It is the policy of my Administration to represent the American people and their financial well-being in all negotiations, particularly the American worker, and to create fair and economically beneficial trade deals that serve their interests. Additionally, in order to ensure these outcomes, it is the intention of my Administration to deal directly with individual countries on a one-on-one (or bilateral) basis in negotiating future trade deals. Trade with other nations is, and always will be, of paramount importance to my Administration and to me, as President of the United States.
Based on these principles, and by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby direct you to withdraw the United States as a signatory to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), to permanently withdraw the United States from TPP negotiations, and to begin pursuing, wherever possible, bilateral trade negotiations to promote American industry, protect American workers, and raise American wages.
You are directed to provide written notification to the Parties and to the Depository of the TPP, as appropriate, that the United States withdraws as a signatory of the TPP and withdraws from the TPP negotiating process.

Pass That Peace Pipe
"If you're feeling mad as a wet hen,
Mad as you can possibly get, then
Pass that peace pipe, bury that tomahawk…"
--Roger Edens, Hugh Martin, and Ralph Blane, "Pass That Peace Pipe," from the 1947 motion picture "Good News"
Mary and I are in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as 45th President of the United States on Friday, January 20th. [Trivia QUIZ: Mr. Trump will be the 44th man to service as President, why is he numbered as the 45th?]
Here we are interviewed on Boston Channel 7 WHDH News yesterday -- http://whdh.com/news/new-englanders-head-to-dc-for-inauguration-and-protests/
The theme of the 58th Presidential Inauguration, "Uniquely American," recognizes the symbolic importance of the event. We may consider it routine, but the inaugural ceremony remains a uniquely American expression of our constitutional system. The peaceful transition between presidential administrations signals that we are united as a people behind an enduring republic.
Sadly, America is not likely, in the near future, to be united behind the man who will hold her highest office for the next four (maybe eight) years. My hope is that President Trump succeeds in fixing our economy so that it works for all Americans. If he fails, voters can hand control of Congress over to the Democrats in 2018, thus limiting his ability to act domestically. In 2020 they can turn him out of office. If he succeeds in his first term he likely will be re-elected by a larger margin and sweep more Republicans into Congress too.
No matter what happens nationally, Massachusetts, of course, will continue to be a deeply Blue State. The dysfunctionality of the Massachusetts Republican Party will ensure that! The latest news, reported in the Boston Herald, is that Bay State Trump supporters say the State GOP appears to be failing to get them inauguration tickets. I have had enough experience of the Mass GOP to know better than to waste my time trying to get tickets through that [dis]organization. My Congressman, Stephen Lynch, came through for us with tickets. Senator Ed Markey also offered Mary tickets, which she released to the next person on the waiting list.
Representative Lynch's office also gave me United States Capitol Historical Society calendar with the theme of Celebrating the Era of Good Feelings," 1817-1825.
The Era of Good Feelings marked a period in the history that reflected a sense of national purpose and a desire for unity among Americans following the War of 1812. The era saw the end, for a time, to bitter partisan disputes. President James Monroe strove to downplay partisan affiliation in making his nominations, with the ultimate goal of national unity and eliminating parties altogether from national politics.
The phrase Era of Good Feelings was coined by Benjamin Russell, in the Boston newspaper, Columbian Centinel, on July 12, 1817, following Monroe's visit to Boston, Massachusetts, as part of his good-will tour of America.
Best wishes for success to President Trump. May he make America GREAT and UNITED again!
[ANSWER to QUIZ: Grover Cleveland is counted twice as our 22nd and 24th President because he was elected for two nonconsecutive terms.]

Monday is Martin Luther, Jr. King Day
When President Ronald Reagan, on November 2, 1983, signed into law the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday he reminded his listeners that—
Martin Luther King was born in 1929 in an America where, because of the color of their skin, nearly one in ten lived lives that were separate and unequal…taught in segregated schools…could find only poor jobs, toiling for low wages…refused entry into hotels and restaurants, made to use separate facilities. In a nation that proclaimed liberty and justice for all, too many black Americans were living with neither.
President Reagan went on to remark that "Dr. King had awakened something strong and true, a sense that true justice must be colorblind." And Mr. Reagan pointed to both the progress made—and yet to be made—in the struggle for an America that lives up to her noble sentiment that all men are created equal, citing the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965. Reagan, as he so often did, then called on Americans to embrace and enlarge upon their better nature, and exhorted his listeners—
But most important, there was not just a change of law; there was a change of heart. The conscience of America had been touched. Across the land, people had begun to treat each other not as blacks and whites, but as fellow Americans.
Traces of bigotry still mar America. So, each year on Martin Luther King Day, let us not only recall Dr. King, but rededicate ourselves to the Commandments he believed in and sought to live every day: Thou shall love thy God with all thy heart, and thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. And I just have to believe that all of us —- if all of us, young and old, Republicans and Democrats, do all we can to live up to those Commandments, then we will see the day when Dr. King's dream comes true.

