A Treasury Department rule published Nov. 10 prohibits certain fund transfers involving MEXC Global from Dec. 10 over Russian illicit finance concerns, the department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network said.
The prohibition covers MEXC Global and its subsidiaries, branches, offices and successor entities operating outside the United States. FinCEN designated the overseas financial institution a primary money laundering concern in connection with Russian illicit finance.
The rule gives notice of an order under the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act, as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. It prohibits certain transfers involving MEXC Global, rather than imposing a prohibition on every transaction involving the institution.
Separate Agriculture Department proposals published Nov. 10 would change work-related limits and eligibility rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which provides food assistance. The department's Food and Nutrition Administration set Dec. 10 deadlines for comments on both proposals.
The work requirements proposal would put into regulations changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 affecting a three-month benefit limit for certain participants. It would change which groups qualify for exceptions and how areas qualify for waivers of that limit.
The proposal also would add temporary good faith exemptions in Alaska and Hawaii, strengthen requirements for requesting waivers and revise the program's definition of a homeless individual. It is a proposed rule.
The second proposal would narrow the types of benefits that qualify households for food assistance through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Current regulations include cash assistance and noncash benefits or services financed by that program. The proposal would restrict that route to households receiving assistance under the federal regulatory definition.
A Federal Aviation Administration final rule published Nov. 10 gives owners and operators more inspection options for single-engine turbine-powered airplanes and unmanned aircraft. The Transportation Department agency set Jan. 11, 2027, as its effective date. The rule also eases mechanical reliability reporting requirements and clarifies maintenance regulations.
Another FAA rule published and effective Nov. 10 establishes additional safety standards for Gulfstream Aerospace's GVII-G400 airplane. It addresses a system designed to prevent excessive or overly rapid nose-up rotation during takeoff.
Existing airworthiness standards do not adequately cover that feature, the agency said. Comments close Dec. 28.
The FAA also proposed replacing an existing safety directive covering all Leonardo AW189 helicopters with requirements reflecting new or tighter operating and maintenance limits. The Nov. 10 proposal would require revisions to maintenance instructions and approved maintenance or inspection programs. Comments close Dec. 28.
