standard letter-size pages in 12-point type, including attachments. Any
data attachments to the submission should be included in the same file
as the submission itself, and not as separate files.
Given the detailed nature of the information sought by the GSP
Subcommittee, it is expected that most comments and submissions will be
provided in an attached document. When attaching a document, type: (1)
The eight-digit HTSUS subheading number, and (2) ``See attached'' in
the ``General Comments'' field on the online submission form, and
indicate on the attachment that the document is a ``Product Review
Petition'' for [HTSUS Subheading Number], [Product Name], and, if
pertinent, [Country].
Petitions submitted in response to this notice must include on the
first page (if provided in an attachment, or at the beginning of the
submission, if not provided in an attachment), the following text (in
bold and underlined): (1) ``2010 GSP Annual Review''; (2) the eight-
digit HTSUS subheading number in which the product is classified (3)
the requested action; and (4) if applicable, the beneficiary developing
country.
Each submitter will receive a submission tracking number upon
completion of the submissions procedure at https://www.regulations.gov.
The tracking number will be the submitter's confirmation that the
submission was received, and it should be kept for the submitter's
records. USTR is not able to provide technical assistance for the
website. Documents not submitted in accordance with these instructions
may not be considered in this review. If unable to provide submissions
as requested, please contact the GSP Program to arrange for an
alternative method of transmission.
III. Business Confidential Comments
A person requesting that information contained in a comment
submitted by that person be treated as confidential business
information must certify that such information is business confidential
and would not customarily be released to the public by the submitter.
Confidential business information must be clearly designated as such,
the submission must be marked ``BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL'' at the top and
bottom of the cover page and each succeeding page, and the submission
should indicate, via brackets, the specific information that is
confidential. Additionally, ``Business Confidential'' must be included
in the ``Type Comment & Upload File'' field. Anyone submitting a
comment containing business confidential information must also submit
as a separate submission a non-confidential version of the confidential
submission, indicating where confidential information has been
redacted. The non-confidential version will be placed in the docket and
open to public inspection.
