EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The global economy is changing rapidly with the rise of new foreign competitors, complex cross-border economic integration, and the fast pace of innovation. Moreover, the global recession has demonstrated how interdependent the world has become and underscores the need for the United States to compete globally. U.S. domestic consumption, which has driven economic growth in recent decades, will not be enough to ensure the competitiveness and health of our domestic industries. The strength of the U.S. economy continues to depend on a vibrant global marketplace. A renewed focus on ensuring U.S. companies’ success in overseas markets and increasing foreign direct investment in the United States will not only help strengthen the long-term health of U.S. industries, but also directly stimulate domestic job creation. To emphasize the agency’s role in the complementary missions of export and business investment promotion, using both international advocacy and support for U.S. businesses at home, the Budget proposes to rename the agency to the International Trade and Investment Administration (ITIA).The ITIA’s mission is to create prosperity by strengthening the international competitiveness of U.S. industry, promoting trade and investment, and ensuring fair trade and compliance with trade laws and agreements. In support of the Administration’s export and investment priorities, ITIA has redirected resources to key export promotion programs, optimized its support to export-ready industries, targeted high-growth, emerging markets, including the removal of trade barriers and expanding market access, vigorously enforced trade rules and trade laws, and promoted the relationship between export growth and investment. ITIA, through its programs, services, and workforce leverages its relationships with and understanding of industry and its domestic and overseas field presence to better serve its range of customers and stakeholders. The organization consists of three business units that will work together to achieve ITIA’s mission effectively and efficiently: (1) Industry and Analysis; (2) Enforcement and Compliance; and (3) Global Markets. The combination of its industry sector, regional, and trade expertise alongside its export promotion, enforcement and compliance, and policy responsibilities enables ITIA to analyze its customers’ issues and needs holistically, make recommendations, and take actions. Industry and Analysis advances the international competitiveness of U.S. industries by leveraging in-depth sector and analytical expertise and relationships with U.S. industry in the development and execution of innovative international trade and investment policies and strategies; expands U.S. exports by utilizing relationships with industry stakeholders and strategic partners in the design and conduct of export promotion programs that provide higher value to private sector clients; and adds value to U.S. trade and investment policies and programs through administration of industry advisory committees. Enforcement and Compliance promotes the efficient and effective administration of U.S. antidumping (AD) / countervailing (CVD) trade law remedies; addresses and curtails trade-distorting practices; promotes adoption of disciplines and practices by U.S. trading partners that enhance transparency and impartiality in foreign trade law practices and administration; and administers the Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) program and other import programs that support U.S. jobs. It also represents and advocates on behalf of U.S. industry interests with regard to the exercise and enforcement of U.S. rights under bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, including through the interagency mechanisms.
ITA- 5
Global Markets advances U.S. commercial interests by engaging with foreign governments and U.S. businesses, identifying and resolving country-specific market barriers, and leading interagency efforts advocating for U.S. firms with foreign governments; expands U.S. exports by developing and implementing policies and programs to increase U.S. access to and presence in foreign markets; provides market contacts, knowledge, opportunities and customized solutions to U.S. firms, especially small and medium-sized enterprises; and, expands foreign investment into the United States by promoting the U.S. as an investment destination. Expand Overseas Presence in Priority Markets: +$3.3 million / 2 FTE ITIA is requesting an increase of 2 FTE and $3.3 million to place Foreign Commercial Service Officers and the equivalent of 16 locally engaged staff in high-growth, priority markets. The expansion will support the Administration’s Asia Rebalance and U.S. Strategy towards Sub-Saharan Africa and enable identification of more export opportunities for U.S. companies, more rapid and timely business counseling, and enhanced commercial diplomacy and advocacy support. SelectUSA: +$13.0 million / 10 FTE ITIA is requesting an increase of 10 FTE and $13.0 million to support implementation of the SelectUSA program, established by Presidential Executive Order on June 15, 2011. SelectUSA will promote and facilitate business investment in the United States to create jobs and spur economic growth through a coordinated federal government-wide effort. Dedicated SelectUSA personnel will allow SelectUSA to create “Investment Promotion Teams” to support high-impact, high-growth investors to invest, expand, or return to the United States. SelectUSA will provide enhanced investment attraction capabilities through investment education and counseling, ombudsman regulatory assistance, and advocacy. With new information technology capabilities to aggregate, analyze and communicate data and information generated at the federal, state, and local levels, SelectUSA will deliver an efficient and streamlined resource for the investment community. Interagency Trade Enforcement Center: +$7.7 million / 9 FTE ITIA is requesting an increase of 9 FTE and $7.7 million to support the Interagency Trade Enforcement Center (ITEC). ITEC serves as the primary forum within the USG to coordinate enforcement of U.S. trade rights under international trade agreements and domestic trade laws, in a manner consistent with existing regulatory and statutory authorities. ITEC brings a new “whole of government” approach to addressing unfair trade practices and strengthening U.S. trade enforcement capacity by coordinating among USTR, Commerce and other agencies with trade-related responsibilities. This increase will enable ITIA to expand and build upon those trade enforcement activities that it has undertaken in recent years, including subsidies enforcement, trade remedy compliance, and addressing foreign trade barriers and unfair trade practices, so as to help support and complement the work of ITEC. Survey of International Air Travelers: +$1.5 million / 0 FTE ITIA is requesting an increase of 0 FTE and $1.5 million to conduct a program evaluation of the Survey of International Air Travelers (Inflight Survey). ITIA has not had sufficient resources to meet the requirement stipulated in the Travel Promotion Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-145) to survey 1% of international travelers. These resources are intended to allow ITIA to work with outside
ITA- 6
experts to assess and document opportunities and risks associated with operating and funding the activity in its current state versus alternate operational models. Administrative Savings and Inflationary Offsets: -$4.3 million / 0 FTE In order to help offset the cost of inflationary changes in the organization’s ongoing operations, ITIA will generate $4.3 million in savings within its base. The reductions will be realized through the ongoing management of administrative savings. Positions that are vacated through attrition will continue to be carefully managed so that only the mission critical vacancies are replaced. In addition, travel, training and contract costs will continue to be closely reviewed to ensure that only the highest priority activities are funded. Adjustments to Base (ATBs): +$15.6 million / 20 FTE ITIA requests an ATB net increase of $15.6 million and 20 FTE to fund inflationary changes required to maintain current operations. This figure includes a net increase of $5.2 million to fund labor related changes such as the FY 2015 Federal pay raise of 1.047 percent and the increase in agency contributions to Federal Employee Retirement System plans. In FY 2015, ITIA is required to pay an additional $9.0 million to the Department of State based on participation in the Capital Security Cost-Sharing Program (CSCSP). The remaining net increase of $1.4 million would support cost changes for non-labor activities, service contracts, utilities, field office lease payments, rent changes from the General Services Administration (GSA), and other pricing adjustments associated with supporting ITIA’s overseas posts.

APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT: OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION BUDGET ACTIVITY: INDUSTRY AND ANALYSIS For FY 2015, ITIA requests a total of $57,236,190 and 244 FTE for Industries and Analysis (including inflationary adjustments). This funding includes a net increase of $1,454,599 and 0 FTE. BASE JUSTIFICATION: Industry and Analysis Overview The mission of Industry and Analysis (I&A) is to advance the international competitiveness of U.S. industries by leveraging its in-depth sector and analytical expertise in the development and execution of trade policy, export expansion and investment promotion strategies. I&A develops critical economic and international policy analyses and information that are used to improve market access for U.S. industry globally and to design and implement innovative trade and investment promotion programs. I&A ensures appropriate industry and other stakeholder input into trade policy development, negotiations and implementation through an extensive network of industry advisory groups and public-private partnerships, including technical and matching grants assistance to U.S. exporters. I&A serves as the primary liaison between U.S. industry and the U.S. Government on industry-specific trade and U.S. investment promotion issues. I&A also administers programs that support small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) access to global markets, such as the Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) and the administration of the Export Trading Company Act. A strategic, data-driven approach to increasing exports and foreign direct investment in the U.S. (and supporting U.S. jobs) is critical to achieving meaningful results and effectively using resources. I&A facilitates the development of comprehensive export expansion and U.S. investment promotion strategies and action plans that are strongly connected to industry-client needs, especially of small and medium-sized companies. These strategies recommend key actions and policies tailored to industries and markets that are designed to create and capture commercial opportunities for U.S. industries. The strategies and action plans cover a broad spectrum of U.S. industries and markets where U.S. exports and foreign direct investment in the U.S. can grow with the assistance of coordinated public and private sector efforts. Industry and Analysis Organization The I&A unit is organized into eight sub-programs under the Operations and Administration appropriation: • Manufacturing • Services • Textiles, Consumer Goods, and Materials • National Travel and Tourism Office • Trade Policy and Analysis • Advisory Committees • Trade Programs and Strategic Partnerships • Trade Agreement Secretariat
ITA- 57
INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENTS: ITIA requests a net increase of $0.8 million to fund inflationary adjustments to current programs for I&A activities. The increase will fund the estimated 2015 Federal pay raise of 1.047 percent as well as the increase in agency contributions to Federal Employee Retirement System plans. The increase will also provide inflationary increases for non-labor activities, including service contracts, utilities, and rent charges from the General Service Administration (GSA). SUB-PROGRAMS: MANUFACTURING AND SERVICES The Manufacturing and Services units both support exports and foreign direct investment in the U.S. by leveraging in-depth industry expertise and an understanding of the dynamics of global competition to develop and implement policies and improve U.S. business competitiveness globally, focusing specifically on high growth export sectors and markets and opportunities for foreign direct investment. These units ensure appropriate industry and other stakeholder input into trade and investment policy development, trade negotiations and implementation. Customer and stakeholder engagement include: developing and leading sector-focused trade initiatives that identify industry-specific challenges and opportunities; coordinating public and private sector responses to address them, which range from leading trade missions to targeted markets to leveraging U.S. Government resources to maximize exports and foreign direct investment in a particular sector; and, developing and implementing sector-specific export and investment strategies. These units develop industry-specific negotiating priorities for the U.S. Government and develop and recommend strategies that further open foreign markets, address industry-specific tariff and non-tariff barriers, and deal with other issues that affect trade in manufactured goods and services. These units work closely with the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) in negotiating bilateral, regional and multilateral trade agreements and policy outcomes affecting these industries, providing key technical support. In addition, the Manufacturing and Services units play a critical role following the conclusion of trade negotiations by analyzing and reporting on potential benefits to U.S. producers and consumers, devising programs to capitalize on opportunities created, and supporting compliance with trade agreement provisions. The units also support the Department of Commerce’s involvement with U.S. Government export financing and lending organizations, such as the Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and serve as the principal Federal unit to implement and monitor the Safe Harbor program for U.S. industry’s compliance with requirements of the European Union’s (EU) Privacy Directive. SUB-PROGRAM: TEXTILES, CONSUMER GOODS AND MATERIALS (TCGM) The Textiles, Consumer Goods and Materials sub-program includes the Office of Textiles and Apparel and the Office of Consumer Goods and Materials. The Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) administers and enforces agreements and preference programs concerning the textile, apparel, footwear and travel goods industries and works to ensure fair trade and a level playing field for these industries to enhance their competitiveness in international markets. OTEXA has an active export promotion program that assists small and medium-sized U.S. textile and apparel firms to develop and expand their export markets, helping job retention and creation
ITA- 58
in this and related sectors. In FY 2012, OTEXA’s export promotion efforts generated over 1,700 trade leads from trade show events in Chile, India, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa and France. OTEXA assisted 90 companies in business matchmaking projects in FY 2012, and business matchmaking efforts since 2008 contributed to sales of $50 million by small textile firms to buyers in the Middle East, Europe, Russia and South America. OTEXA works closely with USTR in negotiating bilateral and multilateral trade agreements affecting these industries, providing key technical support for textiles and apparel chapters in each Free Trade Agreement (FTA); seeking and evaluating industry views on international trade issues affecting these industries; and, formulating textile policy positions on proposed trade agreements and legislative initiatives. In addition, the office administers textile and apparel-related provisions of U.S. trade agreement and preference programs and chairs the interagency Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITIA), which sets policy on textile safeguard actions, actions against illegal transshipment, and other related issues. The Office of Consumer Goods and Materials (CGM) provides industry expertise, trade policy guidance, and market access advocacy for a wide variety of consumer goods and materials industry sectors. CGM industry experts identify issues of strategic and commercial interest to those industry sectors and work with its stakeholders to enhance their international competitiveness. They also conduct economic analyses to determine the competitiveness impacts of domestic and international regulations, trade negotiations, and multilateral environmental agreements in order to provide policy advice to decision-makers and negotiators. TACGM staff coordinate with TPA in analyzing miscellaneous tariff bills for textile, apparel, footwear, consumer goods, and materials industries; develop and implement sector-specific export plans; provide industry expertise to assist the International Buyer Program activities; and manage the largest Industry Trade Advisory Committees in support of the Advisory Committees program SUB-PROGRAM: NATIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM OFFICE As provided in the President’s National Travel and Tourism Strategy, the National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) coordinates government-wide activities in support of achieving the President’s goal of promoting exports and investment in the U.S. travel and tourism industry. NTTO includes the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries, which serves as secretariat to the Tourism Policy Council, represents U.S. travel and tourism policy in international fora, serves as the principal liaison to the Corporation for Travel Promotion (CTP) and performs research and other functions delineated in the Travel Promotion Act of 2009. The CTP, now doing business as BrandUSA, is a non-profit organization created by Congress to facilitate the expansion of U.S. travel and tourism exports. Within the funding levels provided, ITIA intends to continue the direct funding at current levels for the collection of travel and tourism data through the In-Flight Survey. SUB-PROGRAM: TRADE POLICY AND ANALYSIS (TPA) The Trade Policy and Analysis (TPA) unit supports U.S. Government trade policy formulation and negotiations by providing the trade and economic analysis and issue expertise needed to expand exports and foreign direct investment in the United States, objectives that will benefit U.S. businesses and provide new opportunities to expand U.S. exports of goods and services. The unit also serves as the primary source of trade data within the ITIA and is responsible for undertaking cross-sectoral economic analysis, such as the number of annual jobs supported by exports.
ITA- 59
TPA leads the development of ITIA’s positions on cross-sectoral international trade policy issues. The office utilizes its specialized issue expertise and economic analysis to provide guidance on U.S. market access positions on industrial goods, rules of origin, and government procurement in trade negotiations. TPA publishes detailed data and conducts analysis on obstacles and opportunities facing U.S. industries to support U.S. trade and investment promotion activities, including public outreach on the outcomes of trade agreement negotiations. It also participates in discussions with international organizations (e.g., the World Trade Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the United Nations) working on trade issues. TPA serves as the focal point on standards both within ITIA and with U.S. industry, working to address standards-related market access barriers by focusing on U.S. and international standards policy and standards development issues, especially with regard to emerging and cross-cutting issues. In investment, TPA is responsible for ensuring that non-conforming measures and other compliance issues do not negatively affect the competitiveness of U.S. industry. TPA ensures that U.S. industry interests are fully represented in U.S. positions on World Trade Organization issues by coordinating and providing policy guidance on overarching WTO work including ongoing accessions, trade policy reviews, the Doha Round negotiations, and standing cross-cutting WTO committees. TPA assists U.S. companies in resolving or overcoming Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) related trade barriers in foreign markets through the negotiation of trade agreement obligations, the provision of bilateral advocacy on systemic and company-specific challenges and the deployment of public awareness and educational resources and programs, including management of the U.S. Government’s STOPfakes.gov program. TPA also works to advance U.S commercial interests in U.S. and international IP laws, policies, practices and fora, including serving as Co-Chair of the Transatlantic IPR Working Group as the ITIA delegate to the WTO TRIPs Council meetings, as the ITIA liaison to the National IP Rights Coordination Center, and liaison to the Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator. TPA provides analytical support to the Department on the implementation of safeguard actions, which are designed to provide a remedy for imports that have caused market disruption to the domestic industry. It assesses the economic and competitive effects of remedy measures. TPA also provides analytical support with respect to the implementation of trade sanctions against countries found to be in violation of international trade agreements. When requested by Congress, TPA analyzes miscellaneous tariff bills to ascertain their impact on the competitiveness of U.S. industry and then makes recommendations on an appropriate position to be taken by the Administration. TPA also analyzes and coordinates the ITIA position on potential adjustments to the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP). TPA provides policy decision makers and industry with information on the impacts of economic and regulatory policies on U.S. manufacturing and services industries in the global market. Key information provided includes the number of jobs supported by exports and economic analysis on the effects of international policy developments on U.S. business competitiveness. In addition, TPA manages the Department of Commerce’s obligations as a statutory member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and also manages the Export Trading Company Act (ETCA) TPA-managed data resources are used throughout ITIA by analysts and senior management to address economic barriers and to assist companies in identifying the best export and U.S. investment opportunities. Trade Stats Express, the Exporter Database, and the Metropolitan Export Data Series, three of TPA’s information delivery systems, expand information accessibility to ITIA’s stakeholders through a dynamic web-based interface. These data sets provide critical information to U.S.
