USMCA Automotive Rules of Origin: Economic Impact and Operation, 2027 Report
(Investigation No. 332-608)

On April 10, 2026, the United States International Trade Commission (Commission) issued a notice for publication in the Federal Register (FR) [PDF, 3 pages] that started the process to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of a proposed questionnaire to be sent to certain firms in connection with Investigation No. 332-608.

Results from the questionnaire will provide vehicle producer information for the Commission’s factfinding investigation on the automotive rules of origin (ROOs) in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and their impact on the U.S. economy, effect on U.S. competitiveness, and relevancy considering recent technology changes. This investigation is in connection with United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 4532(g)(2)) (the Act). The Act requires the Commission to prepare a series of five biennial reports on the USMCA automotive ROOs, and to provide those reports to the President, the House Committee on Ways and Means, and the Senate Committee on Finance. This is the third of the five biennial reports.

The public may submit comments regarding the form, format, and content of the draft questionnaire within 60 days, or through June 9, 2026, as part of the OMB approval process. Please do not complete the questionnaire at this time. Any comments on the draft questionnaire should be sent via email to USMCAAutoROO@usitc.gov. All comments on the draft questionnaire will become part of the public record of the investigation, and USITC staff will file all comments received under docket number 332-608 in the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS), its repository of record for all investigation documents. As all comments will be part of the public record, please do not submit proprietary or confidential business information as part of your comments on the draft questionnaire. If you have proprietary, confidential, or otherwise sensitive business information that would be useful for the project team to know or understand as it relates to the form, format, or content of the draft questionnaire, please email the project team at USMCAAutoROO@usitc.gov.

Comments are invited on (1) the elements of the draft questionnaire, (2) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary; (3) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (4) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
