On this Thursday edition of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen is broadcasting live from behind the Petroserve USA microphones, tracking critical dynamics ahead of Tuesday's highly anticipated primary election. The high stakes of low-turnout cycles take center stage as the show highlights how an underwhelming voter showing allows minor localized factions to completely dictate state trajectories. The premiere segment features an intensive discussion with freshly appointed Public Service Commissioner Jill Kringsted, who pulls back the curtain on how a background in auditing has empowered her to challenge out-of-state environmental mandates and protect North Dakota ratepayers. Later in the hour, Minnesota House Minority Leader Lisa Demeth stops by to break down her historic decision to bypass the chaotic GOP convention endorsement process in Duluth and take her gubernatorial campaign directly to a statewide primary vote. Plus, dynamic insights from Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Executive Director Robbie Lauf on the historic tech integration dropping in Medora, and an on-air debate with Fargo mayoral candidate Josh Boschee regarding budget metrics and out-of-state fundraising. Standout Moments & Timestamps The Reality of the June Primary: Scott challenges the electorate on voter apathy, detailing why municipal choices directly shape the lion's share of local property tax burdens. Fact-Finding at the Public Service Commission: Commissioner Jill Kringsted describes the judicial role of the PSC, explaining why commissioners must strictly evaluate infrastructural applications based on state law rather than shifting political winds. Securing the Nation's Lowest Electric Rates: Kringsted drops a staggering statistic showing that North Dakota leads the country in energy affordability, saving local consumers over a quarter-billion dollars compared to neighboring regions. Defending the Grid from Minnesota's Mandates: Jill details her first six months on the commission, which included launching an essential federal lawsuit to block states like Minnesota and Illinois from passing green energy infrastructural compliance costs onto North Dakota families. Sifting Through the Candidate Field: Scott evaluates the technical qualifications required to manage massive utility oversight, officially endorsing Jill Kringsted for the six-year term. The Tragic Turning Point in the Badlands: Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Director Robbie Lauf shares the moving backstory behind TR's historic dairy entry on Valentine's Day in 1884 and his subsequent rebirth in North Dakota. The First AI-Integrated Presidential Library: Lauf previews the groundbreaking Large Language Model framework opening on July 4th, which will allow visitors to hold real-time, interactive, hours-long conversations with a digital reflection of Teddy…

La directora de la Guardia Civil, Mercedes González, no ha tenido más remedio que admitir que se reunió tres veces con la exmilitante del PSOE, con Leire Díez. González asegura, en un comunicado, que nunca habló con Díez sobre el Partido Socialista y que dejaron de verse cuando la exmilitante le pidió reincorporar a un agente que estaba detenido por el 'caso Koldo'. El Gobierno, después de negarlo, terminó confirmando estos encuentros "informales". La OCU pide acceso a las cuentas del PSOE y del PSC del 2024 y 2025, años en los que Leire Díez habría desplegado las maniobras de desinformación. Piden además que la Agencia Tributaria recabe disposiciones en efectivo, bienes, muebles o inmuebles. La Guardia Civil se incautó de una guía que la propia Leire Díez había elaborado de todos los proyectos y los frentes que tenía abiertos. 

La UCO ha pedido acceso a las cuentas bancarias del PSOE y del PSC de 2024 a 2025, años en los que se desarrollaron las operaciones de Leire Díez. Mientras tanto, continúan el baile de versiones sobre las reuniones de la exmilitante socialista y la directora de la Guardia Civil, Mercedes González. El Ministerio de Interior negó esas reuniones, pero luego pasó a no desmentir que se hubiesen visto, simplemente negó que hubiese sido en la sede de la Guardia Civil. A última hora de la noche, la propia González admitió esas reuniones, pero se desvinculó de cualquier operación contra ninguna el cuerpo y de haber interferido en alguna investigación. La UCO registró durante 10 horas la sede de la empres de Tubos Reunidos, una empresa que también fue rescatada por el Estado por 112 millones de euros y en lo que la Guardia Civil sospecha que interfirió Santos Cerdán.

