COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 332–579] 

Lobsters: Effects of the Canada-EU 

Trade Agreement on the U.S. Industry 

Termination of Investigation 

AGENCY: United States International 

Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of termination of 

investigation. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to a letter from the 

U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) 

received on December 23, 2020, 

withdrawing his request of July 29, 2020 

that the Commission conduct an 

investigation and prepare a report that 

details any negative effects of the 

Comprehensive Economic and Trade 

Agreement between Canada and the 

European Union on the United States 

lobster industry, the Commission has 

terminated Investigation No. 332–579: 

Lobsters: Effects of the Canada-EU 

Trade Agreement on the U.S. Industry, 

and will not release a report. 

The USTR requested the investigation 

and report under authority delegated by 

the President and pursuant to section 

332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930. In his 

letter withdrawing the request, the 

USTR stated that the European Union’s 

recent removal of tariffs on imported 

lobsters eliminated the need for a report 

analyzing any disadvantages to the U.S. 

lobster industry caused by the prior 

agreement between Canada and the 

European Union. 

DATES:

July 29, 2020: Receipt of request for 

the investigation. 

October 1, 2020: Public hearing. 

December 23, 2020: Receipt of request 

to terminate the investigation.
