BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Request for Public Comment With 

Respect to the Annual National Trade 

Estimate Report on Foreign Trade 

Barriers 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 303 of the 

Trade and Tariff Act of 1984, as 

amended, USTR is required to publish 

annually the National Trade Estimate 

Report on Foreign Trade Barriers (NTE). 

With this notice, the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee (TPSC) is requesting 

interested parties to assist it in 

identifying significant barriers to U.S. 

exports of goods, services and overseas 

direct investment for inclusion in the 

NTE. Particularly important are 

impediments materially affecting the 

actual and potential financial 

performance of an industry sector. The 

TPSC invites written comments that 

provide views relevant to the issues to 

be examined in preparing the NTE. 

DATES: Public comments are due not 

later than Thursday, November 8, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submissions by electronic 

mail: FR0717@USTR.EOP.GOV. 

Submissions by facsimile: Gloria Blue, 

Executive Secretary, Trade Policy Staff 

Committee, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative (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: 

Questions regarding the report, its 

subject matter or procedural questions 

concerning submissions should be 

directed to Ms. Gloria Blue, Office of 

Policy Coordination, Office of the 

United States Trade Representative 

(202–395–3475). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Last year’s 

report may be found on USTR’s Internet 

Home Page (www.ustr.gov) in the 

Document Library under the section on 

Reports. In order to ensure compliance 

with the statutory mandate for reporting 

foreign trade barriers that are 

significant, we will focus particularly on 

those restrictions where there has been 

active private sector interest. 

The information submitted should 

relate to one or more of the following 

ten categories of foreign trade barriers: 

(1) Import policies (e.g., tariffs and 

other import charges, quantitative 

restrictions, import licensing, and 

customs barriers); 

(2) standards, testing, labeling, and 

certification (including unnecessarily 

restrictive application of phytosanitary 

standards, refusal to accept U.S. 

manufacturers’ self-certification of 

conformance to foreign product 

standards, and environmental 

restrictions); 

(3) government procurement (e.g., 

‘‘buy national’’ policies and closed 

bidding); 

(4) export subsidies (e.g., export 

financing on preferential terms and 

agricultural export subsidies that 

displace U.S. exports in third country 

markets); 

(5) lack of intellectual property 

protection (e.g., inadequate patent, 

copyright, and trademark regimes); 

(6) services barriers (e.g., limits on the 

range of financial services offered by 

foreign financial institutions, regulation 

of international data flows, restrictions 

on the use of data processing, quotas on 

imports of foreign films, and barriers to 

the provision of services by 

professionals (e.g., lawyers, doctors, 

accountants, engineers, nurses, etc.)); 

(7) investment barriers (e.g., 

limitations on foreign equity 

participation and on access to foreign 

government-funded R&D consortia, local 

content, technology transfer and export 

performance requirements, and 

restrictions on repatriation of earnings, 

capital, fees and royalties); 

(8) anticompetitive practices with 

trade effects tolerated by foreign 

governments (including anticompetitive 

activities of both state-owned and 

private firms that apply to services or to 

goods and that restrict the sale of U.S. 

products to any firm, not just to foreign 

firms, that perpetuate the practices); 

(9) trade restrictions affecting 

electronic commerce (e.g., tariff and 

non-tariff measures, burdensome and 

discriminatory regulations and 

standards, and discriminatory taxation); 

and 

(10) other barriers (i.e., barriers that 

encompass more than one category, e.g, 

bribery and corruption, or that affect a 

single sector). 

As in the case of last year’s NTE, we 

are asking that particular emphasis be 

placed on any practices that may violate 

U.S. trade agreements. We are also 

interested in receiving any new or 

updated information pertinent to the 

barriers covered in last year’s report as 

well as new information. Please note 

that the information not used in the 

NTE will be maintained for use in future 

negotiations. 

It is most important that your 

submission contain estimates of the 

potential increase in exports that would 

result from the removal of the barrier, as 

well as a clear discussion of the 

method(s) by which the estimates were 

computed. Estimates should fall within 

the following value ranges: Less than $5 

million; $5 to $25 million; $25 million 

to $50 million; $50 million to $100 

million; $100 million to $500 million; or 

over $500 million. Such assessments 

enhance USTR’s ability to conduct 

meaningful comparative analyses of a 

barrier’s effect over a range of 

industries. 

Please note that interested parties 

discussing barriers in more than one 

country should, whenever possible, 

provide a separate submission (i.e., one 

that is self-contained) for each country 

with the country indicated in the 

subject line of each submission. If 

separate, country-specific submissions 

are not feasible, please identify all 

countries covered by a submission in 

the subject line of that submission. 

Requirements for Submissions: In 

order to facilitate prompt processing of 

submissions, USTR strongly urges and 

prefers electronic (e-mail) submissions 

in response to this notice. In the event 

an e-mail submission is impossible, 

submissions should be made by 

facsimile. Facsimile submissions should 

not exceed a maximum of 20 pages. 

E-mail submissions should be single 

copy transmissions in English. 

Submissions should use the following 

subject line: ‘‘2008 National Trade 

Estimate Report—Submission by (sector, 

company, association) Documents must 

be submitted as either WordPerfect 

(‘‘WPD’’), MSWord (’’DOC’’), or text 

(‘‘TXT’’) file. Documents should not be 

submitted as electronic image files or 

contain imbedded images (for example, 

‘‘JPG’’, ‘‘PDF’’ ‘‘BMP’’, or ‘‘GIF’’), as 

these type of files are generally 

excessively large. Supporting 

Documentation submitted as 

spreadsheets are acceptable as Quattro 

Pro or Excel, pre-formatted for printing 

on 81⁄2 x 11 inch paper. To the extent 

possible, any data attachments to the 

submission should be included in the 

same file as the submission itself, and 

not as separate files.
