Thanks for sharing this Brian. I had been through the similar Router restrictions a few months ago, but this was not on my radar yet.

If you believe this email may be unsafe, please click on the "Report" button on the top of Outlook. Hello Compliance Colleagues, We're familiar with the ban on Huawei and ZTE communications equipment, and this Wednesday, the FCC published a Public Notice DA 26-786, adding to it's euphemistically termed "Covered List" all "foreign made" inverters. "Covered" in this context means banned from obtaining new FCC equipment authorizations. A de facto complete ban. Here's the link; it looks pretty airtight. How legal is this? If enforced, it will completely torpedo our two new product lines. DA-26-786A1.pdf<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-26-786A1.pdf> How legal is this? My bot says that " By law, additions are mandated only after a determination is made by qualifying U.S. national security agencies (such as the Department of Defense, DHS, or the Office of the Director of National Intelligence)." The 2nd paragraph does state the WH included " appropriate national security expertise, including appropriate national security agencies." Since when did DoD have time to put all non-US inverters on the FCC Covered List? This should be huge news.....
