                -  Government-by-Government Assessments: Sudan 

## Government-by-Government Assessments: Sudan

This assessment covers activities carried out during the review period by the previous, civilian-led transitional government prior to the October 25, 2021 military takeover.  The previous, civilian-led government published its executive budget proposal and enacted budget within a reasonable period.  The military authorities did not publish an end-of-year report within a reasonable period.  It did not provide information on debt obligations, including for major state-owned enterprises.  The civilian-led government’s budget estimates deviated from budget execution, and it did not produce and publicly issue revised budget estimates.  Budget documents did not include off-budget military revenue and expenditures.  The supreme audit institution did not conduct audits that covered the entire annual executed budget, and the military authorities did not publish audits that were conducted by the previous government in a reasonable period.  The civilian-led government specified in law or regulation but did not appear to follow in practice the criteria and procedures for awarding natural resource extraction licenses and contracts.  Basic information on natural resource extraction awards was not publicly available.

Sudan’s fiscal transparency would be improved by:

- Publishing an end-of-year report within a reasonable period;
- Publishing information on debt obligations, including for state-owned enterprises;
- Eliminating off-budget accounts or subjecting them to adequate audit and oversight;
- Re-establishing civilian oversight over military and intelligence budgets;
- Ensuring budget estimates align with actual revenues and expenditures and issuing revised budget estimates if they do not;
- Ensuring the supreme audit institution audits the government’s executed budget within a reasonable period and publishes its reports;
- Adhering to the process for awarding natural resources extraction contracts and licenses as set out in law; and
- Making information on natural resource extraction awards publicly available.

[[81 FR 76297](https://www.federalregister.gov/citation/81-FR-76297), Nov. 2, 2016]
§ 221.120 Allocation of stock collateral to purpose and nonpurpose credits to same customer. ( a ) A bank proposes to extend two credits (Credits A and B) to its customer. Although the two credits are proposed to be extended at the same time, each would be evidenced by a separate agreement. Credit A would be extended for the purpose of providing the customer with working capital (nonpurpose credit), collateralized by margin stock. Credit B would be extended for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (purpose credit), without collateral or on collateral other than stock.
( b ) This part allows a bank to extend purpose and nonpurpose credits simultaneously or successively to the same customer. This rule is expressed in § 221.3(d)(4) which provides in substance that for any nonpurpose credit to the same customer, the lender shall in good faith require as much collateral not already identified to the customer's purpose credit as the lender would require if it held neither the purpose loan nor the identified collateral. This rule in § 221.3(d)(4) also takes into account that the lender would not necessarily be required to hold collateral for the nonpurpose credit if, consistent with good faith banking practices, it would normally make this kind of nonpurpose loan without collateral.
( c ) The Board views § 221.3(d)(4), when read in conjunction with § 221.3(c) and (f), as requiring that whenever a lender extends two credits to the same customer, one a purpose credit and the other nonpurpose, any margin stock collateral must first be identified with and attributed to the purpose loan by taking into account the maximum loan value of such collateral as prescribed in § 221.7 (the Supplement).
( d ) The Board is further of the opinion that under the foregoing circumstances Credit B would be indirectly secured by stock, despite the fact that there would be separate loan agreements for both credits. This conclusion flows from the circumstance that the lender would hold in its possession stock collateral to which it would have access with respect to Credit B, despite any ostensible allocation of such collateral to Credit A.

PER CURIAM:

William Scott Davis, Jr., appeals the district court’s order striking several motions 

from the docket. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Davis, No. 5:14-cr00240-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 14, 2022). We deny a certificate of appealability as 

unnecessary, see Harbison v. Bell, 556 U.S. 180, 183 (2009), and deny Davis’ motions for 

a new trial and for reassignment to a different district judge. We dispense with oral 

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials 

before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

# National Information Literacy Awareness Month, 2009 

Every day, we are inundated with vast amounts of information. A 24-hour news cycle and thousands of global television and radio networks, coupled with an immense array of online resources, have challenged our long-held perceptions of information management. Rather than merely possessing data, we must also learn the skills necessary to acquire, collate, and evaluate information for any situation. This new type of literacy also requires competency with communication technologies, including computers and mobile devices that can help in our day-to-day decisionmaking. National Information Literacy Awareness Month highlights the need for all Americans to be adept in the skills necessary to effectively navigate the Information Age.

