Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act

The Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act or H.R.3882 is a bill that attempts to address unfair trade practices by changing antidumping and countervailing duty law to establish a process for successive antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The law tries to make it easier for petitioners to bring new cases when subsidized production moves to another country. Successive investigations may be concurrent with an ongoing investigation of the same product or recently completed. The bill creates a timeline for the Department of Commerce to issue determinations in successive investigations. The bill also provides a legal framework for the Commerce Department to investigate currency undervaluation as a countervailable subsidy.

IPEF Trade Pillar Not Ready; Commerce Pillars Done
November 16, 2023 by Mara Lee|Top News

The Commerce-led pillars of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework -- tax and anti-corruption, climate and supply chain -- are all completed or all-but-completed, but the U.S. chose not to talk about which parts of the trade pillar have reached agreement during a round of IPEF negotiations in San Francisco. The administration also is making no projections about when the trade pillar, led by the U.S. trade representative, might be completed.
