UPDATE: [Close of Comments on Commerce Cyber Rule]
Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.20.22
On January 12, 2022 the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a federal register notice delaying the effective date of new controls on cybersecurity items and an accompanying new license exception. The rules are now set to take effect on March 7, 2022.
The new controls were published in an interim final rule on October 21, 2021, please see our earlier client alert on this. Broadly speaking, they cover (a) items, including software, for the generation, command and control, or delivery of intrusion software and (b) internet protocol (IP) network communication surveillance equipment. BIS delayed the implementation to give industry additional time to comply with the new restrictions as well as update internal compliance procedures, and to provide BIS itself time to provide additional guidance on the rule. BIS may also consider some modifications to the rule, but is not reopening the comment period and these modifications based on the latest comments will most likely be made, if at all, sometime after the new effective date for the interim final rule.

New Post Appeals Mediation Pilot Program
On October 1, 2025, the IRS Independent Office of Appeals launched a two-year pilot program to make Post Appeals Mediation (PAM) more attractive and accessible to taxpayers. See IRS Announcement 2025-10. The new PAM pilot program offers taxpayers the opportunity to be assigned to a new Appeals team, which is otherwise unconnected to the underlying case, who will represent the original Appeals team in the mediation session. The assignment of the new Appeals team does not begin a new appeals process but rather is intended to help facilitate an expedited and impartial look at the underlying case with the goal of further exploring all potential paths to resolution prior to litigation.