ITA- 60
businesses that are considering initiating, or expanding export operations, and to Congress, which is particularly interested in sub-national, state and local data. These resources are essential tools in monitoring the international trade activities of U.S. businesses, particularly SMEs. TPA manages the Trade Policy Information System (TPIS) that provides users throughout the U.S. government full access to trade and economic data from U.S. and international sources for use in government analysis and policy development. SUB-PROGRAM: ADVISORY COMMITTEES Advisory Committees I&A manages an extensive formal industry advisory program, which serves as a communications channel for U.S. companies and other organizations to provide advice to U.S. policymakers on trade and other economic policy issues. The twenty-four advisory committees with more than 500 appointed industry representatives provide a critical link between the economic interests of U.S. industries and the broader public policy concerns of the U.S. Government, including trade and economic policies. The advisory committees include the President’s Export Council, the Manufacturing Council, sixteen Industry Trade Advisory Committees and the Committee of Chairs (administered jointly with USTR), the Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee, the Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee, the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee, the Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness, and the Travel and Tourism Advisory Board. SUB-PROGRAM: TRADE PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS Trade Programs I&A manages an array of trade promotion programs designed to provide U.S. companies and organizations, including SMEs, with targeted, specialized opportunities to introduce their products or services to potential foreign buyers, agents, or distributors. Working alongside ITIA’s Global Markets units, I&A industry experts and Trade Program Staff integrate country and sector expertise into the execution of these programs. These programs include the International Buyer Program, the Trade Fair Certification Program, and Trade Missions.
International Buyer Program. The International Buyer Program is a fee-based service whereby ITIA partners with U.S. trade show organizers and recruits and leads foreign buyer delegations to meet one-on-one with U.S. exhibitors at the trade show. Trade Fair Certification Program. The Trade Fair Certification Program is a fee-based service for international trade show organizers that offers ITIA/DOC endorsement and in-country/onsite business facilitation assistance, such as business matchmaking appointments, market briefings, U.S. Pavilions, and other services for U.S. exhibitors.
Trade Missions Program. The Trade Missions Program organizes and leads U.S. companies on business missions overseas to learn first-hand about foreign markets, make business connections, and advance policy objectives. Working alongside ITIA’s Global Markets units and I&A industry experts, program staff facilitate face-to-face meetings with foreign government officials and qualified potential buyers, agents, distributors, and other potential business partners. Additionally, the Trade Missions Program also “certifies” or endorses trade missions organized by state and private sector multiplier organizations by providing in-country support, such as business matchmaking appointments, networking receptions, site visits, and seminars.
ITA- 61
The Strategic Partnership Program Through the Strategic Partnership Program, I&A develops formal partnerships with private corporations, trade associations, and other organizations to deepen the level of industry-client-government engagement to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of trade and investment promotion programs and policy initiatives. Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) The MDCP provides federal financial assistance and technical support from ITIA staff to trade associations, chambers of commerce and other non-profit industry groups that are particularly effective in helping SMEs to export. Such groups compete for a limited number of MDCP partnerships and must commit at least two-thirds of the project cost if they are selected. Since the program began in FY 1993, MDCP award winners have generated more than $9 billion in U.S. exports. Between FY 1997 and FY 2013, the MDCP has helped generate $325 in U.S. exports for every $1 of the federal contribution to the MDCP award. Trade Agreement Secretariat All Free Trade Agreement implementing legislation contains a provision for the administration of dispute settlement proceedings, with the Statement of Administrative Action (SAA) serving as a link between the legislation and ITIA’s Departmental Organizational Order (DOO). The FTA implementing legislation, SAA, & DOO provides ITIA with the funding authority to designate the Secretariat to function as the Secretariat for FTA dispute settlement. PROGRAM CHANGES FOR FY 2015: Survey of International Air Travelers (Base Funding: $2.0 million and 0 FTE; Program Change: $1.5 million and 0 FTE): Industry and Analysis requests an increase of $1,500,000 for the Survey of International Air Travelers. The increase would be used to conduct a program evaluation of the Survey of International Air Travelers (Inflight Survey). ITIA has not had sufficient resources to meet the requirement stipulated in the Travel Promotion Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-145) to survey 1% of international travelers. These resources are intended to enable ITIA to work with outside experts to assess and document opportunities and risks associated with operating and funding the activity in its current state versus alternate operational models. The evaluation will identify, for example, alternative data collection methodologies and formats, cost reduction opportunities, and possible additional funding mechanisms. The evaluation would also assess the current method and determine if improvements can be made to reduce costs and increase the effectiveness. The goal is to gain a concrete understanding of possible solutions and their approximate costs. Reauthorization of the Travel Promotion Act will allow BrandUSA to continue its critical work in promoting the United States as a premier travel destination and to communicate U.S. entry/exit policies and procedures. The reauthorization will include support for the Survey for International Air Travelers (SIAT), which provides valuable data on U.S. travel and tourism. Administrative Savings and Inflationary Offsets (Base Funding: $55.8 million and 244 FTE; Program Change: -$0.05 million and 0 FTE): In order to help offset the cost of critical inflationary changes to the organization’s ongoing operations, I&A will generate $45,401 in savings within its base. These inflationary adjustments will be absorbed within the program through the application of administrative savings measures such as managing lapse of positions that are vacated through attrition.

Description: The Export Trading Company Act allows U.S. businesses to form export joint ventures called Export Trading Companies (ETC). Companies form ETCs for various purposes including, negotiating lower shipping rates, pooling resources to expand an export market base, avoiding export rivalry by coordinating an export strategy, and selling under a single label. ITIA, with the concurrence of the Justice Department, issues a Certificate of Review under the act. This indicator captures the actual export sales in billions of dollars.

APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT: OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION BUDGET PROGRAM: ENFORCEMENT AND COMPLIANCE For FY 2015, ITIA requests a total of $79,199,207 and 338 FTE for Enforcement and Compliance (including inflationary adjustments). This funding includes a net increase of $7,311,000 and 9 FTE. BASE JUSTIFICATION: Enforcement and Compliance Overview The mission of Enforcement and Compliance (E&C) is to take prompt and aggressive action against unfair foreign trade practices and foreign-government imposed trade barriers by enforcing the U.S. trade laws, monitoring compliance with existing trade agreements and helping to negotiate new trade agreements to address trade-impeding and trade-distorting practices. E&C defends U.S. manufacturers, exporters, workers, and farmers against injuriously dumped and unfairly subsidized imports by administering the U.S. antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) laws, and develops and executes other programs and policies designed to reduce the prevalence of market distorting foreign government activities that can lead to such unfair trade practices. The unit also assists U.S. exporters and investors subject to foreign government barriers by working to ensure foreign government compliance with international trade agreement obligations. In addition, E&C coordinates the representation of U.S. commercial interests in designated bilateral, multilateral and regional trade and investment negotiations and oversees formulation and implementation of policies related to a wide range of areas covered by trade agreement disciplines, as well as areas where agreement disciplines are still being created. The E&C unit:
• Promotes a level playing field for U.S. manufacturers, exporters, workers and farmers by addressing unfairly traded imports and foreign trade barriers;
• Promotes efficient and effective administration of U.S. AD/CVD laws through investigations, administrative reviews, suspension agreements and other AD/CVD proceedings;
• Administers the Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) program and other import programs that support U.S. jobs;
• Promotes adoption of disciplines and practices by U.S. trading partners that enhance transparency and impartiality in foreign trade law practices and administration;
• Identifies and addresses foreign government subsidies programs that unfairly disadvantage U.S. exporters competing overseas;
• Develops policy recommendations and represents U.S. commercial interests in designated bilateral, multilateral and regional trade and investment negotiations;
• Monitors, investigates, evaluates and works to secure foreign government compliance with international trade agreements, so that American workers, industries, and firms can derive the intended benefits;
• Identifies issues and provides in-depth research and analysis, through the Interagency Trade Enforcement Center (ITEC), in support of trade enforcement actions to reduce or eliminate foreign trade barriers and other unfair trade practices; and
ITA- 69
• Represents and advocates on behalf of U.S. industry interests with regard to the exercise and enforcement of U.S. rights under bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, including through interagency mechanisms.
