Background

    Section 215(a) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) 
(19 U.S.C. 2704(a)) requires that the Commission submit annual reports 
to the Congress and the President on the impact of the act on 
industries and consumers in the United States. Section 215(b) of the 
CBERA requires the Commission to assess the actual effect of the act on 
the United States economy generally as well as on appropriate domestic 
industries and to assess the probable future effects of the act. The 
Commission instituted the present investigation under section 332(b) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(b)) on March 21, 1986, for the 
purpose of gathering and presenting such information on the CBERA. 
Notice of institution of the investigation and the schedule for such 
reports was published in the Federal Register of May 14, 1986 (51 FR 
17678). The ninth report, covering calendar year 1993, is to be 
submitted by September 30, 1994.

with the ninth annual report. However, interested persons are invited 
to submit written statements concerning the matters to be addressed in 
the report. Statements also are invited on the potential effects of the 
North American Free-Trade Agreement on U.S. imports under the CBERA.

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

Procedure (19 CFR 201.6). All written submissions, except for

Commission. To be assured of consideration by the Commission, written
