SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Section 232 and Adjustments of Imports of Automobile Parts
On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908,
``Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts into The United
States,'' 90 FR 14705 (April 3, 2025) (Automobile Proclamation), which
imposed additional tariffs on certain automobiles and automobile parts.
The Automobile Proclamation also required the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) to establish a process for including additional automobile
parts articles within the scope of the tariffs imposed by the President
in the Automobile Proclamation. In addition to inclusions made by the
Secretary, this process provides for including additional automobile
parts articles at the request of a domestic producer of an automobile
or automobile parts article, or an industry association representing
one or more such producers, where the request establishes that imports
of additional automobile parts articles have increased in a manner that
threatens to impair the national security or otherwise undermines the
objectives set forth in Proclamation 9888 (84 FR 23433, May 17, 2019),
the Automobile Proclamation, or any subsequent proclamation addressing
the threatened impairment to the national security under Section 232 of
the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862) (Section
232). When the Secretary receives such a request from a domestic
producer or industry association, the Secretary, after consultation
with the United States International Trade Commission and U.S. Customs
and Border Protection, is to issue a determination regarding whether to
include the articles within 60 days of receiving the request. Any
additional automobile parts articles that the Secretary has determined
to be included within the scope of the tariffs described in the
Automobile Proclamation are to be so included on or after 12:01 a.m.
eastern daylight time the day after a notice in the Federal Register
describing the Secretary's determination. The notice in the Federal
Register is to be made as soon as practicable but no later than 14 days
after the Secretary's determination.
The International Trade Administration (ITA), in this interim final
rule (IFR), establishes the process for including additional automobile
parts articles within the scope of the tariffs imposed by the President
in the Automobile Proclamation. While the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) is promulgating this rule, ITA will administer the
process described in the rule.
B. Purpose of This IFR
The Automobile Proclamation required that this process be
established within 90 days, meaning no later than June 24, 2025. The
Secretary of Commerce established the automobile parts articles
inclusion process on June 24, 2025, as required by the Automobile
Proclamation. See https://www.trade.gov/press-release/department-commerce-announces-new-auto-parts-tariff-inclusions-process. ITA,
through BIS, is publishing this IFR to inform the public of the
establishment of this process. The automotive industry is in a state of
rapid development for various technologies, including in the areas of
alternative propulsion systems, autonomous driving capabilities, and
other advanced technologies. It is important that manufacturers
supporting both the commercial vehicle industry and the defense sector
have the opportunity to identify new and emerging automotive products
with importance for defense applications to be considered under the
scope of this action. In addition, there are many automotive products
that fall under broad tariff codes that include parts beyond the
automotive sector. While the Department made a best estimate of the
most important tariff codes to apply to the scope of the Section 232
action, industry experts may be aware of broad Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) codes that have become
increasingly important to automotive uses that were not originally
considered under this investigation. It is expected that up to 50
respondents from the private sector will complete submissions to be
considered for automobile parts inclusion submissions in connection
with Proclamation 10908. Those submissions are estimated to take each
respondent eight hours to complete, four times per year, resulting in
total estimated respondent burden of approximately 1,600 hours.
C. Submitting Public Comments on This Interim Final Rule
The comment submission process on this IFR is separate and distinct
from the comment submission process for the inclusion requests. For
submitting comments on this IFR in regulations.gov, follow the
instructions as specified in the ADDRESSES section of this IFR. For
submitting comments on inclusion requests, please follow the
instructions as provided in the regulatory text within Supplement No. 2
to 15 CFR 705.
