§3204 International Trade Commission Reports on Impact of This Chapter

Summary

The U.S. International Trade Commission must send reports every two years to the President and Congress about how this chapter affects the U.S. economy, U.S. industries (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. insular possessions), and how it has affected drug-related crop eradication and crop substitution in the beneficiary countries. When the report required by section 2704 is not sent, this report must be submitted on December 31 of that year. Each report must say what the chapter actually did during the period covered, what it is likely to do before it ends, and how it affected drug-crop programs. The Commission must analyze production, trade, and consumption and look at factors like employment, profits, use of factories or plants, prices, wages, sales, inventories, demand patterns, investment, aging equipment, and shifts in production. It must describe any important changes in jobs, profits, or use of facilities that it thinks came from the chapter. The report must reach Congress within 9 months after the covered period ends. The Commission must also let the public give information by speaking or writing.