En el análisis de hoy con Javier Aroca, Mariola Urrea y Carlos Navarro Antolín. Después de que el informe de la UCO señalara directamente a la Directora General de la Guardia Civil, ha sido ella misma quien ha emitido un comunicado en el que viene a confirmar lo que -hasta ahora- habían negado en Interior. Mercedes González dice que sí: que sí se reunió con Leire Díez. Aunque no con el propósito que dice la UCO. Además los agentes han pedido al Juez que solicite todos los movimientos bancarios del PSOE y del PSC entre 2024 y 2025, que son los años en los que -supuestamente- la trama operó. También ha pedido un informe a Hacienda porque sospechan de una serie de pagos efectuados al medio Crónica Libre: un diario digital que publicó los audios recabados por Leire Díez.

In this session from the 7th Annual HVACR Training Symposium in Florida, Eric "Elk" Kaiser delivers a comprehensive workshop on airflow testing and measurement. Eric opens by challenging technicians to think beyond simply pointing an instrument at a duct and reading a number. Before selecting any tool, he argues, professionals must understand exactly what they are measuring — whether that is velocity, pressure, volume (CFM), or the mass weight of air — and why each of those values matters for designing ductwork, sizing equipment, and delivering comfort to customers. The session sets the stage for a deeper technical conversation about the physics of air and how those physics affect measurement accuracy in the real world. A significant portion of the presentation focuses on air density and how it affects the accuracy of common industry formulas. Eric walks through the origin of the widely-used 1.08 and 4.5 airflow constants, explaining that they are derived from a theoretical "standard air" condition of sea level pressure (14.7 PSIA) and 0% relative humidity — conditions that virtually no technician encounters in the field. He demonstrates how changes in altitude, temperature, and humidity all shift air density, causing those constants to become variables. For technicians working at elevations above 2,500 feet, the density difference can exceed 10%, enough to significantly skew BTU calculations and equipment performance assessments if left uncorrected. Eric also walks through a real-world scenario involving measurements taken across an operating evaporator coil, where a 3.4% density shift between return and supply could easily be misread as duct leakage. The workshop then moves into a thorough survey of airflow measurement instruments and the specific conditions each one is best suited for. Eric covers vane anemometers (large and mini), hot wire anemometers, pitot tubes, flow hoods (passive and active/fan-powered), flow boxes, the temperature rise method, and the digital TrueFlow grid. For each tool, he discusses accuracy considerations, density correction requirements, velocity limitations, placement requirements, and common mistakes. He is candid about the limitations of manufacturer performance charts, sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how one manufacturer evaluated static pressure using a six-foot plenum and four averaging probes — conditions that bear no resemblance to a cramped residential closet with a coil slammed on top of the furnace. The takeaway is that no chart, regardless of source, should be trusted without understanding the conditions under which it was created. Throughout the session, Eric emphasizes a core professional philosophy: understand your instruments, understand their limitations, and understand what level of accuracy is truly needed for the job at hand. He introduces the concept of stacked inaccuracies — where instrument error combines with density correction error to produce readings that can mislead technicians into diagnosing problems that do not exist, or missing ones that do. He concludes with a strong endorsement of the digital TrueFlow grid for residential applications, highlighting its app-based forecasting feature that allows technicians to predict whether a new piece of equipment will work on an existing duct system before the installation begins. The session closes with audience Q&A covering topics such as using density-correcting instruments to compare supply and return readings, and measuring airflow in systems with multiple filter grilles. Topics Covered What airflow measurement actually captures: velocity, pressure, volume (CFM), and mass weight of air — and why the distinction matters The origin and limitations of the 1.08 and 4.5 airflow constants, and when technicians must correct for non-standard air conditions How air density changes with altitude, temperature, and humidity — including a 22% density drop from sea level to 5,000 feet elevation Real-world example: how a 3.4% density shift across an operating evaporator coil can be mistaken for duct leakage Instrument selection overview: large vane anemometers, mini vane anemometers, hot wire anemometers, pitot tubes, and in-duct flow devices Passive vs. active (fan-powered) flow hoods — accuracy differences and the importance of using residential hoods for residential applications Proper probe placement for in-duct measurements: ASHRAE guidelines, straight-run requirements, and how turbulence affects readings Duct traverses: log Chebyshev point averaging vs. timed traverse methods, and best practices for each Manufacturer performance charts and external static pressure testing: how lab conditions differ from field conditions and why charts can mislead Motor types (PSC, constant torque ECM, constant airflow ECM) and how motor behavior affects static pressure measurement and airflow setup Manometer selection: resolution, accuracy, auto-zeroing features, and why a precise-looking display does not equal an accurate reading Temperature rise method for estimating airflow: appropriate uses with electric heat, and limitations with gas furnaces Digital TrueFlow grid: application for residential retrofit work, CFM forecasting, and evaluating existing duct systems before equipment replacement Audience Q&A: density correction on supply vs. return readings, multi-grille TrueFlow workflows, and commercial system setup strategies   You can watch the flow hood comparison video by TruTech Tools HERE.

