trafficking of illicit drugs such as cocaine and MDMA. </p><p>Tren de Aragua poses a deadly criminal threat across the region. For example, Tren de Aragua leverages its transnational networks to traffic people, especially migrant women and girls, across borders for sex trafficking and debt bondage. When victims seek to escape this exploitation, Tren de Aragua members often kill them and publicize their deaths as a threat to others. </p><p>As Tren de Aragua has expanded, it has opportunistically infiltrated local criminal economies in South America, established transnational financial operations, laundered funds through cryptocurrency, and formed ties with the U.S.-sanctioned Primeiro Comando da Capital, a notorious organized crime group in Brazil.</p><p>Tren de Aragua was sanctioned today pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13581, as amended by E.O. 13863, for being a foreign person that constitutes a significant transnational criminal organization.  </p><p>Additionally, the U.S. Department of State announced reward offers totaling up to $12 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of several Tren de Aragua leaders for conspiring to participate in, or attempting to participate in, transnational organized crime.</p><h3>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS</h3><p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated entity that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons must be blocked and reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons. U.S. persons may face civil or criminal penalties for violations of OFAC’s regulations.</p><p><a href="https://ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions/20240711" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View more information on the entity designated today</a>.</p><p>###</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<time datetime="2024-07-11T22:00:01Z">July 11, 2024</time>
<p><em>As Prepared for Delivery</em> </p><p>Good evening and thank you to the Money Marketeers’ leadership for inviting me to speak with you this evening. I have been to several Money Marketeers events throughout the course of my career and firmly believe in the Money Marketeers’ laudable goal of “establish(ing) greater dialogue between the public and private sector on…substantive issues that move markets.” Consistent with this goal, a broad understanding of the way in which the Treasury Department finances the U.S. government is very much in the best interest of the taxpayer. Tonight, I will seek to demystify that process and explain the core principles that underlie our debt management strategy.</p><p>While Congress decides how much money the government spends and how much to raise in taxes, Treasury is responsible for financing the government. Put succinctly, Treasury is the “how,” not the “how much,” when it comes to debt issuance. In this role, our guiding principle, our North Star, is to finance the government at the least cost over time. Treasury, over decades and across Administrations, has sought to achieve this end through three key and interrelated principles: (1) by promoting a broad and diverse investor base to make the Treasury market the deepest and most liquid market in the world, (2) by being “regular and predictable” in our issuance, and (3) by maintaining a robust process to plan for and understand a range of fiscal outcomes.</p><p>In my remarks this evening, I will discuss our borrowing objectives, some qualities that make the Treasury market unique, details regarding our approach and process to financing the federal government, and the reasons why we employ such an approach. Hopefully, this will provide some useful insights that will deepen the public’s understanding of Treasury’s debt issuance policy decisions.</p><h3>Treasury Borrowing Objective</h3><p>Before I discuss our borrowing objective, it may be instructive to briefly discuss how we determine our borrowing needs.</p><p>Borrowing needs are largely driven by three factors: (1) the deficit, (2), the amount of maturing securities that Treasury needs to refinance, and (3) changes in the size of Treasury’s operational cash buffer. Of these three factors, the most challenging to estimate is of course the deficit. Treasury has an office of career staff – the Office of Fiscal Projections (OFP) – which forecasts deficits over both shorter- and longer-term horizons. OFP estimates daily fiscal flows and our cash balance for the next several quarters, and builds these estimates by staying in regular contact with federal agencies to help forecast outlays and with the Office of Tax Policy at Treasury to estimate receipts. Treasury’s Office of Debt Management meets twice a week with OFP to review the latest cash forecast and formulate its issuance decisions. </p><p>For deficit forecasts beyond the next several quarters, Treasury looks to both internal information and a range of external forecasts – including those produced by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the primary dealers. By carefully evaluating a range of forecasts and the assumptions used to create them, Treasury can get a better sense of how its forecast is evolving relative to other forecasts. Both