Reuters reported the United States is set to clarify the Dodd Frank Act as regulators finalize rules on overseas operations and conflict free minerals.
As quoted in the market news:

The disclosure rules were widely hailed by humanitarian groups as the most sweeping measures yet to try and tackle the problem as they hit the primary cause: opaque deals between governments and industry.
