TITLE: Irish Potatoes Grown in Colorado and Imported Irish Potatoes; Relaxation of the Handling 
Regulation for Area No. 2 and Import Regulations 
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA 
ACTION: Final rule 
SUMMARY: This rule revises the minimum quantity exception for potatoes handled under the 
Colorado potato marketing order, Area No. 2 (order). The order regulates the handling of Irish 
potatoes grown in Colorado and is administered locally by the Colorado Potato Administrative 
Committee, Area No. 2 (Committee). This action increases the quantity of potatoes that may be handled under the order without regard to the or der's handling regulation requirements from 
1,000 to 2,000 pounds. The change in the import regulation is required under section 8e of the 
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937. This action allows for the importation which, in the 
aggregate, does not exceed 2,000 pounds for all other round type potatoes, except red skinned, round type or long type potatoes that continue  to remain at a 500 pound limit, to be imported 
without regard to the import regulations. This ac tion is expected to benefit producers, handlers, 
and importers. 
Effective date: 27 April 2015.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 
Canada donates CAD 50,000 for LD Cs' participation in Tenth 
Ministerial Conference 
The government of Canada is donating CAD 50,000 (CHF 38,368) to help least-developed 
countries (LDCs) participate in the WTO's Tenth Ministerial Conference, which will take place in 
Nairobi, Kenya, on 15-18 December. The Ministerial Conference is to be held in Africa for the first time since the WTO was created in 1995.  
WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo said: "Canada’s latest donation is very welcome in 
supporting least-developed countries' participation in the WTO’s Nairobi Ministerial Conference. It is essential that trade negotiations help these countries to integrate into the global economy."  
 
Canada's contribution will help to ensure that ministers from least-developed countries can fully participate in the multilateral trading system.    
Since 2002, Canada has donated CHF 12,098,798 to WTO trust funds.

NOTE DU PRÉSIDENT 
Conformément à l'article 24.3 de l'Accord sur les subventions et les mesures compensatoires, les 
experts faisant partie du Groupe d'experts permanent (GEP) "seront élus par le Comité et l'un 
d'eux sera remplacé chaque année". À l'heure actuelle, les membres du GEP sont les suivants: 
M. Zhang Yuqing (Chine); M. Welber Barral (Brésil ); M. Chris Parlin (États-Unis); M. Subash Pillai 
(Malaisie); et M. Ichiro Araki (Japon).  
Le mandat de M. Zhang Yuqing vient à expiration ce printemps. Par conséquent, le Comité devrait 
élire un nouvel expert pour remplacer M. Zhang à sa réunion ordinaire qui se tiendra pendant la 
semaine du 25 avril 2016. 
 
À cet effet, j'informe les Membres que j'ai l'intention de suivre la procédure déjà utilisée l'année dernière: 
 
 Date limite pour les nominations de candidats à ce poste: 29 février 2016, fermeture des 
bureaux. Toute nomination devra être accompagnée d'un CV complet du candidat. 
Veuillez noter que, dans un souci de transparence et d'équité, ce délai sera strictement appliqué. 
Aucune nomination reçue ultérieurement ne sera prise en compte. 
 Les nominations (y compris les CV) doivent être adressées à Clarisse Morgan 
(Clarisse.Morgan@wto.org ), avec copie à Seref Gokay Coskun ( Seref.Coskun@wto.org ). 
 
Le Secrétariat distribuera à toutes les délégations les CV de tous les candidats qui auront été reçus 
dans les temps. 
 Les candidats nominés devront satisfaire à la prescription énoncée à l'article 24.3, selon laquelle le GEP doit être composé de personnes indépendantes, hautement qualifiées dans les domaines des 
subventions et des relations commerciales. 
 
 Consultations avec le Président: Selon qu'il sera nécessaire, je serai disponible pendant 
la semaine du 7 mars pour des consultations individuelles avec les délégations 
intéressées. Je communiquerai en temps utile des renseignements spécifiques sur la 
marche à suivre pour solliciter une telle réunion. 
 Rapport de situation: Si nécessaire, à l'issue de ces consultations individuelles, et bien

Please submit comments to: USA WTO TBT Enquiry Point, Email: usatbtep@nist.gov  
3. Notified under Article 2.9.2 [ X], 2.10.1 [  ], 5.6.2 [  ], 5.7.1 [  ], other:  
4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff 
heading. ICS numbers may be provided in addition, where applicable): Transport 
category airplanes  
Aircraft and space vehicles in general (ICS 49.020).  
5. Title,  number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Yaw Maneuver 
Conditions  - Rudder Reversals (9 page(s), in English)   
6. Description of content: The FAA proposes to add a new load condition to the design 
standards for transport category airplanes. The new load condition would require the 
airplane be designed to withstand the loads caused by rapid reversals of the rudder pedals 
and would apply to transport category airplanes that have a powered rudder control 
surface or surfaces. This rule  is necessary because accident and incident data show that 
pilots sometimes make rudder reversals during flight, even though such reversals are 
unnecessary and discouraged by flightcrew training programs. The current design 
standards do not require the air plane structure to withstand the loads that may result from 
such reversals. If the airplane loads exceed those for which it is designed, the airplane 
structure may fail, resulting in catastrophic loss of control of the airplane. This proposal 
aims to preve nt structural failure of the rudder and vertical stabilizer that may result from 
these rudder reversals.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable: Protection of human health or safety  
8. Relevant documents:  83 Federal Register (FR) 32807, 16 July 2018; Title 14 Code of

delegation of the United States of America.

 TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Test  Procedures for Ceiling Fan Light Kits 
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy 
ACTION: Final rule 
SUMMARY: On 31 October 2014, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NOPR) to amend the test procedures for ceiling fan light kits (CFLKs). That 
proposed rulemaking serves as the basis for this final rule. In this final rule, DOE updates the 
current test procedures by replacing references to  ENERGY STAR test procedures with references 
to DOE lamps test procedures for medium screw base lamps and to industry test procedures for 
pin-based fluorescent lamps. DOE is also adding test procedures to establish an efficacy-based 
metric for all lamps packaged with CFLKs and for CFLKs with integrated solid-state lighting circuitry. These additional test procedures also specify that DOE lamp test procedures be used to test lamps packaged with CFLKs, and where such test procedures do not exist, lamps packaged 
with CFLKs be tested according to current industry test procedures for those lamps. This final rule 
also replaces references to superseded ENERGY  STAR Program requirements with tables that 
contain the specific performance requirements from  the ENERGY STAR documents. This final rule 
addresses standby and off mode energy usage for CFLKs. DOE also provides updated guidance 
related to accent lighting in CFLKs and the applicability of the existing energy conservation standards to accent lighting. In this final rule, DOE also reinterprets the definition of a ceiling fan 
to include hugger fans and clarifies that ceiling fans that produce large volumes of airflow also 
meet the definition. DOE is also issuing a reinterpretation as it relates to compliance with the 190 W limit requirement for CFLKs with sockets ot her than medium screw base and pin-based for 
fluorescent lamps. 
DATES: The effective date of this rule is 25 Janua ry 2016. The final rule changes to appendix V will 
be mandatory for product testing starting 21 June 2016. The final rule test procedures specified by appendix V1 will be mandatory for product testin g starting on the compliance date of any amended 
energy conservation standards (ECS) for CFLKs. An y final rule establishing amended CFLK ECS will 
provide notice of the required compliance date and corresponding required use of appendix V1. 
The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this rule was approved by the 
Director of the Federal Register as of 25 January 2016.
