    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 11, 1996.
    
    SUMMARY: Following receipt on September 17, 1996, of a letter from the 
    United States Trade Representative (USTR), the Commission instituted 
    investigation No. 332-370, Advice on Providing Additional GSP Benefits 
    for Least-Developed Countries, under section 332(g) of the Tariff Act 
    of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)) in order that it might--
        (1) In accordance with sections 503(a)(1)(B), 503(e), and 131(a) of 
    the Trade Act of 1974 (1974 Act), with respect to each article listed 
    in Part A of the attached annex, provide advice as to the probable 
    economic effect on U.S. industries producing like or directly 
    competitive articles and on consumers of the elimination of U.S. import 
    duties under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) and, to the 
    extent possible, the level of U.S. import sensitivity of such articles 
    in the context of imports from the least-developed beneficiary 
    developing countries (LDBCs); and
        (2) In accordance with section 503(a)(1)(B), 503(b)(1)(B), 503(e), 
    and 131(a) of the 1974 Act, with respect to the watches identified in 
    Part B of the attached annex, provide advice as to the probable 
    economic effect on watch or watch band, strap, or bracelet 
    manufacturing and assembly operations in the United States or the U.S. 
    insular possessions and on consumers of the elimination of U.S. import 
    duties under the GSP and, to the extent possible, the level of U.S. 
    import sensitivity of such watches in the context of imports from the 
    LDBCs.
        USTR also requested that the Commission, with respect to the 
    watches identified in Part B of the attached annex, (1) in order to 
    form a basis for the material injury determination required by section 
    503(b)(1)(B) of the 1974 Act, provide, to the degree possible, data on 
    the following factors for the most recent 3-year period for the watch 
    and watch band, strap, and bracelet manufacturing and assembly 
    operations in the United States or U.S. insular possessions: annual 
    production, capacity, capacity utilization, domestic shipments, 
    exports, inventories, employment, wages, and financial experience 
    (including prices); and (2) provide data for the most recent 3-year 
    period, to the extent possible, on the following factors for current 
    and potential LDBCs: current and potential production capacity and 
    capacity utilization, domestic shipments, and exports to U.S. and other 
    markets.
        As requested by USTR, the Commission will assume that the benefits 
    of the GSP would continue to apply to imports that would be normally 
    excluded from receiving such benefits by virtue of the competitive need 
    limits specified in section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act (an exemption 
    from the application of the competitive need limits for the LDBCs is 
    provided for in section 503(c)(2)(D) of the 1974 Act).
        As requested by USTR, the Commission expects to submit its report 
    by March 3, 1997. The Commission will publish shortly thereafter a 
    public version of the report, deleting information that has been 
    classified by USTR or which the Commission considers to be confidential 
    business information.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information on general topics may be 
    obtained from Robert Wallace (202-205-3458) of the Office of Industries 
    and on legal aspects, from William
    
    [[Page 54678]]
    
    Gearhart, Office of the General Counsel (202-205-3091). The media 
    should contact Margaret O'Laughlin, Public Affairs Officer (202-205-
    1819). Hearing impaired persons are advised that information on this 
    matter can be obtained by contacting the TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. 
    For information on a product basis, contact the appropriate member of 
    the Commission's Office of Industries, as follows:
    
    (1) Agriculture and forest products, Lowell Grant (202-205-3312)
    (2) Energy, chemicals, and textiles, Mary Elizabeth Sweet (202-205-
    3455)
    (3) Minerals, metals, machinery, and miscellaneous manufactures, Karl 
    Tsuji (202-205-3434)
    (4) Services, electronics, and transportation, John Davitt (202-205-
    3407)
    
    BACKGROUND: The letter from USTR noted that the Trade Policy Staff 
    Committee pursuant to legislation reauthorizing the GSP has determined 
    to institute an investigation and request the advice of the Commission 
    on the designation of certain articles as eligible articles under the 
    GSP for countries designated as LDBCs for purposes of the GSP program. 
    Legislation amending the GSP provisions and extending the program was 
    signed by the President on August 20, 1996 (Public Law 104-188, 110 
    Stat. 1755) (Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996--for the GSP 
    related provisions, see subtitle J of title I of the Act). The 
    amendments apply to articles entered on or after October 1, 1996.
        Watches, along with several other categories of ``import-sensitive 
    articles,'' were excluded from GSP eligibility in the 1974 Act, which 
    implemented the GSP program. The 1974 Act was amended by the Omnibus 
    Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to permit the President to 
    designate watches as GSP-eligible articles if he determines that such 
    designation will not cause ``material injury'' to watch or watch band, 
    strap, or bracelet manufacturing and assembly operations in the United 
    States or the U.S. insular possessions. The legislative history of 
    section 503(c)(1) of the 1974 Act defines material injury to mean 
    ``substantial or significant injury.''
    
    PUBLIC HEARING: A public hearing in connection with the investigation 
    will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building, 500 E 
    Street SW, Washington, DC, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on November 19, 1996, 
    and continuing, as required on November 20. The Commission asks that 
    testimony focus on the issues stated in the SUMMARY above. All persons 
    shall have the right to appear, by counsel or in person, to present 
    information and to be heard. Requests to appear at the hearing should 
    be filed with the Secretary, United States International Trade 
    Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436, no later than 5:15 
    p.m., November 6, 1996. Any prehearing briefs (original and 14 copies) 
    should be filed not later than 5:15 p.m., November 13, 1996; the 
    deadline for filing posthearing briefs or statements is 5:15 p.m., 
    December 6, 1996.
        In the event that, as of the close of business on November 6, 1996, 
    no witnesses are scheduled to appear at the hearing, the hearing will 
    be canceled. Any person interested in attending the hearing as an 
    observer or non-participant may call the Secretary to the Commission 
    (202-205-1816) after November 12, 1996, to determine whether the 
    hearing will be held.
    
    WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS: In lieu of or in addition to participating in the 
    hearing, interested persons are invited to submit written statements 
    concerning the matters to be addressed by the Commission in its report 
    on this investigation. Commercial or financial information that a 
    submitter desires the Commission to treat as confidential must be 
    submitted on separate sheets of paper, each clearly marked 
    ``Confidential Business Information'' at the top. All submissions 
    requesting confidential treatment must conform with the requirements of 
    Sec. 201.6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 
    C.F.R. 201.6). All written submissions, except for confidential 
    business information, will be made available in the Office of the 
    Secretary of the Commission for inspection by interested persons. The 
    Commission may include confidential business information submitted in 
    the course of this investigation in the report that it sends to the 
    President and USTR. However, the Commission will not publish such 
    information in the public version of its report in a manner that would 
    reveal the individual operations of the firm supplying the information.
        To be assured of consideration by the Commission, written 
    statements relating to the investigation should be submitted to the 
    Commission at the earliest practical date and should be received no 
    later than the close of business on December 6, 1996. All submissions
