SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Section 206 of the 

Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) 

(19 U.S.C. 3204) requires that the 

Commission submit biennial reports to 

the Congress and the President 

regarding the economic impact of the 

Act on U.S. industries and consumers 

and, in conjunction with other agencies, 

the effectiveness of the Act in promoting 

drug-related crop eradication and crop 

substitution efforts of the beneficiary 

countries. Section 206(b) of the Act 

requires that each report include: 

(1) The actual effect of ATPA on the 

U.S. economy generally as well as on 

specific domestic industries which 

produce articles that are like, or directly 

competitive with, articles being 

imported under the Act from beneficiary 

countries; 

(2) The probable future effect that 

ATPA will have on the U.S. economy 

generally and on such domestic 

industries; and 

(3) The estimated effect that ATPA 

has had on drug-related crop eradication 

and crop substitution efforts of 

beneficiary countries. 

Under the statute the Commission is 

required to prepare this report 

regardless of whether preferential 

treatment was provided during the 

period covered by the report. The 

President’s authority to provide 

preferential treatment under ATPA 

expired on July 31, 2013. During the 

period to be covered by this report, 

calendar years 2016 and 2017, no 

imports entering the United States 

should have received preferential 

treatment under the ATPA program. 

The Commission will submit its 

report by September 30, 2018. The 

initial notice announcing institution of 

this investigation for the purpose of 

preparing these reports was published 

in the Federal Register of March 10, 

1994 (59 FR 11308). Notice providing 

opportunity to file written submissions 

in connection with the seventeenth 

report was published in the Federal 

Register of August 23, 2016 (81 FR