the shorter-term and longer-term forecasts figure into our decision making and communications around our quarterly borrowing announcements and our debt management policy statements. It is our aim to develop financing plans that are robust to a range of possible outcomes, particularly over longer time horizons. </p><p>As I noted, Treasury’s primary debt management goal – our guiding principle – is to finance the government at the least cost over time. Before describing our strategies, I should clarify what we mean by the phrase “over time.” “Over time” is our recognition that Treasury borrowing is not a one-time event. In thinking about where to issue across the curve, Treasury does not simply find the lowest-yielding instrument at any given point in time and proceed to issue all new securities there.<a href="#ftn1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><sup>[1]</sup></a> Not only would that be impractical due to the amount of borrowing needed, but also, if it did so, yields would rise in response to the concentration of Treasury issuance that saturates demand for that tenor. Then, when Treasury moved to the next cheapest point, the cycle would repeat. It is worth noting that, among other reasons, Treasury issues a variety of instruments to address its borrowing needs because of a desire to source demand from the broadest possible group of investors. For example, money market funds aren’t interested in owning 10-year notes, just as pension funds hold only a small amount of their fixed-income allocations in short-term instruments like Treasury bills.</p><h3>Deepest and Most Liquid Market</h3><p>Turning to debt management strategy, you will often hear Treasury Department officials describe the Treasury market as the deepest and most liquid market in the world. With secondary market trading volume that averages nearly $900 billion per day, investors around the globe use the Treasury market as the safest and most liquid store of value. Among other use cases, Treasury securities are used to express views on the path of interest rates, to provide collateral for loans, to defease liabilities, and to implement monetary policy. Foreign investors play a particularly important role in the Treasury market, holding about 30 percent of outstanding marketable debt.</p><p>The depth and liquidity of the Treasury market is not something we take for granted. Treasury works across the official sector through the Inter-Agency Working Group on Treasury Market Surveillance (IAWG) to pursue policies to enhance the resilience of market liquidity, even in times of stress. Most recently, the IAWG – composed of staff from Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission – has made significant progress toward several goals designed to improve the resilience and liquidity of the Treasury market, particularly in times of market stress. For example:</p><ul><li>Treasury launched a buyback program that provides liquidity support for off-the-run securities, led an effort to implement further enhancements to the public release of data on secondary market transactions in on-the-run Treasury securities, and Treasury’s Office of Financial Research finalized a rule to establish ongoing collection of data on transactions in the non-centrally cleared bilateral repo market.</li><li>The SEC adopted new rules requiring central clearing of certain Treasury securities and repo transactions, and amendments requiring certain firms that are significantly involved in market-making of Treasury securities to register as broker-dealers. The SEC also made changes to reporting forms, with Form N-MFP providing more granular information about the activity of money market funds in the Treasury repurchase agreement and Form PF enabling better monitoring of the activity of liquidity funds and drawing clearer distinctions between cash and derivatives activity in the Treasury markets.</li></ul><p>This work is purposeful, as we understand that taxpayers benefit from Treasury market liquidity through lower borrowing costs. When the secondary market is resilient, deep, and liquid, investors have a greater willingness to buy Treasury securities, knowing that they can liquidate those securities with minimal transaction costs. This directly translates into higher prices – and therefore lower interest costs – for Treasury when it sells those securities at auction in the primary market. </p><h3>The History of “Regular and Predictable”</h3><p>In addition to maintaining a deep and liquid market, Treasury also seeks to follow a regular and predictable issuance framework as a means to finance the government at the least cost over time. </p><p>“Regular and predictable” is a phrase that we use often, but rarely clarify. If you will indulge me, I would like to do a bit of a deep dive into the history of this paradigm, what it means, and the benefits of it.</p><p>It is probably worth noting that “regular and predictable” issuance, when it comes to bill issuance, is something that Treasury has done since the 1930s, but that has not always been the case for longer-dated instruments. Prior to the 1980s, Treasury issuance of longer-dated securities was largely ad hoc and opportunistic, with debt managers making one-off decisions based on their point-in-time view of market conditions and demand.