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").

Data Breach Bill Forthcoming, But Critics Find Fault
June 24, 2005 by Andrew Noyes and Greg Piper|Miscellaneous

Companies would have to make data security breaches public, and those failing to tell consumers when they may be at risk of ID theft could face criminal prosecution, under a bill expected this week from Senate Judiciary Committee Chmn. Specter (Pa.) and Ranking Democrat Leahy (Vt.). The measure comes less than a week after MasterCard said a breach might have exposed 40 million credit cards to fraud. After a string of high-profile breaches involving ChoicePoint, Lexis Nexis and others, Congress and state legislatures have been inundated with proposals to clamp down on ID theft and tighten controls on entities that collect and distribute data.

Miscellaneous International Trade Notices

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a notice announcing that it has renewed the affirmative finding for the Government of Mexico under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). This affirmative finding allows yellowfin tuna harvested in the Eastern Tropical Pacific in compliance with the International Dolphin Conservation Program (IDCP) by Mexican-flag purse seine vessels or purse seine vessels operating under Mexican jurisdiction to be imported into the U.S., effective April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006. NOAA explains that every 5 years, governments must request an affirmative finding and submit certain documentation. In addition, on an annual basis, NOAA will review the affirmative finding and determine whether the harvesting nation continues to meet the requirements.

FTC Commissioners Skeptical of ‘Floor’ Provision for Data-Breach Notification
June 17, 2005 by Greg Piper|Miscellaneous

FTC comrs. quibbled Thurs. with senators over identity (ID) theft provisions in current legislation. A Senate Commerce hearing also featured senators who aren’t on the committee pushing for more stringent ID theft provisions and a state attorney general defending states’ role in drafting ID theft laws. The hearing’s timing was fortuitous for the FTC, which announced a settlement Thurs. with a firm that suffered a breach (see separate story). Also Thurs., a security breach at the FDIC was made public. The agency told employees last week their sensitive personal data had been breached early last year and was used to get fraudulent loans in a “small number of cases,” the Washington Post reported.
