Background

The initial notice of institution of this

investigation was published in the

Federal Register of September 8, 1993

(58 FR 47287). The Commission

expanded the scope of this investigation

to cover service trade in a separate

report, which it announced in a notice

published in the Federal Register of

December 28, 1994 (59 FR 66974). The

merchandise trade report has been

published in the current series under

investigation No. 332–345 annually

since September 1993. The report,

originally entitled ‘‘U.S. Trade Shifts in

Selected Commodity Areas, 1992

Annual Report,’’ has been changed to

‘‘Shifts in U.S. Merchandise Trade in

1997’’ to more concisely identify the

contents of the report.

As in past years, each report will

summarize and provide analyses of the

major trade developments that occurred

in the preceding year, and is expected

to be published in July of each year. The

reports will also provide summary trade

information and basic statistical profiles

of nearly 300 industry/commodity

groups.

No public hearing is planned.

However, interested persons are invited

to submit written comments concerning

the July 1998 report. Commercial or

financial information which a submitter

desires the Commission to treat as

the Secretary of the Commission for

inspection by interested persons. To be

assured of consideration by the

Commission, written statements relating

to the Commission’s report should be
