R00300-015 The Effects of Pollution Abatement on International Trade. OMB Funding Code/Title: 13-1250-0-1-376 / Operations and administration Congressional Relevance: House Committee on Public Works and Transportation; Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Authority: Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (P.L. 92-500, § 6(b); 86 Stat. 898; 33 U.S.C. 1251 note). Requirement: The Secretary of Commerce shall make reports at least annually to the President and to the Congress setting forth the results of investigations of the potential economic impact of evolving pollutioncontrol programs in the United States and abroad, with special emphasis on the effects on comparable prices of domestic and imported goods. Abstract: The report discusses the extent to which pollution abatement and control programs will be imposed on or voluntarily undertaken by U.S. manufacturers in the near future, and the probable short- and long-range effects of the costs of such programs (computed to the greatest extent practical on an industry-by-industry basis) on the production costs of the manufacturers and the market prices of the goods purchased by them. Also contained in the report is the probable extent to which pollution abatement and control programs will be implemented in foreign industrial nations in the near future. The extent to which the production costs (again, on an industry-by-industry basis, wherever practical) of foreign manufacturers will be affected by the costs of such programs is discussed. The report includes an analysis of the probable competitive advantage that any article manufactured in a foreign nation will likely have in relation to a comparable article made in the United States if that foreign nation does not require its manufacturers to implement pollution abatement and control programs, requires a lesser degree of pollution abatement and control programs, or in any way reimburses or otherwise subsidizes its manufacturers for the cost of such programs.
