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

merchandise trade report has been

published in the current series under

investigation No. 332–345 annually

since September 1993. 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.
