Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 112 / Monday, June 10, 1996 / Notices 29445

Harrison, Staff Assistant to Section 301

Committee, (202) 395–3432; legal

questions regarding the executive order

and its implementation should be

addressed to Irving Williamson, Deputy

General Counsel, Office of the United

States Trade Representative, (202) 395–

3432.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By

Executive Order 12901 of March 3, 1994

(59 F.R. 10727), the President ordered

USTR to identify trade expansion

priorities for calendar years 1994 and

1995, given that the identification

provisions of section 310 of the Trade

Act of 1974 (commonly referred to as

‘‘Super 301’’) were then no longer in

effect. By Executive Order 12973 of

September 17, 1995, the President

extended this identification process to

calendar years 1996 and 1997 (60 F.R.

51665). Section 1 of E.O. 12901, as

amended by E.O. 12973, requires the

USTR, no later than September 30,

1996, and September 30, 1997, to review

United States trade expansion priorities

and identify priority foreign country

practices, the elimination of which is

likely to have the most significant

potential to increase United States

exports, either directly or through the

establishment of a beneficial precedent.

A report on the practices identified

must be submitted to the Committee on

Finance of the Senate and the

Committee on Ways and Means of the

House of Representatives, and

published in the Federal Register.

Section 2 of E.O. 12091 requires the

Trade Representative to initiate

investigations under section 302(b)(1) of

the Trade Act of 1974 as amended (19

U.S.C. 2412(b)(1), no later than 21 days

after submission of the report, with

respect to all of the priority foreign

country practices so identified. The

USTR may also cite in the report

practices that may warrant

identification in the future or that were

not identified because they are already

being addressed and progress is being

made toward their elimination.

Requirements for Submissions

The USTR invites submissions on

foreign country practices that should be

considered for identification under E.O.

12901. Submissions should indicate

whether the foreign policy or practice at

issue was identified in the 1996

National Trade Estimate Report on

Foreign Trade Barriers (NTE Report)

published by the Office of the USTR on

March 31, 1996 (U.S. Government

Printing Office, ISBN 0–16–048559–2),

and if so, should cite the page number(s)

where it appears in the NTE and

provide any additional information

considered relevant. (A copy of the NTE

Report is maintained in the USTR

Reading Room and also can be located

at USTR’s Internet Home Page address,

which is: http://www.ustr.gov/

index.html.) If the foreign practice was

not identified in the NTE Report,

submissions should (1) include

information on the nature and

significance of the foreign practice; (2)

identify the United States product,

service, intellectual property right, or

foreign direct investment matter which

is affected by the foreign practice; and

(3) provide any other information

considered relevant. Such information

may include information on the trade

agreements to which a foreign country

is a party, and its compliance with those

agreements; the medium- and long-term

implications of foreign government

procurement plans; and the

international competitive position and

export potential of United States

products and services. Because

submissions will be placed in a public

file, open to public inspection at USTR,

business-confidential information

should not be submitted.

Interested persons must provide

twenty copies of any submission to

Sybia Harrison, staff assistant to the

Section 301 Committee, Room 222, 600

17th Street, NW., Washington, D.C.

20508, no later than 12:00 noon on

Tuesday, July 2, 1996.

Public Inspection of Submissions

Submissions will be placed in a

public file, open for inspection at the

USTR Reading Room, in Room 101,

Office of the United States Trade

Representative, 600 17th Street, NW.,

Washington, D.C. An appointment to

review the file may be made by calling

Brenda Webb, (202) 395–6186. The
