     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

[[Page 9972]]

     and Opportunity Act in 2000, and United States direct 
     investment in sub-Saharan Africa has grown almost sixfold.
       (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.

     SEC. 107. BIENNIAL AGOA UTILIZATION STRATEGIES.

       (a) In General.--It is the sense of Congress that--

     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

       (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

                   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.

     paragraph (1) in the investigation or, if a review has been 
     completed, in the most recently completed review.

     that sales of the foreign like product have been made at 
     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

     values.--In valuing the factors of production under paragraph 
     (1) for the subject merchandise, the administering authority

     that broadly available export subsidies existed or particular 
     instances of subsidization occurred with respect to those 
     price or cost values or if those price or cost values were 
     subject to an antidumping order.''.

     review.''; and
       (5) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(2) Determination of unduly burdensome.--In determining
