                        On January 2, 2009, the Commission published a notice in the                         **Federal Register**                         (74 FR 119) announcing that it had instituted investigation No. 332-505,                         *Use of the “First Sale Rule” for Customs Valuation of U.S. Imports,*                         for the purpose of preparing the report required by section 15422(c)(1) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub.

Section 15422(b) of the 2008 Act requires that CBP provide monthly reports to the Commission. The 2008 Act requires the Commission to submit its report 90 days after receipt of the final monthly report from CBP. On September 25, 2009, the Commission received the final monthly report from CBP and will transmit its report to the Committees on December 23, 2009. The Commission anticipates that the report it sends to the Committees in this investigation will be made available to the public in its entirety.
