For further information on using Regulations. gov, please consult the resources provided on the website by clicking“ How to Use Regulations. gov” on the bottom of the home page. USTR will not accept hand-delivered submissions.
The Regulations. gov website allows users to provide comments by filling in a“ Type Comment” field, or by attaching a document using an“ Upload File” field. USTR prefers that you provide comments as an attached document in Microsoft Word(. doc) or Adobe Acrobat(. pdf) format. If the submission is in another file format, please indicate the name of the software application in the“ Type Comment” field. File names should reflect the name of the person or entity submitting the comments. Please do not attach separate cover letters to electronic submissions; rather, include any information that might appear in a cover letter in the comments themselves. To the extent possible, please include any exhibits, annexes, or other attachments in the same file as the comment itself, rather than submitting them as separate files.
For any comments submitted electronically that contain business confidential information( BCI), the file name of the business confidential version should begin with the characters“ BCI”. Any page containing business confidential information must be clearly marked“ BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL” on the top of that page and the submission should clearly indicate, via brackets, highlighting, or other means, the specific information that is business confidential. A filer requesting business confidential treatment must certify that the information is business confidential and would not customarily be released to the public by the submitter. Filers of submissions containing business confidential information also must submit a public version of their comments. The file name of the public version should begin with the character“ P”. Follow the“ BCI” and“ P” with the name of the person or entity submitting the comments. Filers submitting comments containing no BCI should name their file using the name of the person or entity submitting the comments.