Public Service Commissioner Jill Kringstad didn't attend the North Dakota Republican Party's state convention, alongside every other statewide Republican incumbent. Thus, she doesn't have the party's endorsement, but neither does her opponent, Chris Olson. She was appointed to her job by Gov. Kelly Armstrong, and has his backing, and told us, during a live recording of Plain Talk at the Blue Rider bar in Minot, that being on the campaign trail for the first time, she's enjoying talking to the voters. "Just to meet them and hear them and hear them talk about how they're saying, you know, we're telling our friends, we're telling our families." Data centers have been a hot topic this election cycle. Kringstad said the PSC is already involved in ensuring that those power-hungry developments don't drive up rates when they pull electricity from utilities regulated by the PSC, but that ultimately she's a regulator. The state probably needs some new laws for data centers, and the PSC doesn't make laws. "We're not here setting policy. What we're doing is we're operating within the confines of the laws and the rules that are passed by the legislature," she said, noting that there's an ongoing interim study about the issue, and that she expects a lot of debate over data centers during legislative session next year. We live in very polarized time, but Kringstad also acknowledged during the interview that she has some bipartisanship in her family. The candidate said she's been involved in Republican politics since she was nine years old, when her parents were helping out with then-Gov. John Hoeven's campaign, but her sister is a district chair for the North Dakota Democratic-NPL. "We have different views on politics and that's ok," Kringstad said. "We don't discuss everything, but the things that we do discuss, we have very substantive back and forth discussions that are respectful and we always walk away and say, 'Okay, you have your opinion. I have mine. I just see things differently and I love you anyway.'" Also on this episode, Minot Mayor Mark Jantzer talked with me and co-host Chad Oban about how his community is handling a new budgeting reality after the legislature imposed a 3% cap on spending growth as a part of sweeping property tax reform. He explained that to manage the budget under these constraints, the city of Minot has primarily relied on utilizing its reserves to reduce property taxes over the last two budgets, but he warned that this is "not sustainable," and said that by 2027 the city would have to make cuts and find new revenues.

Avui divendres ens fem ressò de la protesta laboral i del ple extraordinari demanat per l'oposició, avui divendres a Lloret de Mar. Lloret de Mar viu un conflicte laboral a l'Ajuntament que s'ha intensificat en els darrers mesos amb la renúncia de la Policia Local a fer hores extres i la decisió dels serveis de manteniment de deixar de fer guàrdies. Davant d'aquest escenari, els sindicats han convocat una aturada de treballadors aquest divendres a les 12 del migdia, coincidint amb un ple extraordinari sol·licitat pels grups de l'oposició de Junts, Tots i ERC  per analitzar el deteriorament del clima laboral i la gestió de recursos humans. Escoltem els diferents portaveus municipals, dient la seva sobre la situació del personal de l'Ajuntament. Mentre el govern del PSC assegura que tenen la mà estesa per poder negociar, la resta de grups destaquen el malestar amb la plantilla i cal arribar a algun tipus d'acord per posar fi al conflicte que hi ha amb la policia i altres departaments. Altres temes d'interès: Esports: Daniela Guillén afronta aquest cap de setmana la segona prova del Mundial de Motocròs femení. Serà en el Gran Premi d'Alemanya, on arriba com a líder del campionat. Agenda: Avui hi ha taller de risoterapia per a la gent gran, una gala d'arts marcials o el concert de piano de Carlos Acotto. Aquest dissabte, als jardins de Santa Clotilde, es presenta un llibre sobre els rodatges de Joc de Trons i sèries similars de fantasia, que generem turisme interessat en els escenaris d'aquestes ficcions. L'autor és Javier Marcos i després hi ha una taula rodona. A la nit al Teatre hi arriba PLAER CULPABLE, una comèdia sobre les relacions de parella, la sexualitat i les contradiccions entre els ideals personals i la realitat quotidiana. I diumenge hi ha la gimnastrada i una lectura de poemes i de teatre amb el Casal de l'Obrera, amb l'esbart Joaquim Ruyra i la cobla La Principal del Carib.

