SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The 2025 report will be the second of five reports that
section 202A(g)(2) of the USMCA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C.
4532(g)(2)) requires that the Commission provide on the USMCA
automotive rules of origin (ROOs) and their impact on the U.S. economy,
effect on U.S. competitiveness, and relevancy considering recent
technology changes. In particular, the USMCA Implementation Act
requires that the Commission report on the following:
(1) The economic impact of the USMCA automotive ROOs on U.S. gross
domestic product (GDP); U.S. exports and imports; U.S. aggregate
employment and employment opportunities; production, investment, use of
productive facilities, and profit levels in the U.S. automotive
industries and other pertinent industries; wages and employment of
workers in the U.S. automotive sector; and the interests of U.S.
consumers.
(2) The operation of the ROOs and their effects on the
competitiveness of the United States with respect to production and
trade in automotive goods, taking into account developments in
technology, production processes, or other related matters.
(3) Whether the ROOs are relevant in light of technological changes
in the United States.
(4) Such other matters as the Commission considers relevant to the
economic impact of the ROOs, including prices, sales, inventories,
patterns of demand, capital investment, obsolescence of equipment, and
diversification of production in the United States.
As part of this investigation, the Commission intends to conduct a
survey, and will post the associated questionnaire on its website at a
later date. The Commission also intends to hold a public hearing in
connection with this investigation and will announce the hearing
details at a later date.
The USMCA Implementation Act requires that the Commission transmit
its report on July 1, 2025, two years following submission of its
previous report, USMCA Automotive Rules of Origin: Economic Impact and
Operation, 2023 Report. The Commission is required to submit reports on
the USMCA automotive ROOs every two years until 2031, for a total of
five reports.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: November 15, 2023.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
