    EFFECTIVE DATE: February 3, 1998.
    SUMMARY: Following receipt of a request on January 16, 1998, from the 
    Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the Commission 
    instituted investigation No. 332-390, Advice Concerning the Proposed 
    Expansion of the Information Technology Agreement, under section 332(g) 
    of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)).
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Industry-specific information may be 
    obtained from Sylvia McDonough (202-205-3393) or Danielle Kriz (202-
    205-3442), Office of Industries, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
    Washington, DC 20436. For information on the legal aspects of this 
    investigation contact Mr. William Gearhart of the Office of the General 
    Counsel (202-205-3091). The media should contact Margaret O'Laughlin, 
    Office of External Relations (202-205-1819). Hearing impaired 
    individuals are advised that information on this matter can be obtained 
    by contacting the TDD terminal on (202-205-1810).
    
    Background
    
        The USTR's letter requesting the investigation was received on 
    January 16, 1998. The study, to be delivered in two phases, concerns 
    the proposed modification of duties on certain information technology 
    (IT) products which were listed in an attachment (see Annex below) to 
    the USTR's letter. In the first phase of its report, the Commission 
    will, as requested by the USTR, provide detailed descriptions of the 
    products on the list, the uses of these products relative to IT 
    industries and consumers as well as to non-IT industries and consumers, 
    and the major producing countries, U.S. export markets, and sources of 
    U.S. imports. In reviewing the products, the Commission will identify 
    those products that are viewed as import sensitive by U.S. industry or 
    other sources as well as any similar products that could reasonably be 
    expected to be included in the product groupings but are not. The 
    Commission expects to provide this information and advice to USTR by 
    March 27, 1998. In the second phase of its report, the Commission will, 
    as requested by the USTR, to the extent possible, analyze briefly 
    current tariff and nontariff trade barriers, if any; patterns of U.S. 
    imports and U.S. exports; and increased opportunities resulting from 
    proposed tariff modifications. The Commission expects to provide this 
    information and advice not later than May 1, 1998.
    
    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 March 19, 1998. All persons 
    will have the right to appear, by counsel or in person, to present 
    information and to be heard. Requests to appear at the public 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., March 9, 1998. Any prehearing briefs (original and 14 copies) 
    should be filed not later than 5:15 p.m., March 13, 1998; the deadline 
    for filing post-hearing briefs or statements is 5:15 p.m., March 24, 
    1998. In the event that, as of the close of business on March 9, 1998, 
    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 of the Commission 
    (202-205-1816) after March 10, 1998 to determine whether the hearing 
    will be held.
    
    Written Submissions
    
        In lieu of or in addition to participating in the hearing, 
    interested parties are invited to submit written statements (an 
    original and 14 copies) concerning the matters to be addressed by the 
    Commission in its report. Commercial or financial information that a 
    submitter desires the Commission to treat as confidential must be

    ``Confidential Business Information'' at the top. All submissions 
    requesting confidential treatment must conform with the requirements of 
    section Sec. 201.6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure

    to USTR. 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 parties. To be assured of 
    consideration by the Commission, written statements relating to the 
    Commission's report should be submitted to the Commission at the 
    earliest practical date and should be received no later than the close 
    of business on March 24, 1998. All submissions should be addressed to
