I don't know what this is, but ordinary American Catholic Church most certainly is under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church. Several American cardinals are serving in Rome currently...

There is an American Catholic Church denomination, and Roman Catholic churches here in the USA - two completely separate things. Certainly the Roman Catholic churches are under the jurisdiction of the Vatican, but they are still Roman Catholic, not American Catholic.