II. Amendments To Establish the Automobiles Inclusions Process
A. Submission Phase
Domestic producers of automobiles or automobile parts articles, or
any industry association representing one or more such producers, may
submit
[[Page 44769]]
automobile parts articles inclusion requests during two-week submission
windows that ITA will open four times annually at the beginning of each
January, April, July, and October, and the first such window is to open
for two weeks on October 1, 2025. All two-week submissions will occur
on the first of the prescribed months. Submissions of inclusions
requests must be submitted in PDF format via email to
[email protected]. For the request to be considered valid, the
requestor must provide the following in their request:
Clear identification of the requestor (i.e., producer of
an automobile or automobile parts article, or an industry association
of such producers);
A precise description of the automobile parts article that
is the subject of the request;
The eight or ten-digit HTSUS classification requested to
be included in the scope of the tariffs;
An explanation of why the article is an automobile parts
article;
Pertinent information on the domestic industry affected;
Statistics on imports and domestic production;
A description of how and to what extent imports of the
article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the
national security or otherwise undermines the objectives set forth in
Proclamation 9888, the Automobile Proclamation, or any subsequent
proclamation addressing the threatened impairment to the national
security;
Any business confidential submissions must also include a
non-confidential public version; and
All information submitted must be limited to 30 pages
inclusive of all attachments.
ITA will review the received requests on a rolling basis during the
two-week submission window to validate that each received request
contains all the required elements and does not exceed the page
limitation. In the instance where the requestor does not include all
the required elements or otherwise improperly filed the submission, at
the discretion of the Under Secretary for International Trade, the
requestor will be granted a 48-hour window to submit a proper filing.
The use of fixed submission windows will provide predictability to
industry and will be the most efficient use of ITA resources given the
short timeframes to secure and process public comments and provide
recommendations.
B. Review and Public Comment Phase
ITA will publicly post non-confidential versions of all valid
requests for a 14-day public comment window on regulations.gov after
the conclusion of the two-week submission window. Collecting public
comments will ensure a transparent, complete, and legally robust
process for conducting analysis and making final determinations of
inclusion requests. This action will also represent confirmation of
receipt and acceptance by ITA, initiating the 60-day timeline for
processing automobile parts articles inclusion requests as directed in
the Automobile Proclamation. ITA will begin analysis of each accepted
inclusion request concurrently with the start of the public comment
window. Each inclusion request will be assessed for: (1) whether the
described product at the eight- or ten-digit HTSUS classification is an
automobile parts article; and (2) whether imports of such automobile
parts articles have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the
national security or otherwise undermines the objectives set forth in
Proclamation 9888, the Automobile Proclamation, or any subsequent
proclamation addressing the threatened impairment to the national
security.
Where and How To Submit Public Comments
Public comments on inclusion requests are to be submitted through
regulations.gov, via the regulations.gov IDs through the Federal
eRulemaking website at: https://www.regulations.gov, within the 14-day
public comment window. The following regulations.gov IDs correspond to
the four annual windows: January regulations.gov ID: ITA-2025-0039,
April regulations.gov ID: ITA-2025-0040, July regulations.gov ID: ITA-
2025-0037; and October regulations.gov ID: ITA-2025-0038. No other
submission methods are being used for submitting public comments for
the inclusions process. This comment submission process for inclusion
requests is separate and distinct from the process for submitting
public comments on this IFR. To submit comments on this IFR, follow the
instructions as specified in the ADDRESSES section of this IFR.
C. Decision Phase
With respect to each request, the Secretary or designee will make a
positive or negative determination. After the determination, ITA will
generate and publicly post a determination memorandum in
regulations.gov for each inclusions request within 60 days of receiving
the requests that: (1) states whether the request was approved or
denied; and (2) summarizes the rationale for making this determination.
The date of the determination must be prior to the close of the
respective 60-day processing period, as directed in the Automobile
Proclamation. A Federal Register notice will then be issued that
announces the modification of Annex I to the Automobile Proclamation
with the included products at the eight- to ten-digit HTSUS subheading.
Duties on newly included articles will take effect shortly thereafter
through coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The
Federal Register notice will note the effective date of duties on the
newly included notice.
III. Regulatory Changes
The following provisions are being added as Supplement No. 2 to
Part 705:
An introductory paragraph is added to explain the
background and establishment of the Section 232 automobile parts
articles inclusion process;
Paragraph (a) is added to explain the scope of the
automobile parts articles inclusion process;
Paragraph (b) is added to provide information on who may
submit an inclusion request;
Paragraph (c) is added to provide the timeframes for
submitting inclusion requests and to provide requestors with
information on the submission windows of when to submit their requests;
Paragraph (d) is added to provide requestors information
on where to submit inclusion requests, the general requirements for
submitting an inclusion request, and the information required in the
request;
Paragraph (e) is added to explain to requestors the review
process of received requests and the process for correcting invalid
submissions;
Paragraph (f) is added to provide information on where and
how to submit public comments;
Paragraph (g) is added to provide information to
requestors and commenters on the review and public comment phase; and
Paragraph (h) is added to detail the procedures ITA takes
with determinations made regarding the inclusion requests.
