                Memorandum of April 1, 2019

                
Delaying Submission of the Small Business Report 
                Under the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act 
                of 2015

                Memorandum for the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
                Small Business Administration

                The Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 
                2015 (TFTEA) (Public Law 114-125) requires you to 
                submit to the Congress a report on the economic impacts 
                of a covered trade agreement on small businesses not 
                more than 180 days after you convene an Interagency 
                Working Group for the relevant trade agreement. The 
                reports for the negotiations of trade agreements with 
                Japan, the European Union, and the United Kingdom will 
                be due during the course of negotiations. To ensure 
                that the negotiations are not disrupted, however, by 
                the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 502 of the TFTEA, I require 
                you to delay the submission of each report until after 
                the relevant negotiation is concluded, but not later 
                than 30 days after the trade agreement is signed, 
                provided that the delay allows you to submit the report 
                to the Congress not later than 45 days before the 
                Senate or the House of Representatives acts to approve 
                or disapprove the trade agreement.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                memorandum in the Federal Register.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
