ACTION: Request for comments. AGENCY: On January 15, 2013, the United States Trade Representative notified Congress of the Administration’s intention to enter into negotiations for a Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) with an initial group of 20 trading partners. The January 15 notification states that the group negotiating TISA ‘‘will expand as negotiations progress to include others who share our ambitious goals. This expansion will help further U.S. objectives for this agreement rather than change them.’’ The TISA negotiating countries agree that two additional trading partners, Paraguay and Liechtenstein, are willing and able to meet the high standards envisioned for the agreement. The negotiating countries have formed a consensus to allow these new participants to join the negotiations. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is seeking public comments regarding particular priorities with respect to the participation of these two countries in the negotiations. DATES: Written comments are due by October 4, 2013. ADDRESSES: Submissions via on-line: https://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 15, 2013, Ambassador Kirk notified Congress of the Administration’s intention to enter into the TISA negotiations. The TISA negotiations will be compatible with and will build upon the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services, because TISA partners are aiming for a high-standard agreement, which, at some point in the future, may be brought under the auspices of the WTO Agreement. The following 20 trading partners constituted the initial group of TISA participants: Australia, Canada, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Colombia, Costa Rica, European Union on behalf of its member states, Hong Kong China, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Switzerland, and Turkey. USTR solicited public comments on the agreement through a notification published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2013 (Document number: 2013–01497). Comments received through that process may be reviewed at https://www.regulations.gov under docket number USTR–2013–0001. With the addition of Paraguay and Liechtenstein to the negotiating group, the Chair of the interagency Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) now invites interested persons to provide written comments that will assist USTR in assessing U.S. objectives with regard to their participation. The TPSC Chair invites comments on all relevant matters, and, in particular, with regard to the nature of any existing barriers to trade in services with these markets or issues affecting the supply of services to these markets through various modes of supply and technologies. Public Comment: Requirements for Submissions Persons submitting written comments must do so in English and must identify (on the first page of the submission) ‘‘Trade in Services Agreement: New Participants—Paraguay and Liechtenstein.’’ In order to be assured of consideration, comments should be submitted by October 4, 2013.

Comments should be submitted under the following docket: USTR–2013–0029.