IV. Rulemaking Requirements
1. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic,
[[Page 44770]]
environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts,
and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This IFR has been determined to be
a ``significant regulatory action,'' although not economically
significant under section 3(f)(1), of Executive Order 12866. Pursuant
to the Automobile Proclamation, the establishment of procedures for an
inclusions process shall be published in the Federal Register. This IFR
is exempt from Executive Order 14192 because it is being issued with
respect to a national security function of the United States.
2. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
(PRA) provides that an agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information, and no person is required to respond to nor
be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of
information, unless that collection has obtained Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval and displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number.
The Department of Commerce (Department) requested and OMB
authorized emergency processing of information collection involved in
this rule, consistent with 5 CFR 1320.13. The Automobile Proclamation
required the Secretary to establish within 90 days a process for
including additional automobile parts articles within the scope of the
tariffs proclaimed in the Automobile Proclamation and this IFR informs
the public of the establishment of that process. The Automobile
Proclamation sets several requirements for the Department to process
petitions requesting the inclusion of automobile parts articles under
the Automobile Proclamation. It states that the process shall provide
for including additional articles at the direction of the Secretary
unilaterally, or at the request of a domestic producer of automobiles
or automobile parts articles or an industry association representing
one or more such producers. Applications for the inclusion of
automobile parts articles must establish that imports have increased in
a manner that threatens to impair the national security or otherwise
undermines the objectives set forth in Proclamation 9888, the
Automobile Proclamation, or any subsequent proclamation addressing the
threatened impairment to the national security under Section 232. The
Automobile Proclamation directs that the Secretary issue a
determination on any such request within 60 days of its receipt. The
immediate implementation of an effective inclusions request process,
consistent with the intent of the Automobile Proclamation, also
requires creating a process to allow any individual or organization in
the United States to submit inclusion requests and to submit comments
in response to such inclusion requests submitted by the public. The
Department has determined the following conditions have been met:
a. The collection of information is needed before the expiration of
time periods normally associated with a routine submission for review
under the provisions of the PRA in view of the Automobile Proclamation,
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/03/2025-05930/adjusting-imports-of-automobiles-and-automobile-parts-into-the-united-states.
b. The collection of information is essential to the mission of the
Department, in particular to the adjudication of automobile parts
articles inclusions requests.
c. The use of normal clearance procedures would prevent the
collection of information of automobile parts articles inclusions
requests for national security purposes.
Agency: Commerce Department.
Type of Information Collection: New Collection.
Title of the Collection: Inclusions to the Section 232 National
Security Adjustments to Automobile Parts Imports.
Affected Public: Private Sector--Businesses.
Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
Response Periods per Year: 4.
Total Estimated Number of Responses: 200.
Average Time per Response: 8 hours.
Total Annual Time Burden: 1,600.
Type of Information Collection: Emergency Collection.
OMB Control Number: 0625-0284.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity
for public comment, and a delay in effective date are inapplicable
because this regulation involves a military function of the United
States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)) because automobiles and automobile parts
production is vital to the U.S. national security. After receiving a
report from the Secretary finding that automobiles and automobile parts
are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under
such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of
the United States, the President determined that he concurred in the
Secretary's finding and determined the nature and duration of the
action that, in the judgment of the President, must be taken to adjust
the imports of the articles so that such imports will not threaten to
impair the national security (as described in Proclamation 9888 and the
Automobile Proclamation).
