Temporary Suspension of Additional Duties on Canadian Alcoholic Beverages, Dairy, and Motor Vehicles

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. § 2411), and consistent with Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 (Commerce Clause) and the delegation of authority under the Necessary and Proper Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18), I hereby proclaim the temporary suspension of additional duties on certain Canadian goods. Section 1. Suspension. The additional duties on Canadian-origin alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and motor vehicles previously imposed by Proclamation [number] of [date] are suspended for a period of one year from the effective date of this proclamation. This suspension is contingent upon Canada taking corrective measures to eliminate the discriminatory practices identified in the investigation under Section 302(b)(1)(A) of the Trade Act of 1974. Section 2. Oversight and Reporting. The United States Trade Representative (USTR) shall monitor Canada's compliance with the corrective measures and report to the President and the Committees on Finance of the Senate and on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives quarterly. The USTR shall also post a public report on the official website. Section 3. Sunset. This suspension shall expire one year after the date of this proclamation, unless extended by the President upon a finding, based on the USTR report, that Canada continues to satisfy the corrective measures. Any extension shall not exceed one additional year. Section 4. Enforcement. The suspension is self-executing. If the USTR determines that Canada has failed to maintain the corrective measures, the President shall, after 30 days' notice to Canada and opportunity for comment, reinstate the additional duties. The reinstatement shall take effect upon publication in the Federal Register. Section 5. Judicial Review. Any person aggrieved by this suspension may seek judicial review in the U.S. Court of International Trade or the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, as applicable, within 60 days of the date of this proclamation. Review shall be in accordance with the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. § 2416) and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 701-706).
