the Department of Defense’s Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA), as National
Defense Stockpile Manager, maintains a
stockpile of strategic and critical
materials to supply the military,
industrial, and essential civilian needs
of the United States for national
defense. Section 9(b)(2)(G)(ii) of the
Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C.
98(h)(b)(2)(G)(ii)) authorizes the
National Defense Stockpile Manager to
fund material research and development
projects to develop new materials for
the stockpile.
Section 3314 of the Fiscal Year (FY)
1993 National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) (50 U.S.C. 98h–1) formally
established a Market Impact Committee
(the Committee) to ‘‘advise the National
Defense Stockpile Manager on the
projected domestic and foreign
economic effects of all acquisitions and
disposals of materials from the
stockpile. . . .’’ The Committee must
also balance market impact concerns
with the statutory requirement to
protect the U.S. Government against
avoidable loss.
The Committee is comprised of
representatives from the Departments of
Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense,
Energy, Interior, the Treasury, and
Homeland Security, and is co-chaired
by the Departments of Commerce and
State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the
Committee to consult with industry
representatives that produce, process, or
consume the materials stored in or of
interest to the National Defense
Stockpile Manager.
As the National Defense Stockpile
Manager, the DLA must produce an
Annual Materials Plan proposing the
maximum quantity of each listed
material that may be acquired, disposed
of, upgraded, converted, or sold by the
DLA in a particular fiscal year. In
Attachment 1, the DLA lists the
quantities and type of activity (potential
acquisition, potential disposal, potential
upgrade, potential conversion, or
potential sale) associated with each
material in its proposed FY 2018
Annual Materials Plan (‘‘AMP’’). The
quantities listed in Attachment 1 are not
acquisition, disposal, upgrade,
conversion or sales target quantities, but
rather a statement of the proposed
maximum quantity of each listed
material that may be acquired, disposed
of, upgraded, converted, or sold in a
particular fiscal year by the DLA, as
noted. The quantity of each material
that will actually be acquired or offered
for sale will depend on the market for
the material at the time of the
acquisition or offering, as well as on the
quantity of each material approved for

The Committee is seeking public
comments on the potential market
impact associated with the proposed FY
2018 AMP as enumerated in Attachment
1. Public comments are an important
element of the Committee’s market
impact review process.
Submission of Comments
The Committee requests that
interested parties provide written
comments, supporting data and
documentation, and any other relevant
information on the potential market
impact of the quantities associated with
the proposed FY 2018 AMP. All

Committee Notice of Inquiry’’ in the
subject line.
The Committee encourages interested
persons who wish to comment to do so
at the earliest possible time. The period
for submission of comments will close
on September 28, 2016. The Committee
will consider all comments received
before the close of the comment period.
Comments received after the end of the
comment period will be considered, if
possible, but their consideration cannot
be assured.
All comments submitted in response
to this notice will be made a matter of
public record and will be available for
public inspection and copying. Anyone
submitting business confidential
information should clearly identify the
business confidential portion of the
submission and also provide a non-

Healthcare Business Development
Mission to China, October 16–21, 2016
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration, is organizing an
executive-led Healthcare Business
Development Mission to China with an
emphasis on the Sector. The mission
will be led by the Deputy Secretary of
Commerce with participation from U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services to facilitate access to the
appropriate Chinese government
agencies.
The purpose of the mission is open
access to Chinese government health
officials and to introduce U.S. firms and
trade associations to the Chinese
Healthcare market as well as assist U.S.
companies to find business partners and
export their products and services to
China. The mission is intended to
include representatives from U.S.
companies and U.S. trade associations
with members that provide high end,
innovative medical devices (especially
imaging), healthcare technology
equipment, innovative pharmaceuticals,

