Research notes
Cluster negative search E&C-1 (chapter log): Federal Register full text since 2025-01-20 for "self-initiation" (1 hit, a 2025-03-31 correction notice), "surrogate country" (73 hits, all individual AD/CVD case notices), "non-market economy" methodology (131, same), "Top Markets" (0); plus a jq pass over every in-window Federal Register record whose agency is the International Trade Administration, with the individual AD/CVD case notices filtered out. Also Federal Register full text since 2025-01-20 for "standing team", decoupling
and "defense industrial base" restricted to the Commerce Department slug.
Where this work is happening it is happening elsewhere: BIS runs the Section 232 investigations (nine new ones opened in the window, from semiconductors to wind turbines) and holds the critical-technology rulemaking (RIN 0694-AK17). None of that is a standing I&A team of the kind the Quote describes.