E&C is organized into three sub-programs under the Operations and Administration appropriation:
• AD/CVD Operations • Policy and Negotiations • Foreign Trade Zones
INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENTS: ITIA requests a net increase of 9 FTE and $1.3 million to fund inflationary adjustments to current programs for E&C activities. The increase will fund the estimated 2015 Federal pay raise of 1.047 percent as well as the increase in agency contributions to Federal Employee Retirement System plans. The increase will also provide inflationary increases for non-labor activities, including service contracts, utilities, and rent charges from the General Services Administration (GSA). SUB-PROGRAM: AD/CVD OPERATIONS The AD/CVD Operations sub-program vigorously enforces the U.S. trade laws by conducting AD and CVD investigations, administrative reviews, new shipper reviews, sunset reviews, changed circumstances reviews, and scope and anti-circumvention inquiries within statutory and/or regulatory time limits. AD/CVD Operations also assists in the defense of E&C, all of which is subject to specific determinations in U.S. courts and WTO and NAFTA Panels. E&C conducts investigations under the AD/CVD laws in response to U.S. industry petitions alleging that imports are being dumped or unfairly subsidized and that those imports are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the competing U.S. industry. These investigations vary widely in scope and complexity; each investigation requires:
• Intensive analysis of information provided by the petitioning U.S. industry to determine whether the legal standards for the initiation of an investigation have been satisfied;
• Preparation of extensive questionnaires sent to the relevant foreign governments and/or industry, requesting detailed (and, in most instances, proprietary) information about foreign government subsidy programs and the distribution of benefits, or individual firms’ pricing and selling practices, corporate structures, affiliations and production costs;
• Analysis of responses to the questionnaires and on-site verification of such responses in the foreign country at the relevant national, provincial and local government sites or company offices, and, when appropriate, at U.S. affiliates’ offices and production facilities;
• Calculation of subsidy rates or dumping margins and duty deposit rates; • Preparation of preliminary and final determinations, including detailed analyses of the
information obtained in the investigation and the arguments submitted by the U.S. industry and the affected foreign parties; and;
• Preparation of detailed instructions so that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can implement and enforce the Department’s determinations.
ITA- 70
E&C performs many of the same steps when it conducts administrative reviews of the AD/CVD orders that result from its investigations. Whereas investigations determine whether imports are being dumped or unfairly subsidized, reviews determine the actual amount of duties to be collected to remedy those unfair practices. Over the past five years, E&C (and its predecessor, Import Administration) has conducted approximately 330 reviews per year. E&C routinely receives significantly more requests for review of individual exporters than its available resources permit it to conduct. Increased concerns about evasion of AD/CVD duties, discussed further below, and efforts undertaken to detect and stop such practices, place additional demands on E&C resources. E&C also conducts several other types of reviews of outstanding AD/CVD orders as required by U.S. law and our international obligations, including “new shipper” reviews for exporters that begin shipping to the United States after an AD/CVD order is imposed; periodic “sunset reviews” to determine whether AD/CVD orders should remain in place; and, scope and circumvention inquiries to determine whether particular imported products are covered by outstanding AD/CVD orders. Some importers are increasingly resorting to illegal or inappropriate behavior to avoid or minimize the payment of AD/CVD duties. For example, some importers misreport the country of origin of products subject to AD/CVD orders or establish shell companies to import at lower duties. E&C is elevating its efforts to counter such activities by working collaboratively with CBP, the Department of Justice, and other federal agencies to identify and address fraudulent activity, in some cases leading to fines, felony indictments, and imprisonment of offending parties.
In FY 2013, 38 AD and CVD investigations were initiated, and approximately 352 preliminary or final AD/CVD determinations were issued. In FYs 2009-2012, 23, 17, 16, and 23 new investigations were initiated, respectively. (Additionally in FY 2014, as of January 31, 2014, 28 AD/CVD investigations were initiated and five AD/CVD petitions were being reviewed for adequacy.) While the number of new investigations has fluctuated over the past several years, the average number of AD/CVD determinations issued during this four-year period was approximately 340 per fiscal year. Approximately 45 percent of the AD/CVD orders administered by E&C involve imports from China and other non-market economy countries, such as Vietnam. These cases are uniquely complex. That, plus the fact that the number of China and Vietnam cases remains significant, necessitated a re-allocation of resources within AD/CVD Operations. As a result, building on the expertise developed over the past several years in the China/Non-Market Economy Unit, effective October 1, 2013, each of the seven enforcement offices in AD/CVD Operations will now be assigned AD and CVD cases involving imports from China and Vietnam. With this, an even larger number of analysts will be able to focus on these highly complex trade remedy proceedings. SUB-PROGRAM: POLICY AND NEGOTIATIONS The Policy and Negotiations sub-program oversees a variety of activities and policies regarding the negotiation of trade disciplines in international agreements, the administration of the AD/CVD laws and international subsidies disciplines, the negotiation and administration of suspension agreements of U.S. AD/CVD investigations, as well as the improvement of access to export markets for U.S. companies facing a range of practices and barriers that are inconsistent with international trade rules and agreements or otherwise block/impede U.S. exports or investment. The major activities conducted by E&C under this sub-program include outreach and assistance to U.S. industries and workers (especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to use U.S. AD/CVD law to remedy injury from unfairly traded imports, negotiation and administration of AD/CVD suspension agreements, negotiation of trade disciplines in international agreements
ITA- 71
(including rules on trade remedies, technical barriers to trade, customs/trade facilitation, investment, subsidies, government procurement, competition/State-Owned Enterprises, environment, labor and other areas of particular expertise in negotiations such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and initiatives in the World Trade Organization (WTO), outreach and assistance to U.S. companies or industries confronting foreign government trade actions or barriers that block or impede U.S. exports or investment, including barriers that are governed by trade agreement obligations vis-à-vis the United States, and supporting the Interagency Trade Enforcement Center (ITEC). These and similar activities are outlined in greater detail below. Policy Support for AD/CVD Cases E&C has staff dedicated to the consistent application of policies and procedures in AD/CVD proceedings, while ensuring that broader policy objectives and statutory and international obligations are respected. This staff strives to achieve consistency by reviewing case determinations, and by developing new policies for major or emerging issues. E&C policy staff are responsible for analyzing and informing case investigators and decision makers of the potential ramifications on AD/CVD proceedings posed by developments in the WTO and its associated agreements. This staff also supports the Office of the General Counsel in reviewing decisions made by the Court of International Trade, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, WTO dispute settlement panels and the WTO Appellate Body and provides analytical support in drafting response briefs and argument. Accounting Expertise Accounting staff work alongside investigators in vigorously enforcing the U.S. AD/CVD laws. While the main area of expertise is cost of production, constructed value, and factors of production calculations, the accounting staff are also actively involved in analyzing scope and circumvention inquiries, enforcing trade agreements, providing support to U.S. companies in defense of foreign trade remedy investigations, and in addressing technical accounting-related issues that arise throughout E&C. In FY 2013, the accounting staff worked on over 140 AD investigations and reviews. Outreach and Petition Counseling E&C staff conduct outreach to U.S. businesses, workers and trade associations to raise awareness of trade remedy laws and of ITIA resources available to address foreign government-imposed barriers to trade. Staff with expertise in developing trade remedy petitions and the legal standards for initiating U.S. trade remedy cases, as well as in international trade agreement obligations and the rights of U.S. companies provided by these agreements, counsel U.S. companies, industries and workers that express interest in seeking relief from allegedly unfairly traded imports, or foreign trade barriers impeding their access to foreign markets. Staff members provide materials to assist such companies/industries in drafting a petition, review draft petitions, investigate trade barrier complaints, and maintain a website and hotline designed to educate the public about the trade remedy laws and international trade agreements. E&C continues to expand its outreach efforts to U.S. industries and workers harmed by unfair foreign trade or foreign government barriers, particularly SMEs that may be unfamiliar with the remedies and rights available under the trade laws or international trade agreements and who may be unable to afford legal or other appropriate assistance. In FY 2013, 619 initial and follow-up petition counseling sessions were conducted with a wide variety of firms, including numerous SMEs. In the same period, more than 100 trade barrier investigations involving international trade agreements were initiated.
