  FEDERACIÓN DE RUSIA - MEDIDAS RELATIVAS A LA IMPORTACIÓN  
DE PORCINOS VIVOS, CARNE DE PORCINO Y OTROS PRODUCTOS  
DE PORCINO PROCEDENTES DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA  
COMUNICACIÓN DEL ÓRGANO DE APELACIÓN  
 La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 21 de noviembre de 2016, dirigida por el Presidente del 
Órgano de Apelación al Presidente del Órgano de Solución de Diferencias, se distribuye a los 
Miembros de conformidad con el párrafo 5 del artículo 17 del Entendimiento relativo a las normas 
y procedimientos por los que se rige l a solución de diferencias.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Le dirijo la presente comunicación de conformidad con el párrafo 5 del artículo 17 del 
Entendimiento relativo a las normas y procedimientos por los que se rige la solución de diferencias 
(ESD), que estipula que , por regla general, el Órgano de Apelación distribuirá su informe en un 
plazo que no excederá de 60 días contados a partir de la fecha en que el apelante haya notificado 
formalmente al Órgano de solución de Diferencias (OSD) su decisión de apelar . Dicho p árrafo 
dispone también que si el Órgano de Apelación considera que no puede rendir su informe dentro 
de los 60 días, comunicará por escrito al OSD los motivos del retraso, indicando el plazo en el que 
estima que podrá presentarlo.  
La Federación de Rusia no tificó al OSD el 23 de septiembre de 2016 su decisión de apelar respecto 
de determinadas cuestiones de derecho tratadas en el informe del Grupo Especial e 
interpretaciones jurídicas formuladas por el Grupo Especial en este asunto, por lo que el plazo 
de 60 días en este procedimiento finaliza el martes 22 de noviembre de 2016. 
El Órgano de Apelación hace frente a una considerable carga de trabajo , en la que hay varios 
procedimientos de apelación en paralelo y se produce una superposición en la composición de  las 
secciones que entienden en las distintas apelaciones . Además, como sabe, en los últimos meses el 
Órgano de Apelación ha estado integrado por solo cinco de los siete Miembros que lo componen en 
total.  
Debido a las dificultades de programación que se de rivan de estas circunstancias y a la falta de 
personal en la Secretaría del Órgano de Apelación, el Órgano de Apelación no podrá distribuir su 
informe en esta diferencia dentro del plazo de 60 días ni dentro del plazo de 90 días previsto en la 
última frase  del párrafo 5 del artículo 17 del ESD.  
La fecha de distribución del informe del Órgano de Apelación en esta apelación se comunicará a los 
participantes y terceros participantes poco después de la audiencia.

TITLE: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Portla nd Cement 
Manufacturing Industry  
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  
ACTION: Direct final rule  
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to amend the 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Portland Cement Manufacturing 
Industry. This direct final rule provides, for a period of 1 year, an additional compliance alternative 
for sources that would otherwise be required to use an HCl CEMS to demonstrate compliance with 
the HCl emissions l imit. This compliance alternative is needed due to the current unavailability of a 
calibration gas used for quality assurance purposes. This direct final rule also restores regulatory 
text requiring the reporting of clinker production and kiln feed rates t hat was deleted 
inadvertently.  
DATES: This rule is effective on 8 September 2016 without further notice, unless the EPA receives 
significant adverse comment by 24 August 2016. If the EPA receives significant adverse comment, 
we will publish a timely withdr awal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will 
not take effect.
