Supplementary Information

The Committee will be chartered pursuant to section 135(c)(1) and (2) of the Trade Act of 1974, 19 U.S.C. 2155(c) (1) and (2), as amended and Executive Order 11846 of March 27, 1975, 3 CFR 1971-1975 Comp., p. 971 (which delegates certain Presidential responsibilities conferred in section 135 of the Trade Act of 1974 to the United States Trade Representative).

The Labor Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations and Trade Policy consults with and makes recommendations to the Secretary of Labor and the United States Trade Representative on general policy matters concerning labor and trade negotiations, operations of any trade agreement once entered into, and other matters arising in connection with the administration of the trade policy of the United States.

The current charter expires on May 20, 2024.

The Committee is to be comprised of no more than 30 members representing the labor community.

The Committee will meet at irregular intervals at the call of the Secretary of Labor and the United States Trade Representative.
