amended, requires that the Commission 

submit biennial reports to the Congress 

and the President regarding the 

economic impact of the Act on U.S. 

industries and consumers, and on the 

economy of the beneficiary countries. 

Section 215(b)(1) requires that the 

reports include, but not be limited to, an 

assessment regarding: 

(A) The actual effect, during the 

period covered by the report, of 

[CBERA] on the United States economy 

generally, as well as on those specific 

domestic industries which produce 

articles that are like, or directly 

competitive with, articles being 

imported into the United States from 

beneficiary countries; and 

(B) The probable future effect which 

this Act will have on the United States 

economy generally, as well as on such 

domestic industries before the 

provisions of this Act terminate. 

Notice of institution of the 

investigation was published in the 

Federal Register of May 14, 1986 (51 FR

submissions must conform with the 

provisions of section 201.8 of the

Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8 

requires that a signed original (or a copy 

so designated) and fourteen (14) copies 

of each document be filed. In the event 

that confidential treatment of a 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential information 

must be deleted (see the following 

paragraph for further information 

regarding confidential business 

information). The Commission’s rules 

authorize filing submissions with the 

Secretary by facsimile or electronic 

means only to the extent permitted by 

section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook 

for Electronic Filing Procedures, http:// 

www.usitc.gov/secretary/ 

fed_reg_notices/rules/documents/ 

handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf). 

Persons with questions regarding 

electronic filing should contact the 

Office of the Secretary (202–205–2000). 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information (CBI) 

must also conform with the 

requirements of section 201.6 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 201.6). Section 201.6 

of the rules requires that the cover of the 

document and the individual pages be 

clearly marked as to whether they are 

the ‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

version, and that the confidential 

business information be clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available for inspection by 

interested parties. 

The Commission intends to publish 

only a public report in this 

investigation. Accordingly, any CBI 

received by the Commission in this 

investigation will not be published in a 

manner that would reveal the operations 

of the firm supplying the information. 

The report will be made available to the 

public on the Commission’s Web site. 

Issued: May 18, 2009. 

By order of the Commission.