Junts, Tots i ERC -a l’oposició– han aconseguit tirar endavant la moció aprovada en el ple extraordinari celebrat aquest divendres per analitzar la situació del personal de l'Ajuntament. La proposta ha pogut ser aprovada en rebre el suport de ‘comuns’ (soci de l’equip de govern), Sumem i VOX, mentre que el PSC (a l’equip de govern) hi ha votat en contra. El debat ha començat a les 12h amb una protesta dels treballadors i representants sindicals a la plaça de la Vila, els quals en acabar han seguit la sessió des de la sala de plens, que ha quedat plena a vessar. L'oposició atribueix la situació a una manca de lideratge i planificació de l'equip de govern i denuncia un augment del malestar entre la plantilla, la pèrdua de professionals i tensions amb la representació sindical, amb afectació directa als serveis municipals. La moció aprovada inclou mesures com donar compte en el proper ple ordinari sobre l’evolució de la plantilla, el nombre de baixes laborals, l’índex d’absentisme i les vacants, a més de reprovar a l’alcalde Adrià Lamelas com a «màxim responsable d’aquesta deriva». La proposta inclou un diagnòstic independent de la situació laboral i un pla integral de millora amb mesures concretes i calendaritzades. En el decurs del ple extraordinari, Jordi Martínez (Junts) ha demanat «posar fi al col·lapse col·lectiu, la salut laboral de la plantilla no és negociable«, mentre que Albert Robert (Tots) exposa que hi ha un «conflicte obert i la situació és lluny de solució, és un problema estructural». Davant les crítiques de l’oposició, Míriam Rodríguez (PSC) ha defensat la gestió del govern amb dades: “des del 2024 fins ara hem creat 6 places noves tot i la taxa de reposició, vostès el 2023 no van crear-ne cap, mentre que nosaltres hem reforçat àrees que considerem essencials». Pel que fa a les promocions internes, el PSC explica que n’hi ha previstes 11 enguany, davant les 3 del 2023. Albert Ferrández (ERC) ha respòs al PSC: “Continuem escoltant excuses i que tot és complex, però zero autocrítica, la sala és plena de treballadors de la casa. Segur que no hi ha cap problema?». Els treballadors i representants de tots els sindicats municipals han protestat avui a la plaça de la Vila, amb música i crits. Per la seva banda, Frederic Guich (‘comuns’), ha manifestat que “no dubto que arribarem a un acord, demano als sindicats que portin la documentació demanada». Lara Torres (Sumem) ha defensat que “el problema existeix, el clima s’ha deteriorat i proposem una esmena perquè no s’assenyalin dos regidors personalment”. L’esmena ha quedat aprovada i retira el fet de reprovar els regidors Miriam Rodriguez i Frederic Guich, responsables de RRHH i Assumptes Laborals. Coque Hernando (VOX) ha posat com a exemple que “no pot ser que hi hagi només dues patrulles de la policia local, la gent està cremada, hi ha baixes i absentisme.”

