Background: As requested by the 

USTR, the Commission will conduct an 

investigation and prepare a report that 

summarizes recent developments 

relating to trade facilitation in the East 

African Community (EAC). The report 

will also describe the potential benefits 

of trade facilitation in the EAC 

countries, based on empirical studies 

and the experiences of other developing 

countries. As requested, the information 

in the report will be based principally 

on a review of the literature, and, to the 

extent the literature permits, include the 

following: 

• A description of the present 

conditions and recent developments 

relating to the movement of goods to 

and from the countries of the EAC, 

including policies enforced at the 

border and procedures for their 

enforcement, as well as transport 

infrastructure. To the extent feasible, the 

report will address elements referenced 

in U.S. trade facilitation agreements, 

such as those between the United States 

and the Philippines, the United States 

and Uruguay, and trade facilitation 

chapters in U.S. free trade agreements. 

The description will focus on 

conditions in individual EAC countries 

as well as the EAC region as a whole. 

• A summary of findings from the 

empirical literature on the benefits of 

overall trade facilitation improvements, 

such as effects on import and export 

volumes, export diversification, and 

economic development, including 

highlights of any notable findings 

specific to the EAC countries. 

• Relevant sectoral case studies 

(particularly for industries where EAC 

countries have significant AGOA 

exports) from developing countries 

within and outside sub-Saharan Africa 

that illustrate the benefits of trade 

facilitation. 

The USTR asked that the Commission 

provide its report no later than July 2, 

2012. 

Written Submissions: Because of the 

short time frame requested by the USTR, 

the Commission will not hold a public 

hearing in connection with this 

investigation. However, interested 

parties are invited to file written 

submissions concerning this 

investigation. All written submissions 

should be addressed to the Secretary, 

and should be received no later than 

5:15 p.m., May 10, 2012. All written 

submissions must conform to the 

provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8 

and the Commission’s Handbook on 

Filing Procedures require that interested 

parties file documents electronically on 

or before the filing deadline and submit 

eight (8) true paper copies by 12 noon 

eastern time on the next business day. 

In the event that confidential treatment 

of a document is requested, interested 

parties must file, at the same time as the 

eight paper copies, at least four (4) 

additional true paper copies in which 

the confidential information must be 

deleted (see the following paragraph for 

further information regarding 

confidential business information). 

Persons with questions regarding 

electronic filing should contact the 

Secretary (202–205–2595). 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information (CBI) 

must also conform to the requirements 

of section 201.6 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

version, and that the confidential 

business information be clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available for inspection by 

interested parties. 

In his request letter the USTR said 

that he anticipates that the 

Commission’s report will be made 

available to the public in its entirety, 

and asked that the Commission not 

include any confidential business 

information in the report it sends him. 

Accordingly, any confidential business 

information received by the 

Commission in this investigation and 

used in preparing this report will not be 

included in the report that the 

Commission sends to the USTR and will 

not be published in a manner that 

would reveal the operations of the firm 

supplying the information. 

By order of the Commission.
