Section 207 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 ( 22 U.S.C. 3927 ) is amended by adding at the end the following new section: The chief of mission shall have responsibility for coordinating and supervising the implementation of all United States trade-related and trade capacity assistance among all United States Government departments and agencies present in that country (except for assistance under the control of a United States area military commander). Consistent with the purposes of the Global Gateways Trade Capacity Act of 2014 and except as provided in paragraph (4), no funds appropriated or otherwise made available to any department or agency of the United States Government for trade capacity building assistance, as defined by section 3 of such Act, may be spent outside the United States without authorization from the relevant chief of mission (except for assistance under the control of a United States area military commander).
The chief of mission may delegate express authorization under this subsection to senior mission staff, as appropriate and necessary, to achieve the purposes of the Global Gateways Trade Capacity Act of 2015 . The chief of mission is authorized to set a de minimis level, not to exceed $25,000, for expenditures not requiring the approval of the chief of mission. The chief of mission shall form a trade capacity mission team made up of appropriate embassy staff with responsibility for developing— a country trade capacity building assistance survey of local country barriers to trade and investment; and recommendations for prioritizing and coordinating effective use of trade capacity assistance within that country. .
