Background: On December 14, 2010, 

the USTR notified the Congress of the 

President’s intent to enter into 

negotiations for a free trade agreement 

with Australia, Brunei Darussalam, 

Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, 

and Vietnam, collectively known as the 

Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). 

Accordingly, the USTR, under authority 

delegated by the President and pursuant 

to section 131 of the Trade Act of 1974 

(19 U.S.C. 2151), requested that the 

Commission provide a report containing 

its advice as to the probable economic 

effect of providing duty-free treatment 

for imports of products from the seven 

TPP countries (i) on industries in the 

United States producing like or directly 

competitive products, and (ii) on 

consumers. The USTR asked that the 

Commission’s analysis consider each 

article in chapters 1 through 97 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTS) for which tariffs 

will remain, taking into account 

implementation of U.S. commitments in 

the World Trade Organization and 

under U.S. free trade agreements that 

the United States has with a TPP 

country. The USTR asked that the 

advice be based on the HTS in effect 

during 2010 and trade data for 2008. 

The USTR also requested that the 

Commission, in preparing its advice, 

assume that any known U.S. non-tariff 

barrier will not be applicable to such 

imports, and that the Commission note 

in its report any instance in which the 

continued application of a U.S. nontariff barrier would result in different 

advice with respect to the effect of the 

removal of the duty. 

In addition, the USTR requested that 

the Commission prepare an assessment, 

pursuant to section 2104(b)(2) of the 

Trade Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C. 3804(b)(2)), 

of the probable economic effects of 

eliminating tariffs on imports from the 

TPP countries of those agricultural 

products on the list attached to his letter 

on (i) industries in the United States 

producing the product concerned, and 

(ii) the U.S. economy as a whole. 

As requested, the Commission will 

provide its report to the USTR by June 

2, 2010. The USTR indicated that those 

sections of the Commission’s report that 

relate to the advice and assessment of 

probable economic effects will be 

classified. The USTR also indicated that 

he considers the Commission’s report to 

be an inter-agency memorandum that 

will contain pre-decisional advice and 

be subject to the deliberative process 

privilege. 

Public Hearing: A public hearing in 

connection with this investigation will 

be held at the U.S. International Trade 

Commission Building, 500 E Street, 

SW., Washington, DC, beginning at 9:30
