ACTION: Institution of investigations and scheduling of public hearing. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES AGENCY: DATES: Effective Date: March 24, 2006. SUMMARY: Following receipt on March 17, 2006, of a request from the United VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:32 Mar 29, 2006 Jkt 208001 States Trade Representative (USTR), the Commission instituted investigation Nos. TA–131–033 and TA–2104–022, U.S.-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement: Advice Concerning the Probable Economic Effect of Providing Duty-Free Treatment for Imports, under section 131 of the Trade Act of 1974 and section 2104(b)(2) of the Trade Act of 2002. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information specific to these investigations may be obtained from Heidi Colby-Oizumi, Project Leader (202–205–3391; heidi.colby@usitc.gov), Office of Industries, or James Fetzer, Deputy Project Leader (202–708–5403; james.fetzer@usitc.gov), Office of Economics, United States International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, 20436. For information on the legal aspects of these investigations, contact William Gearhart of the Office of the General Counsel (202–205–3091; william.gearhart@usitc.gov). General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing its internet server (https://www.usitc.gov). Background On March 8, 2006, the USTR notified the Congress of the President’s intent to enter into negotiations for a free trade agreement with Malaysia. Accordingly, the USTR, pursuant to section 131 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2151), requested the Commission to provide a report including advice as to the probable economic effect of providing duty-free treatment for imports of products of Malaysia (i) on industries in the United States producing like or directly competitive products, and (ii) on consumers. In preparing the advice, the Commission’s analysis will consider each article in chapters 1 through 97 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States for which U.S. tariffs will remain after the United States fully implements its Uruguay Round tariff commitments. The import advice will be based on the 2006 Harmonized Tariff System nomenclature and 2005 trade data. The advice with respect to the removal of U.S. duties on imports from Malaysia will assume that any known U.S. nontariff barrier will not be applicable to such imports. The Commission will note in its report any instance in which the continued application of a U.S. nontariff barrier to such imports would result in different advice with respect to the effect of the removal of the duty. As also requested, pursuant to section 2104(b)(2) of the Trade Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C. 3804(b)(2)), the Commission will provide advice as to the probable economic effect of eliminating tariffs on PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16179 imports of certain agricultural products of Malaysia on (i) industries in the United States producing the product concerned, and (ii) the U.S. economy as a whole. The Commission expects to provide its report to USTR by June 30, 2006. USTR indicated that those sections of the Commission’s report that relate to the analysis of probable economic effects will be classified. Public Hearing A public hearing in connection with these investigations is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on April 19, 2006, at the United States International Trade Commission Building, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC. Requests to appear at the public hearing should be filed with the Secretary, no later than 5:15 p.m., April 4, 2006, in accordance with the requirements in the ‘‘Submissions’’ section below.
