In comments filed Friday to the U.S. Department of Commerce, NADA made it clear that America’s automobile dealerships are not seeking the imposition of new tariffs or quotas on the automobiles or parts they sell or on the parts they are made of. In fact, the legitimate fear is that any new tariffs or quotas will result in higher vehicle prices and reduced choice for the American automobile buying public.

NADA fully appreciates the Administration’s trade goals, including enhancing the domestic production, sale, and export of goods and services, including automobiles and automotive parts; curbing unfair foreign trade practices involving automobiles and automotive parts and an array of unrelated goods and services; and reducing America’s trade deficits and fostering additional domestic jobs for Americans. But the best tools for achieving the goal of enhanced exports do not include the imposition of tariffs or quotas on imports. Instead, broad-based tariffs will result in significant negative impacts on NADA’s 100% American automobile dealers and the American working families and American businesses who buy automobiles and automotive parts from them. These impacts include higher prices, and a reduction in the number, or even the elimination of, imported vehicle models, thereby reducing competition and customer choice, and ultimately depressing demand.

“The president is rightfully concerned about trade imbalances and manufacturing jobs in the United States,” said NADA President and CEO Peter Welch. “But automobile production today is so deeply integrated across international boundaries that virtually all cars and trucks, domestic and international, have foreign components even if they are assembled in the United States. And a tariff, depending on how it is implemented, could raise prices dramatically for customers and threaten auto industry jobs at home. We look forward to working with the Administration to find solutions that don’t dramatically increase prices or limit choices for our customers.”

Updated FMLA Forms Based on requirements for the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Department of Labor sends their FMLA forms to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) every three years for an audit. The OMB is filing 30-day extensions for these FMLA updates and we could see more in the coming months as they continue their review.

Next Steps: Ensure you perform updates to your files for these forms and stay tuned for more updates from the OMB after June 30, 2018.
