As stated in the letter, in light of the
new government and the Committees’
interest in receiving the most
comprehensive and up-to-date
information possible, the Committees
asked the Commission to conduct a
second investigation concerning any
significant changes since the first USITC

policies that discriminate against U.S.
trade and investment. As requested by
the Committees, the Commission will
include in its report for the second

identified in the Commission’s first
report (which is to be delivered to the
Committees by December 15, 2014); and
• Information on any new relevant
trade and investment policies and
practices in India, focusing on the
period from mid-2014. The Committees

intend to make the Commission’s report
available to the public and asked that
the report not contain any confidential