</p><p>For example, in the quarterly refundings of the early 1960s, Treasury offered securities of different tenors with no clear pattern. Looking at 1962, for example, the February refunding included a 4½-year issue, followed by 3¾- and 9½-year issues in May. In August of that year, Treasury offered a 6½-year issue and a 30-year issue, before closing the year in November with 3-year and 9¼-year issues. Following the 30-year bond issue in August 1962, Treasury would not issue such a bond again until July 1964.</p><p>In 1972, Treasury started consistently issuing a 2-year note. However, such regularity of issuance did not apply to other coupon tenors, which suggests that Treasury officials at the time wanted to retain optionality around ad hoc issuance for longer-dated tenors. As the federal debt increased through the first half of the 1970s, the feasibility of an ad hoc approach deteriorated and, by 1975, Treasury debt managers first turned to the regular and predictable approach that has been the cornerstone of our strategy for close to 50 years now.<a href="#_ftn2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><sup>[2]</sup></a> </p><h3>Hallmarks of the “Regular and Predictable” Strategy </h3><p>But what does it mean for issuance to be regular and predictable? At its most basic level, a regular and predictable issuance paradigm’s main characteristic is that the issuance of securities occurs on a consistent, preset schedule. For example, in the United States, Treasury sells all its benchmark securities at a regular cadence; coupon securities are sold once a month with the 2-, 5-, 7-year tenors being sold near the end of every month and the 3-, 10-, 20-, and 30-year tenors being auctioned in the middle of each month. Shorter-tenor securities (i.e., bills) are generally sold weekly, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and floating-rate notes (FRNs) are sold once a month. Each quarter, Treasury publishes a tentative calendar for the following two quarters with all the tentative auction dates; anticipated coupon auction sizes for the upcoming quarter are published in the quarterly refunding statement.</p><p>Similarly, Treasury adjusts issuance sizes and the compositional mix slowly over time. Adjustments are informed by trends in structural demand and Treasury’s assessment of the optimal debt mix to achieve lowest-cost financing over time. One recent example of a shift in structural demand has been the increased demand for bills from money market mutual funds arising from the SEC’s regulatory reforms.</p><p>The aim is to minimize borrowing costs over decades, not respond to short-term changes in market pricing or attempt to time the market to capture technical rate dislocations. To provide as much transparency as practicable to market participants regarding Treasury’s issuance intentions, our borrowing plans are communicated publicly via our quarterly refunding announcements. I will get into more detail on this process in a few minutes. This transparency is meant to reduce unnecessary uncertainty that could result in investors demanding an additional risk premium to hold our debt, which would result in higher borrowing costs for taxpayers. </p><p>While Treasury makes changes to most issuance only gradually, we frequently adjust bill supply when confronted with rapid, seasonal, or unexpected changes in borrowing needs. As a result, we often refer to bills as an issuance “shock absorber.” Because of their low level of interest rate risk, or duration, changing bill issuance is the least disruptive and most cost-effective way to adjust borrowing quickly or for a short period of time, especially for large changes in borrowing needs. </p><p>For example, there is a seasonal increase in bill supply that occurs each February and March during tax refund season, which typically retraces in April as non-withheld and corporate tax receipts rise. Another example is the unexpected change in borrowing needs that Treasury experienced during the COVID pandemic. In 2020, Treasury was able to raise approximately $2.5 trillion in a single quarter by increasing bill financing. This would not have been feasible in longer-term coupon securities.</p><p>Treasury also makes significant changes to bill supply during debt limit impasses. Adjustments to Treasury issuance during such periods results both from the constraints on borrowing during the impasse, as well as the subsequent increase in borrowing to rebuild the cash balance once the impasse is resolved. For example, in the four months following the resolution of last year’s debt limit impasse, we increased the cash balance from a low of $23 billion to roughly $700 billion.</p><p>Our commitment to regular and predictable practices extends beyond our auctions. In May, we launched a buyback program with the stated intent of following a “regular and predictable” process. At the program launch, we published a quarterly schedule of operations to provide investors with more certainty about the timing of the specific weekly opportunities to sell “off-the-run” Treasuries back to us. We plan to continue to publish such schedules in future quarters.