## Abstract

Through this final rule, the Economic Development Administration ("EDA"), U.S. Department of Commerce, eliminates the regulations implementing the Community Trade Adjustment Assistance ("CTAA") Program. Established in 2009 under the Trade Act of 1974, the CTAA Program was subsequently eliminated by Congress in 2011. Implementing regulations for this now-defunct Program are thus unnecessary. This final rule is a "deregulatory action" pursuant to the April 5, 2017, Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") guidance memorandum implementing Executive Order 13771.
