Background: The 2023 annual services trade report will provide
aggregate data on cross-border trade in services for 2017-2021 and
affiliate transactions in services for 2016-2020, and more specific
data and information on trade in distribution services (including e-
commerce, retail, logistics services, ports services, maritime
transport services, and other transportation services). The Commission
publishes two self-initiated annual reports, one on services trade
(Recent Trends in U.S. Services Trade), and a second on merchandise
trade (Shifts in U.S. Merchandise Trade). The Commission's 2022 Recent
Trends in U.S. Services Trade report is now available online at <a href="https://www.usitc.gov/research_and_analysis/recent_trends.htm">https://www.usitc.gov/research_and_analysis/recent_trends.htm</a>.
The initial notice of institution of this investigation was
published in the Federal Register on September 8, 1993 (58 FR 47287)
and provided for what is now the report on merchandise trade. The
Commission expanded the scope of the investigation to cover services
trade in a separate report, which it announced in a notice published in
the Federal Register on December 28, 1994 (59 FR 66974). The separate
report on services trade has been published annually since 1996, except
in 2005. As in past years, the report will summarize U.S. trade in
services in the aggregate and provide analyses of trends and
developments in selected services industries during the latest period
for which data are published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau
of Economic Analysis.
Written Submissions: Interested parties are invited to file written
submissions and other information concerning the matters to be
addressed by the Commission in its 2023 report. For the 2023 report,
the Commission is particularly interested in receiving information
relating to trade in distribution services (including e-commerce,
retail, logistics services, ports services, maritime transport
services, and other transportation services). Submissions should be
addressed to the Secretary. To be assured of consideration by the
Commission, written submissions related to the Commission's report
should be submitted at the earliest practical date and should be
received not later than 5:15 p.m., January 27, 2023. 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), as
temporarily amended by 85 FR 15798 (March 19, 2020). Under that rule
waiver, the Office of the Secretary will accept only electronic filings
at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's Electronic
Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>). No in-
person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic filings
will be accepted until further notice. Persons with questions regarding
electronic filing should contact the Office of the Secretary, Docket
Services Division (202-205-1802), or consult the Commission's Handbook
on Filing Procedures.
Confidential business information: Any submissions that contain
confidential business information (CBI) must also conform with the
requirements in section 201.6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (19 CFR 201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules requires that the
cover of the document and the individual pages be clearly marked as to
whether they are confidential or non-confidential, and that the
confidential business information be 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 intends to prepare only a public report in this
investigation. The report that the Commission makes available to the
public will not contain confidential business information. However, all
information, including confidential business information, submitted in
this investigation may be disclosed to and used: (i) by the Commission,
its employees and Offices, and contract personnel (a) for developing or
maintaining the records of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in
internal investigations, audits, reviews, and evaluations relating to
the programs, personnel, and operations of the Commission including
under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government employees and
contract personnel solely for cybersecurity purposes. The Commission
will not otherwise disclose any confidential business information in a
manner that would reveal the operations of the firm supplying the
information.
Summaries of Written Submissions: Persons wishing to have a summary
of their position included in the report should include a summary with
their written submission on or before January 27, 2023, and should mark
the summary as having been provided for that purpose. The summary
should be clearly marked as ``summary for inclusion in the report'' at
the top of the page. The summary may not exceed 500 words and should
not include any confidential business information. The summary will be
published as provided if it meets these requirements and is germane to
the subject matter of the investigation. The Commission will list the
name of the organization furnishing the summary and will include a link
to the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) where
the written submission can be found.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: December 15, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
