Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

Senate FY18 Agriculture Spending Bill Would Set Deadline for FSIS to Determine Foreign Catfish Equivalence
July 21, 2017 by Brian Bradley|Congress

The Senate Appropriations Committee on July 20 advanced fiscal year 2018 agriculture spending legislation (here) that would require the Food Safety and Inspection Service to determine inspection equivalence no later than March 1 for all countries that want to continue exporting catfish to the U.S., according to the bill’s committee report (here). The report directs FSIS to complete country-by-country equivalence determinations “based on volume of catfish exports to the United States.” The bill matches the $1 billion outlined for total FSIS funding in the House Appropriations Committee-approved version, and would provide $953.2 million for the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, $46.8 million above the amount outlined in the House version.

House Appropriators Clear FY18 Funding Bill Urging CPSC to Nix Voluntary Recall Proposal
July 14, 2017 |Congress

The House Appropriations Committee on July 13 approved fiscal year 2018 Financial Services and General Government spending legislation urging the Consumer Product Safety Commission to withdraw a November 2013 proposed rule that would make voluntary corrective action plans legally binding, the committee announced (here). “Despite overwhelming opposition, the Commission has failed to withdraw its proposed rule on voluntary recalls,” the committee report of the bill says (here). “The Committee opposes making unnecessary changes to a recall system that has worked well over the past 40 years.” If finalized, the rule would hurt small businesses, the report states. Under CPSC’s proposal, once a company voluntarily agrees to undertake a corrective action plan pursuant to a voluntary recall, the company would be legally bound to fulfill the terms of the agreement (see 13112028).
