On May 18th, the Administration formally notified Congress of its intent to renegotiate NAFTA. This notification triggers a 90-day period before negotiations with Canada and Mexico can begin, as stipulated by the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015. As part of this process, the United States Trade Representative has published a Federal Register Notice soliciting public comments on the Agreement – which will assist the Administration in identifying its negotiating priorities. To submit comments, or to request to participate in a public hearing on June 27th at the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, DC, please visit the notice on regulations.gov, or go to regulations.gov and search for docket number USTR-2017-0006.
