The new format will reduce the time period for submission of comments on foreign or domestic policy issues from four weeks to three. Copies of comments received will then be made available to interested parties requesting them. Additional comments may be submitted during the week following the deadline for submission of initial comments. The request for comment also will require that, in comments concerning domestic policy issues, reference be made to the portion of the Commission hearing record in which the issue was presented so that those wishing to answer may review that record. If no such presentation was made to the Commission, the party submitting the comment must include a statement explaining the failure to present the issue to the Commission. The U.S. Trade Representative will be reluctant to review domestic policy issues which could have been presented tc the Commission but were not. Comments on foreign policy issues need not refer to the Commission record since review of foreign policy is solely wilhin the President's purview. This change in format is beinn made to encourage both those representing parties to the Commission investigation, and these representing any other interested party that might be affected by the determination of tiie Commission in any section 337 action, to present public policy issues to the Commission during its hearings on relief, bonding and the public interest. Such a presentation wil give other parties an opportunity to answer and will provide a more thorough record regarding domestic policy issues than genorally has been available in the past. The limited period provided for review of domestic and foreign policy issues makes it difficult to evaluate thoroughly domestic policy issues which ore presented for the first time in response to a request for comments from this Office. Inclusion of a thorough -presentation of those issues in the Commission record would permit a more thorough evaluation of foreign policy issues which might be present in a given investigation.
