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.
