with specific responsibilities in adjudicating and enforcing certain 
U.S. trade laws, providing relevant and timely analyses to the 
President and Congress on trade issues, and maintaining the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS).
    Subtitle B of Title I of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act 
of 1988 (1988 Act) (19 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.) requires the Commission to 
compile and publish the HTS, at appropriate intervals, and also 
requires the Commission to keep the HTS under continuous review. 
Section 1207(b) of the 1988 Act specifies the types of information that 
the Commission must include in the HTS that it compiles and publishes. 
It provides that the publications described in section 1207(a) shall 
contain, in whatever format--