hospital management or senior care
management solutions, and medical
education or training, hospital
cooperation (i.e. management and
education), as well as pharmaceuticals
and senior care segments.
Healthcare is an important issue for
both the China. Today, China’s annual
healthcare spending is about $590.2
billion or 5.7% of its GDP. Commerce
and health are not mutually exclusive,
as workers become ill and as the cost of
healthcare and insurance increases there
is a direct impact on business through
the loss of worker productivity and
skilled workers, and reduced output.
With fewer healthy workers earning
incomes, businesses will also be harmed
by decreased size and purchasing power
of consumers. Families and individuals
will be burdened with the impact of
reduced incomes, increased health
costs, and increased likelihood of long
term care. As the world’s two largest
economies, how the two sides approach
healthcare in the future has the
potential to impact global macroeconomic stability and future economic
growth.
In recent years China has prioritized
the reform of its healthcare system, to
ensure citizens have good quality and
affordable care, especially given the
trends in the population and the
increase in various health issues. The
aging population, chronic disease and
lack of fitness for children create
challenges and burdens on establishing
an effective healthcare system.
Incidence of non-communicable disease
(NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease,
cancer and diabetes has rapidly
increased. Economic growth is also
impeded because NCDs hit workers in
their prime years of productivity—
creating long term chronic conditions,
withdrawal from the workforce,
diminished family resources and early
death. Tackling the prevalence and
significance of NCDs is challenging. The
causes are rooted in the universal trends
of aging and rapid urbanization,
demographic factors which will only
increase in the future.
Facing similar challenges and
possessing common goals to achieve a
successful healthcare ecosystem, the
United States and China are well
positioned to share experiences and find
solutions to existing problems through
uniting government and private sector
forces at the intersection of commerce
and healthcare. Areas of mutual
collaboration in the healthcare could
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
focus on improving patient access and
services delivery, as well as areas of
cooperation to benefit the health and
lives of the population. As China
reforms its’ healthcare system and
endeavors to create an innovative
medical device and pharmaceutical
industry it risks the alienation of foreign
firms in the market. This trade mission
will offer U.S. firms not only the
opportunity to market their products
and services, but also to explore ways
that U.S. industry can support China’s
efforts to reform their healthcare system
through win-win bilateral healthcare
cooperation.
The trade mission will include oneon-one business appointments with prescreened potential buyers, agents,
distributors and joint venture partners;
meetings with national and regional
government officials, chambers of
commerce, and business groups; and
networking receptions for companies
and trade associations representing
companies interested in expansion into
the Chinese markets. Meetings will be
offered with government authorities
(such as the National Health and Family
Planning Commission, China Food and
Drug Administration, Ministry of
Human Resources and Social Services,
and Ministry of Civil Affairs) that can
address questions about policies, tariff
rates, incentives, regulations, etc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under the authority of the Strategic and Critical Materials Stock
Piling Revision Act of 1979, as amended (the Stock Piling Act) (50
U.S.C. 98, et seq.), the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA), as National Defense Stockpile Manager, maintains a
stockpile of strategic and critical materials to supply the military,
industrial, and essential civilian needs of the United States for
national defense. Section 9(b)(2)(G)(ii) of the Stock Piling Act (50
U.S.C. 98(h)(b)(2)(G)(ii)) authorizes the National Defense Stockpile
Manager to fund material research and development projects to develop
new materials for the stockpile.
Section 3314 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 1993 National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) (50 U.S.C. 98h-1) formally established a
Market Impact Committee (the Committee) to ``advise the National
Defense Stockpile Manager on the projected domestic and foreign
economic effects of all acquisitions and disposals of materials from
the stockpile. . . .'' The Committee must also balance market impact
concerns with the statutory requirement to protect the U.S. Government
against avoidable loss.
The Committee is comprised of representatives from the Departments
of Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, the
Treasury, and Homeland Security, and is co-chaired by the Departments
of Commerce and State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the Committee to
consult with industry representatives that produce, process, or consume
the materials stored in or of interest to the National Defense
Stockpile Manager.
As the National Defense Stockpile Manager, the DLA must produce an
Annual Materials Plan proposing the maximum quantity of each listed
material that may be acquired, disposed of, upgraded, converted, or
sold by the DLA in a particular fiscal year. In Attachment 1, the DLA
lists the quantities and type of activity (potential acquisition,
potential disposal, potential upgrade, potential conversion, or
potential sale) associated with each material in its proposed FY 2018
Annual Materials Plan (``AMP''). The quantities listed in Attachment 1
are not acquisition, disposal, upgrade, conversion or sales target
quantities, but rather a statement of the proposed maximum quantity of
each listed material that may be acquired, disposed of, upgraded,
converted, or sold in a particular fiscal year by the DLA, as noted.
The quantity of each material that will actually be acquired or offered
for sale will depend on the market for the material at the time of the
acquisition or offering, as well as on the quantity of each material
approved for
[[Page 59182]]
acquisition, disposal, conversion, or upgrade by Congress.
The Committee is seeking public comments on the potential market
impact associated with the proposed FY 2018 AMP as enumerated in
Attachment 1. Public comments are an important element of the
Committee's market impact review process.
Submission of Comments
The Committee requests that interested parties provide written
comments, supporting data and documentation, and any other relevant
information on the potential market impact of the quantities associated
with the proposed FY 2018 AMP. All comments must be submitted to the
addresses indicated in this notice. All comments submitted through
email must include the phrase ``Market Impact Committee Notice of
Inquiry'' in the subject line.
The Committee encourages interested persons who wish to comment to
do so at the earliest possible time. The period for submission of
comments will close on September 28, 2016. The Committee will consider
all comments received before the close of the comment period. Comments
received after the end of the comment period will be considered, if
possible, but their consideration cannot be assured.
All comments submitted in response to this notice will be made a
matter of public record and will be available for public inspection and
copying. Anyone submitting business confidential information should
clearly identify the business confidential portion of the submission
and also provide a non-confidential submission that can be placed in
the public record. The Committee will seek to protect such information
to the extent permitted by law.