L'Ajuntament de Lloret de Mar amplia l'ordenança que subvenciona la rehabilitació de façanes dels edificis degradats al Nucli Antic en incloure els barris de les Tres Creus i Pescadors, i a més també s'hi poden acollir les segones residències. L'objectiu és millorar la imatge d'aquestes zones del municipi i, a la vegada, reforçar la seguretat dels immobles. Segons s'ha explicat en el ple d'aquest dilluns, les mesures s'han consensuat amb els veïns. Des de l'oposició també s'ha posat sobre la taula la necessitat de dotar la línia d'ajuts de recursos suficients i fer-ne seguiment per valorar l'impacte que tindran. En la sessió ordinària d'aquest dilluns, s'han resolt les al·legacions presentades al reglament de les activitats i serveis de platges. La normativa inclou la limitació de gandules i para-sols, la regulació estètica dels elements de platja i canvis en les guinguetes, que podran oferir també servei de restauració. També s'amplien les zones sense fum, que s'estenen a les terrasses a més de la sorra. Durant el debat, l’oposició ha valorat positivament el reglament, tot i que s'han expressat dubtes sobre la seva aplicació i la disponibilitat de recursos humans per fer-lo complir. El govern municipal defensa que es tracta d'una mesura consensuada que incorpora millores en la gestió de les platges i en els serveis que s'hi ofereixen. El ple d'aquest dilluns ha nomenat Mònica Llinàs i Mas com a nova jutgessa de pau substituta per un període de quatre anys. Per al càrrec s'hi ha presentat només aquesta persona. Aquesta figura dona suport a l'activitat del Jutjat de Pau, un servei que encapçala Mireia Crespo i que desenvolupa funcions vinculades al registre civil i a l'atenció de judicis de faltes. Cal afegir que si bé aquest dilluns ha tingut lloc el ple ordinari, els grups de Junts, ERC i Tots per Lloret han impulsat el proper divendres el ple extraordinari per abordar el clima laboral a l'Ajuntament i la gestió dels recursos humans. Coincidint amb el ple del 29 de maig, tots els sindicats municipals han convocat una concentració a les 12h a la plaça de la Vila per protestar i reclamar millores laborals. Mentre el govern del PSC assegura que tenen la «mà estesa» per poder negociar, la resta de grups destaquen el «malestar amb la plantilla» i cal arribar a algun tipus d'acord per posar fi al conflicte que hi ha amb la policia i altres departaments municipals.

With Scott Hennen still navigating the fjords of Norway, guest host Greg Steeman takes the reins for a deep dive into the engine room of North Dakota's economy and national security. This episode tackles the "necessary evil" of the Iran conflict and its impact on the $4 gas prices hitting local families. Steeman is joined by Public Service Commissioner Sheri Haugen-Hoffert to demystify the surge of massive data centers across the state—addressing concerns over water usage and "strangled energy." The conversation then shifts to the soil with Ag expert Bridget Riedel and drainage specialist Levi Otis, who provide a blunt look at the "asset leak" facing farmers and the historic high-stakes decisions being made in the livestock market. Finally, David Fisher of Landmark Capital sounds the alarm on a brewing $39 trillion debt crisis and explains why the world's elite are quietly pivoting to gold and silver. Standout Moments & Timestamps 00:02:10 – Poking the "Big Blue Bear" Greg Steeman and Kevin Flynn discuss the tactical necessity of the Iran conflict. Kevin warns radical factions that they have "poked the bear" too long, arguing that surgical strikes are the only language the regime understands. 00:08:15 – Data Centers: North Dakota's New Buzzword Public Service Commissioner Sheri Haugen-Hoffert clears the air on data centers. She explains exactly what the PSC regulates (transmission lines) and what they don't (noise and citing), while Kevin reveals the surprising truth about water recycling at the Harwood facility. 00:14:40 – The AI War with China The team addresses listener concerns about "massive" data centers. Greg notes that the U.S. is currently in a high-stakes AI war with China, making local infrastructure a matter of national security rather than just "curing cancer" scenarios. 00:20:42 – The $400,000 Combine Crisis Ag expert Bridget Riedel highlights a staggering economic disconnect: farmers are dealing with 2015 commodity prices but paying 2026 input costs, noting that a used combine that cost $187k three years ago now fetches $400k. 00:26:05 – 228 Tires and a Decision to Run A lighthearted but telling moment where Bridget shares that the average U.S. farm maintains 228 tires. This leads to a heavy discussion on whether aging cattle producers should "take the money and run" during historic market highs or risk a 700-head expansion during a drought. 00:31:22 – Managing the Water Table Levi Otis of Deep Roots Drainage breaks down the "science of the sponge,"…

Host: Cindy Allen Show: Simply Trade – Cindy's Version Published: March 6, 2026 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Ready For It? CBP's IEEPA Refund Proposal Drops—Here's What's Next Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, dives into the latest trade developments through Taylor Swift's “Ready For It?”—perfect for the “let the games begin” drama unfolding in IEEPA refund hearings. From DHS shakeups and Section 122 lawsuits to CBP's just‑filed refund blueprint, Cindy unpacks the mechanics, open questions, and what importers/brokers should do now.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode DHS leadership change Secretary Noem removed; scuttlebutt suggests more exits at DHS/CBP headquarters. New nominee: Oklahoma senator with broad congressional/President support (not yet formal).