of his intent to enter into the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement 
with the countries of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, 
Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. As 
requested by the USTR and as required by section 105(c) of the 
Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 
2015 (2015 Act), the Commission will submit to the President and 
Congress a report assessing the likely impact of the Trans-Pacific 
Partnership (TPP) Agreement on the U.S. economy as a whole and on 
specific industry sectors and the interests of U.S. consumers. In 
assessing the likely impact, the Commission will include the impact the 
agreement will have on the U.S. gross domestic product; exports and 
imports; aggregate employment and employment opportunities; and the 
production, employment, and competitive position of industries likely 
to be significantly affected by the agreement. In preparing its 
assessment, the Commission will also review available economic 
assessments regarding the Agreement, including literature concerning 
any substantially equivalent proposed agreement. The Commission will 
provide a description of the analytical methods used and conclusions 
drawn in such literature, and a discussion of areas of consensus and 
divergence between the Commission's analyses and conclusions and other 
economic assessments reviewed.
    Section 105(c)(2) of the 2015 Act requires that the Commission 
submit its report to the President and the Congress not later than 105

Summaries of Written Submissions

    The Commission intends to publish summaries of the positions of 
interested persons in an appendix to its report. Persons wishing to 
have a summary of their position included in the appendix should 
include a summary with either their pre-hearing or post-hearing brief 
or another written submission, or as a separate written submission, and 
the summary must be clearly marked on its front page as being their 
``summary of position for inclusion in the appendix to the Commission's 
report.'' The summary may not exceed 500 words, should be in MSWord 
format or a format that can be easily converted to MSWord, and should 
not include any confidential business information. The summary will be 
published as provided if it meets these requirements and is germane to 
the subject matter of the investigation. In the appendix the Commission 
will identify the name of the organization