ITA- 72
Enforcement Efforts to Address Foreign Trade Barriers and Unfair Trade Practices • Trade Agreements Compliance Program. E&C works closely with other ITIA programs to
monitor foreign governments’ implementation of international trade agreements signed with the United States to identify compliance problems. Working directly with U.S. businesses and trade associations, other DOC units, and U.S. embassies, E&C investigates potential failures by foreign governments to implement and adhere fully to trade agreements. Once a foreign government-imposed trade barrier is identified, a case is initiated and a team of experts is formed to reduce or eliminate the barrier, thus opening markets and making trade agreements work for American workers and firms. E&C also works with the USTR Monitoring and Enforcement Unit, including representing ITIA on its task forces, to prioritize potential dispute settlement issues for interagency consideration and to develop cases for formal dispute settlement through the WTO, free trade agreement, or other dispute resolution mechanisms. E&C works with other ITIA units to monitor whether existing agreement obligations are sufficient to open foreign markets or ensure the anticipated U.S. industry access to these markets.
• Subsidies Enforcement. E&C staff implement an active subsidies enforcement program that
provides monitoring, analysis, counseling and advocacy services to U.S. parties harmed by unfair foreign government subsidization and related practices. As directed by law, these activities involve: (1) coordinating U.S. CVD and multilateral subsidies enforcement efforts; (2) assisting the private sector by monitoring and identifying foreign subsidies that can be remedied under U.S. law and the WTO Subsidies Agreement; and (3) producing an annual report to Congress on the Administration’s subsidy monitoring and enforcement activities. The subsidies enforcement staff has identified and is currently evaluating over 960 foreign subsidies and government support practices, the largest portion of which relate to China. This staff works closely with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to coordinate the U.S. Government’s response to foreign CVD investigations brought against U.S. exports, involving outreach to all relevant federal, state and local government agencies that administer alleged U.S. subsidy programs.
• Foreign Trade Remedy Compliance. E&C tracks other countries’ use of trade remedies,
including AD and safeguard laws, and provides assistance to U.S. companies facing potential obstacles in accessing export markets due to foreign trade remedy cases. E&C works with many U.S. companies targeted by other countries’ trade remedy actions, including engaging the foreign governments when circumstances warrant and, if necessary, assisting USTR in addressing such problems at the WTO. To date, over 100 companies, employing over 1.6 million U.S. workers have been assisted by E&C in such cases. These advocacy efforts helped bring about the successful termination of 12 of these types of measures in 2013, preserving approximately $420 million in U.S. export markets.
• Interagency Trade Enforcement Center (ITEC). ITEC enhances the Administration’s
capabilities to aggressively challenge unfair trade practices and trade barriers around the world, including in China, by bringing a “whole-of-government” approach to identifying and addressing those barriers and unfair practices. ITIA’s work with ITEC, led and coordinated by E&C, enhances these efforts and together they are engaged in a number of activities intended to promote a level playing field for American companies and workers. ITEC facilitates the achievement of these and other related goals by leveraging resources and expertise from across the broad expanse of the federal government. The use of those resources is coordinated to bring a sharper emphasis to the development and execution of
ITA- 73
trade enforcement actions, thereby advancing U.S. foreign policy and the national and economic security of the United States. ITIA works closely with ITEC to identify issues and develop information in several areas of strategic economic importance to U.S. industry and workers. ITIA’s expert staff bring unique, high-value expertise to ITEC on a variety of issues. For example, E&C’s subsidies experts bring considerable analytical experience and an extensive body of research to support the ITEC’s efforts in combating subsidies and related unfair trade practices. In this regard, ITIA has provided key input related to distortive subsidy practices in several countries, including information that has resulted in U.S. requests for dispute settlement consultations at the WTO. Similarly, E&C’s foreign trade remedies experts have worked closely with ITEC to identify concerns related to improperly applied AD, CVD, and safeguards measures affecting U.S. exports in important markets. In addition, ITIA works closely with ITEC on the detailed information it compiles and analyzes on trade enforcement issues related to foreign trade barriers in order to coordinate future research, harmonize actions to monitor and/or intervene, where appropriate, and ensure policy coordination. To this end, ITIA identifies, compiles, analyzes and disseminates to ITEC personnel its regular highlights of new foreign trade barrier investigations that have been initiated under the ITIA Trade Agreements Compliance Program administered by E&C, as well as other trade enforcement issues related to foreign trade barriers which constitute infractions of trade agreement obligations and other foreign government-imposed barriers to U.S. exports and investment.
Various personnel resources hired under this initiative are detailed to ITEC and/or assigned to pursue the ITEC’s program of work in order to provide trade remedies, and trade barriers expertise, as well as sophisticated understanding of foreign subsidy practices to support WTO dispute settlement, as appropriate. Legal expertise supports USTR efforts in WTO dispute settlement. E&C on the ground overseas representation in Geneva, Switzerland, and in Beijing, China provide robust support for ITEC activities. Within ITIA headquarters, staff develop and refine a potent three-pronged customer-oriented approach of monitoring, outreach, and advocacy to address potentially unfair trade practices and trade barriers.
Bilateral AD/CVD Agreements E&C is responsible for the negotiation and administration of AD and CVD suspension agreements and other bilateral agreements, and administers various existing suspension agreements with Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, and Argentina, covering products such as steel, uranium, tomatoes and lemon juice. Administering these agreements includes such responsibilities as calculating and monitoring export limits and reference prices under non-market economy agreements and calculating normal values, or “minimum prices,” for signatory producers/exporters under market economy agreements. This staff also conducts the five-year sunset reviews of these suspension agreements and any requested administrative reviews.
Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis E&C administers the Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) program, a web-based steel import licensing and monitoring program that provides both government officials and the public with the earliest accurate information regarding imports of all basic steel mill products. As of January 31, 2014, more than 4 million import licenses have been issued by E&C’s web-based system since its inception in March 2003. Trade Negotiations & Agreement Implementation E&C leads the negotiating efforts relating to WTO AD rules and works closely with USTR on negotiations relating to subsidies and countervailing measures, including fish subsidies, and a broad
ITA- 74
range of other issues such as technical barriers to trade, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, regulatory coherence, customs and trade facilitation, import licensing, government procurement, anti-corruption, investment, competition, environment and labor. In addition, E&C assists USTR and the Department of State in the negotiation of bilateral investment treaties and FTA investment chapters. E&C also actively supports implementation of WTO and FTA trade and investment agreements, including through participating in the relevant WTO or FTA Committees and other bilateral or regional policy dialogues covering these agreement provisions. E&C is also actively involved, along with other ITIA business units, in regional and bilateral trade negotiations, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. In these negotiations, E&C staff help strengthen the trade and investment “rules of the road” so that U.S. exporters and investors face a more level playing field in international trade. E&C experts offer technical knowledge and detailed expertise regarding the strengths and weaknesses of existing international trade and investment rules, as well as how agreement provisions are being implemented, in order to help achieve more effective agreements and enhanced market access. SUB-PROGRAM: FOREIGN-TRADE ZONES The Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ) sub-program helps to encourage commercial activity and value-added at U.S. facilities in competition with foreign alternatives by allowing delayed or reduced duty payments on foreign merchandise, as well as other savings. FTZs help to reduce production, transaction, and logistics-related costs by lowering effective duty rates, allowing special entry procedures, and encouraging activity closer to market. Reducing costs through FTZ use can lead to more competitive U.S. operations, thereby helping to maintain U.S. commercial presence and jobs. E&C’s FTZ staff serves as the operational arm of the FTZ Board, an interagency body chaired by the Secretary of Commerce. The Board was established to license (through grants of authority) and regulate foreign trade zones under the FTZ Act of 1934 (19 USC 81) and the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400). The FTZ Board licenses public or public-type corporations to administer zones on a local level. Private corporations generally operate the zones under agreement with licensees. Each zone must publish a rate schedule and provide equal access to all companies seeking to use the zone. States and local communities use zones as an element of their economic development efforts. As of the end of 2013, there were 259 zones and over 550 sub-zones in the United States. In 2012, employment in U.S. foreign-trade zones and subzones exceeded 350,000 persons. The volume of exports leaving U.S. foreign-trade zones amounted to nearly $70 billion in 2012. FTZ Board action in FY 2013 included approvals for four new zone projects, 34 expansions or reorganizations of existing zones, and 18 new subzones. In addition, the Board issued decisions on 69 requests for manufacturing authority within existing zones and subzones. In reviewing new manufacturing applications in zones and sub-zones in terms of the public interest, the Board evaluates the net economic effect of the proposed operation, considering such factors as public policy, import penetration, export development, employment impact, and impact on domestic industry. In addition, the FTZ Act requires the FTZ Board to submit a report annually to Congress. The annual report provides information on the use of the program and summarizes FTZ operations for that year. E&C compiles information for the report directly from each zone and has recently automated the submission of report information from zones through a web-based filing system. E&C monitors ongoing FTZ activity for compliance with applicable scope and FTZ Board grant restrictions. E&C also is involved in outreach to local communities to enhance awareness and understanding of the FTZ program as a tool in local economic development.