Though we may know how to find the information we need, we must also know how to evaluate it. Over the past decade, we have seen a crisis of authenticity emerge. We now live in a world where anyone can publish an opinion or perspective, whether true or not, and have that opinion amplified within the information marketplace. At the same time, Americans have unprecedented access to the diverse and independent sources of information, as well as institutions such as libraries and universities, that can help separate truth from fiction and signal from noise.

Our Nation’s educators and institutions of learning must be aware of—and adjust to—these new realities. In addition to the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic, it is equally important that our students are given the tools required to take advantage of the information available to them. The ability to seek, find, and decipher information can be applied to countless life decisions, whether financial, medical, educational, or technical.

This month, we dedicate ourselves to increasing information literacy awareness so that all citizens understand its vital importance. An informed and educated citizenry is essential to the functioning of our modern democratic society, and I encourage educational and community institutions across the country to help Americans find and evaluate the information they seek, in all its forms.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 2009 as National Information Literacy Awareness Month. I call upon the people of the United States to recognize the important role information plays in our daily lives, and appreciate the need for a greater understanding of its impact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.

# Regulatory Review

# Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

For well over two decades, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has reviewed Federal regulations.  The purposes of such review have been to ensure consistency with Presidential priorities, to coordinate regulatory policy, and to offer a dispassionate and analytical “second opinion” on agency actions.  I strongly believe that regulations are critical to protecting public health, safety, our shared resources, and our economic opportunities and security.  While recognizing the expertise and authority of executive branch departments and agencies, I also believe that, if properly conducted, centralized review is both legitimate and appropriate as a means of promoting regulatory goals.

The fundamental principles and structures governing contemporary regulatory review were set out in Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993.  A great deal has been learned since that time.  Far more is now known about regulation—not only about when it is justified, but also about what works and what does not.  Far more is also known about the uses of a variety of regulatory tools such as warnings, disclosure requirements, public education, and economic incentives.  Years of experience have also provided lessons about how to improve the process of regulatory review.  In this time of fundamental transformation, that process—and the principles governing regulation in general—should be revisited.

I therefore direct the Director of OMB, in consultation with representatives of regulatory agencies, as appropriate, to produce within 100 days a set of recommendations for a new Executive Order on Federal regulatory review.  Among other things, the recommendations should offer suggestions for the relationship between OIRA and the agencies; provide guidance on disclosure and transparency; encourage public participation in agency regulatory processes; offer suggestions on the role of cost-benefit analysis; address the role of distributional considerations, fairness, and concern for the interests of future generations; identify methods of ensuring that regulatory review does not produce undue delay; clarify the role of the behavioral sciences in formulating regulatory policy; and identify the best tools for achieving public goals through the regulatory process.

This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

                        The Director of OMB is hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the                         *Federal Register*.

                    SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE STEELCASE INC.
                          INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN


         WHEREAS, Steelcase Inc. (the "Company") has established and maintains
the Steelcase Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"); and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 17.1, the Company has reserved to its
Board of Directors the right to amend the Plan at any time; and

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has delegated to its
Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") the necessary authority to
amend the Plan; and

         WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee approved amendment of the Plan to
increase the number of shares available under the Plan by eight million
(8,000,000).

         NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES, the first paragraph of
Section 4.1 of the Plan is amended, effective as of the date approved by a vote
of the shareholders, to read as follows:

         "4.1. NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS. Subject to adjustment as
         provided in Section 4.2 herein, the number of Shares hereby reserved
         for issuance to Participants under the Plan shall be fourteen million,
