On October 22, 1969, the Tariff Commission on its own motion instituted an investigation on nonrubber footwear, the subject of its report No. 332-56 of January 1969. The purpose of this investigation, conducted under section 332 of the Tariff Act of 1930, was-

to obtain, and to make available to interested
persons both inside and outside of Government at
the earliest practicable date, additional data--
particularly that pertaining to the period
January 1968 through June 1969 and supplementing
that contained in the aforementioned report--re-
quired for an understanding of the competitive
relationships between imported non-rubber footwear
and domestically produced footwear and the effect
of these imports upon U.S.. producers. 1/

No hearing was held in connection with this second investigation on nonrubber footwear (No. 332-62), but interested parties desiring to furnish relevant data were urged to submit written statements. In addition to the data

submitted by interested parties, the information

in this report was obtained through independent research and inquiry by the Commission's staff, from material in the Commission's files, and from other Government agencies.

Occasion for investigation

Since the release of its earlier report to the President on nonrubber footwear in January 1969, the Commission has continued to keep under review developments relating to domestic production and imports of nonrubber footwear. Meanwhile, an Interagency Task Force created

1/ Notice of investigation that was posted at the office of the Commission in Washington, D.C. and at its office in New York City, and was published in the Federal Register (34 F.R. 17465).
