 TITLE: Modification of Significant New Uses of Certain Chemical Substances 
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
ACTION: Final rule 
SUMMARY: EPA is amending the significant new us e rules (SNURs) under section 5(a)(2) of the 
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for five chemical substances which were the subject of 
premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action amends the SNURs to allow certain uses without 
requiring a significant new use notice (SNUN), and extends SNUN requirements to certain additional uses. EPA is amending these SNURs ba sed on review of new data for each chemical 
substance. This action requires persons who intend to manufacture (including import) or process 
any of these chemical substances for an activity th at is designated as a significant new use by this 
rule to notify EPA at least 90 da ys before commencing that activity. The required notification would 
provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or 
limit that activity before it occurs. 
DATES: This final rule is effective 12 January 2016. https://members.wto.org/crnattachments/2015/TBT/USA/15_4576_00_e.pdf

SOLICITUD DE CELEBRACIÓN DE CONSULTAS PRESENTADA 
POR EL JAPÓN DE CONFORMID AD CON EL PÁRRAFO 3 DEL 
ARTÍCULO 12 DEL ACUERDO SOBRE SALVAGUARDIAS 
JAPÓN 
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 3 de abril de 2013, se distribuye a petición de la delegación 
del Japón.  
_______________ 
 
 Con referencia a la notificación (G/SG/N/8/UKR/3, G/SG/N/10/UKR/3, G/SG/N/11/UKR/1) 
presentada por el Gobierno de Ucrania ("Ucrania"), las autoridades de mi país me han 
encomendado que les transmita la solicitud del Gobierno del Japón ("Japón") de celebración de consultas con Ucrania de conformidad con el párrafo 3 del artículo 12 del Acuerdo sobre 
Salvaguardias de la OMC ("Acuerdo sobre Salvaguardias"), en su calidad de Miembro que tiene un 
interés sustancial como exportador de los productos de que se trata.  Con arreglo al párrafo 3 del artículo 12 del Acuerdo sobre Salvaguardias, antes de la aplicación de 
cualquier medida de salvaguardia se dará oportunidades adecuadas para que se celebren consultas 
previas. Asimismo, se ha de facilitar toda la información pertinente en virtud de los apartados b) y c) del párrafo 1 y el párrafo 2 del artículo 12. 
 
Como se ha indicado en la comunicación presentada por el Japón al Comité de Salvaguardias, de fecha 23 de mayo de 2012 (G/SG/W/224), la celebración por el Gobierno de Ucrania de una breve 
reunión el 19 de abril de 2012 a fin de explicar los resultados de la investigación no es suficiente 
para cumplir la obligación que corresponde a ese país en virtud del párrafo 3 del artículo 12 del Acuerdo sobre Salvaguardias.  
La solicitud no prejuzga la posición del Japón acerca de si la información proporcionada y el 
período comprendido entre las notificaciones y la aplicación de la medida propuesta son suficientes para permitir un intercambio significativo, como prescribe el párrafo 3 del artículo 12. El Japón se 
reserva todos los derechos que le correspon den en virtud del Acuerdo sobre la OMC. 
 El Japón espera con interés la respuesta de Ucrania a esta solicitud y confía en que puedan fijarse 
una fecha y un lugar mutuamente aceptables para las consultas.

NOTIFICATION COMPLÈTE DE HONG KONG, CHINE1 
La communication ci-après, datée du 24 janvier 2014, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation 
de la Nouvelle-Zélande. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
Nous nous félicitons de la notification par Hong Kong, Chine de ses programmes affectant le secteur de la pêche, qui s'inscrit, selon nous, dans le contexte de l'engagement pris à la 
Conférence Rio+20 de 2012 d'améliorer encore la transparence et la communication de données 
sur les programmes de subventions au secteur de la pêche dans le cadre de l'OMC. Les chefs 
d'État réunis à Rio ont par ailleurs encouragé les États à éliminer les subventions qui contribuent à 
la surcapacité de pêche et à la surpêche et à s'abstenir d'en instaurer de nouvelles ou d'étendre et 
de renforcer celles qui existent déjà. Nous considérons également cette notification comme une contribution importante au mandat de Doha visant "à clarifier et à améliorer les disciplines de l'OMC concernant les subventions aux pêcheries". 
Fonds de prêt pour le développement de la pê che et Fonds de prêt de l'Organisation de 
commercialisation des produits de la pêche 
En ce qui concerne ce programme, Hong Kong, Chine peut-elle: 
 identifier les zones géographiques de pêche (par exemple eaux territoriales, ZEE, haute 
mer) et les espèces (par exemple les espèces visées et celles qui correspondent à des prises accessoires) affectées par le programme; 
 préciser où en est actuellement le programme, pendant combien de temps il est censé être 
appliqué et comment son budget va évoluer tout au long de sa mise en œuvre?