ITA- 75
PROGRAM CHANGES FOR FY 2015: Interagency Trade Enforcement Center (ITEC) (Base Funding: $7.3 million and 22 FTE; Program Change: +$7.7 million and +9 FTE): ITIA requests an increase of $7,700,000 and 9 FTE. ITEC serves as the primary forum within the USG to coordinate enforcement of U.S. trade rights under international trade agreements and domestic trade laws, in a manner consistent with existing regulatory and statutory authorities. ITEC brings a new “whole of government” approach to addressing unfair trade practices and strengthening U.S. trade enforcement capacity by coordinating among USTR, Commerce, and other agencies with trade-related responsibilities. This increase will enable ITIA to expand and build upon those trade enforcement activities that it has undertaken in recent years, including subsidies enforcement, trade remedy compliance and addressing foreign trade barriers and unfair trade practices, so as to help support and complement the work of ITEC. Various personnel resources hired under this initiative will be detailed to the ITEC and/or assigned to pursue the ITEC’s program of work to research, analyze and address through various means a range of foreign barriers and practices of a priority nature, including as appropriate WTO dispute settlement action. Legal expertise will be expanded to support USTR efforts in WTO dispute settlement. On the ground, overseas representation will also be expanded at the WTO in Geneva, Switzerland, and in Beijing, China, and other foreign locations, as needed, to provide robust support for ITEC activities. Within ITIA headquarters, staff will be increased to further develop and refine a potent three-pronged customer-oriented approach of monitoring, outreach and advocacy to identify and address foreign trade practices and barriers of potential harm to U.S. commercial interests. Administrative Savings and Inflationary Offsets (Base Funding: $71.9 million and 329 FTE; Program Change: -$0.4 million and 0 FTE): In order to help offset the cost of critical inflationary changes to the organization’s ongoing operations, E&C will generate $389,000 in savings within its base. These inflationary adjustments will be absorbed within the program through the application of administrative savings measures such as managing lapse of positions that are vacated through attrition.

The measure will increase certainty within the trade community as to which importers will be liable for the payment of antidumping and/or countervailing duties, the amount of the potential duties owed, and when those duties will be collected. It will also signal to domestic producers the level of potential relief provided to offset the unfair trading practices of foreign producers/exporters and governments.

Performance of the measure depends to a significant extent on WTO-related avenues for addressing UTPs, and, therefore, can fluctuate according to WTO activity cycles. Some key venues in the WTO for addressing UTPs include the Subsidies Committee, the Trade Policy Reviews, and Accession negotiations – the scheduling for which is determined by the WTO Secretariat. UTPs are also often addressed through discussions that take place on the margins of these more formal meetings or in other bilateral context.

E&C Issue Experts have 10 business days in which to examine a possible trade barrier, comparing it with any trade agreement obligation and determining if an agreement is “relevant to helping to solve the case. Making this determination is an important basis for forming an Action Plan, since it may or may not provide leverage to help carry out the plan. This determination also dictates if the trade barrier will be termed a “compliance” case. Cases for which the agreement expert has reviewed the facts obtained and has determined that sufficient information is not yet available, will be marked pending while additional information is being obtained, extending the initial 10-day period for examination

ITA- 84
APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT: OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION BUDGET PROGRAM: GLOBAL MARKETS For FY 2015, ITIA requests a total of $337,525,902 and 1,109 FTE for Global Markets (including inflationary adjustments). This funding includes a increase of $12,490,271 and 12 FTE. BASE JUSTIFICATION: Global Market Overview Global Markets (GM) combines ITIA’s country/regional experts, overseas and domestic field staff, and certain trade promotion programs to support American jobs and competiveness. This is accomplished by promoting U.S. exports, expanding market access for U.S. businesses, advancing U.S. commercial interests abroad, and facilitating inward investment to the United States. The Global Markets unit:
• Advances U.S. commercial interests by engaging foreign governments and businesses, identifying and resolving country-specific market barriers, and leading interagency efforts to advocate for U.S. firms;
• Expands U.S. exports by developing and implementing policies and programs to increase U.S. access to and presence in foreign markets;
• Provides market contacts, knowledge, opportunities and customized client-driven solutions to U.S. firms, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises; and
• Expands inward investment into the United States by promoting the United States as a prime investment destination under the SelectUSA program.
GM will accomplish this through the following services:
• Export Counseling – GM staff guide U.S. companies through the export process from beginning to end on topics including: how to develop new international sales, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, fulfilling documentation requirements, and overcoming trade problems in a given market;
• Market Intelligence and Planning – GM assists U.S. companies to identify target markets and business opportunities and develop effective market entry and expansion strategies;
• Matchmaking and Contacts – GM promotes exports of U.S. goods and services around the world at trade shows, customized promotional events, online, and through other media. GM provides customized services to help U.S. companies identify and engage prospective partners, agents, distributors, and customers;
• Market Development Programs – GM advances U.S. strategic commercial interests by fostering pro-growth trade policies in foreign markets that help expand access and opportunities for U.S. companies;
• Foreign Government Access and Advocacy – GM initiates government action to systematically help U.S. businesses overcome market access barriers and unfair legal and regulatory issues. GM also coordinates USG efforts to ensure that foreign government procurement are based on full and fair evaluation of the commercial and technical merits of all offers;
• Interagency Market Access Strategies – Using a variety of tools and techniques from direct bilateral discussions to formal consultative mechanisms, GM coordinates Federal efforts to implement country and regional market access strategies for addressing broad market access barriers that keep U.S. exports out of foreign markets; and
ITA- 85
• SelectUSA – GM promotes the strength of the United States as an investment location and provides clients (e.g., foreign investors, state economic development organizations) with counseling and advocacy/ombudsmen assistance.
