Export Enhancement Act of 1992

The Export Enhancement Act of 1992 required the Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee (TPCC) to issue by September 30, 1993, and annually
thereafter, a report containing "a governmentwide strategic plan for
Federal trade promotion efforts" and describing its implementation. The
legislation requires the TPCC to establish in the strategic plan priorities
for federal trade promotion and explain the rationale for these priorities.
The act also requires the TPCC to include in the plan a strategy for
bringing federal trade promotion activities into line with the new
priorities and for improving their coordination. The TPCC is also required
to propose in the plan a means for eliminating overlap among federal trade
promotion activities and increasing cooperation between state and federal
trade promotion efforts. The act requires that the TPCC include in the
strategic plan a proposal to the President for an annual unified budget for
federal trade promotion activities. This budget is to: (a) reflect the
new priorities and improved interagency coordination and (b) eliminate
funding for areas of overlap and duplication among federal agencies.
