Amends the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States to extend the additional duty on ethanol through January 1, 2015.

Authorizes the President to proclaim the suspension of the extension of this additional duty on ethanol beginning on the date the President certifies to Congress that the United States has obtained an enforceable agreement with Brazil that eliminates all tariffs and nontariff barriers on imported U.S. ethanol, including binding Brazil's tariff rate on U.S. ethanol imports at an effective rate of zero.

Prescribes a procedure for congressional disapproval by joint resolution of such a certification.