GM assistance is provided to U.S. companies, foreign buyers, and inward investment clients through its web presence (www.trade.gov), public and private partnerships, and a global network of more than 1,400 global trade and investment experts and diplomatic staff in over 100 domestic and 100 international offices, as well as in Washington, DC. The Global Markets unit is organized into four sub-programs under the Operations and Administration appropriation:
• International Field • Domestic Field • Advocacy Center • SelectUSA
INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENTS: ITIA requests a net increase of 11 FTE and $13.0 million to fund inflationary adjustments to current programs for GM activities. The increase will fund the estimated 2015 Federal pay raise of 1.047 percent as well as the increase in agency contributions to Federal Employee Retirement System plans. The increase will also provide inflationary increases for non-labor activities, including service contracts, payments to the Department of State for Capital Security Cost-Sharing Program (CSCSP) and International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS) costs associated with ITIA’s overseas posts, utilities, and rent charges from the General Service Administration (GSA). SUB-PROGRAM: INTERNATIONAL FIELD The International Field program includes Foreign Service Officers (FSOs) and Locally Engaged Staff (LES) located in markets of U.S. commercial significance worldwide and headquarters-based country and regional experts who advance U.S. commercial interests, identify opportunities for U.S. exports, clarify local regulations and standards, resolve disputes with foreign local government officials, and counsel companies on the best strategies to succeed in overseas markets. The program assists companies of all sizes to identify target markets for entry or expansion and develop effective strategies to succeed in those markets. This includes bringing foreign buyers and U.S. companies together through business matchmaking services, promotional support and representation at trade shows and fairs, trade events, product launches, and technical seminars. Program staff also conduct advocacy on behalf of U.S. firms, providing official support for U.S. companies bidding on government contracts in overseas markets. They help U.S. companies find new foreign buyers, partners, or distributors resulting from rapid economic development, rising middle classes, and consumer expansion, in key emerging markets such as India, China, and Brazil. GM collaborates with U.S. businesses and trade associations, other DOC units, and U.S. embassies, to investigate transactional problems or market access barriers that could disrupt U.S. firms’ access to foreign markets. GM specialists work to resolve trade problems before having to resort to lengthy, formal dispute settlement procedures. The country and regional experts in GM provide technical knowledge and detailed country and issue expertise needed for addressing trade issues identified by
ITA- 86
U.S. firms and resolving such issues through formal and informal bilateral and regional discussions. GM analyzes market barriers, develops detailed data and information related to technical problems and obstacles, and conducts economic and commercial analyses necessary for U.S. business clients as well as for successfully negotiating trade agreements. GM’s regional units initiate a variety of public-private programs to promote pro-growth policies in foreign markets and pre-empt potential trade barriers. GM operates such programs through government-to-government and public-private dialogues that seek to improve the overall level of U.S. trade. These activities support increasing exports and building a stronger, market-oriented economic system in these areas of the world, which contributes both to U.S. economic goals and global stability. GM targets services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that lack the resources to either determine their rights under U.S. trade agreements or to resolve market access barriers on their own. GM recognizes that many U.S. firms, especially SMEs, may not be aware of their rights, obligations, and opportunities in foreign markets, nor are they aware of the assistance the ITIA can provide in resolving their trade problems. The International Field, working with the Domestic Field, continues to pursue an outreach program to U.S. businesses and industry associations across the country. In addition, GM will provide market research and services to the more than 300,000 U.S. exporters, to expand U.S. business opportunities in core market areas. GM uses local experts who identify market trends and opportunities as they develop and communicate that market intelligence to the U.S. business community. These staff conduct market research and provide targeted services so that more U.S. companies can find local partners/distributors and buyers for their exports in these important markets. Key regional initiatives include a focus on Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. These actions aim to help U.S. exporters capture opportunities in important and growing markets. SUB-PROGRAM: DOMESTIC FIELD The Domestic Field program includes a network of 108 U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs) across the United States that focus primarily on the exporting needs of SMEs. Working alongside the International Field, Domestic Field trade specialists help identify opportunities for U.S. exporters, clarify foreign regulations and standards, provide support to clients who have business disputes abroad or encounter foreign market barriers, and counsel U.S. companies on the best strategies to succeed in overseas markets. The Domestic Field also plays a primary role in educating U.S. firms, especially SMEs, that may not be aware of their rights, obligations, and opportunities in foreign markets, or of the assistance ITIA can provide in resolving their trade problems. Working with other ITIA programs, the Domestic Field organizes educational outreach programs to U.S. businesses and industry associations across the country. Unlike large corporations, most U.S. SMEs do not possess internal international business expertise in some critically important functional areas, such as marketing, global logistics, international strategy development, international taxation, and trade finance. Working with Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC) partners, the Domestic Field’s international trade specialists fill this gap, thereby enabling SMEs to compete more effectively in the global marketplace. Program staff helps U.S. exporters develop international marketing strategies, find partners, overcome a range of hurdles to exporting, and collect payment. Since 58 percent of U.S. exporters ship to only one market, there is considerable potential for increased U.S. exports if these companies consider selling their goods and services to additional
ITA- 87
markets. Through market research, business matchmaking and counseling, GM helps lower the fixed costs many exporters face when moving to additional markets. GM works collaboratively with the Small Business Administration (SBA) to serve SMEs. GM focuses on assisting New to Market (NTM) firms expand to new overseas markets and refers New to Export (NTE) firms to SBA for follow-up. SUB-PROGRAM: ADVOCACY CENTER The Advocacy Center coordinates Federal resources and authority in order to level the playing field on behalf of U.S. business interests as they compete against foreign firms for specific foreign government contracts. In doing so, the Advocacy Center helps support and retain U.S. jobs through exports and is an essential element in the success of GM initiatives. GM overseas staff provides counseling to companies on advocacy; performs and coordinates advocacy efforts overseas; and, provides key market intelligence that guides national interest determinations and advocacy campaigns. GM domestic staff provides outreach to clients and counsels companies on advocacy services. In December of 2012, the President signed an Executive Order (EO) giving the Advocacy Center the authority to call upon the resources of participants of the Interagency Task Force on Commercial Advocacy in order to carry out its duties internationally. The EO identifies the Advocacy Center as the primary interagency coordinator across 14 different agencies to execute “whole of government” approach to help U.S. exporters win business overseas. Advocacy services include:
• Assessing advocacy requests, including formulating national interest determinations; • Providing and facilitating government-to-government advocacy by overseas staff, U.S.
Ambassadors and senior Federal officials; • Coordinating with other trade-related agencies (e.g., Department of State, United States
Trade Representative, Export-Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and the Trade Development Agency) to ensure coordinated U.S. Government (USG) advocacy on projects, including working with trade finance agencies to help U.S. companies successfully bid on major projects; and
• Assisting U.S. companies that are seeking business with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), including: coordinating and leveraging Federal, MDBs, and other resources to expand outreach; enhancing access; and leveling the playing field on behalf of U.S. business, thereby helping U.S. business win contracts and secure financing, increasing U.S. market share in developing countries, and expanding the national contribution to global economic development.
SUB-PROGRAM: SelectUSA Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a vital role in supporting U.S. jobs and helping to bolster U.S. export competitiveness. U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned firms accounted for nearly one-fifth of all U.S. goods exports in 2011. In the same year, they employed approximately 5.6 million U.S. workers. SelectUSA operates as a complement to state and local economic development efforts to promote the United States as the best market for investment in the world and addresses business climate concerns that may impede investment. SelectUSA accomplishes its mission by responding to investor inquiries, serving as ombudsman for international investors with concerns and issues
ITA- 88
involving Federal agencies, connecting investors with U.S. states on a geographically-neutral basis, and undertaking outreach and engagement with the international investor community. SelectUSA raises awareness about the U.S. business climate, highlights federal programs and services available to the investment community, and helps counter misinformation about U.S. policy on openness to investment. By working with current and potential investors, U.S. economic development organizations, service providers, foreign governments, and multiplier organizations, SelectUSA contributes to the overall awareness about opportunities in the United States. The SelectUSA program leverages the resources of GM’s International Operations around the world to deliver on its mission of promoting inward investment in the United States. GM has Locally Engaged Staff (LES) in 32 key markets that represent the greatest opportunity for inward investment into the United States. In-country staff respond immediately to foreign investor inquiries and refer ombudsman cases to SelectUSA staff based in Washington, DC, and offer U.S. states and regions opportunities to promote their jurisdictions for investment attraction through targeted outreach efforts. LES provide post-investment customer service for companies that have already invested in the United States to ensure that any issues they face are addressed in a timely manner. They promote the United States as a destination to new investors through their engagement in the local investment community, and manage inward investment-related matters for the U.S. Ambassador, ensuring a responsive and clear message to foreign investors in a given country. PROGRAM CHANGES FOR FY 2015: Expand Presence in Overseas Markets (Base Funding: $318.0 million and 1,076 FTE; Program Change: +$3.3 million and 2 FTE): ITIA is requesting an increase of 2 FTE and $3,328,340 to place Foreign Commercial Service Officers and the equivalent of 16 locally engaged staff in high-growth, priority markets. The expansion will support the Administration’s Asia Rebalance and U.S. Strategy towards Sub-Saharan Africa and enable identification of more export opportunities for U.S. companies, more rapid and timely business counseling, and enhanced commercial diplomacy and advocacy support. SelectUSA (Base Funding: $7.0 million and 21 FTE; Program Change: $13.0 million and 10 FTE): ITIA is requesting an increase of 10 FTE and $13,000,000 to support implementation of the SelectUSA program, established by Presidential Executive Order on June 15, 2011. SelectUSA will promote and facilitate business investment in the United States to create jobs and spur economic growth through a coordinated federal government-wide effort. Dedicated SelectUSA personnel will allow SelectUSA to create “Investment Promotion Teams” to support high-impact, high-growth investors to invest, expand, or return to the United States. SelectUSA will provide enhanced investment attraction capabilities through investment education and counseling, ombudsman regulatory assistance, and advocacy. With new information technology capabilities to aggregate, analyze and communicate data and information generated at the federal, state, and local levels, SelectUSA will deliver an efficient and streamlined resource for the investment community. Administrative Savings and Inflationary Offsets (Base Funding: $325.0 million and 1,097 FTE; Program Change: -$3,8 million and 0 FTE): In order to help offset the cost of critical inflationary changes the organization’s ongoing operations, GM will generate $3,838,069 in savings within its base. The reductions will be realized through the on-going management of administrative savings. Positions that are vacated through attrition will continue to be carefully managed so that only the mission critical vacancies are replaced. In addition, travel, training and contract costs will continue to be closely reviewed to ensure that only the highest priority activities are funded.

