                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of

                (Public Law 116-113), it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment of the Interagency Labor 
                Committee for Monitoring and Enforcement. The 
                Interagency Labor Committee for Monitoring and 
                Enforcement (Committee) is hereby established to 
                coordinate the efforts of the United States to monitor 
                the implementation and maintenance of the labor 
                obligations of Canada and Mexico, to monitor the 
                implementation and maintenance of Mexico's labor 
                reform, and to recommend enforcement actions with 
                respect to Canada or Mexico, as provided for in section 
                715 of the Act.

                Sec. 2. Membership. The Committee shall be co-chaired 
                by the United States Trade Representative and the 
                Secretary of Labor, and shall include representatives

                of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, and 
                the United States Agency for International Development. 
                The Co-Chairs may invite representatives from other 
                executive departments or agencies, as appropriate, to 
                participate as members or observers. Each executive 
                department, agency, and component represented on the 
                Committee shall ensure that the necessary staff are 
                available to assist their respective representatives in 
                performing the responsibilities of the Committee. The 
                Committee, by consensus, may designate members to 
                assist it in carrying out the functions described in 
                the Act.

                Sec. 3. Committee Decision-Making. The Committee shall 
                endeavor to make any decision on an action or 
                determination under sections 712 through 719 of the Act 
                by consensus, which shall be deemed to exist where no 
                member objects to the proposed action or determination.

                Sec. 4. Funding. Each executive department and agency 
                participating in the Committee shall bear its own 
                expenses incurred in connection with the Committee's 
                functions described in sections 711 through 719 of the 
                Act. The Department of Labor will provide funding for 
                the hotline required under section 717 of the Act.

                Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
