OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

[DOCKET NUMBER USTR–2017–0013] 

Request for Comments Concerning an 

Environmental Review of the Proposed 

Renegotiation of the North American 

Free Trade Agreement 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the United 

States Trade Representative (USTR), 

through the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee (TPSC), is initiating an 

environmental review relating to the 

renegotiation of the North American 

Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a free 

trade agreement between the United 

States, Canada, and Mexico. The TPSC 

invites written comments on the topics 

that should be included in the scope of 

the environmental review, including 

potential positive or negative 

environmental effects that might result 

from the trade agreement and potential 

implications for U.S. environmental 

laws and regulations. The TPSC also 

welcomes comments on appropriate 

methodologies and sources of data for 

conducting the review. We will take 

comments on environmental issues we 

received in response to the notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 23, 2017, requesting comments on 

NAFTA negotiating objectives into 

account in preparing the environmental 

review and you do not need to resubmit 

these comments. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

by November 27, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: We strongly prefers 

electronic submissions made through 

the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments in 

section 3 below. The docket number is 

USTR–2017–0013. For alternatives to 

on-line submissions, please contact 

Yvonne Jamison, Trade Policy Staff 

Committee, at (202) 395–3475. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Direct questions about submission of 

comments to Yvonne Jamison at (202) 

395–3475. Direct substantive questions 

to Sarah Stewart at (202) 395–7320. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

On May 18, 2017, following 

consultations with relevant 

Congressional committees, USTR 

informed Congress that the President 

was entering into negotiations with 

Canada and Mexico with respect to the 

NAFTA. Through a notice in the 

Federal Register (82 FR 23699) and a 

public hearing held on June 27–29, 

2017, in Washington, DC, the TPSC 

invited the public to provide comments 

and testimony to assist USTR in 

assessing U.S. objectives for the 

proposed agreement. You can find a 

description of the U.S. negotiating 

objectives for the NAFTA on the USTR 

Web site: https://ustr.gov/sites/default/ 

files/files/Press/Releases/NAFTA

Objectives.pdf. 

2. Environmental Review 

Section 105(d)(1)(A) of the Bipartisan 

Congressional Trade Priorities and 

Accountability Act of 2015, 19 U.S.C. 

4201, requires environmental reviews of 

trade agreements consistent with 

Executive Order 13141 (64 FR 63169, 

Nov. 18, 1999) and the implementing 

guidelines (65 FR 79442, Dec. 19, 2000). 

The purpose of environmental reviews 

is to ensure that policymakers and the 

public are informed about reasonably 

foreseeable environmental impacts of 

trade agreements (both positive and 

negative), to identify complementarities 

between trade and environmental 

objectives, and to help shape 

appropriate responses if environmental 

impacts are identified. Reviews are one 

of the tools we use to integrate 

environmental information and analysis 

into the fluid, dynamic process of trade 

negotiations. USTR and the Council on 

Environmental Quality jointly oversee 

implementation of the Executive Order 

and its implementing guidelines. USTR, 

through the TPSC, is responsible for 

conducting the individual reviews. You 

can find additional background 

information and examples of prior 

environmental reviews on the USTR 

Web site: https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/ 

environment/environmental-reviews.
