Main Street Foundation Center for Regulatory Analysis and Engagement. 7/21/26.

Summary: The Main Street Foundation's Center for Regulatory Analysis and Engagement (CRAE) submits a detailed memorandum urging the Department of Commerce to conduct a precise, evidence-based investigation into the national-security effects of anthracite and metallurgical bituminous coal imports. They argue that Commerce must distinguish between different types of coal, account for the interconnectedness of domestic production, imports, and exports, and evaluate the potential negative downstream effects on steelmakers and manufacturers before implementing any restrictions.
