 NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE 12.1(A) OF THE 
AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS ON INITIATION OF  
AN INVESTIGATION AND THE REASONS FOR IT 
KYRGYZ REPUBLIC  
(Wheat flour) 
The following communication, dated 26 July 2013, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the Kyrgyz Republic. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
Pursuant to Article 12.1(a) of the Agreement on Safeguards, the Kyrgyz Republic hereby notifies 
the Committee on Safeguards with the following:  
 
1.  Specify the date when the investigation was initiated  
On 2 July 2013 in accordance with the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic on Safeguards N 141 dated 
31 October 1998 and in conformity with Decree of  Government of the Kyrgyz Republic dated 
27 June 2013 N 381 On the Initiation of Investigation and Implementation of Temporary Safeguards for import of wheat flour, the special investigation with simultaneous introduction of 
temporary safeguard measures was brought into action by the  competent authority of the Kyrgyz 
Republic (the Ministry of Economy of the Kyrgyz Republic) in respect of the import of wheat flour 
to the Kyrgyz Republic.  
 
A public notice was placed in local newspaper "Erkin Too" on 2 July 2013, N 55 (2321).  
2.  Specify the product subject to investigation  
 The product subject to investigation is wheat flour which is classified under the Kyrgyz Republic HS code number 1101 00 110 0, 1101 00 150 0. 
 
3.  Provide the reason for the initiation of investigation  
The preliminary analysis of import of wheat flour to the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic for the 
period from 2010 to 2012 determined the following:  
- comparing to 2010 the volume of import of flour in 2011 was increased for more than 
5.3 times and 4.35 times in 2012; 
 -  main financial and economic indicators of domestic producers of wheat flour for the 
period 2010-2012 are characterized by the negative dynamics; 
 -  workload of production capacities of domestic enterprises on flour production within 
the given period was decreased from 42.3% to 291%; 
 -  volume of flour production in 2010 compared to 2009 was decreased by 6.7% in 2011 
as compared to 2010 by 8.2%; 
 G/SG/N/6/KGZ/4 
 
- 2 - 
 
  -  specific weight of import in total consumption value of flour in Kyrgyzstan was 
increased from 5% in 2010 to 24.85% in 2012. In 1st quarter of 2013 this indicator 
was already 33%. 
 
However the volumes of flour import indicate the real potentiality for further significant growth and 
their level have suppressive effect on prices of domestic producers.  
On the basis of the above mentioned factors the Ministry of Economy of the Kyrgyz Republic took a 
decision to initiate investigation in relation to import of wheat flour to the Kyrgyz Republic.

TITLE: Minimum Quality and Handling Standards for Domestic and Imported Peanuts Marketed in 
the United States; Change to the Quality and Handling Requirements  
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA  
ACTION: Final rule  
SUMMARY: This rule implements a r ecommendation from the Peanut Standards Board (Board) to 
revise the minimum quality and handling standards for domestic and imported peanuts marketed 
in the United States (Standards). The Board advises the Secretary of Agriculture regarding 
potential chang es to the Standards and is comprised of producers and industry representatives. 
This action relaxes the allowance for damaged kernels in farmers stock peanuts when determining 
segregation. This change increases the allowance for damaged kernels under Segre gation 1 from 
not more than 2.49 percent to not more than 3.49 percent. The requirements for Segregation 2 
are also adjusted to reflect this change. The Board recommended this change to align the incoming 
standards with recent changes to the outgoing quali ty standards and to help increase returns to 
producers.  
Effective 1 February 2018.

TITLE: Transport Airplane Fuel Tank and System Lightning Protection  
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT  
ACTION: Final rule  
SUMMARY: The FAA is amending certain airworthiness regulations for transport category airplanes 
regarding lightning pr otection of fuel systems. This action is relieving in several ways. It removes 
the requirement for manufacturers to provide triple -redundant fault tolerance in lightning protection. 
It removes regulatory inconsistency by establishing a single standard for lightning protection of both 
fuel tank structure and fuel tank systems. It establishes a performance - based standard that the 
design and installation of fuel systems prevent catastrophic fuel vapor ignition caused by lightning 
and its effects. This perform ance-based standard allows applicants to choose how to provide the 
required level of safety. This action requires airworthiness limitations to preclude the degradation of 
design features that prevent catastrophic fuel vapor ignition caused by lightning. It s intended effects 
are to align airworthiness standards with industry's and the FAA's understanding of lightning, and to 
address issues of inconsistency and impracticality that applicants experienced with previous lightning 
protection regulations.
