Include supply-chain transparency mechanisms in Trade Promotion Authority
Not started
Printed page 614 18. Department of Labor and Related Agencies
“For future authorizations of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), the President should urge Congress to: … Create mechanisms for supply-chain transparency.”
What has happened
- Not started
Trade Promotion Authority lapsed on 2021-07-01 and Congress has not renewed it. No bill of the 119th Congress reauthorizes TPA, so there is no authorization in which to place supply-chain transparency mechanisms, and the President has made no request for one.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
- Negative search: chapter log, Cluster negative search — the trade asks (#1692, #1693, #1694, #1695, #1696).
- A title search of all 18,476 bills of the Congress for “Trade Promotion Authority” returns none.
- The administration has conducted its trade policy under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and section 232 and 301 authorities instead, which is why no TPA request has been made — recorded so a later pass does not read the silence as an oversight.