U.S. Department of Commerce Advisory Council on Trade Enforcement and Compliance ("ACTEC")
On January 10, 2017, the Dept. of Commerce published in the Federal Register (82 FR 2953) Notice of establishment of the U.S. Department of Commerce Advisory Council on Trade Enforcement and Compliance.
I. Background and Authority
The ACTEC is established in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App., to advise the Secretary on matters relating to relating to the Department's statutory missions to enforce U.S. trade remedy laws and seek foreign government compliance with trade agreements. The Department affirms that the creation of the ACTEC is necessary and in the public interest. The Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, shall serve as the Executive Director of the ACTEC. The Executive Director shall designate both the Designated Federal Officer (DFO) and a Secondary DFO from among the employees of the International Trade Administration's Enforcement and Compliance unit. The DFO serves as the ACTEC Executive Secretary.
The ACTEC shall advise the Secretary on laws and government policies that deal with trade enforcement; identify and recommend programs, policies, and actions to help the Department in its efforts to ensure that U.S. trading partners comply with their trade agreement commitments; and recommend ways that the Department's enforcement and compliance activities can better support a strong trade and manufacturing agenda and advance the commercial competitiveness of U.S. firms and workers.
The ACTEC shall act as a liaison with the stakeholders represented by the membership, and shall provide a forum for stakeholders on current and emerging issues concerning trade enforcement and compliance matters.
The ACTEC shall report to the Secretary on its activities and recommendations regarding the Department's trade enforcement and compliance efforts. In creating its reports, the ACTEC should survey and evaluate the trade enforcement and compliance concerns of its stakeholders, should identify and examine specific trade problems that require attention, and should examine the needs in this area to inform the ACTEC's efforts. The ACTEC should recommend specific solutions to the problems and needs it identifies.
II. Structure, Membership, and Operation
The ACTEC shall consist of no more than twenty members appointed by the Secretary. Members shall represent U.S. entities involved in and significantly affected by imports and/or those that heavily export to, or operate in, countries with which the United States has trade agreements.
All members must be U.S. Nationals and shall be selected based on their ability to carry out the objectives of the ACTEC, in accordance with applicable Department of Commerce guidelines, in a manner that ensures the ACTEC is balanced in terms of points of view, demographics, industry sector, geography of both production infrastructure and product inputs, and company size. Members shall also represent a broad range of products and services and shall be drawn from large, medium, and small enterprises, private sector organizations, and other entities, such as, non-governmental organizations, associations, and economic development organizations. Members shall serve in a representative capacity, representing the views and interests of their sponsoring entities and those of their particular industrial and regional sector (as applicable); they are, therefore, not Special Government Employees. Appointments to the ACTEC shall be made without regard to political affiliation.
Members serve for a term of two years and will serve at the pleasure of the Secretary. The Secretary may at his/her discretion reappoint any member to an additional term or terms, provided that the member proves to work effectively on the ACTEC and his/her knowledge and advice are still needed.
The Secretary shall designate the ACTEC chair and vice chair or vice chairs from among the members of the ACTEC. The Executive Director may establish subcommittees from among the ACTEC members, in order to perform specific functions within the jurisdiction of the ACTEC, subject to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), the FACA implementing regulations, and applicable Department of Commerce guidance. Subcommittees must report back to the parent committee and do not provide advice or work product directly to the Secretary.
III. Compensation
Members will not be compensated for their services or reimbursed for their travel expenses.

