BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Trade Policy Staff Committee: Seeking 

Comments From the Public on the 

2005 WTO Ministerial Decision on 

Duty-Free Quota-Free Market Access 

for the Least Developed Countries 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Trade Policy Staff 

Committee (TPSC) is requesting the 

public to submit written comments on 

considerations relating to the Decision 

that Members adopted at the Sixth 

Ministerial Conference of the World 

Trade Organization (WTO) in December 

2005 on duty-free, quota-free (DFQF) 

market access for the least-developed 

countries (LDCs). The TPSC is seeking 

comments from the public on to the full 

range of issues that may affect 

implementation of this Decision. 

DATES: Comments are due by March 15, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submissions by electronic 

mail: FR0704@USTR.EOP.GOV. 

Submissions by facsimile: Gloria Blue, 

Executive Secretary, Trade Policy Staff 

Committee, at (202) 395-6143. The 

public is strongly encouraged to submit 

documents electronically rather than by 

facsimile. (See requirements for 

submissions below.) 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

General inquiries should be made to the 

USTR Office of WTO and Multilateral 

Affairs at (202) 395–6843; calls on 

individual subjects will be transferred 

as appropriate. Procedural inquiries 

concerning the public comment process 

should be directed to Gloria Blue, 

Executive Secretary, Trade Policy Staff 

Committee, Office of the U.S. Trade 

Representative (USTR), (202) 395–3475. 

Further information on the WTO, 

including the declarations, decisions 

referred to in this notice, can be 

obtained via the Internet at the WTO 

Web site, http://www.wto.org, and/or 

the USTR Web site, http://www.ustr.gov. 

The 2005 President’s Annual Report on 

the Trade Agreements Program, which 

is available on the USTR Web site, 

contains extensive information on the 

WTO, the Sixth WTO Ministerial 

Conference in Hong Kong, China, and 

the status of work in the WTO. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Duty-Free Quota-Free Market Access: 

The TPSC calls attention to the decision 

adopted at the Sixth Ministerial 

Conference of the WTO in December 

2005 on duty-free, quota-free (DFQF) 

market access for LDCs. The DFQF 

decision is contained in Annex F of the 

Ministerial Declaration, which can be 

found at http://www.wto.org with the 

document symbol ‘‘WT/MIN(05)/DEC’’. 

Ministers agreed that WTO Members 

would implement the DFQF initiative 

coincident with the implementation of 

the results of the negotiations under the 

Doha Development Agenda (DDA). On a 

voluntary basis, WTO Members may 

also implement sooner. 

Implementation of the DFQF by 

relevant WTO Members is subject to 

review by Members through the WTO 

Committee on Trade and Development 

(CTD). On May 15, 2006, the United 

States submitted a paper to the CTD, 

‘‘Duty-Free, Quota-Free Market Access 

for the Least-Developed Countries: 

Communication from the United 

States’’. This paper can be found at 

http://www.wto.org with the document 

symbol ‘‘WT/COMTD/W/149’’. The 

paper summarizes the U.S. legal and 

consultative process for implementing 

the DFQF decision, and outlines certain 

factors and related obligations affecting 

implementation. The TPSC recognizes

that some factors related to 

implementation of DFQF can only be 

determined once certain results are 

obtained in the overall DDA 

negotiations. At this time, however, as 

part of consultative process, the TPSC is 

seeking comments from the public 

addressing the range of issues that may 

affect implementation in order to inform 

the planning process. The TPSC may 

seek further public comments on 

specific issues related to 

implementation of DFQF at a later time. 

The U.S. International Trade 

Commission has provided to the TPSC 

the comments received from the public 

on agricultural and non-agricultural 

products as part of its investigation No. 

332–440, Probable Economic Effects on 

Reduction or Elimination of U.S. Tariffs, 

August 9, 2002 (Confidential Report). 

Hence, these comments need not be 

resubmitted. 

