2005 WTO Ministerial Decision on Duty-Free Quota-Free Market Access for 
the Least Developed Countries

AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.

ACTION: Request for resubmission of comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) is advising the public

original notice requesting comments on considerations relating to the 
Decision that Members adopted at the Sixth Ministerial Conference of 
the World Trade Organization (WTO) in December 2005 on duty-free, 
quota-free (DFQF) market access for the least-developed countries 
(LDCs). The original notice was published on January 18, 2007 (Federal 
Register Volume 72, Number 11, pages 2316-2317). Any submission 
transmitted prior to March 14, 2007 was

not received. The malfunction in the email address has been corrected 
and the TPSC is requesting the public to resubmit any written comments 
submitted prior to March 14, 2007.

DATES: Comments are due by April 15, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Submissions by electronic mail: [email protected]. 
Submissions by facsimile: Gloria Blue, Executive Secretary, Trade 
Policy Staff Committee, at (202) 395-6143. The public is strongly 
encouraged to submit documents electronically rather than by facsimile. 
(See requirements for submissions below.)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: General inquiries should be made to 
the USTR Office of WTO and Multilateral Affairs at (202) 395-6843; 
calls on individual subjects will be transferred as appropriate. 
Procedural inquiries concerning the public comment process should be 
directed to Gloria Blue, Executive Secretary, Trade Policy Staff 
Committee, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), (202) 395-

    Written Submissions: Persons resubmitting comments may either send 
one copy by fax to Gloria Blue, Executive Secretary, Trade Policy Staff 
Committee, at (202) 395-6143 or transmit a copy electronically to 
[email protected], with ``Duty-Free, Quota-Free'' in the subject 
line. For documents sent by fax, USTR requests that the submitter 
provide a confirmation copy electronically. The public is strongly 
encouraged to submit documents electronically rather than by facsimile. 
USTR encourages the use of Adobe PDF format to submit attachments to an 
electronic mail. Interested persons who make submissions by electronic 
mail should not provide separate cover letters; information that might 
appear in a cover letter should be included in the submission itself. 
Similarly, to the extent possible, any attachments to the submission 
should be included in the same file as the submission itself, and not 
as separate files.
    Comments should be submitted electronically no later than April 15, 
2007.
    Business confidential information will be subject to the 
requirements of 15 CFR 2003.6. Any business confidential material must 
be clearly marked as such and must be accompanied by a non-confidential 
summary thereof. A justification as to why the information contained in 
the submission should be treated confidentially should also be 
contained in the submission. In addition, any submissions containing 
business confidential information must clearly be marked ``Business 
Confidential'' at the top and bottom of the cover page (or letter) and 
each succeeding page of the submission. The version that does not 
contain business confidential information should also be clearly marked 
at the top and bottom of each page, ``Public Version'' or ``Non-
Confidential.''
    Written comments submitted in connection with this request, except 
for information granted ``business confidential'' status pursuant to 15 
CFR 2003.6 will be available for public inspection in the USTR Reading 
Room, Office of the United States Trade Representative. An appointment 
to review the file can be made by calling (202) 395-6186. The Reading 
Room is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 
p.m. Monday through Friday.

    Dated: March 15, 2007.
Carmen C. Suro-Bredie,
Assistant USTR for Policy Coordination.
