Establishment of the Interagency Labor Committee for Monitoring and Enforcement Under Section 711 of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act

Executive Order 13918 establishes the Interagency Labor Committee for Monitoring and Enforcement to coordinate U.S. efforts to monitor and enforce the labor obligations under the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) Implementation Act. The committee is tasked with tracking Canada and Mexico’s compliance with labor commitments, monitoring Mexico’s labor reform, and recommending enforcement actions under the Act. It creates a formal interagency framework to organize and streamline U.S. government action on cross-border labor standards, with an emphasis on consensus-based decision making. The order designates a multi-agency leadership and membership, outlines how decisions are made, and assigns funding responsibilities. It also clarifies that the order does not alter existing authorities or rights, and that implementation depends on applicable law and appropriations. A hotline funded by the Labor Department under the Act is part of the enforcement toolkit.