In the President's judgment, that implementation includes the
creation of an effective process by which affected domestic parties can
submit inclusion requests based on imports that ``threaten to impair
the national security'' of the United States. The President has imposed
tariffs to reduce or eliminate the threat to national security posed by
imports of such products and directed the Secretary to set up this
process as part of the adjustment-of-imports system the President
adopted to protect critical U.S. national security interests. The
immediate implementation of this inclusion process, as directed by the
President, is necessary to identify additional automobile parts
articles that warrant tariffs to protect U.S. national security
interests. Specifically, delaying the adoption of these changes to
solicit public comments would further delay the identification and
imposition of tariffs on such products to protect U.S. national
security.
Even if 553(a)(1) did not apply, the Department also finds that
there is good cause to exempt this rule from the APA requirements for
public notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and delayed
effective date under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) because it would be contrary to
the public interest to have a notice and comment period or other delay
prior to this action taking effect. Specifically, delaying adoption of
this inclusion process would harm the national security of the United
States and harm U.S. manufacturers by further delaying their ability to
request relief from these imports that are damaging their companies and
the U.S. defense industrial base in the process. The U.S. defense
industrial base is critical to protecting U.S. national security and
implementation of this inclusions process is necessary to be adopted as
soon as possible to mitigate any potential national security threat
that acts as a detriment to the public interest.
5. Because neither the APA nor any other law requires an
opportunity for public comment be given for this rule, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
are not applicable. Accordingly,
[[Page 44771]]
no Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is required and none has been
prepared.

Supplement No. 2 to Part 705--Requirements for Submissions Requesting
Inclusions to the Adjustment of Imports of Automobiles and Automobile
Parts Pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as
Amended
On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908,
``Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts into The
United States'' (Automobile Proclamation), which imposed additional
tariffs on certain automobiles and automobile parts. The Automobile
Proclamation also required the Secretary of Commerce to establish a
process for including additional automobile parts articles for
passenger vehicles and light trucks within the scope of the tariffs
imposed by the Automobile Proclamation. In addition to inclusions
made by the Secretary of Commerce (the Secretary), the process is to
provide for including additional automobile parts articles at the
request of a domestic producer of an automobile or automobile parts
article, or an industry association representing one or more such
producers, where the request establishes that imports of additional
automobile parts articles have increased in a manner that threatens
to impair the national security or otherwise undermines the
objectives set forth in Proclamation 9888, the Automobile
Proclamation, or any subsequent proclamation addressing the
threatened impairment to the national security under Section 232 of
the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (Section 232). When the
Secretary receives such a request from a domestic producer or
industry association, the Secretary, after consultation with the
United States International Trade Commission and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection, is to issue a determination regarding whether to
include the articles within 60 days of receiving the request. Any
additional automobile parts articles that the Secretary has
determined to be included within the scope of the Automobile
Proclamation tariffs are to be so included in the Federal Register
describing the determination. The Federal Register notice will note
the effective date of duties. The notice in the Federal Register is
to be made as soon as practicable but no later than 14 days after
the Secretary's determination.
(a) Scope. This supplement specifies the requirements and
process for how directly affected parties located in the United
States may submit requests for inclusions to the duties imposed by
the President. This supplement also specifies the requirements and
process for how parties in the United States may submit inclusion
requests (both business confidential and public versions) and public
comments in response to submitted inclusion requests for inclusion
of automobile parts articles in the tariffs imposed by the President
under the Automobile Proclamation (collectively, 232 submissions).
This supplement also identifies the time periods for such
submissions, the methods of submission, and the information that
must be included in such submissions. This supplement also
identifies the process for analysis of the submissions and public
comments and the action taken upon the final determinations by the
Secretary or designee.
(b) Inclusion requests. Who may submit an inclusion request?
(1) Producers of automobiles or automobile parts within the
United States; or
(2) An industry association representing one or more such
producers may submit inclusion requests.
(c) Timeframe of submitting requests. The International Trade
Administration (ITA) will open a submissions window to receive
automobile parts articles inclusion requests from industry during
two-week submission windows four times annually, beginning on the
first business day of each January, April, July, and October; the
first such window is to open starting on October 1, 2025. All two-
week submissions will occur on the first of the prescribed months.
