rules of origin for applying the tariff
provisions of the NAFTA to trade in
goods. Section 202(q) of the NAFTA
Implementation Act (the Act) authorizes
the President, subject to the
consultation and layover requirements
of section 103 of the Act, to proclaim
such modifications to rules of origin as
may from time to time be agreed to by
the NAFTA countries. One of the
requirements set out in section 103 of
the Act is that the President obtain
advice from the United States
International Trade Commission.
In the request letter, the USTR asked
that the Commission provide advice on
the probable economic effect of the
proposed modifications on U.S. trade
under the NAFTA, on total U.S. trade,
and on domestic industries. The
investigation covers a wide variety of
articles, including edible preparations;
mineral fuels; chemical products;
plastics; rubber articles; cork; glass and
glassware; copper, nickel, and other
base metals; machinery and parts; rail
locomotives; trailers; optical and
medical instruments; furniture; toys and
games; lighters; and smoking pipes. The
USTR attached to the request letter a list
of the proposed modifications to the
NAFTA Rules of Origin. On March 19,
2013, USTR provided the Commission
with an additional document making
certain clarifications to the list of
modifications in the attachment to the
March 11, 2013, letter in the form of a
correlation table for certain tariff lines
for Canada and Mexico. The request
letter, the complete list of proposed
modifications, and the clarifying
correlation table are available on the
Commission’s Web site at http://
www.usitc.gov/research_and_analysis/
What_We_Are_Working_On.htm. As
requested, the Commission will provide
its advice to USTR by November 12,
2013.
Written Submissions: No public
hearing is planned. However, interested
parties are invited to file written
submissions and other information
concerning the matters to be addressed
in this investigation. All written
submissions should be addressed to the
Secretary. To be assured of
consideration by the Commission,
written submissions relating to the
Commission’s advice should be
submitted at the earliest possible date,
and should be received not later than
5:15 p.m. June 4, 2013. All written
submissions must conform to the
provisions of section 201.8 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8
and the Commission’s Handbook on
Filing Procedures require that interested

of a document is requested, interested
parties must file, at the same time as the

additional true paper copies in which
the confidential information must be
deleted (see the following paragraph for
further information regarding

Persons with questions regarding
electronic filing should contact the
Secretary (202–205–2000).
Any submissions that contain
confidential business information must
also conform to the requirements of

requires that the cover of the document
and the individual pages be clearly
marked as to whether they are the
‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’
version, and that the confidential
business information is clearly
identified by means of brackets. All
written submissions, except for
confidential business information, will
be made available for inspection by
interested parties.
The Commission may include some or
all of the confidential business
information submitted in the course of
this investigation in the report it sends
to the USTR and the President. As
requested, the Commission will issue a
public version of its report, with any
confidential business information
deleted, shortly after it transmits its
