6-benciladenina – Exención del cump limiento de niveles de tolerancia
 
 
 El reglamento establece una exención del cumpli miento de niveles de tolerancia de residuos 
del plaguicida bioquímico 6- benciladenina (6-BA) en el interior o en la superficie de las peras, cuando 
se aplique/emplee como fitorregulador. 
 
 La disposición notificada entra en vigor el 21 de marzo de 2007.  Las objeciones y solicitudes 
de audiencia deben recibirse a más tardar el 21 de mayo de 2007, identificadas con el número del expediente de consulta ( docket ) EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0325. 
 
 El texto del addendum (norma de finitiva) se puede consultar en:  Federal Register : 21 de 
marzo de 2007 (Volume 72, Nº 54) Norm as y reglamento, páginas 13174 a 13179 
http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2007/March/Day-21/p1386.htm. 
  Esta medida se refiere al aviso publicado en el Federal Register  de 19 de abril de 2006 
(71 FR 20100) (FRL-8058-1), en el que la EPA anunció la recepción de la solicitud PP 6F7035 
relativa a los niveles de tolerancia de los residuos del plaguicida.  Se solicitó el establecimiento de una 
exención del cumplimiento del nivel de tolerancia de los residuos de 6-benciladenina (6-BA) en el 
interior o en la superficie de las peras, cuando se emplee en dosis inferior o igual a 182 g por acre 
(aproximadamente 0,40 Ha) y por estación.  
 Se recibió una observación informal contraria a la publicación de una norma definitiva.  El 
firmante expresó su preocupación relativa al peligro  conexo con el uso de fitorreguladores en general, 
expuso la creencia no funda da de que era necesario llevar a cabo más pruebas, y mostró su rechazo 
global al establecimiento de una exención del establ ecimiento de un nivel de tolerancia, tal como se 
pedía en la solicitud pertinente relativa al 6-BA.

UNITED STATES – CONTINUED DUMPING AND 
SUBSIDY OFFSET ACT OF 2000 
 
Status Report by the United States
 
 
Addendum  
   The following communication, dated 10 March 2005, 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 Disputes United States – Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000  
(WT/DS217 and WT/DS234)  
   The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on 
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes.  
 
 On 27 January 2003, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and 
rulings in United States – Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000  (WT/DS217 and 
WT/DS234).  At the same DSB meeting, the United States informed the DSB of its intention to 
implement the recommendations and rulings of  the DSB in connection with this matter. 
 
 In the previous US Congress, on 19 June 2003, legislation that would bring the Continued 
Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 into conformity with US obligations under the 
Anti-Dumping Agreement, the Subsidies Agreemen t and the GATT 1994 was introduced in the US 
Senate (S. 1299).  On 10 March 2004, legislati on that would repeal the Continued Dumping and 
Subsidy Offset Act was introduced in the US House of Representatives (H.R. 3933). 
 
 On 7 February 2005, the US Administration proposed repeal of the CDSOA in its budget proposal for fiscal year 2006.  On 3 March 2005, legislation that would repeal the Continued 
Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act was introduced in  the US House of Representatives (H.R. 1121).  
That bill has been referred to th e Committee on Ways and Means. 
 
 The US Administration will work with the current Congress to enact legislation, and will continue to confer with the complaining parties in these disputes, in order to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of this matter.
