House Trade Subcommittee Requests Comments on Duty Suspension and Reduction Bills

The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade announced yesterday is requesting written public comments on the numerous miscellaneous duty suspension and reduction bills that have been introduced in the House. The deadline for the public to submit written comments to the Committee is Friday, September 2, 2005. After the comment period, the Subcommittee will review all comments and determine which bills should be included in a miscellaneous trade package. The Subcommittee will consider the extent to which the bills create a revenue loss, operate retroactively, attract controversy, or are not administrable.
