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 [[Page 27780]] 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. Section 215(c)(2) of the CBERA requires that the
Commission provide an opportunity for the public, either orally or in
writing, or both, to submit to the Commission information relating to
matters that will be addressed in the reports. 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. Section 332(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides the Commission with general
authority to conduct factfinding investigations with respect to trade
and tariff matters. 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 tenth report, covering calendar year 1994,
is to be submitted by September 30, 1995.
Written Submissions: The Commission does not plan to hold a public
hearing in connection with the tenth annual report. However, interested
persons are invited to submit written statements concerning the matters
to be addressed in the report. Commercial or financial information that
a party 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

information, will be made available for inspection by interested
persons in the Office of the Secretary to the Commission. To be assured
of consideration by the Commission, written statements relating to the
Commission's report should be submitted at the earliest practical date
and should be received no later than July 14, 1995.
