摘要

Pursuant to Executive Order 13141 (64 FR 63169), this publication gives notice that the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is initiating an environmental review of the multilateral trade negotiations on agriculture and services in the World Trade Organization (WTO). The Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) requests written comment from the public concerning what should be included in the scope of the environmental review (including the potential environmental effects that might flow from agreements on agriculture and services and the potential implications for environmental laws, regulations, and other obligations) and the best time to conduct the analysis.
