     SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``AGOA Extension and 
     Enhancement Act of 2015''.

     SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Since its enactment, the African Growth and Opportunity 
     Act has been the centerpiece of trade relations between the 
     United States and sub-Saharan Africa and has enhanced trade, 
     investment, job creation, and democratic institutions 
     throughout Africa.
       (2) Trade and investment, as facilitated by the African 
     Growth and Opportunity Act, promote economic growth, 
     development, poverty reduction, democracy, the rule of law, 
     and stability in sub-Saharan Africa.
       (3) Trade between the United States and sub-Saharan Africa 
     has more than tripled since the enactment of the African 
     Growth and Opportunity Act in 2000, and United States direct 
     investment in sub-Saharan Africa has grown almost six-fold.
       (4) It is in the interest of the United States to engage 
     and compete in emerging markets in sub-Saharan African 
     countries, to boost trade and investment between the United 
     States and sub-Saharan African countries, and to renew and 
     strengthen the African Growth and Opportunity Act.
       (5) The long-term economic security of the United States is 
     enhanced by strong economic and political ties with the 
     fastest-growing economies in the world, many of which are in 
     sub-Saharan Africa.
       (6) It is a goal of the United States to further integrate 
     sub-Saharan African countries into the global economy, 
     stimulate economic development in Africa, and diversify 
     sources of growth in sub-Saharan Africa.
       (7) To that end, implementation of the Agreement on Trade 
     Facilitation of the World Trade Organization would strengthen 
     regional integration efforts in sub-Saharan Africa and 
     contribute to economic growth in the region.
       (8) The elimination of barriers to trade and investment in 
     sub-Saharan Africa, including high tariffs, forced 
     localization requirements, restrictions on investment, and 
     customs barriers, will create opportunities for workers, 
     businesses, farmers, and ranchers in the United States and 
     sub-Saharan African countries.
       (9) The elimination of such barriers will improve 
     utilization of the African Growth and Opportunity Act and 
     strengthen regional and global integration, accelerate 
     economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa, and enhance the trade 
     relationship between the United States and sub-Saharan 
     Africa.

     section 112 of the African Growth and Opportunity Act with 
     respect to a beneficiary sub-Saharan African country if the 
     President determines that withdrawing, suspending, or 
     limiting such duty-free treatment would be more effective in

     designation of the country as a beneficiary sub-Saharan 
     African country for purposes of this section.

     African Growth and Opportunity Act (19 U.S.C. 3703(a)(1)(A))

     ``rights''.

     SEC. 107. BIENNIAL AGOA UTILIZATION STRATEGIES.

       (a) In General.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) beneficiary sub-Saharan African countries should 
     develop utilization strategies on a biennial basis in order 
     to more effectively and strategically utilize benefits 
     available under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (in 
     this section referred to as ``AGOA utilization strategies'');
       (2) United States trade capacity building agencies should 
     work with, and provide appropriate resources to, such sub-
     Saharan African countries to assist in developing and 
     implementing biennial AGOA utilization strategies; and
       (3) as appropriate, and to encourage greater regional 
     integration, the United States Trade Representative should 
     consider requesting the Regional Economic Communities to 
     prepare biennial AGOA utilization strategies.
       (b) Contents.--It is further the sense of Congress that 
     biennial AGOA utilization strategies should identify 
     strategic needs and priorities to bolster utilization of 
     benefits available under the African Growth and Opportunity 
     Act. To that end, biennial AGOA utilization strategies 
     should--
       (1) review potential exports under the African Growth and 
     Opportunity Act and identify opportunities and obstacles to 
     increased trade and investment and enhanced poverty reduction 
     efforts;
       (2) identify obstacles to regional integration that inhibit 
     utilization of benefits under the African Growth and 
     Opportunity Act;
       (3) set out a plan to take advantage of opportunities and 
     address obstacles identified in paragraphs (1) and (2), 
     improve awareness of the African Growth and Opportunity Act 
     as a program that enhances exports to the United States, and 
     utilize United States Agency for International Development 
     regional trade hubs;
       (4) set out a strategy to promote small business and 
     entrepreneurship; and
       (5) eliminate obstacles to regional trade and promote 
     greater utilization of benefits under the African Growth and 
     Opportunity Act and establish a plan to promote full regional 
     implementation of the Agreement on Trade Facilitation of the 
     World Trade Organization.
       (c) Publication.--It is further the sense of Congress 
     that--
       (1) each beneficiary sub-Saharan African country should 
     publish on an appropriate Internet website of such country 
     public versions of its AGOA utilization strategy; and
       (2) the United States Trade Representative should publish 
     on the Internet website of the Office of the United States 
     Trade Representative public versions of all AGOA utilization 
     strategies described in paragraph (1).

