INDIA - ADDITIONAL DUTIES ON CERTAIN PRODUCTS FROM THE UNITED STATES   
COMMUNICATION FROM THE PANEL  
The following communication, dated  16 December  2021, addressed to the Chairperson of the Dispute 
Settlement Body (DSB), is circulated in accordance with Article  12.9 of the Dispute Settlement 
Understanding (DSU).  
 
_______________  
 
 
Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes 
(DSU) provides that the period in which a panel shal l conduct its examination, from the date that 
the composition and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the date the final 
report is issued to the parties to the dispute, shall, as a general rule, not exceed six  months.  
 
Article 12.9 of the DSU provides that, when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report within 
six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing accordingly and indicate 
the reasons, together with an estimate of the period within which it w ill issue its report.  
 
The Panel on India − Additional Duties on Certain Products from the United States  (DS585) was 
established by the DSB on 28 October 2019 and composed on 7 January 2020.  
 
On 2 June 2020, the Panel informed the DSB that it did not expect to issue its report before the 
second quarter of 2021 d ue to the complexity of this dispute and the need to postpone the first 
substantive meeting of the Panel with the parties due to the global pandemic . Since COVID -
19-related travel and meeting re strictions continue to be in place, the Panel, in consultation with the 
parties, has decided to continue to postpone its first substantive meeting until such time as sanitary 
conditions allow for in -person meetings in Geneva. Bearing in mind that the uncer tain evolution of 
the pandemic makes planning somewhat provisional, the Panel at this stage hopes to be able to 
issue its Final Report in the second half of 2022.  
 
The report will only be available to the public once it is circulated to the Members in all three working 
languages of the WTO. The date of circulation depends on completion of translation and the Panel is 
not in a position to provide an estimated circulation date at this time.  
 
I would be grateful if you would circulate this letter to the DSB .

Final Rule:  Evaluation and Recognition of the Animal Health Status of Compartments [Docket 
No. APHIS -2017-0105]  
APHIS is establishing standards to allow it to recognize compartments for animal disease status, 
consistent with World Organization for Animal Health international standards. Under this action, wh en 
a foreign government submits a request for recognition of a compartment, APHIS will conduct a 
compartmentalization evaluation based on a list of factors that parallel those we use when conducting 
regionalization evaluations, and will provide for public notice of and comment on the risk assessment. 
The action also adds provisions for imposing import restrictions and/or prohibitions when a 
compartment it has recognized as disease -free experiences an outbreak and for lifting those sanctions 
once the outbrea k has been controlled. These proposed standards provide a tool that may be used to 
preserve international trade when regionalization is not feasible. (Federal Register Vol. 85, No. 40, 
Friday 28 February 2020)
