International Bureau Seeks Comment on Draft Filing Manual for Proposed Section 43.62 Reports
Comment Date: August 18, 2011
Reply Comment Date: September 2, 2011
On May 13, 2011, the Commission released a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this docket. In the First Report and Order, the Commission eliminated a number of international reporting requirements. The Commission also sought comment on several changes to modernize and streamline the reports in the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM). As discussed in the FNPRM, the International Bureau has prepared a draft Manual for Filing Section 43.62 Annual Reports (“Draft Filing Manual”).
The attached Draft Filing Manual sets forth proposed instructions on how to file annual reports under section 43.62 if the Commission adopts all of the changes to the international reporting requirements discussed in the FNPRM. (The Commission, of course, may adopt only some of those changes, may adopt different changes based on the record in the proceeding, or may not adopt any of the proposed changes.) We seek comment on the Draft Filing Manual.
