Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
The FCC adopted a Report and Order (FCC 25-49) on 7 August 2025 — the first comprehensive overhaul of submarine cable landing license rules since 2001 — effective 26 November 2025. The order prohibits Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) agreements that would give entities from designated foreign adversary countries (China including Hong Kong and Macau, Cuba, Iran, DPRK, Russia, and Venezuela) control over Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE) on US cable landings, and mandates new annual reporting plus certification/disclosure requirements covering ownership, cybersecurity and physical security plans, and FCC Covered List compliance. The order operationalises the FCC's bifurcated policy package: accelerating legitimate commercial cable buildout while hardening national-security review for foreign-adversary-connected infrastructure.
On 16 January 2025 the US Bureau of Industry and Security published an interim final rule (90 FR 4598; FR Doc 2025-00723) creating new ECCN 3A069 for high-parameter flow cytometers and liquid chromatography mass spectrometers specially designed for top-down proteomics, plus new ECCN 3E069 for related development and production technology. Items previously controlled under the catch-all ECCN 3A999 are migrated into the dedicated 3A069 classification, which carries National Security (NS), Regional Stability (RS), and Anti-Terrorism (AT) controls. Licensing policy is presumption of denial for destinations in Country Group D:1 and D:5, Macau, and Country Group E (i.e. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Venezuela). The rule also adds new EEI/AES filing requirements (§ 758.1(b)(11)) for all 3A069 exports to Country Group D destinations. Public comments were accepted until 17 March 2025.
