This bill establishes an independent Inspector General for the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). It achieves this by amending title 5, United States Code , to explicitly include USTR within the framework of agencies subject to an Inspector General, thereby extending the reach of federal oversight to this critical trade policy office. The legislation mandates that the President appoint an Inspector General for USTR within 120 days of the Act's enactment. This new position is intended to provide crucial oversight, promote efficiency, and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse within USTR's administration of trade agreements and international trade policy, ensuring greater accountability.