(d) Inclusion request requirements. For the request to be
considered a valid request, the requestor must adhere to the
following general requirements and provide the following:
(1) Submission through the automobile inclusions process inbox
at [email protected] within the 14-day public comment window;
(2) Requests must be submitted in PDF format;
(3) Limited to 30 pages inclusive of all attachments;
(4) Any business confidential submissions must also include a
non-confidential public version;
(5) Clear identification of the applicant (i.e., individual,
company, or trade association);
(6) A precise description of the automobile parts article;
(7) The eight or ten-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) classification that serves as the basis for
the determination;
(8) An explanation of why the article is an automobile parts
article;
(9) Pertinent information on the domestic industry affected;
(10) Statistics on imports and domestic production; and
(11) A description of how and to what extent imports of the
article threaten to impair the national security or otherwise
undermines the objectives set forth in Proclamation 9888, the
Automobile Proclamation, or any subsequent proclamation addressing
the threatened impairment to the national security under Section
232.
(e) Review of inclusion petition requests. ITA will review the
received requests on a rolling basis during the two-week submission
window to validate that the received requests contain all the
required elements and do not exceed the page limitation. In the
instance where the requestor did not include all the required
elements or improperly filed the submission, at the discretion of
the Under Secretary for International Trade, the requestor will be
granted a 48-hour window to resubmit a proper filing.
(f) Where and how to submit public comments--(1) Where to
submit? Public comments are to be made via regulations.gov via the
regulations.gov ID. The following regulations.gov IDs correspond to
the four annual windows: January regulations.gov ID: ITA-2025-0039,
April regulations.gov ID: ITA-2025-0040, July regulations.gov ID:
ITA-2025-0037; and October regulations.gov ID: ITA-2025-0038. You
may submit business confidential and public version public comments,
identified by the regulations.gov ID above through the Federal
eRulemaking website: https://www.regulations.gov. No other
submission methods are being used for submitting public comments for
the inclusions process. Follow the instructions for submitting
public comments. All filers using the regulations.gov should use the
name of the person or entity submitting the comments as the name of
their files, in accordance with the instructions below. Anyone
submitting business confidential information should clearly identify
the business confidential portion at the time of submission, file a
statement justifying nondisclosure and referring to the specific
legal authority claimed, and provide a non-confidential version of
the submission.
(2) Business confidential submissions. For comments submitted
electronically containing business confidential information, the
file name of the business confidential version should begin with the
characters ``BC.'' Any page containing business confidential
information must be clearly marked ``BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL'' on the
top of that page. The corresponding non-confidential version of the
comments must be clearly marked ``PUBLIC.'' The file name of the
non-confidential version should begin with the character ``P.'' The
``BC'' and ``P'' should be followed by the name of the person or
entity submitting the comments. Any submissions with file names that
do not begin with a ``BC'' or ``P'' will be assumed to be public and
will be made publicly available through https://
[[Page 44772]]
www.regulations.gov. Commenters submitting business confidential
information are encouraged to scan a hard copy of the non-
confidential version to create an image of the file, rather than
submitting a digital copy with redactions applied, to avoid
inadvertent redaction errors which could enable the public to read
business confidential information.
(g) Review and Public Comment Phase. ITA will publicly post non-
confidential versions of all valid requests for a 14-day public
comment window on https://regulations.gov after the conclusion of
the two-week submission window. Members of the public will have the
opportunity to comment on the inclusion requests submitted by
parties. Collecting public comments ensures a transparent, complete,
and legally robust process for conducting analysis and making final
determinations of derivative inclusion requests. ITA will review all
accepted inclusion requests and public comments.
(h) Decision Phase. The Secretary or designee will sign a
positive or negative determination. After the determination, ITA
will, for each inclusions request, and, within 60 days of receiving
the request, generate and publicly post on regulations.gov a
determination memorandum that:
(1) States whether the request was approved or denied; and
(2) Summarizes the rationale for making this determination.
(3) The date of signature on the determination memorandum must
be prior to the close of the respective 60-day derivative inclusion
processing period, as directed in the Automobile Proclamation. A
Federal Register notice will then be issued that modifies Annex I to
the Automobile Proclamation with the included products at the eight-
to ten-digit HTSUS subheadings. Duties on newly included articles
will take effect on the date specified in that Federal Register
notice.
