It’s a “national security” matter, so they probably found some level of exception to the APA by calling it that. I agree that it’s a blatant attempt at extortion against manufacturers of networking equipment and I would hope to see multiple legal challenges against it. Unfortunately my faith in the US courts is greatly eroded by some of the recent shadow docket rulings by the Supreme Court , so time will tell, but I suspect this is just another example of damage the next administration will hopefully clean up. I remain dismayed that this jackass got a second term in office instead of the prison cell he so richly deserves.
