To require the United States International Trade Commission to investigate national security concerns regarding the exportation of aluminum scrap to countries of concern, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the United States International Trade Commission to investigate and report on national security risks related to exports of aluminum scrap to countries designated as concerns—specifically Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. The investigation must also examine aluminum scrap that becomes available to entities controlled by these countries, even if not directly exported. The Commission must submit its findings and recommendations to Congress within 180 days of the bill's enactment. In conducting the investigation, the Commission must consult with stakeholders including domestic aluminum producers, metal recyclers, and labor organizations. Aluminum scrap is defined as recycled or discarded materials primarily containing or derived from aluminum.
