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 "import volumes" investment restricted to the Commerce slug and for "petition" "domestic investment".

Adjacent but different: EO 14255 established the U.S. Investment Accelerator at Commerce (2025-03-31) to help investors above $1 billion navigate federal regulatory processes. It does not mention AD/CVD exposure and is recorded at #1842.
