Summary

Trade and Environment Reporting Act of 1994 - Requires the United States Trade Representative (USTR), before entering into negotiations for any free trade agreement or other major trade actions, to consult with the Congress, appropriate advisory committees, including the Trade and Environment Policy Advisory Committee, Federal agencies, environmental organizations, and other interested persons, for the purpose of: (1) identifying environmental resources that may be affected by such agreements or actions; and (2) determining the scope of a specified environmental assessment in the case of a negotiation for a free trade agreement. Directs the USTR to: (1) consider the results of such consultations with respect to a major trade action before formulating any negotiating position for such action; and (2) review such negotiating position and determine its compatibility with U.S. laws that protect environmental resources or encourage sustainable development. Directs the Council on Environmental Quality, the Secretary of the Interior, the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the USTR to monitor the effects of major trade actions on environmental resources within the United States. Requires such agencies and officials and the Secretary of State to cooperate with other nations to monitor and determine the effects of such actions on such resources outside of the United States. Requires the Council to report every three years to the Congress on the results of such monitoring.
