The Commerce Department is updating its regulations on dispute settlement for antidumping and countervailing duty cases under USMCA, it said in an interim final rule. The USMCA Article 10.12 provisions are “substantively identical” to those found in NAFTA Article 1904, so the changes are minor, including updating old references to NAFTA to now say USMCA, and updates to outdated cross-references to other regulations and to outdated notice, filing, service and protective order procedures. The interim final rule takes effect Dec. 9, though it does not apply to any binational panel under NAFTA, “or any extraordinary challenge arising out of any such review, that was commenced before July 1, 2020,” Commerce said. Comments are due Jan. 10, 2022.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce objects to legislation meant to update antidumping and countervailing duty laws, it said in a letter to leadership of House Ways and Means Committee and its Trade Subcommittee. Soon after the Chamber sent its letter, lawmakers introduced the House version of the Eliminating Global Market Distortions to Protect American Jobs Act, the legislation that the Chamber has concerns about. "The Chamber opposes this bill, which has not been subject to the scrutiny and deliberation required for a complex, far-reaching measure amending U.S. AD/CVD laws," the Chamber said. "This major overhaul of U.S. trade laws could add to inflationary pressures by raising costs for a wide variety of goods, including many products sourced from U.S. allies and partners."
