Energy, Decarbonization, and

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
On October 27, 2021, President Biden
announced that the United States would
explore the development of an IPEF that
will contain multiple pillars covering
key areas of interest, including fair and
resilient trade. Negotiating an agreement
under the Fair and Resilient Trade pillar
is an important step towards
strengthening U.S. economic
engagement in the Indo-Pacific region
and promoting durable, broad-based
economic growth. Under the Fair and
Resilient Trade pillar, the
Administration aims to develop highstandard, worker-centered commitments
in the following areas:
• Labor
• Environment and climate
• Digital economy
• Agriculture
• Transparency and good regulatory
practices
• Competition policy
• Trade facilitation
The United States will build upon
high-standard trade commitments and
develop new approaches in trade policy
to advance a broad set of workercentered priorities, and promote
durable, broad-based economic growth.
At this time, the Administration is not
seeking to address tariff barriers.
II. Public Comment
The Trade Policy Staff Committee
(TPSC) invites interested parties to
submit comments to assist USTR as it
develops negotiating objectives and
positions for the IPEF trade pillar. In
particular, the TPSC invites interested
parties to comment on issues that USTR
should address in the negotiations,
including the following:
1. General negotiating objectives for
the proposed agreement.
2. Labor-related matters.
3. Environment and climate-related
matters.
4. Digital economy-related matters.
5. Agriculture-related matters.
6. Transparency and good regulatory
practice issues.
7. Competition-related matters.
8. Customs and trade facilitation
issues.
9. Issues of particular relevance to
small and medium-sized businesses that
should be addressed in the negotiations.
10. Other measures or practices,
including those of third-country
entities, which undermine fair market
opportunities for U.S. workers, farmers,
ranchers, and businesses.
USTR requests small businesses
(generally defined by the Small
Business Administration as firms with
fewer than 500 employees) or
PO 00000
