Adjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States

). (f) If the Secretary finds that the offset program is not fulfilling the purposes of Proclamation 10908, as amended, for particular products, the Secretary may publish in the Federal Register a notice that prospectively prohibits automobile or automobile engine manufacturers from using their offset amount for imports of those products. (g) Imports of automobile knock-down kits or other equivalent parts compilations, as determined by CBP, shall not be eligible for import adjustment offsets.''. (12) An importer of record may declare an automobile part or MHDVP as subject to the automobile parts tariff pursuant to Proclamation 10908, as amended, or to the MHDVP tariff pursuant to this proclamation. For an automobile or MHDV part to be eligible for this treatment, the part must meet the following conditions: (a) the part cannot be presently subject to the tariffs imposed pursuant to Proclamation 10908, as amended, or this proclamation; (b) the part cannot be classifiable in Chapters 72, 73, or 76 of the HTSUS; and (c) the part must be used for automobile- or MHDV-related production or repair activity in the United States, as attested to by certification from the importer of record. (13) To more effectively address the national security threats found in Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), as amended; Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States); Proclamation 9888, as amended; and this proclamation, I deem it necessary and appropriate to allow modification of tariffs imposed under Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705, as amended, based on certain increased commitments of certain steel or aluminum products that support United States production capacity of key products, including United States automobiles and MHDVs. Accordingly, the Secretary is authorized to reduce tariffs owed under Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705, as amended, by up to half the applicable rate for aluminum or steel producers that operate production facilities in Canada or Mexico and supply United States automobile or MHDV manufacturers. Such adjustments shall be limited to quantities of aluminum or steel equal to newly committed United States production capacity, as determined by the Secretary. In no cases shall the adjusted rate under Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705, as amended, be lower than 25 percent. Rate adjustments shall also be limited to imports of aluminum and steel that qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the USMCA and that were smelted and cast or melted and poured in Canada or Mexico. Any adjustment by the Secretary shall be consistent with the need to address the national security threats I have found under section 232, including in Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; Proclamation 9888, as amended; and this proclamation. (14) The Secretary shall continue to monitor imports of MHDVs, certain MHDVPs, and buses. The Secretary also shall, from time to time, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate, review the status of such imports with respect to the national security. The Secretary shall inform the President of any circumstances that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate the need for further action by the President under section 232. The Secretary shall also inform the President of any circumstance that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate that the increase in duty rate provided for in this proclamation is no longer necessary. (15) As of the effective date of this proclamation, only manufacturing drawback claims made in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) of section 313 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1313(a)-(b), and no other drawback, shall be available with respect to the duties imposed on MHDVPs pursuant to this proclamation and on automobile parts pursuant to Proclamation 10908, as amended. The Secretary may adjust a company's offset accrual amount as necessary to avoid awarding excessive offset accrual benefits for United States-assembled vehicles production that receives drawback benefits upon exportation. (16) The Secretary, in consultation with the Chair of the United States International Trade Commission and the Commissioner of CBP, shall determine the modifications necessary to the HTSUS to effectuate this proclamation and shall make such modifications to the HTSUS through notice in the Federal Register. (17) To the extent consistent with applicable law and the purpose of this proclamation; Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10908, as amended, the Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security are directed and authorized to take all actions that are appropriate to implement and effectuate this proclamation and any actions contemplated by this proclamation; Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10908, as amended, including, consistent with applicable law, the issuance of regulations, rules, guidance, and procedures and the temporary suspension or amendment of regulations, within their respective jurisdictions, and to employ all powers granted to the President under section 232. The Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security may, consistent with applicable law, including 3 U.S.C. 301, redelegate any of these functions within their respective departments. All executive departments and agencies shall take all appropriate measures to implement and effectuate this proclamation and Proclamation 10908, as amended. (18) The Secretary may issue regulations and guidance consistent with this proclamation, including to address operational necessity. (19) CBP may take any necessary or appropriate measures to administer the tariffs imposed by this proclamation. (20) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. If any provision of this proclamation or the application of any provision to any individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the remainder of this proclamation and the application of its provisions to any other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
