The Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act directs the United States International Trade Commission to investigate whether exporting aluminum scrap to countries considered national security threats poses risks to the United States. The investigation will examine both direct exports of aluminum scrap to Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as aluminum scrap made available to companies controlled by these countries, even if not directly exported. The commission must submit its findings and recommendations to Congress within 180 days of the bill becoming law. The commission is also required to consult with American aluminum producers, recycling companies, and labor unions as part of the investigation. This legislation affects aluminum exporters, recyclers, and producers who may face new restrictions on where they can sell their scrap materials.