Written Submissions: Comments 

should state clearly the issue identified 

and should contain detailed information 

explaining why it is an issue and, to the 

extent possible, the means to address 

the issue. The provision of 

supplemental technical information is 

optional. This information should be 

provided in an attachment containing a 

spreadsheet or table in Microsoft Word, 

Word Perfect, Excel, Quatro Pro or MS 

Access. 

Persons submitting comments may 

either send one copy by fax to Gloria 

Blue, Executive Secretary, Trade Policy 

Staff Committee, at (202) 395–6143 or 

transmit a copy electronically to 

FR0704@USTR.EOP.GOV, with ‘‘DutyFree, Quota-Free’’ in the subject line. 

For documents sent by fax, USTR 

requests that the submitter provide a 

confirmation copy electronically. The 

public is strongly encouraged to submit 

documents electronically rather than by 

facsimile. USTR encourages the use of 

Adobe PDF format to submit 

attachments to an electronic mail. 

Interested persons who make 

submissions by electronic mail should 

not provide separate cover letters; 

information that might appear in a cover 

letter should be included in the 

submission itself. Similarly, to the 

extent possible, any attachments to the 

submission should be included in the 

same file as the submission itself, and 

not as separate files. 

Comments should be submitted 

electronically no later than March 15, 

2007. 

Business confidential information 

will be subject to the requirements of 15 

CFR 2003.6. Any business confidential 

material must be clearly marked as such 

and must be accompanied by a nonconfidential summary thereof. A 

justification as to why the information 

contained in the submission should be 

treated confidentially should also be 

contained in the submission. In 

addition, any submissions containing 

business confidential information must 

clearly be marked ‘‘Business 

Confidential’’ at the top and bottom of 

the cover page (or letter) and each 

succeeding page of the submission. The 

version that does not contain business 

confidential information should also be 

clearly marked at the top and bottom of 

each page, ‘‘Public Version’’ or ‘‘NonConfidential.’’

Written comments submitted in 

connection with this request, except for 

information granted ‘‘business 

confidential’’ status pursuant to 15 CFR 

2003.6 will be available for public 

inspection in the USTR Reading Room, 

Office of the United States Trade 

Representative. An appointment to 

review the file can be made by calling 

(202) 395–6186. The Reading Room is 

open to the public from 10 a.m. to 12 

noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday 

through Friday. 

Dated: January 10, 2007.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–55081; File No. SR–CBOE–

2007–02] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

Chicago Board Options Exchange, 

Incorporated; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend Its Rule 

Pertaining to Accommodation 

Liquidations (Cabinet Trades) 

January 10, 2007. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on January 8, 

2007, the Chicago Board Options 

Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘Exchange’’ or 

‘‘CBOE’’) filed with the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

the proposed rule change as described 

in Items I and II below, which Items 

have been substantially prepared by the 

Exchange. The Exchange has designated 

this proposal as non-controversial under 

Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder,4 which 

renders the proposed rule change 

effective upon filing with the 

Commission. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

provisions in CBOE Rule 6.54 pertaining 

to accommodation liquidations (also 

referred to as ‘‘cabinet trades’’) to 

provide that a Market-Maker may 

initiate a cabinet trade without the need 

to place an order with an Order Book 

Official (‘‘OBO’’) or a Floor Broker. The 

Exchange is also proposing to make 

clear in the rule that a Floor Broker or 

a Market-Maker can enter into an 

opening or closing cabinet transaction, 

but must yield priority to all orders in 

the cabinet book. The text of the 

proposed rule change is available at 

CBOE, the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room, and http:// 

www.cboe.com. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

An ‘‘accommodation’’ or ‘‘cabinet’’

trade refers to trades in listed options on 

the Exchange that are worthless or not 

actively traded. Cabinet trading is 

generally conducted in accordance with 

Exchange Rules; Exchange Rule 6.54, 

Accommodation Liquidations (Cabinet 

Trades), sets forth specific procedures 

for engaging in cabinet trades. Rule 6.54 

currently provides for cabinet 

transactions to occur via open outcry at 

a cabinet price of a $1 per option 

contract whether or not the class trades 

on the Exchange’s Hybrid Trading 

System.