​ Section 122 tariff challenges 24 states sue in Court of International Trade, arguing Section 122 doesn't meet “imbalance of payments” requirement for universal tariffs. Commerce Secretary Besant hints at 15% rate hikes for specific industries, potentially violating Section 122's uniform application rule—no movement yet (as of Friday afternoon).​ USMCA signals Congress supports extension, but President has final say. Discussions on trilateral vs. bilateral (U.S.–Canada, U.S.–Mexico); some push for 1‑year extension to renegotiate post‑tariff chaos.​ Global disruptions Iran war halts Strait of Hormuz traffic, backing up oil tankers and vessels reliant on that fuel—broad transportation ripple effects.​ USTR advisory opportunity Nominations open for 4 USTR trade advisory groups (separate from COAC)—check Federal Register notices. Chance to influence policy, build government/industry relationships.​ Why “Ready For It?” Cindy channels Taylor Swift's “Ready For It?” for the IEEPA refund “dating game” between DOJ, CBP, and CIT: Federal Circuit rejected government's 90‑day delay request, remanded immediately to CIT. CIT hearing (March 4) was “entertaining” bickering—judge ruled no suit needed for non‑final entries and ordered CBP to liquidate without IEEPA duties. CIT conference (March 6, closed): CBP filed a refund proposal.​ CBP's IEEPA Refund Proposal Breakdown How it would work: Importers file ACE declaration with Excel list of affected entries. ACE runs validations, auto‑recalculates IEEPA refund. CBP verifies declaration accuracy. ACE auto‑liquidates; CBP certifies; Treasury issues refunds (as normal). Estimated 45 days for CBP programming.​ Open questions: Entry updates: ACE is system of record—will underlying entry summaries be corrected? (Critical for protests, PSCs, reconciliation, drawback.) Broker involvement: ABI required? Broker systems need programming? Push/pull updates? Reconciliation: How handled in bulk process? PSC/audit impact: Can filers still correct misclassifications post‑bulk liquidation? (Protests harder than PSC.) Liquidation halt: CBP questions authority to pause during 45‑day programming (hundreds of thousands liquidated March 6).​ Key Takeaways CIT has jurisdiction; expect CBP proposal review/dialogue—trade associations pushing entry updates. Programming delays + ABI sync = potential months before refunds flow. Liquidation is automatic unless stopped—monitor your entries closely. “Let the games begin”—are you ready for the IEEPA refund process?​ Credits Host: Cindy Allen Producer: Annik Sobing  Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/

Hosts: Lalo Solorzano & Andy Shiles Episode Length: ~ 44 min. Published: February 25, 2026 Episode Summary The Supreme Court has ruled on the use of IEEPA tariffs — and the trade community immediately started asking the same question: Now what? In this episode of Simply Trade, Lalo and Andy break down what the SCOTUS decision really means (and just as importantly, what it does not mean). They walk through the operational, financial, and compliance implications for importers, including refund strategies, protests, PSC filings, and what role the Court of International Trade may still play. This is not a political conversation — it's a practical one. If you're an importer, broker, trade attorney, or compliance leader trying to understand next steps, this episode gives you the strategic roadmap. Key Discussion Points What the Supreme Court actually ruled on regarding IEEPA What this decision does not affect (Section 232, 301, etc.) Whether importers should file PSCs, protests, or wait The role of the Court of International Trade (CIT) Refund timing and cash flow implications The possibility of alternative tariff authorities (including Section 122) Why internal data analysis is critical right now How compliance programs can prepare for future shifts Why This Matters For companies that paid duties under IEEPA authority, this decision could mean: Significant refund opportunities Strategic filing decisions Litigation exposure Executive-level reporting requirements Reassessment of long-term sourcing strategy But acting too quickly — or without data — could create unnecessary risk. Lalo and Andy emphasize that now is the time for: Data gathering Executive briefings Controlled decision-making Clear documentation A strong compliance foundation Practical Takeaways Don't assume automatic refunds — process matters. Evaluate PSC vs. protest options carefully. Monitor CIT developments closely. Keep leadership informed with quantified impact analysis. Use this moment to strengthen your compliance framework.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Ryan Atencio breaks down a bid-list and search strategy that helps specialty contractors stop missing opportunities—and start getting inbound requests from prime contractors. You'll learn why relying on narrow NAICS searches limits growth, how using multiple PSC codes (including general construction) opens the door to subcontracting work, and how specialty trades like HVAC, roofing, electrical, and facilities maintenance can position themselves as the go-to local expert on military bases and federal installations. The episode also explains how responding consistently—even when declining—keeps you top-of-mind with primes, why submitting proposals fast matters more than perfection, and how AI enables teams to compete on shorter timelines without burning out. Key Takeaways Search broader than your specialty. Specialty contractors should track construction PSC codes to find subcontracting paths and prime partners. Bid lists beat daily searches. The goal is getting primes to send you opportunities—so one estimate can support multiple bids. You can't win if you don't submit. Fast, repeatable proposals create momentum—and follow-up requests often signal a win.