</p><p>The regular and predictable paradigm also impacts our thinking about new products. New products are rarely introduced by Treasury and when they are, they are carefully considered. Treasury spends a lot of time thinking about the long-term demand for any new product. We ask ourselves three basic questions: (1) is there likely to be stable demand for such a product over time, (2) would the new product adversely affect demand for existing products, and (3) can the new product be issued in benchmark size? </p><p>The key point is that when we introduce a new product, Treasury wants to be sure that it can commit to that product for the long term because we recognize that market participants, particularly intermediaries, will need to commit resources to supporting that product in both the primary and secondary markets. Investors will also want to be assured that a new product will not disappear soon after it is introduced and leave them with a liquidity-impaired instrument. To garner sustained support from investors and intermediaries, we remain regular and predictable.</p><p>Introducing a new product, however, is rare. When facing changes in borrowing needs, Treasury tends to first make changes to the auction sizes of existing products. These changes are made in a gradual and transparent manner, and changes to coupon sizes generally are in response to well-formed views on structural changes to demand or to changes in borrowing needs. The increase in auction sizes between August 2023 and April 2024 is a good example of such a shift.</p><p>When structural borrowing needs have increased or decreased substantially and changes to auction sizes of existing products have proven insufficient, Treasury has typically met this need by changing the frequency with which it sells existing products. This sort of change is much less frequent and is telegraphed well in advance. An example of this is changes that were made to the TIPS calendar in 2019. A less-frequent option is to add new tenors to existing products, with recent examples including the introductions of 20-year bonds and 6-week, 8-week, and 17-week bills. Least frequent is the introduction of a completely new product type, such as the introduction of TIPS in 1997 or FRNs in 2014.</p><h3>Benefits of Regular and Predictable</h3><p>I have spent a lot of time explaining what “regular and predictable” issuance is and how it works. Now, I will focus on the benefits of this paradigm, some form of which is employed by most of the G7. Smaller sovereign issuers typically use a more opportunistic approach to funding, and that approach works for them. </p><p>As I noted earlier, the primary reason Treasury uses this paradigm is that it lowers the cost of borrowing over time. A regular and predictable debt issuance program helps to imbue benchmark on-the-run securities with a liquidity premium. Treasury’s regular new issue structure encourages activity in the most recently issued securities, which, because of the extra demand for those securities, lowers Treasury’s borrowing costs. This is evidenced by the yield differentials observed between on- and off-the-run Treasury securities. </p><p>A regular and predictable issuance program also facilitates investor planning and encourages broad auction participation because everyone knows when the auctions are and can make investment decisions accordingly. Unlike other approaches, you don’t have to be an “insider” or market expert to invest in Treasury securities. Together with the single-price auction process, where all winning bids are filled at the same clearing level, the regular and predictable schedule is one of the reasons why Treasury auctions get a significant amount of involvement from retail investors. This broad participation benefits taxpayers and investors.</p><p>A regular and predictable issuance paradigm also helps to limit the possibility of Treasury supply decisions serving as a source of market uncertainty and risk. If market participants were worried that Treasury might unexpectedly issue additional securities at a given tenor, they would demand a higher yield when buying those securities to account for this risk. In August 2015, Treasury asked the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (TBAC) to look at the costs and benefits of regular and predictable issuance, and their conclusion was that historically it had saved Treasury tens of billions of dollars over the 17-year period that they examined.<a href="#_ftn3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><sup>[3]</sup></a></p><p>Regular and predictable issuance also help us lower rollover risk by spreading out maturities in a consistent pattern. Spreading out maturities of the securities that we issue limits “lumpiness” in the maturity profile that would otherwise occur if Treasury were to concentrate issuance on a smaller number of maturity dates. A lumpier maturity profile would represent significant risks for Treasury, as a great volume of securities would need to be refinanced on a few key dates.</p><p>Regular and predictable issuance also helps the Treasury market fulfill its role as the most important global risk-free interest rate. For example, it provides a reliable benchmark for other borrowers (including corporate bonds) and for a host of financial products (including interest rate swaps).