ITC to Conduct Factfinding Investigation on U.S. Trade of Medical Devices and Equipment
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) today announced that it has launched a general factfinding investigation regarding certain competitive conditions affecting U.S. trade of medical devices and equipment in principal foreign markets. The investigation, "Medical Devices and Equipment: Competitive Conditions Affecting U.S. Trade in Japan and Other Principal Foreign Markets", (Inv. No. 332-474), was requested by the House Ways and Means Committee.
The ITC will focus on the main U.S. exports of medical devices and equipment to these markets and compare Japan's regulatory conditions with those of the other major foreign markets for U.S.-made medical devices and equipment.
The ITC will hold a public hearing in connection with the investigation at 9:30 a.m. on July 11, 2006. Requests to appear at the public hearing should be filed with the Secretary, United States International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC, 20436, and must be received by June 27, 2006.
The ITC will provide its report to the Ways and Meams Committee by March 9, 2007.
