 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Fair Trade and Export Expansion Act of 1991 - Amends the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to revive the authority (which had expired in 1990) of the U.S. Trade Representative to identify, negotiate with, and report to the Congress on priority foreign countries whose trade practices adversely affect U.S. exports. Extends such authority from 1992 through 1995.

Requires the Secretary of Commerce, upon submission to the Congress of the report identifying priority foreign barriers to U.S. goods and services, to submit to the Congress a supplemental report identifying the trade value of the barriers and identifying those countries and practices that account for more than five percent of the annual U.S. trade deficit.