On December 19, 2016, PGTEX USA, Inc. (PGTEX) has submitted to the Foreign Trade Zone Board a notification of proposed production activity for its facility in El Paso, Texas, within FTZ 68.
The PGTEX facility is located within Site 3 of FTZ 68. The facility is used for the production of fiber glass fabrics used in a variety of applications: Wind turbine blades, sporting goods, autos, shipbuilding, building materials and aerospace.
The components and materials sourced from abroad include yarns (glass fiber) (HTSUS 7019.19), glass fibers (HTSUS 7019.90), and polyester yarn (HTSUS 5402.33) (duty rates range from 4.3 to 6.5%). The applicant indicates that these foreign-sourced materials/components will be admitted to the FTZ in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41). This would preclude inverted tariff benefits on such items on its domestic sales of fiber glass fabrics. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt PGTEX from customs duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export production. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
20-Year Old US-EU Beef Threatens Duty Increase for Certain Rayon Fiber and Yarn
On May 13, 2009, the United States and the European Commission announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the EU-Beef case. See 74 FR 40864.
The MOU provided for the EU to make phased increases in market access by adopting a tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for beef produced without growth-promoting hormones (termed HQB products), in return for the United States making phased reductions in additional duties the United States had imposed consistent with WTO authorization. See 74 FR 40864. Both in accordance with the MOU and as a result of a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, USTR terminated all additional duties on EU products, effective May 2011. See 76 FR 30987.
Under the second phase of the MOU, starting in August 2012, the EU increased the TRQ to 45,000 metric tons (MT). Although the EU has maintained this 45,000 MT TRQ for HQB products, it has not in practice provided benefits to the U.S. beef industry sufficient to compensate for the economic harm resulting from the EU ban on all but specially-produced U.S. beef. In particular, non-U.S. exporters of HQB products have been able to fill a substantial part of the 45,000 MT TRQ.
In February 2016, Congress passed and the President signed the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015. Among other things, the Act amended relevant provisions of the 1974 Trade Act to confirm that the Trade Representative may reinstate a previously terminated Section 301 action in order to exercise a WTO authorization to suspend trade concessions. In particular, the new Section 306(c) of the 1974 Trade Act permits the Trade Representative to reinstate a Section 301 action following (1) a request from the petitioner or any representative of the domestic industry that would benefit from reinstatement of action, (2) consultations under Section 306(d) of the Trade Act, and (3) a review under section 307(c) of the Trade Act.
On December 9, 2016, representatives of the U.S. beef industry invoked the new Section 306(c) of the 1974 Trade Act by filing a written request for reinstatement of action.
In order to assist in a possible reinstatement of the action in accordance with Section 306(c) of the 1974 Trade Act, and to provide information in connection with a review under Section 307(c) of the Act, the Section 301 Committee seeks public comments with respect to the specific EU products on the lists for increased import duties.
The list of products potential subject to increased duty is lengthy and includes two textile products:
- Viscose rayon staple fibers, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, provided for in Subheading 5504.10.00 HTSUS, rate of duty 4.3%.
- Single yarn (other than sewing thread) containing 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibers, not put up for retail sale, provided for in Subheading 5510.11.00 HTSUS, rate of duty 9%.
In the case of the fiber classified at 5504.10.00, total U.S. imports in 2015 were $174 million, of which imports from the EU were:
- Germany, $40 million
- Austria, $30 million
- United Kingdom, $260,000
- Czech Republic, $17,000
- Netherlands, $2,000
- Spain, $2,000
NOTE, that this fiber is the subject of several temporary duty suspension petitions recently filed as part of the new Miscellaneous Tariff Bill process and was formerly under duty suspensions.
In the case of the yarn classified at 5510.11.00, total U.S. imports in 2015 were $41 million, of which imports from the EU were:
- Spain, $700,000
- Belgium, $410,000
- Switzerland, $151,000
- Austria, $96,000
- Slovenia, $23,000
- France, $16,000
- United Kingdom, $6,000
Comments are due by Monday, January 30, 2017. There will be a hearing in Washington on Wednesday, February 15, 2017.

Water-Tight Compartments
- When the U.S. gives a nation duty-free access via a free trade agreement, certain obligations are imposed on that partner nation and it would be unfair to give the benefit to a third party who has not signed on to the particular obligations of that agreement.
- Each FTA is unique and reflects the compromises made by the U.S. and partner nation(s), it is a delicate balance of the interests of the U.S. and the partner(s), giving benefits to a third party would upset that balance.
- Enforcement of FTA rules is already difficult enough, allowing "mix-and-match" would make enforcement extremely difficult.
There are a few fairly narrowly defined exceptions --
- Some, but not all, FTAs permit the use of certain nylon yarn from Canada, Israel, or Mexico.
- DR-CAFTA allows for a limited amount of Mexican fabric in the case of woven (but not knit) apparel, with sub-limits for certain types of woven apparel.
- Some, but not all, FTAs contain tariff preference levels (TPLs) which allow a limited quantity of yarn and fabric from any source. These provisions are often specific to the type of fiber, yarn, fabric and apparel.
The U.S. has 14 FTAs with 20 countries. No two agreements are the same, with the rules varying from agreement to agreement. In the case of the two multi-lateral agreements, NAFTA and DR-CAFTA, the rules even vary among the partner countries of the agreement. Agathon Associates can assist you in understanding, complying with, and benefiting from, free trade agreements.