</p><p>It is also worth noting that government borrowing costs likely would not benefit from Treasury trying to be opportunistic. First, there would be no reason to think Treasury would have a greater ability to predict the direction of interest rates than the market does. Second, any attempt to behave opportunistically and capture perceived “value” opportunities would fail. The market would move well before Treasury could realize the benefits of behaving opportunistically. Treasury announces its activities publicly in advance and relies on market participants to bid competitively in its auctions. Any opportunities that might exist to opportunistically capture value would disappear the moment Treasury announced its intention to capture them. Attempts to move in small increments to capture value would likely have minimal effect given the overall size of the federal debt. Even if there were short-term gains to be had, they would likely be more than offset by greater costs over the long run as market participants priced in an uncertainty premium. </p><p>Finally, our regular and predictable approach allows Treasury to gather feedback from a wide variety of market participants. Seeking the broadest possible range of views helps ensure that Treasury makes the best-informed decisions possible.</p><h3>Debunking Common Misconceptions</h3><p>I would also like to take a few minutes this evening to address some common misunderstandings about Treasury issuance that we often hear in the marketplace.</p><p>One common misperception is that “regular and predictable” means Treasury must never make changes to its issuance plans. This theory rests on the false premise that, once Treasury has a broad issuance plan in motion, it never refines that plan along the way and should ignore market demand signals. History contains many counterexamples; for example, when reducing coupon auction sizes in 2021 and 2022, Treasury reduced 7- and 20-years more, and when increasing auction sizes in 2023 and 2024, Treasury increased those sizes less. Both of these adjustments were made in response to market feedback and our assessment of structural demand. Regular and predictable issuance does not require blind continuation of past practice in the face of new information.</p><p>Another example of this sort of misperception occurred in November 2023. At that time, Treasury made an exceptionally modest adjustment to the pace of auction size increases for longer-dated securities. This was driven by Treasury’s views of structural demand and updates to expected borrowing needs, both of which were informed by a rigorous process that I will describe shortly. Total gross monthly coupon issuance was approximately $300 billion per month at the time, so our adjustment – reducing the pace of increase of 10-, 20-, and 30-year securities by $1 billion per month per security – represented a roughly 1 percent change. This kind of modest adjustment is exactly what the regular and predictable framework calls for. This was not outside of any norms – it was consistent with the expectations of many primary dealers and with the recommendations of the TBAC. </p><p>Another common misperception that bills as a share of total marketable debt need to remain in a 15–20 percent range. This is not the case. Going back to 1980, bills have been as high as 36 percent of Treasury debt and as low as 10 percent and have been in the 15–20 percent range only about 13 percent of the time during that period.<a href="#_ftn4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><sup>[4]</sup></a>The notion of a 15–20 percent range has its roots in late 2020. In November of that year, the TBAC recommended that Treasury allow the bill share to gradually decline into the 15–20 percent range after it had moved briefly above 25 percent to finance the pandemic response. The TBAC’s recommended range was centered below the long-term average of 22 percent, but above the average during the prior decade. In November 2021, the bill share had dropped to 17 percent, and the TBAC reiterated its recommendation to maintain a 15–20 percent range, noting that cuts in coupon issuance were needed to prevent bill supply from dropping too low, which would present risks to market functioning. However, the TBAC emphasized that “there is flexibility in the TBAC’s recommended range for bills to either fall below 15 percent of outstanding stock (in which case excess cash will likely get absorbed by the RRP facility) or for bills to rise modestly above 20 percent while still maintaining financing flexibility for Treasury.” In August 2023, the TBAC reiterated that it was “comfortable running T-bills in the range of their longer-term historical share of 22.4 percent for some time before returning to the recommended 15–20 percent range, in order to maintain a regular and predictable approach to increasing coupon issuance.”