AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Office of Transportation 
and Machinery, U.S. Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), working with the 
International Trade Administration (ITA) has established a process for 
including additional automobile parts within the scope of the duties 
authorized by the President under section 232 of the Trade Expansion 
Act of 1962. This notice opens the April 2026 inclusions window for 
submissions.

DATES: The inclusions window will open on April 1, 2026, and close at 
11:59 p.m. ET on April 14, 2026.

ADDRESSES: Submissions for inclusions requests must be emailed to the 
automobile parts inclusion inbox at [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions regarding this notice or 
the inclusions process overall, email [email protected] 
regarding automobile parts inclusion requests.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 26, 2025, the President issued 
Proclamation 10908, ``Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile 
Parts Into the United States'' (Automobile Proclamation). This 
proclamation imposed specified rates of duty on imports of automobiles 
and certain automobile parts.
    The Automobile Proclamation also required the Secretary of Commerce 
to establish a process for including additional automobile parts within 
the scope of the duties established in the Automobile Proclamation. An 
interim final rule (IFR) published on September 17, 2025 (90 FR 44767) 
established a process for including additional automobile parts within 
the scope of the duties authorized by the President under section 232 
of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (Section 232). This IFR 
established recurring two-week windows each year for submissions of 
automobile parts in January, April, July, and October, beginning on the 
first of those months.
    This notice announces the opening of the April 2026 inclusions 
window for submissions for automobile parts for two weeks starting on 
April 1, 2026, and closing at 11:59 p.m. ET on April 14, 2026. Requests 
must be submitted to the automobile parts inclusion inbox at 
[email protected]. Following the close of the submission window, 
accepted inclusion requests will be posted for a two-week public 
comment period on Docket ID ITA-2025-0040 on Regulations.gov. See the 
prior published IFR for details on the inclusions submission process.
    Prior to submission, please ensure that automobile parts being 
submitted for consideration are not already within the scope of the 
duties imposed by the Automobile Proclamation. Furthermore, if a 
decision has not been made on a previously submitted inclusions 
request, please do not submit an additional request with the same 
automobile parts unless new pertinent information is available for 
consideration.

    Dated: March 19, 2026.
Andrew Farquharson,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing. United States 
Department of Commerce.
