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 announced an upcoming request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of a proposed questionnaire to be sent to certain firms in connection with Commission Investigation No. 332-608. On July 7, 2026, the Commission submitted the information collection request to OMB [PDF, 2 pages] for review.
This investigation and report are conducted in accordance with section 202A(g)(2) of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (“USMCA Implementation Act”)). The USMCA Implementation 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. 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 in light of technological changes.
The Commission’s public comment period is now closed. If you would like to make comments on the questionnaire, please visit the Office of Management and Budget’s Information Collection Review Dashboard at https://www.reginfo.gov.
