WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release (No. 1:22-cv-03156; S.D.N.Y. filed Apr. 18, 2022) involving senior executive of Brazilian company Fernando Passos:
* * *
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today the entry of a final consent judgment as to Fernando Passos in the SEC's civil enforcement action that charged Passos, the former executive vice president of finance and investor relations of Brazilian reinsurance company IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A., for allegedly planting a false story with the media and disseminating falsedocuments claiming that Berkshire Hathaway Inc. had recently made a substantial investment in IRB.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in federal district court in New York, Passos, in an effort to boost IRB's stock price following a short seller's report questioning IRB's financial results, fabricated and shared with others a shareholder list that showed Berkshire had made substantial purchases of IRB stock. Passos also allegedly made false and misleading statements to at least four investors and one securities analyst concerning Berkshire's purported investment in IRB. According to the complaint, IRB's stock price rose by more than 6 percent after the media reported the false Berkshire news, and subsequently dropped by more than 40 percent after Berkshire's public denial that it had ever invested, or intended to invest, in IRB.
Without admitting or denying the allegations, Passos consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining him from violating the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, barring him from serving as an officer or director of a public company, and imposing a civil penalty of $500,000. The final judgment was entered by the Court on February 25, 2026.
The SEC's litigation against Passos was conducted by Zachary Carlyle and Jodanna Haskins and supervised by Gregory Kasper and Nicholas Heinke, all of the SEC's Denver Regional Office. The SEC's investigation was conducted by Jeffrey Lyons and supervised by Ian Karpel.

NRC Kickstarts Process for Creating Regulatory Framework for Fusion Machines: 90-Day Comment Period Begins
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission today published a proposed rule on regulatory requirements and guidance for fusion machines. These requirements will establish a technologyneutral regulatory framework that will enable the safe use and deployment of fusion technology.
Fusion energy relies on the process of combining atomic nuclei to release energy safely and the proposedrule provides a pathway for its commercial use. NRC's Principles of Good Regulation--independence, openness, efficiency, clarity, reliability--shape the approach to regulating the emerging fusion industry and make it suitable for commercial-scale fusion technologies.
This advances capabilities that fulfill the congressional direction in the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act of 2019, and the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advance Nuclear for Clear Energy Act of 2024, to establish an efficient and predictable regulatory framework for emerging nuclear technologies, ensuring the NRC remains a global leader in nuclear safety regulation.
Comments will be accepted for 90 days, through May 27, with at least one public meeting during the comment period to present the proposed rule. Details about the public meeting will be provided later. Comments can be submitted via Regulations.gov, under Docket ID NRC-2023-0071; by email to Rulemaking.Comments@nrc.gov; or directly mailed to SECY, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff.
* * *
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission was created as an expert, technical agency to protect public health, safety, and security, and regulate the civilian use of nuclear materials, including enabling the deployment of nuclear power for the benefit of society. Among other responsibilities, the agency issues licenses, conducts inspections, initiates and enforces regulations, and plans for incident response. The NRC is collaborating with interagency partners to implement reforms outlined in new Executive Orders and the ADVANCE Act to streamline agency activities and enhance efficiency

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 -- The Federal Communications Commission Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau issued the following public notice (CG Docket No. 10-213) on Feb. 26, 2026:
* * *
I. INTRODUCTION
1. The Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB or Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) seeks comment in connection with its biennial report required by the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA)./1 The biennial report must be submitted to Congress by October 8, 2026./2 In this Public Notice, we invite comment on compliancewith statutory mandates for telecommunications and advanced communications services (ACS), equipment used with these services, and Internet browsers built into mobile phones, to be accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. Furthermore, we seek comment on the extent that accessibility barriers still exist with respect to new communications technologies and the effect of CVAA recordkeeping and enforcement requirements on the development and deployment of new communications technologies./3
II. BACKGROUND
