UNITED STATES – MEASURES RELATING TO ZEROING 
AND SUNSET REVIEWS 
 
Status Report by the United States
 
 
Addendum  
 
  The following communication, dated 10 June 2010, from the delegation of the United States to the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body, is  circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU. 
 
_______________  
 
 
Status Report Regarding Implementation of the
  
DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute   
United States – Measures Relating to Zeroing and Sunset Reviews   
(WT/DS322)  
  The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on 
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"). 
 
 On 23 January 2007, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and 
rulings in United States – Measures Relating to Zeroing and Sunset Reviews (WT/DS322). At the 
following DSB meeting, on 20 February 2007, the United States informed the DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in connection with this matter. The United 
States and Japan subsequently agreed that the r easonable period of time for the United States to 
implement the recommendations and rulings  of the DSB would end on 24 December 2007. 
 
 On 6 March 2006, the US Department of Commerce published a notice requesting comments 
on its intention to no longer perform average-to-a verage comparisons in anti-dumping investigations 
without offsets. On 26 January 2007, the Department  published a notice that the date after which it 
would no longer perform such comparisons woul d be 22 February 2007. Accordingly, as of 
22 February 2007, the United States is no longer pe rforming average-to-average comparisons in 
anti-dumping investigations without offsets.     With respect to the one investigation that Japan challenged "as applied", the United States 
issued a revised determination in connection w ith that investigation on 21 December 2007. On 
20 May 2008, the Department published a notice of im plementation of the revised determination, in 
which it calculated the anti-dumping duty margins with offsets.   On 31 August 2009, the DSB adopted the Appella te Body report, and the panel report, as 
modified by the Appellate Body report, regarding the recourse to Article 21.5 of the DSU by Japan. 
The United States will continue to consult with in terested parties in order to address the findings 
contained in these reports.
