2007 Annual GSP Review 

The GSP regulations (15 CFR part 

2007) provide the timetable for 

conducting an annual review, unless 

otherwise specified by Federal Register 

notice. Notice is hereby given that, in 

order to be considered in the 2007 

Annual GSP Product and Country 

Eligibility Practices Review, all petitions 

to modify the list of articles eligible for 

duty-free treatment under GSP or to 

review the GSP status of any beneficiary 

developing country, with the exception 

of petitions requesting CNL waivers, 

must be received by the GSP 

Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee no later than 5 p.m. on June 

22, 2007. Petitions requesting CNL 

waivers must be received by the GSP 

Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee no later than 5 p.m. on 

November 16, 2007 in order to be 

considered in the 2007 Annual Review. 

Petitions submitted after the respective 

deadlines will not be considered for 

review. 

Interested parties, including foreign 

governments, may submit petitions to: 

(1) Designate additional articles as 

eligible for GSP benefits, including to 

designate articles as eligible for GSP 

benefits only for countries designated as 

least-developed beneficiary developing 

countries, or only for countries 

designated as beneficiary sub-Saharan 

African countries under the African 

Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA); 

(2) withdraw, suspend or limit the 

application of duty-free treatment 

accorded under the GSP with respect to 

any article, either for all beneficiary 

developing countries, least-developed 

beneficiary developing countries or 

beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries, or for any of these countries 

individually; (3) waive the ‘‘competitive 

need limitations’’ for individual 

beneficiary developing countries with 

respect to specific GSP-eligible articles 

(these limits do not apply to either leastdeveloped beneficiary developing 

countries or AGOA beneficiary subSaharan African countries); and (4) 

otherwise modify GSP coverage. 

As specified in 15 CFR 2007.1, all 

product petitions must include a 

detailed description of the product and 

the subheading of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under which the product is classified. 

Further, product petitions requesting 

CNL waivers for GSP-eligible articles 

from beneficiary developing countries 

that exceed the CNLs in 2007 must be 

filed in the 2007 Annual Review. In 

order to allow petitioners an 

opportunity to review additional 2007 

U.S. import statistics, these petitions 

may be filed after June 22, 2007, but 

must be received on or before the 

November 16, 2007, deadline described 

above in order to be considered in the 

2007 Annual Review. Copies will be 

made available for public inspection 

after the November 16, 2007, deadline. 

Any person may also submit petitions 

to review the designation of any 

beneficiary developing country, 

including any least-developed 

beneficiary developing country, with 

respect to any of the designation criteria 

listed in sections 502(b) or 502(c) of the 

Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(b) and (c)) 

(petitions to review the designation of 

beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries are considered in the Annual 

Review of the AGOA, a separate 

administrative process not governed by 

the GSP regulations). Such petitions 

must comply with the requirements of 

15 CFR 2007.0(b).

the GSP regulations set forth at 15 CFR

Sunshine Act, Pub. L. 94–409, that the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

will hold the following meetings during 

the week of May 21, 2007: 

Open Meetings will be held on 

Wednesday, May 23, 2007 at 9 a.m., 

Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 9 a.m. and 

Friday, May 25, 2007 at 9 a.m., in the

Commissioners, Counsel to the 

Commissioners, the Secretary to the 

Commission, and recording secretaries 

will attend the Closed Meeting. Certain 

staff members who have an interest in 

the matters may also be present. 

The General Counsel of the 

Commission, or his designee, has 

certified that, in his opinion, one or 

more of the exemptions set forth in 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(3), (4), (5), (7), (8), (9)(B), 

and (10) and 17 CFR 200.402(a)(3), (4),

closed meeting in closed session. 

The subject matter of the Open 

Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 

23, 2007 at 9 a.m. will be: 

1. The Commission will consider 

whether to adopt interpretive guidance 

for management regarding its evaluation 

and assessment of internal control over 

financial reporting. The Commission 

will also consider whether to adopt 

amendments to Exchange Act Rules 

13a–15(c) and 15d–15(c) that would 

make it clear that an evaluation that 

complies with the Commission’s 

interpretive guidance would satisfy the 

annual management evaluation required 

by those rules. In addition, the 

Commission will consider whether to 

adopt amendments to Rules 1–02(a)(2) 

and 2–02(f) of Regulation S–X to require 

the expression of a single opinion 

directly on the effectiveness of internal 

control over financial reporting by the 

auditor in its attestation report. Finally,

to adopt amendments to Exchange Act 

Rule 12b–2 and Rule 1–02 of Regulation

for smaller companies, as well as private 

offerings of securities, including 

whether: 

• To propose amendments to increase 

the number of companies eligible for the 

scaled disclosure and reporting 

requirements for smaller reporting 

companies; 

• To propose amendments to expand 

the eligibility requirements of Form S– 

3 and Form F–3 to permit registration of 

primary offerings by companies with a 

public float of less than $75 million, 

subject to restrictions on the amount of 

securities sold in any one-year period; 

• To propose exemptions from the 

registration requirements of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for 

grants of compensatory employee stock

securities to a newly defined subset of

propose revisions to the Regulation D