</p><p>In short, the TBAC recommendation of a 15–20 percent range is relatively recent, and the TBAC has repeatedly said that Treasury should maintain flexibility on the 15–20 percent range in support of regular and predictable issuance. This is consistent with the “bills as a shock absorber” tenet I described earlier. If the 15–20 percent range were to be considered a hard rule, responding to shocks would require large and rapid changes to coupon auction sizes, contrary to our longstanding approach.</p><h3>Refunding Process</h3><p>Finally, I want to focus a bit on Treasury’s financing process and, in particular, our communication with market participants. Not only is this part of Treasury’s adherence to the regular and predictable framework, but it also builds confidence in our decisions via a thorough process with extensive input from professional career staff and market participants.</p><p>The quarterly refunding – the term for the quarterly process in which changes in debt management policy are considered, made, and communicated – is the most important way that we interact with the market when communicating policies and other details about debt management. This cycle of activity repeats every three months and culminates in our quarterly refunding statement. But there are many steps that take place ahead of that statement. </p><p>Nearly three weeks before Treasury publishes the quarterly refunding statement, career staff at Treasury begin gathering information from market participants that is used as one of several inputs in the development of debt management policy – both for the current quarter and for the longer term. We start by engaging with the primary dealers – institutions that are designated as such by the New York Fed and that are expected to bid their pro rata share in every Treasury auction. We issue a publicly available survey to primary dealers each quarter, the results of which help us to better understand supply and demand dynamics and market expectations for Treasury auctions. In addition to surveying all of the primary dealers each quarter, Treasury meets directly with half of the primary dealers each quarter to gather additional context on their responses.</p><p>On the Monday of refunding week, Treasury announces its estimates for how much the government will need to borrow for the next two quarters. As mentioned earlier, Treasury considers a range of estimates of borrowing needs, including those from OMB, CBO, and the primary dealers. These inputs support the development of the point estimates published as part of this release. Such forecasts are of course subject to uncertainty, including from the course of macroeconomy or legislative changes that impact fiscal flows. In designing its borrowing plan, Treasury seeks to preserve flexibility in managing against a range of potential outcomes for realized borrowing needs.</p><p>The next day (the day before the quarterly refunding statement release), Treasury meets with the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee. The TBAC, a federal advisory committee that has operated in various forms since the 1950s, is charged with providing advice to Treasury on matters related to borrowing and debt management policy. The members of TBAC are senior subject matter experts who represent a broad range of Treasury market investors and intermediaries. The types of firms that are represented on the TBAC include asset managers, primary dealers, money market funds, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds, regional banks, and custodial banks. The broad range of firms on the TBAC ensures that Treasury receives input that represents a diverse set of perspectives. Among other things, the TBAC is asked to provide recommendations about Treasury issuance (getting advice about “how” it should borrow) as well as advice on special topics, referred to as “charges.” While Treasury makes the decisions about issuance, inputs from the primary dealers and from the TBAC ensure that Treasury’s decision making takes into consideration the expectations and recommendations of a broad variety of market participants, both from Treasury market investors and intermediaries. </p><p>Finally, on the Wednesday of refunding week, Treasury announces its anticipated borrowing plans for the quarter, updates on other relevant topics, and tentative auction and buyback schedules. We release materials from the TBAC meeting and hold a live, on-the-record press conference, both available on Treasury’s website. Consistent with the goals of acting in a regular and predictable fashion, the quarterly publication of these materials provides a great degree of transparency about what Treasury is thinking with respect to policy ideas under consideration at that time.</p><p>During each quarter, Treasury also follows a structured process for announcing, auctioning, and settling securities. As coupon auctions are formally announced, the offering sizes are nearly always consistent with the guidance provided at the quarterly refunding.<a href="#_ftn5" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><sup>[5]</sup></a> Similarly, Treasury now formally announces buybacks each week, based on the anticipated schedule released at the quarterly refunding.