SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission published notice of
institution of the above referenced
investigation in the Federal Register on
September 27, 2019 (84 FR 51178,
September 27, 2019). The Commission
instituted the investigation following
receipt of a request from the USTR on

the Commission provide its report in
two volumes, with volume 1 provided
by June 30, 2020, and volume 2 by
October 31, 2020. In its notice
announcing the investigation, the
Commission noted the respective due
dates for volumes 1 and 2 of the report,
and in connection with volume 2,
requested that written submissions be
filed with the Commission by June 5,
2020. On May 28, 2020, the Commission
received a request on behalf of the U.S.
Trade Representative, requesting that
the Commission deliver volume 2 of its
report by January 31, 2021. That request
noted the disruption and technical
issues that have arisen with respect to
completion of volume 2 of the report
due to the COVID–19 pandemic,
including with respect to the ability to
do travel-related research, and asked
that the Commission transmit volume 2
of the report by January 31, 2021
(delivered Monday, February 1, 2021).
The Commission still expects to
transmit volume 1 of the report to USTR
by June 30, 2020, the date indicated in
the notice published in the Federal
Register on April 17, 2020.
Written Submissions: The
Commission has invited interested

be received no later than 5:15 p.m., July

volume 2 of the Commission’s report.
All written submissions must conform
with the provisions of section 201.8 of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8
of the Rules (as further explained in the
Commission’s Handbook on Filing
Procedures) requires that interested
parties file documents electronically on

business information or ‘‘CBI’’). Persons

201.8(d)(1)) that persons filing written
submissions must also file paper copies

Confidential Business Information
(CBI): Any submissions that contain CBI
must also conform to the requirements
of section 201.6 of the Commission’s
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR

requires that the cover of the document

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’
version, and that the CBI is clearly
identified using brackets. The
Commission will make all written
submissions, except for those (or
portions thereof) containing CBI,
available for inspection by interested
parties.
In his request letter, the USTR stated
that his office intends to make the
Commission’s report available to the
public in its entirety, and he asked that
the Commission not include any CBI in
the report that it delivers to USTR.
The Commission will not include any
of the CBI submitted in the course of
this investigation in the report it sends
to the USTR. However, all information,
including CBI, submitted in this
investigation may be disclosed to and
used (i) by the Commission, its
employees and Offices, and contract
personnel (a) for developing or
maintaining the records of this or a
related proceeding, or (b) in internal
investigations, audits, reviews, and
evaluations relating to the programs,
personnel, and operations of the
Commission, including under 5 U.S.C.
Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government
employees and contract personnel for
cybersecurity purposes. The
Commission will not otherwise disclose
any CBI in a manner that would reveal
the operations of the firm supplying the
information.
Summaries of Written Submissions:
The Commission intends to publish any
summaries of written submissions filed
by interested persons. Persons wishing
to have a summary of their submission
included in the report should include a

Country Path:
