                                 A BILL


 
 To suspend temporarily the duty on light emitting diode (LED) drivers.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) DRIVERS.

    (a) In General.--Subchapter II of chapter 99 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States is amended by inserting in 
numerical sequence the following new heading:


``     9902.01.00        Light emitting      Free            No change      No change      On or before     ''.
                          diode (LED)                                                       12/31/2015
                          drivers which
                          contain diodes,
                          transistors and
                          other
                          semiconductor
                          material designed
                          to work with an
                          LED array to
                          deliver constant
                          current and to
                          prevent
                          transients of
                          current from
                          damaging the LED,
                          specifically
                          designed to
                          withstand extreme
                          temperatures of
                          55 C at a case
                          temperature of 80
                          C and a full
                          operating ambient
                          temperature range
                          of -40 C to 55 C,
                          offering at least
                          50,000 hours
                          operating life in
                          whole temperature
                          range (provided
                          for in subheading
                          8504.40.95)......

    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) applies 
to goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or 
after the 15th day after the date of the enactment of this Act.
