The USTR noted that his office had
previously notified the Commission that
these five cotton articles were being
considered for designation as eligible
articles under the GSP program for leastdeveloped beneficiary developing

had provided its advice in May 2012 (in
its report on investigation No. 332–529)

elimination of U.S. import duties on
those articles for least-developed
beneficiary developing countries under
the GSP program.

as ‘‘confidential,’’ and that USTR
considers the Commission’s report to be
an inter-agency memorandum that will
contain pre-decisional advice and be
subject to the deliberative process