2. The CVAA requires the Commission to submit a biennial report to Congress on: (1) the level of compliance with the CVAA's communications accessibility obligations found in sections 255, 716, and 718 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act); (2) the extent to which accessibility barriers still exist with respect to new communications technologies; (3) the effect of the recordkeeping and enforcement requirements on the development and deployment of new communications technologies; and (4) information about complaints received by the Commission alleging violations of sections 255, 716, and 718./4 The Commission has submitted biennial reports to Congress since 2012./5 After we receive comments in response to this Notice, the Bureau will prepare and seek comment on its tentative findings for the 2026 report./6
3. Section 255 and the Commission's implementing regulations require telecommunications and interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service providers and equipment manufacturers to make their services and equipment accessible to and usable by people with disabilities, if "readily achievable."/7 The Commission has defined services covered under section 255 to include local and long distance telephone service, call waiting, speed dialing, call forwarding, computer-provided directory assistance, call monitoring, caller identification, call tracing, and repeat dialing./8 Equipment covered under section 255 includes, but is not limited to, customer premises equipment such as wireline, cordless, and wireless telephones, fax machines, and answering machines./9 In addition, rules adopted pursuant to section 255 cover voicemail and interactive voice response systems./10
4. Section 716 requires ACS providers and equipment manufacturers to make their services and equipment accessible to and usable by people with disabilities, unless doing so is "not achievable."/11 These requirements apply to providers of non-interconnected VoIP services, electronic messaging services, interoperable video conferencing services, and any audio or video communications service used by inmates for the purpose of communicating with individuals outside the correctional institution where the inmate is held, regardless of technology used, and to manufacturers of equipment used with these services./12 Section 718 requires Internet browsers built into mobile phones to be accessible to and usable by people who are blind or visually impaired, if achievable./13 Section 717 requires covered entities to keep records of their efforts to implement sections 255, 716, and 718./14 Section 717 also requires the Commission to investigate informal complaints alleging violations of these provisions and to issue orders on the outcomes of these investigations within 180 days of their filing./15 Before filing an informal complaint under this section, a consumer must submit a "request for dispute assistance" (RDA) with the Commission's Disability Rights Office (DRO). The DRO will assist the consumer and the service provider or equipment manufacturer for a minimum of 30 days to resolve the accessibility dispute./16
III. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTIONS 255, 716, AND 718
5. Accessibility. We seek comment on the current level of compliance with sections 255 and 716 to make telecommunications and advanced communications services and equipment accessible to and usable by people with disabilities./17 Which products or services are not accessible or usable and how does that impact advanced communications or telecommunications? For the specific product or service at issue, are the input, control, and mechanical functions of telecommunications and advanced communications services and equipment locatable, identifiable, and operable (1) without vision, hearing, speech, or color perception; (2) with limited vision, hearing, color perception, manual dexterity, reach and strength, or cognitive skills; (3) with prosthetic devices; and (4) without time-dependent controls?/18 Where services and devices are not natively accessible, do service providers and manufacturers make them compatible with peripheral devices and specialized customer premises equipment commonly used by people with disabilities to achieve access?/19 If services and devices are sold with a range of different features, functions, and prices, are these devices and services accessible to people with disabilities?
6. We also seek comment on the extent that providers are complying with the obligations of section 718 to make Internet browsers built into mobile phones accessible for people who are blind or visually impaired./20 Are the input, control, and mechanical functions of Internet browsers built into mobile phones locatable, identifiable, and operable by people without vision or with limited vision? Are accessible Internet browsers offered in mobile phones across a range of low-end and high-end features, functions, and prices? How easy is it to find such phones?
7. We also seek comment on the issues and conclusions that the Bureau considered in the 2024 CVAA Biennial Report regarding accessibility obligations contained in sections 255, 716, and 718. In that report, the Bureau found that "accessibility of telecommunications and advanced communications services and equipment continues to improve; however, some accessibility gaps remain."/21 How does the evolution of customizable features and apps impact accessibility for consumers with disabilities? For example, how have the proliferation of automatic captioning, the incorporation of Bluetooth technology, changes in display options or hearing aid compatibility improved the communications experience for persons with disabilities? Are there ongoing accessibility barriers to using interoperable video conferencing services?/22 Are there particular barriers to accessing emergency alerting and notifications for people who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have speech or other disabilities? Have there been important improvements or new developments since 2024? Which accessibility barriers persist?
8. Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Product and Service Design and Development. We seek comment on the extent to which manufacturers and service providers have included people with disabilities and consumer disability organizations in their market research, product design, testing, pilot demonstrations, and product trials. In the 2024 CVAA Biennial Report, the Bureau found that "covered entities have continued to include people with disabilities in product and service design and development, although there remains room for improvement."/23 We seek comment on any new developments since 2024, and whether there are engagement and consultation approaches that are particularly effective.
9. Usability: Information, Documentation, and Training. In addition to requiring accessibility, sections 255, 716, and 718 require telecommunications, ACS, and Internet browsers built into mobile phones to be usable by people with disabilities, i.e., to provide accessible information and documentation for the product or service, including instructions, product or service information (including information on accessibility features), customer service, and technical support./24 In the 2024 CVAA Biennial Report, the Bureau found that "while usability continues to improve for some covered services and equipment, there is still room for improvement."/25
10. We seek updated information on the extent to which telecommunications and advanced communications services providers and manufacturers are ensuring the usability of their offerings through, for example, accessible user guides, bills, installation guides, and product support communications./26 To what extent are service providers and equipment manufacturers covered under section 718 ensuring access to information and documentation about the Internet browsers that are built into their mobile phones?/27 Are companies providing user guides, documentation, and other information in braille and other alternate formats? Are companies training their customer service representatives, technical support personnel, sales personnel, and others having direct contact with the public on the accessibility of their products and services?
11. Finally, we seek comment on any other issues relevant to assessing the level of compliance with sections 255, 716, and 718 and the Commission's implementing rules governing the accessibility and usability of telecommunications and advanced communications services and equipment, and Internet browsers built into mobile phones.
IV. ACCESSIBILITY BARRIERS TO NEW COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES
12. The CVAA requires the Commission to include, in its biennial report, an evaluation of the extent to which any accessibility barriers exist with respect to "new communications technologies."/28 In 2024, the Bureau found that "accessibility barriers persist with respect to new communications technologies, although the Commission and other groups are actively working towards addressing those barriers."/29 We seek comment on advances made to address those accessibility barriers referenced in 2024, and newly emerging accessibility issues that have arisen since then. For example, are there new devices or services that incorporate telecommunications, ACS, and web browsing features that have accessibility barriers for consumers with disabilities that are ongoing? Are there particular accessibility barriers with respect to automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, artificial intelligence, or other advances or new communications technologies? For ACS products and services that are in the pipeline, what steps are being undertaken to ensure their accessibility and usability?
V. EFFECT OF ACCESSIBILITY RECORDKEEPING AND ENFORCEMENT REQUIREMENTS
13. As required by the CVAA, we seek comment on the effect of the accessibility recordkeeping and enforcement requirements, which apply to entities that are subject to sections 255, 716, or 718, on the development and deployment of new communications technologies./30 No comments were filed on this as for the 2024 CVAA Biennial Report, and the Bureau found that there has been no effect on the development and deployment of new communications technologies./31
VI. PROCEDURAL MATTERS
14. Ex Parte Rules. The proceeding this Notice initiates shall be treated as a "permit-but-disclose" proceeding in accordance with the Commission's ex parte rules./32 Persons making ex parte presentations must file a copy of any written presentation or a memorandum summarizing any oral presentation within two business days after the presentation (unless a different deadline applicable to the Sunshine period applies). Persons making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that memoranda summarizing the presentation must (1) list all persons attending or otherwise participating in the meeting at which the ex parte presentation was made, and (2) summarize all data presented and arguments made during the presentation.