This funding includes administrative savings of $113,251 and 0 FTE. BASE JUSTIFICATION: Executive Direction and Administration Overview The mission of the Executive Direction and Administration (ExAd) unit is to achieve U.S. trade expansion and economic growth through executive leadership; well-conceived policy guidance; and efficient and effective management of ITIA resources. This unit plans, determines, coordinates policy for, and directs programmatic activities; oversees the agency’s budget, financial and internal control requirements, program evaluation and performance; and; provides centralized strategic and operational management of information technology (IT) resources. The ExAd budget is organized into the following three main units that support the Management & Corporate Services sub-program under the Operations and Administration appropriation:
Executive Direction The Office of the Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (OCFAO) The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO)
INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENTS: ITIA requests a net increase of 0 FTE and $0.4 million to fund inflationary adjustments to current programs for Executive Direction and Administration activities. The increase will fund the estimated 2015 Federal pay raise of 1.047 percent as well as the increase in agency contributions to Federal Employee Retirement System plans. The increase will also provide inflationary increases for non-labor activities, including service contracts, utilities, and rent charges from the General Service Administration (GSA). SUB-PROGRAM: MANAGEMENT & CORPORATE SERVICES Executive Direction Executive Direction includes the Office of the Under Secretary, the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary, the Office of Public Affairs, and the Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs. The Offices of the Under Secretary and Deputy Under Secretary provide overall executive leadership and guidance to ITIA through: the planning, determination, and coordination of policy; providing direction on strategic priorities; and, the development and implementation of a government-wide strategy for federal trade and investment promotion efforts. Executive Direction represents ITIA on the National Economic Council, the Trade Policy Review Group, and serves on other Secretarial

level boards, committees, or panels for which the primary focus is international trade and/or investment. The Office of the Deputy Under Secretary is also responsible for the day-to-day management of ITIA. The Office of Public Affairs communicates to the public the importance of exports and the Administration’s trade and investment agenda to strengthen the U.S. economy and U.S. global competitiveness. The Office also: communicates ITIA’s services and successes to the appropriate press and business audiences in the United States and around the world; provides increased visibility to the ITIA brand; enhances customer service to internal and external stakeholders; and provides information to the public and the press on issues related to the activities of the ITIA. The Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs acts as a liaison to the Legislative branch; informs legislative and intergovernmental stakeholders about current international trade and investment matters and export opportunities; and, keeps ITIA aware of new trade-related legislative initiatives. The Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC) Secretariat convenes the Principals and Deputies meetings of the TPCC member agencies, convenes the working groups that contribute to export promotion, and coordinates and manages initiatives at the programmatic level to ensure all export-promotion agencies are working together to the benefit of U.S. exporters.
Office of the Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (OCFAO) The OCFAO oversees the agency’s resources and measures program performance to ensure ITIA’s success in achieving its strategic goals. The office provides shared services solutions to ITIA programs and manages the budgetary, financial and administrative aspects of ITIA, and ensures the needs of ITIA clients and employees are fulfilled. The OCFAO enables ITIA programs to operate at maximum efficiency and improve overall effectiveness through the use of integrated systems, program analysis and evaluation, strategic planning, employee engagement activities, and continuous business process improvement. In addition OCFAO maintains strong links between performance and budgets to ensure that strategic objectives are met. Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) The Office of the CIO (OCIO) provides enterprise-wide leadership for ITIA’s strategic and operational use of information technology resources. OCIO develops and implements IT policy, manages ITIA’s IT planning activities, oversees IT investments through the capital planning and review process, and delivers IT services and solutions that empower ITIA and partner organizations to execute their missions efficiently and effectively. By providing the necessary IT tools and maintenance, the OCIO provides a platform that ITIA employees and customers around the world use to research trade issues, understand trade agreements, and collaborate on export promotion activities.

Exhibit 32
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade and Investment Administration
Operations and Administration JUSTIFICATION OF PROPOSED LANGUAGE CHANGES
In all instances of the use of the title “International Trade Administration” replace with “International Trade and Investment Administration”. To emphasize the agency's role in the complementary missions of export and business investment promotion, using both international advocacy and support for U.S. businesses at home, the Budget proposes to rename the agency to the International Trade and Investment Administration (ITIA). The ITIA improves the competitiveness of U.S. industry, promotes trade and investment, and ensures fair trade and compliance with trade laws and agreements. After the phrase “For necessary expenses for international trade activities of the Department of Commerce provided for by law,” insert the following: “to carry out the SelectUSA Initiative as provided by Executive Order 13577 of June 15, 2011,” This change provides ITIA the domestic authority necessary to implement the SelectUSA program, which was established by Presidential Executive Order on June 15, 2011. The Executive Order mandates that SelectUSA be housed in the Department of Commerce (DOC). ITIA’s Global Market program will provide SelectUSA with the necessary operational infrastructure to execute its mission of promoting business investment in the U.S. by foreign and domestic sources.

Operations and AdministrationCONSULTING AND RELATED SERVICES
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
ITIA uses consulting services to meet relatively short-term requirements for industry and/or economic expertise, and to focus on specific areas such as export promotion events, negotiations, antidumping and countervailing duty cases. It is more economical to employ intermittent short-term expertise to meet these demands rather then maintain a permanent staff.

Department of CommerceInternational Trade and Investment Administration
Operations and AdministrationPERIODICALS, PAMPHLETS, AND AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
ITIA publications, periodicals, as well as pamphlets, are some of the most essential tools with which the organization fulfills its mission to carry out the U.S. Government’s non-agricultural trade activities, to encourage and promote U.S. exports of manufactured goods, to administer U.S. statutes and agreements dealing with foreign trade, and to advise on U.S. international and domestic trade and commercial policy.
Individual publications include economic and market research studies, and inward investment reports. ITIA plays an essential role in disseminating these publications to keep the business public informed on particular aspects of the global business picture.
The growth in FY 2014 Estimate is based on the cost of rebranding existing promotional materials to reflect the proposed change to the agency's name.

APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT: GRANTS TO MANUFACTURERS OF WORSTED WOOL FABRICS BUDGET ACTIVITY: INDUSTRY AND ANALYSIS
For FY 2015, the International Trade and Investment Administration (ITIA) requests no funding associated with the Grants to Manufacturers of Worsted Wool Fabrics. INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENTS: ITIA requests a net decrease of $5,332,000 from the Grants to Manufacturers of Worsted Wool Fabrics account to recognize expiration of the authorizing legislation at the end of FY 2014. BASE JUSTIFICATION: Title V of the Trade and Development Act of 2000 created tariff rate quotas, providing reduced and duty-free treatment for a specified quantity of imports of certain worsted wool fabrics suitable for use in manufacturing certain tailored garments. Authority for the Tariff Rate Quota program has been extended several times and now legislatively is slated to terminate at the end of 2014. The Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 provided authority to the Secretary of Commerce to promote domestic employment by issuing grants to manufacturers of worsted wool fabrics. The grant program is paid for by the Wool Apparel Manufacturers Trust Fund, maintained by Treasury, which receives a portion of the duties collected from importers of certain wool products. Each year, Treasury is required to transfer approximately $5.3M from the Trust Fund to the Commerce Department’s International Trade and Investment Administration (ITIA) so that ITIA can distribute those funds through grants to a small number of firms in the worsted wool fabric manufacturing industry, allocated through a six-year-old formula according to each company’s share of the relevant market in 1999, 2000, and 2001. The program was originally slated to expire in 2007, but has been extended multiple times, and now legislatively is slated to expire at the end of 2014. This program has been renewed in the Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79), but the funding of it has now been switched to the Commodity Credit Corporation administered by the Secretary of Agriculture.
