INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation 332-390]


Advice Concerning the Proposed Expansion of the Information 
Technology Agreement

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Institution of investigation and scheduling of public hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 3, 1998.
SUMMARY: Following receipt of a request on January 16, 1998, from the 
Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the Commission 
instituted investigation No. 332-390, Advice Concerning the Proposed 
Expansion of the Information Technology Agreement, under section 332(g) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Industry-specific information may be 
obtained from Sylvia McDonough (202-205-3393) or Danielle Kriz (202-
205-3442), Office of Industries, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC 20436. For information on the legal aspects of this 
investigation contact Mr. William Gearhart of the Office of the General 
Counsel (202-205-3091). The media should contact Margaret O'Laughlin, 
Office of External Relations (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).

Background

    The USTR's letter requesting the investigation was received on 
January 16, 1998. The study, to be delivered in two phases, concerns 
the proposed modification of duties on certain information technology 
(IT) products which were listed in an attachment (see Annex below) to 
the USTR's letter. In the first phase of its report, the Commission 
will, as requested by the USTR, provide detailed descriptions of the 
products on the list, the uses of these products relative to IT 
industries and consumers as well as to non-IT industries and consumers, 
and the major producing countries, U.S. export markets, and sources of 
U.S. imports. In reviewing the products, the Commission will identify 
those products that are viewed as import sensitive by U.S. industry or 
other sources as well as any similar products that could reasonably be 
expected to be included in the product groupings but are not. The 
Commission expects to provide this information and advice to USTR by 
March 27, 1998. In the second phase of its report, the Commission will, 
as requested by the USTR, to the extent possible, analyze briefly 
current tariff and nontariff trade barriers, if any; patterns of U.S. 
imports and U.S. exports; and increased opportunities resulting from 
proposed tariff modifications. The Commission expects to provide this 
information and advice not later than May 1, 1998.

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 March 19, 1998. All persons 
will 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., March 9, 1998. Any prehearing briefs (original and 14 copies) 
should be filed not later than 5:15 p.m., March 13, 1998; the deadline 
for filing post-hearing briefs or statements is 5:15 p.m., March 24, 
1998. In the event that, as of the close of business on March 9, 1998, 
no witnesses are scheduled to appear at the hearing, the hearing will 
be canceled. Any person interested in attending the hearing as an 
observer or non-participant may call the Secretary of the Commission 
(202-205-1816) after March 10, 1998 to determine whether the hearing 
will be held.

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 March 24, 1998. All submissions should be addressed to
