The U.S. Department of Commerce is postponing the start date of the "Aluminum Import Monitoring and Analysis System" from January 25, 2021, to March 29, 2021. This delay allows for the new Administration to review the final rule and gather more public comments before implementing it. Despite the system being operational online, licenses for aluminum imports will not be required until after the new effective date. The Department is inviting public comments on the rule through the Federal eRulemaking Portal until February 26, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce is pushing back the start of new rules for watching aluminum imports until the end of March, so the new leaders can take a closer look and listen to what people think about it first, and no one needs special import licenses until then.
