Abstract: The United States International Trade Commission (Commission) is conducting a factfinding investigation (Inv. No. 332-600) to analyze the economic impact of the automotive rules of origin (ROOs) in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and their impact on the U.S. economy and automotive industry, effect on U.S. competitiveness, and relevancy in light of technological changes. The report in connection with this investigation is required by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 4532(g)(2)) (USMCA Implementation Act). The USMCA Implementation Act requires the Commission to prepare a series of five biennial reports on the USMCA automotive ROOs, and to submit those reports to the President, the House Committee on Ways and Means, and the Senate Committee on Finance. The Commission is conducting a survey of motor vehicle producers in the United States for the second report, which will be published by July 1, 2025.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission currently imposes no reporting burden on businesses with respect to the USMCA automotive ROOs. The burden on businesses increased because of the requirements under the USMCA Implementation Act to provide a report on this topic, part of which allows for primary data collection. Such data are not publicly available and without this information collection, certain aspects of the Commission’s analysis of the impact of the ROOs will be less robust in, or absent from, its report. This is a one-time collection for such data for use in this report and potential use in the three subsequent reports required by the USMCA Implementation Act.
