Removing Regulations Related to Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms

Document 2026-11800 is a Final Rule published by the Department of Commerce in the Federal Register on June 11, 2026, with an effective date of September 30, 2028. By this rule, EDA removes its regulations pertaining to trade adjustment assistance for firms, effective September 30, 2028. The removal of these regulations is ultimately necessary to reflect both the lapse of the underlying statutory authorization as well as the inactive status of this assistance program, and to ensure that EDA's body of regulations remains accurate and up-to-date. This action is intended to eliminate outdated regulatory language, and thereby reduce the possibility of confusion, without altering any substantive obligation or entitlement.
