Commission.12

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate

interest, for the protection of investors, 

or otherwise in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act.

is authorized by Title V of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461, et seq.), as 

amended (the ‘‘1974 Act’’), and is 

implemented in accordance with 

Executive Order 11888 of November 24, 

1975, as modified by subsequent 

Executive Orders and Presidential 

Proclamations. 

Petitions Requesting Modifications of 

Product Eligibility 

In a Federal Register notice dated 

May 28, 2009, USTR announced that the 

deadline for the filing of product 

petitions, other than those requesting 

waivers of ‘‘competitive need 

limitations’’ (CNLs), country practice 

petitions for the 2009 GSP Annual 

Review was June 24, 2009 (74 FR 

25605). The deadline for the filing of 

product petitions requesting waivers of 

the CNLs and determinations that any 

eligible products were not produced in 

the United States as of January 1, 1995, 

was announced to be November 17, 

2009. 

The petitions that were received 

requested 164 modifications in the list 

of GSP-eligible products by adding new 

products for eligibility from all GSP 

beneficiaries, by removing products 

from eligibility when imported from 

specific GSP-eligible countries, or other 

changes. The interagency GSP 

Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee (TPSC) has reviewed the 

product petitions, and the TPSC has 

decided to accept for review the product 

petitions listed in ‘‘List of Petitions 

Accepted in the 2009 GSP Annual 

Product Review’’ posted on the USTR 

Web site and available on 

Regulations.gov docket number USTR– 

2009–0036. That list sets forth, for each 

type of change requested: the case 

number, the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTS) 

subheading number, a brief description 

of the product (see the HTS for an 

authoritative description available on 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission Web site http:// 

www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/), and the 

petitioner for each petition included in 

this review. Acceptance of a petition for 

review does not indicate any opinion 

with respect to the disposition on the 

merits of the petition. Acceptance 

indicates only that the listed petitions 

have been found eligible for review by 

the TPSC and that such review will take 

place. 

The GSP Subcommittee of the TPSC 

invites testimony at the public hearing, 

based on receipt of requests to testify, 

and comments in support of or in 

opposition to any petition which has 

been accepted thus far for the 2009 GSP 

Annual Product Review. Submissions

except as modified below. All 

submissions should identify the subject 

article(s) in terms of the case number 

and eight digit HTSUS subheading
