    Background: Section 215(a) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery 
Act (CBERA) (19 U.S.C. 2704(a)) requires that the Commission submit 
annual reports to the Congress and the President on the impact of the 
act on [[Page 27780]] industries and consumers in the United States. 
Section 215(b) of the CBERA requires the Commission to assess the 
actual effect of the act on the United States economy generally as well 
as on appropriate domestic industries and to assess the probable future 
effects of the act. Section 215(c)(2) of the CBERA requires that the 
Commission provide an opportunity for the public, either orally or in 
writing, or both, to submit to the Commission information relating to 
matters that will be addressed in the reports. The Commission 
instituted the present investigation under section 332(b) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(b)) on March 21, 1986, for the purpose of 
gathering and presenting such information on the CBERA. Section 332(b) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides the Commission with general 
authority to conduct factfinding investigations with respect to trade 
and tariff matters. Notice of institution of the investigation and the 
schedule for such reports was published in the Federal Register of May 
14, 1986 (51 FR 17678). The tenth report, covering calendar year 1994, 
is to be submitted by September 30, 1995.
    Written Submissions: The Commission does not plan to hold a public 
hearing in connection with the tenth annual report. However, interested 
persons are invited to submit written statements concerning the matters 
to be addressed in the report. Commercial or financial information that 
a party 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 
Sec. 201.6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
201.6). All written submissions, except for confidential business 
information, will be made available for inspection by interested 
persons in the Office of the Secretary to the Commission. To be assured 
of consideration by the Commission, written statements relating to the 
Commission's report should be submitted at the earliest practical date 
and should be received no later than July 14, 1995.
    Address all submissions to the Secretary to the Commission, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, 500 E St., SW., Washington, D.C. 20436.
