Synthetic Organic Chemicals (SOC) Reports

The Commission has published both the annual and the quarterly reports on synthetic organic chemicals (SOC) on an annual basis since 1917 (the one exception being 1931). Beginning in 1982, the annual and quarterly data were collected and published through self-initiated Investigation No. 332-135 under the authority of section 332(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930. Effective May 13, 1988, that authority was changed to section 332(g) at the request of the House Committee on Ways and Means. Notice of this action was published in the Federal Register of May 25, 1988 (53 FR 18912). By letter of October 17, 1995, the Committee on Ways and Means requested that the Commission terminate publication of the quarterly and annual SOC Reports by October 1, 1996. Accordingly, the Commission will publish a final annual report in 1995 and quarterly reports covering all quarters through June 1996. The Commission will terminate the investigation effective October 1, 1996.
