TITLE: Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (19 -1.B) 
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  
ACTION: Final rule  
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control 
Act (TSCA) for the chemic al substances identified in Unit IV. which were the subject of 
premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action requires persons to notify EPA least 90 days before 
commencing manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these 
chemic al substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule. The 
required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the intended use within the applicable review 
period. Persons may not commence manufacture or processing for the  significant new use until 
EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and 
has taken such actions as are required as a result of that determination.  
DATES: This rule is effective on 19 May 2020. For purposes o f judicial review, this rule shall be 
promulgated at 1 p.m. (EST) on 3 April 2020.

IMPORT LICENSING SYSTEM OF PANAMA  
QUESTIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES TO PANAMA  
The following submission, dated 22 March 2022, is being circulated at the request of the delegation 
of the United States.  
 
_______________  
 
 
The United States of America understands that periodic volume limits for onion imports are 
recommended by the Potato and Onion Agri -Food Chain  (Agri-Food Chain) , endorsed by the Ministry 
of Agriculture (MIDA), and enforced by the Panamanian Food Agency  (APA) .   
Accor ding to the Technical Unit of the Agri -Food Chain's Proposal for Importation for the Agricultural 
Period 2021 -2022, the United States understands  that the Agri -Food Chain approved import volumes 
according to a supply analysis and that the Directorate of Ag ricultural Trade Policy and the Technical 
Unit of Agri -Food Chains awarded percentages of imports based on the percentage of national 
purchases . The volume limits appear  to be a type of quantitative restriction  and require importers 
to provide proof of tot al domestic onions purchased from January -May 2021 to receive import 
quantity allocations. The United States  is concerned by MIDA's decision taken in May 2021 to limit 
volumes to importers who meet these requirements established by the Agri -Food Chain. 
The United  States further understands once importers meet these requirements, and receive the 
allocated volumes, they must request approval through APA's prior notification system within 48 
hours upon arrival for the imports to be cleared through Panamanian C ustoms Authority.  
• Please identify the measures, including the documents and their source,  for the domestic 
purchase requirements .  
• What is the legal basis  and objective  for the domestic purchase requirements?  
• Please explain how the Potato and Onion Agri-Food Chain calculate the admissible volume 
quantities  using the supply analysis . 
• How does the Agri -Food Chain calculate the quantities for domestic purchase requirement?  
When does Panama intend to submit notifications to the WTO related to the domesti c purchase 
requirement s?

NOTIFICATION AU TITRE DE L'ARTICLE  22 DE L'ACCORD SUR  LA MISE  
EN ŒUVRE DE L'ARTICLE VII DE L'ACCORD GÉNÉRAL SUR LES  
TARIFS DOUANIERS ET LE COMMERCE DE  1994  
QUESTIONS POSÉES PAR LES ÉTATS -UNIS À L' INDE 
CONCERNANT LE DOCUMENT G/VAL/Q/IND/2  
INDE 
La communication ci -après, datée du 1 1 mai 2022, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation des 
États-Unis. 
_______________  
 
Les États -Unis remercient l'Inde pour les réponses qu'elle a fournies dans le document 
G/VAL/Q/IND/2 aux quest ions qu'ils ont posées dans le document G/VAL/W/338 . Les États -Unis 
demandent qu'il soit répondu aux questions complémentaires ci -après concernant ces réponses:  
Réponse à la question n°  7 
La réponse de l'Inde à la question n°  7 figurant dans le document G/ VAL/Q/IND/2 fournit une 
explication au sujet de sa réponse à la question n°  6 de la liste de questions figurant dans le 
document G/VAL/N/2/IND/2 . Elle indique que "si l'importateur n'est pas en mesure de déclarer les 
coûts réels, afin de permettre l'évalua tion dans les temps de la valeur et le dédouanement des 
marchandises, il est prévu de pouvoir ajouter de tels coûts, selon un taux moyen" . La règle  10 2) 
du Règlement de 2007 sur l'évaluation en douane (Détermination de la valeur des marchandises 
importées ) prévoit que si "les frais de transport  … ne peuvent pas être déterminés, ces frais 
représentent 20 % de la valeur f.a.b. des marchandises", que les frais de chargement, de 
déchargement et de manutention "représenteront 1 % de la valeur f.a.b. des marchandises" et que 
le coût de l'assurance qui ne peut pas être déterminé "représente 1,125 % de la valeur f.a.b. des 
marchandises".  
Le commentaire  21.1 du Comité technique de l'évaluation en douane de l'Organisation mondiale des 
douanes dispose ce qui sui t: "3. L'Accord de l'OMC sur l'évaluation établit un système d'évaluation 
reposant sur la valeur réelle des marchandises, et non pas sur une valeur théorique ou estimée . Aux 
termes de l'article 8.3, tout ajustement apporté conformément à l'article 8 sera " fondé 
exclusivement sur des données objectives et quantifiables" . Il s'ensuit que la déduction au titre des 
frais de transport inclus dans les prix c. & f. et c.a.f. doit être effectuée sur la base des frais réels . 
Les frais réels seraient constitués par l es montants finalement payés, par exemple, au transporteur 
ou au transitaire international en échange du transport des marchandises faisant l'objet de la 
transaction."  
Étant donné qu'un "taux moyen" ad valorem  allant jusqu'à 22 % de la valeur f.a.b. de la marchandise 
ne reflète pas des "frais réels"  ("actual cost") , comment l'utilisation de ces taux par l'Inde 
respecte -t-elle l'article  8:3 de l'Accord sur l'évaluation en douane et le commentaire  21.1?  
Réponse à la question n°  10 
L'Inde pourrait -elle fournir  un lien Internet ou une copie de la Circulaire n°  20/1997 -Douanes du 
17 juin 1997?
