Plain-language summary
Waives the application of subsections (a) and (b) of section 402 of the Trade Act of 1974 with respect to Turkmenistan.

Acting under authority in the Trade Act allowing such waivers after reporting to Congress, the order states that this report was made and applies the waiver specifically to Turkmenistan, allowing continued trade relations with that country despite the usual restriction.