</p><p>Bill auctions are typically announced each Tuesday and Thursday. Because bill supply is used as an issuance “shock absorber,” Treasury needs to wait for up-to-date information about fiscal flows before finalizing offering sizes. In all cases, there is a regular process for announcing, auctioning, and settling either the sale of securities or purchases made via buybacks.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>I have covered a lot here this evening, and hope that you leave here with a few key takeaways.</p><p>Our mission when it comes to debt issuance is to finance the government at the least cost over time. This mission statement has existed for several decades, and we never lose sight of that North Star. </p><p>We seek to finance the government at the least cost over time in three key ways—first by promoting market liquidity and resilience, second by issuing securities in a regular predictable manner, and finally by utilizing a clear, regular refunding process.</p><p>Market liquidity and resilience benefit taxpayers in the form of lower borrowing costs. Liquidity often comes up in our outreach to investors, and it factors into all of our thinking regarding policies, processes, and regulations related to both the primary and secondary markets. The Treasury market is the deepest and most liquid market in the world, and our goal is to keep it that way. </p><p>We issue securities in a regular and predictable fashion as part of our strategy to borrow at the lowest cost over time. This half-century-old issuance paradigm continues to serve us well. As noted earlier, regular and predictable issuance doesn’t mean that Treasury steadfastly “stays the course” even when presented with new information and situations. That would be inefficient because borrowing needs and investor demand change over time. Instead, being regular and predictable provides a framework for making changes in the least disruptive way possible, which minimizes risks to investors and ultimately translates into lower borrowing costs for Treasury. </p><p>We implement our strategy with clear, regular processes, after seeking a wide range of inputs to inform our decision-making. Treasury provides transparency about its choices, its reasoning, and, as much as practicable, about its issuance plans while retaining flexibility to respond to the unforeseen events that inevitably arise.</p><p>Before I close, I want to recognize the efforts of the many professionals, past and present, who have worked on debt management issues across the Treasury Department over the decades and across Administrations. Most of all, I want to highlight the work of the Office of Debt Management, a team of career staff at Treasury without whom the Treasury market would not be the global standard that it is today.</p><p>Many of the concepts we have talked about this evening, many of the processes that we have discussed, were implemented decades ago and have been refined along the way. But one critical idea has not changed: Treasury continues to aim to finance the government at the least cost over time.</p><p>Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today.</p><p>###</p><p><a href="#_ftnref1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><sub>[1]</sub></a><sub> In addition to the considerations noted in this section, the level of yields at different maturity points is not necessarily the “right” metric.

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C.—</strong>In support of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced awards totaling $52 million for a broad range of small businesses in 39 states. The projects will work to solve a wide range of problems—from cybersecurity for electric vehicle charging infrastructure to new ways to detect radiation threats and new ways to manufacture lithium metal for batteries.  </p><p>“Since Day One, the Biden-Harris Administration has supported small businesses, prompting record growth in the U.S. economy,” said<strong> U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm</strong>. “With research and development grants awarded for small businesses in nearly every state, DOE continues to invest in an industrial strategy that leaves no community behind as we transition to a clean energy economy.” </p><p><a href="https://www.energy.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DOE</a> Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards strive to transform DOE-supported science and technology breakthroughs.     </p><p>Funded through the DOE’s SBIR and STTR programs, today’s selections are primarily for Phase I research and development, with a limited number of Fast-Track (combined Phase I &amp; II awards). Small businesses that demonstrated technical feasibility for innovations during their Phase I grants will compete for funding for prototype or processes development during Phase II. The median Phase I award is $200,000 for a period of six to twelve months.  </p><p>A total of 229 projects will be funded by the following DOE Offices: Cybersecurity, Energy Security and Emergency Response; Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation; Electricity; Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; Fossil Energy and Carbon Management; and Nuclear Energy. Of the new projects announced, 20 projects totaling $8M are funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.    </p><p>The DOE SBIR/STTR program ensures that the U.S. not only remains at the cutting edge in energy science and engineering but also enables those innovations to achieve commercial impact. As <a href="https://www.energy.gov/justice/justice40-initiative" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Justice40</a> covered programs, SBIR/STTR will also ensure that these impacts reach disadvantaged communities. From 2009-2018, previous grantees raised $8.6 billion in private-sector follow-on funding and reported over a thousand inventions and patent applications, evidence of their commitment to commercialization. </p><p>Projects selected for award include:   </p><p><strong>Advanced Grid Technologies, Lancaster, PA, Extending Distribution Transformer Lifetime and Reliability. </strong>Distribution transformers play a vital role in the nation’s electric grid but utility companies are experiencing an unprecedented shortage of new transformers compromising the nation’s ability to expand and maintain access to reliable electricity. This SBIR program will develop a cost-effective approach to extending the lifetime of currently deployed transformers improving the long- term reliability of the electric grid. </p><p><strong>Resonant Link, Inc., Shelburne, VT, Electric Transit Optimization through High-Power Wireless Charging.</strong>  Electrification is critical to advancing sustainable public transit and shared transportation solutions, however, adoption today is challenged by a lack of low-cost, efficient and reliable charging infrastructure.

<p>WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the approval of plans for an additional $10 million in technical assistance (TA) funding allocated to four states, two territories, the District of Columbia, and one Tribal government under the American Rescue Plan Act’s State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) TA Grant Program. Included in these approvals is the first SSBCI TA grant for a Tribal government. </p><p>Part of President Biden’s economic agenda, the SSBCI TA Grant Program supports programs that provide legal, accounting, and financial advisory services to qualifying small businesses. Treasury allocated $200 million by formula to states, the District of Columbia, territories, and Tribal governments for the TA Grant Program and, as of today, has announced awards totaling over $145 million. </p><p>“Today’s announcement reinforces President Biden’s commitment to invest in small businesses and entrepreneurs,”<strong> said U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo. </strong>“Providing help to entrepreneurs like accounting services and legal advice is critical to unlocking their potential for growth and to continuing the nation’s historic small business boom.”</p><p>Reauthorized and expanded by the American Rescue Plan Act, SSBCI is a nearly $10 billion program to support small businesses and entrepreneurship in communities across the United States to promote small business stability, growth, and success- in states, the District of Columbia, territories, and Tribal governments. In addition to the TA Grant Program, Treasury also administers the SSBCI Capital Program, where participating jurisdictions implement credit and equity/venture capital programs to provide capital to small businesses. </p><p>The first Tribal government to receive a TA grant is Levelock Village. Approved for $65,327 in TA grant funding, Levelock Village will use contractors to provide legal and financial advisory services to underserved and very small businesses participating in the Tribe’s SSBCI-supported direct investment program (previously approved for up to $627,054) or seeking other small business support. TA programs like that of Levelock Village – a remote Alaska community accessible only by air or water travel with an economy that relies on local fishing and hunting – will support access to capital and small business support services in Indian Country, which are often banking and TA deserts.  </p><p>The $10 million TA investment also included four states, two territories, and the District of Columbia. This includes Minnesota, which was approved for $1,972,321 in TA grant funding, and will use the Minnesota Small Business Development Center (SBDC) statewide network within the Minnesota Department of Employment &amp; Economic Development to implement its TA program. The SBDC lead center will coordinate with its nine regional SBDC offices around the state, as well as other business service organizations, to identify eligible beneficiaries. Under the management of the SBDC, TA contractors will provide eligible legal and accounting services.</p><p>With today’s announcement, Treasury has announced the approvals of SSBCI TA grants totaling over $145 million and representing 48 states, the District of Columbia, territories, and Tribal governments. Treasury anticipates additional approvals of applications from Tribal governments to follow. <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/State-Small-Business-Credit-Initiative-Technical-Assistance-Application-Approvals.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">See the full list of approved programs here</a>.</p><p>###</p>
