Request for Comments Concerning Proposed Transatlantic Trade and  
Investment Agreement

On March 20, 2013, the United States Trade Representative (USTR)  
notified Congress of the Administration's intention to enter into  
negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership  
(TTIP) agreement with the European Union (EU) aimed at achieving a  
substantial increase in transatlantic trade and investment. Before  
initiating such negotiations, the Trade Act of 1974 requires that,  
with respect to any proposed trade agreement, any interested persons  
be afforded an opportunity to present his or her view regarding any  
matters related to the proposed trade agreement. Accordingly, USTR is  
seeking public comments on the proposed TTIP, including regarding U.S.  
interests and priorities, in order to develop U.S. negotiating  
positions. Comments may be provided in writing and orally at a public  
hearing.
