Trade Subcommittee Chairman David Reichert (R-WA) Announces Hearing on Miscellaneous Tariff Bill

The Committee is preparing legislation to implement recommendations made by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in its final report. The hearing will take place on Wednesday, October 25, 2017, in 1100 Longworth House Office Building, beginning at 2:00 PM.

The ITC’s final report, submitted to Congress consistent with the new MTB process established by the American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2016, is publicly available and can be accessed here: https://mtbps.usitc.gov/external/. The Act provides that the legislation to be considered by Congress may not include any provision unless it was the subject of a petition submitted to the ITC and was deemed by the ITC to meet the MTB tests established in the Act, including that there is no domestic producer of a like product who objects to the provision. In view of the limited time to hear witnesses, oral testimony at this hearing will be from invited witnesses only. However, any individual or organization may submit a written statement for consideration by the Committee and for inclusion in the printed record of the hearing.