     SEC. 108. DEEPENING AND EXPANDING TRADE AND INVESTMENT TIES 
                   BETWEEN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA AND THE UNITED 
                   STATES.

       It is the policy of the United States to continue to--
       (1) seek to deepen and expand trade and investment ties 
     between sub-Saharan Africa and the United States, including 
     through the negotiation of accession by sub-Saharan African 
     countries to the World Trade Organization and the negotiation 
     of trade and investment framework agreements, bilateral 
     investment treaties, and free trade agreements, as such 
     agreements have the potential to catalyze greater trade and 
     investment, facilitate additional investment in sub-Saharan 
     Africa, further poverty reduction efforts, and promote 
     economic growth;
       (2) seek to negotiate agreements with individual sub-
     Saharan African countries as well as with the Regional 
     Economic Communities, as appropriate;
       (3) promote full implementation of commitments made under 
     the WTO Agreement (as such term is defined in section 2(9) of 
     the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3501(9)) because 
     such actions are likely to improve utilization of the African 
     Growth and Opportunity Act and promote trade and investment 
     and because regular review to ensure continued compliance 
     helps to maximize the benefits of the African Growth and 
     Opportunity Act; and
       (4) promote the negotiation of trade agreements that cover 
     substantially all trade between parties to such agreements 
     and, if other countries seek to negotiate trade agreements 
     that do not cover substantially all trade, continue to object 
     in all appropriate forums.

     SEC. 109. AGRICULTURAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR SUB-SAHARAN 
                   AFRICA.

       Section 13 of the AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004 (19 U.S.C. 
     3701 note) is amended--
       (1) in subsection (a)--
       (A) by striking ``shall identify not fewer than 10 eligible 
     sub-Saharan African countries as having the greatest'' and 
     inserting ``, through the Secretary of Agriculture, shall 
     identify eligible sub-Saharan African countries that have'';

     phytosanitary rules of the United States'' and inserting ``, 
     complying with sanitary and phytosanitary rules of the United 
     States, and developing food safety standards'';
       (2) in subsection (b)--

     Customs and Border Protection;

     absent information that a transaction may pose a national 
     security or compliance threat; and

     prices that represent less than the cost of production of the 
     product.''.
       (b) Prices and Costs in Nonmarket Economies.--Section 
     773(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677b(c)) is

     price or cost values or if those price or cost values were 
     subject to an antidumping order.''.

     needed to achieve equilibrium in the balance of payments of 
     the exporting country, as such methodology is described in

     `equilibrium-real-exchange-rate approach' means a methodology 
     under which the level of undervaluation of the real effective 
     exchange rate of the currency of the exporting country is

     exchange rate and the real effective exchange rate, as such 
     methodology is described in the guidelines of the 
     International Monetary Fund's Consultative Group on Exchange 
     Rate Issues, if available.
       ``(iii) Real exchange rates.--The term `real exchange 
     rates' means the bilateral exchange rates derived from 
     converting the trade-weighted multilateral exchange rates 
     yielded by the macroeconomic-balance approach and the

     terms.''.

     1677(5A)(B)) is amended by adding at the end the following 
     new sentence: ``The fact that a subsidy may also be provided 
     in circumstances that do not involve export shall not, for 
     that reason alone, mean that the subsidy cannot be considered 
     contingent upon export performance.''.

     SEC. 705. APPLICATION TO CANADA AND MEXICO.

       Pursuant to article 1902 of the North American Free Trade 
     Agreement and section 408 of the North American Free Trade

TITLE VIII--PROCESS FOR CONSIDERATION OF TEMPORARY DUTY SUSPENSIONS AND 
                               REDUCTIONS

     SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``American Manufacturing 
     Competitiveness Act of 2015''.

     SEC. 802. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NEED FOR A MISCELLANEOUS 
                   TARIFF BILL.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) As of the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States imposes 
     duties on imported goods for which there is no domestic 
     availability or insufficient domestic availability.
       (2) The imposition of duties on such goods creates 
     artificial distortions in the economy of the United States 
     that negatively affect United States manufacturers and 
     consumers.
       (3) It is in the interests of the United States to update 
     the Harmonized Tariff Schedule every 3 years to eliminate 
     such artificial distortions by suspending or reducing duties 
     on such goods.
       (4) The manufacturing competitiveness of the United States 
     around the world will be enhanced if Congress regularly and 
     predictably updates the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to suspend 
     or reduce duties on such goods.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     to remove the competitive disadvantage to United States 
     manufactures and consumers resulting from an outdated 
     Harmonized Tariff Schedule and to promote the competitiveness 
     of United States manufacturers, Congress should consider a 
     miscellaneous tariff bill not later than 180 days after the 
     United States International Trade Commission and the 
     Department of Commerce issue reports on proposed duty 
     suspensions and reductions under this title.
