INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation 332–343]

Annual Statistical Report on U.S.

Imports of Textiles and Apparel

AGENCY: United States International

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Discontinuation of reports and

termination of investigation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 26, 1998.

SUMMARY: In June 1993, the Commission

initiated investigation No. 332–343 for

the purpose of compiling and

publishing three annual statistical

reports on U.S. imports of textiles and

apparel covered by the Multifiber

Arrangement (MFA). Pursuant to this

investigation, the notice of which was

published in the Federal Register of

June 23, 1993 (58 F.R. 34064), the

Commission published annual reports

on U.S. imports of textiles and apparel

for the years 1992, 1993, and 1994. In

July 1996, after receiving numerous

requests from the public for the report,

the Commission decided to continue

publishing the reports for three

additional years, the notice of which

was published in the Federal Register of

July 24, 1996 (61 F.R. 38472), after

which it would review the question of

whether to continue issuing such

reports. The Commission published the

last of these reports in April 1998.

The Commission has decided to

discontinue this series of reports and to

terminate the investigation. The import

data published by the Commission in

these reports are now readily available

on the Internet server of the U.S.

Department of Commerce, Office of

Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA), at http:/

/otexa.ita.doc.gov. OTEXA also provides

the data on CD-ROMs, which are

prepared on a monthly basis. For

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 332–350 and 332–351]

Monitoring of U.S. Imports of

Tomatoes; Monitoring of U.S. Imports

of Peppers

AGENCY: United States International

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Publication of monitoring

reports in 1998.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 22, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

general information, Timothy McCarty

(202–205–3324) or Lowell Grant (202–

205–3312), Agricultural and Forest

Products Division, Office of Industries,

or for information on legal aspects,

William Gearhart (202–205–3091),

Office of the General Counsel, U.S.

International Trade Commission.

Background

Section 316 of the North American

Free-Trade Agreement Implementation

Act (NAFTA Implementation Act), 19

U.S.C. 3381, directs the Commission to

monitor imports of fresh or chilled

tomatoes (HTS heading 0702.00) and

fresh or chilled peppers, other than chili

peppers (HTS subheading 0709.60.00),

until January 1, 2009, as if a request for

such monitoring had been made under

section 202(d) of the Trade Act of 1974

(19 U.S.C. 2252(d)), for purposes of

expediting an investigation concerning

provisional relief under section 202 of

the Trade Act of 1974. In response, the

Commission instituted investigation No.

332–350, Monitoring of U.S. Imports of

Tomatoes (59 F.R. 1763) and

investigation No. 332–351, Monitoring

of U.S. Imports of Peppers (59 F.R.

1762).

Although section 316 of the NAFTA

Implementation Act does not require the

Commission to publish reports on the

results of its monitoring activities, the

Commission has endeavored to do so in

those years in which it was not

conducting an investigation under other

statutory authority with respect to such

products. Thus, no monitoring reports

were published in 1996 when the

Commission conducted investigation

No. TA–201–66, Fresh Tomatoes and

Bell Peppers (61 F.R. 13875), under

section 202(b) of the Trade Act of 1974

(19 U.S.C. 2252(b)); and antidumping

investigation No. 731–TA–747

(preliminary), Fresh Tomatoes from

Mexico (61 F.R. 15968), under section

733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19

U.S.C. 1673b(a)). The Commission made

a negative injury determination in the

section 201 investigation on July 2,

1996; the Commission’s antidumping

investigation was suspended, effective

November 1, 1996, following the signing

of a suspension agreement.

The Commission plans to publish

both monitoring reports in September

1998.

Issued: May 27, 1998.

By order of the Commission.
