Last week the Office of the Clerk announced a new general issue code category, “TAR – Tariff (Miscellaneous Tariff Bills).” 

Filers should use this general issue area code in the same way as other general issue area codes. For example, filers should use the issue code TAR to report lobbying activity related to tariff issues such as miscellaneous tariff issues. For any other trade-related issues, filers should use the TRD code. In particular, if a registrant lobbies on miscellaneous tariff issues, the registrant should use the updated form.
