INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation 332–359]

Chile: Probable Economic Effect on

U.S. Imports, Industries, Consumers,

and Exports of Accession to the North

American Free Trade Agreement and

Report on Services Trade

AGENCY: United States International

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Institution of investigation and

scheduling of public hearing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 1995.

SUMMARY: Following receipt on March 8,

1995, of a request from the U.S. Trade

Representative (USTR), the Commission

instituted investigation No. 332–359,

Chile: Probable Economic Effect on U.S.

Imports, Industries, Consumers, and

Exports of Accession to the North

American Free Trade Agreement and

Report on Services Trade, under section

332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19

U.S.C. 1332(g)) for the purpose of—

(a) Advising the President, with

respect to each item in chapters 1

through 98 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTS), as

to the probable economic effect of

providing, under the North American

Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), dutyfree treatment for imports of products of

Chile on industries in the United States

producing like or directly competitive

articles and on consumers;

(b) Advising the President, with

respect to each product sector, of the

probable economic effect on U.S.

exports to Chile of the removal of

Chilean import duties under the

NAFTA; and

(c) Preparing a report on U.S. service

transactions with Chile that would (1)

provide an overview of the nature and

extent of such transactions; (2) highlight

key U.S. service industries that export

services to Chile; (3) identify principal

nontariff barriers that impede the

participation of U.S. services providers

in the Chilean market; and (4) assess the

effects of such barriers on U.S. service

providers.

As requested by the USTR, the advice

will assume that U.S. nontariff measures

that are incompatible with the NAFTA

will not be applicable to such imports,

and the Commission will note in its

report any instance in which the

continued application of a U.S. nontariff

measure would result in different advice

with respect to the effect of the removal

of the duty.

Similarly at the request of the USTR,

the advice with respect to the removal

of Chilean duties on U.S. products will

assume that any known Chilean

nontariff measures incompatible with

the rules of the NAFTA will not be

applicable to U.S. products, and any

instance where the continued

application of such a Chilean nontariff

measure would result in different advice

will be noted by the Commission.

The Commission expects to submit its

report by September 8, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Information

on general topics may be obtained from

the project leader, Mr. James Lukes,

Office of Industries (202–205–3426) or

William Gearhart, Office of the General

Counsel (202–205–3091). The media

(202–205–1819). Hearing impaired

individuals are advised that information

on this matter can be obtained by

contacting the TDD terminal on (202–

205–1810). For information on a

product basis, contact the appropriate

member of the Commission’s Office of

Industries, as follows:

(1) Agricultural and forest products, Mr.

Douglas Newman (202–205–3328)

(2) Chemical, energy-related, textile,

Background

The request letter noted that at the

conclusion of the Summit of the

Americas meeting in Miami in

December, President Clinton, the Prime

Minister of Canada, and the Presidents

of Mexico and Chile jointly announced

their decision to begin the process by

which Chile will accede to the NAFTA.

The announcement also stated that the

Ministers responsible for trade from the

four countries would meet by May 31,

1995, and that accession negotiations

would begin expeditiously thereafter.

The USTR indicated in his request letter

that the Commission’s assistance is

needed in the work of preparing for

these negotiations.

The USTR requested that the

Commission provide its advice with

respect to the removal of U.S. tariffs as

if this request had been made pursuant

to section 131 of the Trade Act (the

Trade Act). If trade agreement

negotiating and legislative procedures
18852 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 71 / Thursday, April 13, 1995 / Notices

requiring advice under section 131 of

the Trade Act are enacted by Congress

prior to completion of the Commission’s

report, the USTR indicated in the

request letter that he will request that

the advice with respect to U.S. tariffs be

converted to a report under section 131.

If trade agreement negotiating and

legislative procedures requiring advice

under section 131 of the Trade Act are

enacted by Congress after the report is

completed, the request letter indicated

that the Commission will be requested

to provide such advice under section

131.

Public Hearing

A public hearing in connection with

the investigation will be held at the U.S.

International Trade Commission

Building, 500 E Street SW, Washington,

DC, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on July 19,

1995, and continuing, as required, on

July 20. All persons shall have the right

to appear, by counsel or in person, to

present information and to be heard.

Requests to appear at the public hearing

should be filed with the Secretary,

United States International Trade

Commission, 500 E Street SW,

Washington, DC 20436, no later than

5:15 p.m., July 7, 1995. Any prehearing

briefs (original and 14 copies) should be

filed not later than 5:15 p.m., July 10,

1995; the deadline for filing posthearing briefs or statements is 5:15 p.m.,

July 25, 1995.

In the event that, as of the close of

business on July 7, 1995, no witnesses

are scheduled to appear at the hearing,

the hearing will be cancelled. Any

person interested in attending the

hearing as an observer or nonparticipant may call the Secretary to the

Commission (202–205–2000) after July

7, 1995, to determine whether the

hearing will be held.

Because the Commission expects to

provide detailed advice on narrowly

defined industries and product lines,

testimony and briefs should focus on

specific industries and products rather

than broad issues of trade policy. In the

context of specific industries and

products, the Commission is interested

in receiving information on existing

nontariff barriers to trade with Chile.

Requests to appear at the hearings

must contain the following information:

a. A description of the article or

articles on which testimony will be

presented, including, if possible, the

item number or numbers in the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (1995) covering the article

or articles.

b. The name and organization of the

witness or witnesses who will testify,

and the name, address, telephone

number, and organization of the person

filing the request.

c. A statement indicating whether the

testimony to be presented will be on

behalf of importers, domestic producers,

consumers, or other interests.

Written Submissions

In lieu of or in addition to

participating in the hearing, interested

parties are invited to submit written

statements concerning the matters to be

addressed by the Commission in its

report on this investigation. Commercial

or financial information that a submitter

desires the Commission to treat as

confidential must be submitted on

separate sheets of paper, each clearly

marked ‘‘Confidential Business

Information’’ at the top. All submissions

requesting confidential treatment must

conform with the requirements of

§ 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.6).

Because the Commission intends to

use the information collected in the

course of the section 332 investigation

in the section 131(b) investigation,

should one be requested, the

Commission requests that all such

requests for confidential treatment filed

in connection with the section 332

investigation contain the following

consent statement: ‘‘I consent to the use

of this confidential business information

by the Commission in preparing its

advice to the President on this matter

under section 131(b) of the Trade Act of

1974.’’ Submissions requesting

confidential treatment not containing

this consent statement will be returned

to the submitter. Any grant of

confidential treatment to information

received in the section 332 investigation

would continue to apply to such

information if it is used in the section

131(b) investigation.

All written submissions, except for

confidential business information, will

be made available in the Office of the

Secretary to the Commission for

inspection by interested parties. To be

assured of consideration by the

Commission, written statements relating

to the Commission’s report should be

submitted to the Commission at the

earliest practical date and should be

received no later than the close of

business on July 25, 1995. All

submissions should be addressed to the

Secretary, United States International

Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW,

Washington, DC 20436.

Persons with mobility impairments

who will need special assistance in

gaining access to the Commission

should contact the Office of the

Secretary at 202–205–2000.

Issued: April 7, 1995.

By order of the Commission.

Donna R. Koehnke,

Secretary.
