§3204 International Trade Commission reports on impact of this chapter

Summary

The U.S. International Trade Commission must send a report to the President and Congress every two years about how this law affects U.S. industries and consumers, and how well it helps beneficiary countries stop growing illegal drug crops or switch to other crops. If another required report for that year is not sent, this report must be filed on December 31. Industries in Puerto Rico and U.S. island territories are treated as U.S. industries. Each report must explain the law’s actual effects during the covered period, the likely effects before the law ends, and its estimated impact on drug-crop eradication and crop substitution. The Commission must study production, trade, and use of affected products and look at things like jobs, profits, prices, wages, sales, inventories, investment, and equipment. It must describe any major changes it believes are caused by the law. The report must reach Congress within 9 months after the period covered, and the public must be allowed to give information in writing or by speaking.