In this essential episode, Bryan Orr sits down with Elliot, the residential install supervisor at Kalos Services, to unpack a critical issue that's causing confusion among HVAC technicians, electricians, and inspectors alike: the new standards for breaker and conductor sizing on inverter-driven equipment. The conversation was sparked by Elliot's frustrating experience of having two inspectors in the same county fail the same installation for opposite reasons—one for an oversized breaker and another for an undersized breaker. This contradiction led to a deep dive into recent changes in UL standards and how they affect everyday HVAC installations. The heart of the issue stems from the transition to low-GWP refrigerants and the updated UL 60335-2-40 Edition 3 standard, which replaced the 1995 certification approach. This new standard introduced more conservative calculations for electrical characteristics, particularly affecting equipment using A2L refrigerants. The result? Data tags now show higher Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) ratings than before, even though the equipment itself hasn't changed—only the math used to calculate these values has shifted. This has created a puzzling situation where the MCA can be higher than the recommended breaker size, which seems counterintuitive to anyone familiar with traditional electrical principles. Bryan and Elliot clarify the fundamental rule that still applies: size your wire to the MCA and your breaker to the MOCP (Maximum Overcurrent Protector). The confusion arises because manufacturers like Mitsubishi are now including "recommended breaker" sizes on data tags that are lower than the MCA—a courtesy to contractors, not a code requirement. The higher MCA reflects conservative safety margins that account for extreme operating conditions, but in practice, inverter-driven systems have multiple built-in protections that prevent them from ever actually reaching these calculated amperage levels. The key takeaway is that contractors can safely install breakers at the recommended size without safety concerns, as long as the breaker's lugs are rated to accept the wire size required by the MCA. The episode also explores how inverter-driven equipment fundamentally differs from traditional PSC motors, particularly regarding locked rotor amps (now more accurately termed "inverter input") and voltage drop considerations. Unlike conventional motors that simply run slower with reduced voltage, inverter-driven compressors and ECM motors compensate by drawing more current to maintain performance, creating a potential compounding effect with voltage drop that installers need to understand—even though voltage drop itself isn't an enforceable NEC code requirement. Topics Covered: New UL 60335-2-40 Edition 3 standards and their impact on electrical calculations for HVAC equipment The relationship between MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity) and MOCP (Maximum Overcurrent Protector) and why they can now seem contradictory Recommended breaker sizes on modern data tags and why they may be lower than the MCA Handling inspector conflicts and failed inspections related to breaker sizing Differences between inverter-driven equipment and traditional PSC motors in electrical behavior The transition from "locked rotor amps" to "inverter input" terminology for modern equipment Voltage drop considerations with inverter-driven systems (NEC 210.19A and 215.2A) Why inverter-driven equipment draws more current at lower voltages compared to traditional motors Proper wire and breaker sizing for A2L refrigerant equipment (454B systems) NEC Section 440 requirements specific to air conditioning and refrigeration equipment Breaker lug ratings and ensuring they can accept the required wire size Practical advice for communicating with inspectors and resolving code disputes   Read the tech tip on this topic HERE.
