    Background: The Commission has prepared and published annual 
reports on U.S. trade shifts in selected industries/commodity areas 
under investigation No. 332-345 since 1993. Beginning in 2004, the 
Commission converted the report to an exclusively Web-based format 
(with added focus on sectoral issues) that can be accessed 
electronically. The initial notice of institution of this investigation 
was published in the Federal Register of September 8, 1993 (58 FR 
47287). The Commission expanded the scope of this investigation to 
cover services trade in a separate report, which it announced in a 
notice published in the Federal Register of December 28, 1994 (59 FR 
66974). The merchandise trade report has been published in the current 
series under investigation No. 332-345 annually since September 1993.
    This year's Web-based format identifies the key trends affecting 
principal foreign markets and 10 major U.S. sectors.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued October 15, 2010.
William R. Bishop,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
