OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

connection with the 2010 GSP Annual 

Review, has received petitions to waive 

the competitive need limitations (CNLs) 

on imports of certain products that are 

eligible for duty-free treatment under 

the GSP program. This notice 

announces those petitions that have 

been accepted for further review. All 

other petitions have been rejected. 

Authorization of the GSP program 

expires on December 31, 2010. If and 

when the program is reauthorized, a 

schedule for submission of public 

comments and for a public hearing on 

the petitions will be announced in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GSP 

program provides for the duty-free 

importation of eligible articles when 

imported from designated beneficiary 

developing countries. The GSP program 

is authorized by Title V of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461, et seq.), as 

amended (the ‘‘1974 Act’’), and is 

implemented in accordance with 

Executive Order 11888 of November 24, 

1975, as modified by subsequent 

Executive Orders and Presidential 

Proclamations. 

In a Federal Register notice dated July 

15, 2010, USTR announced that the 

deadline for the filing of petitions 

requesting CNL waivers for the 2010 

GSP Annual Review was November 16, 

2010 (75 FR 41274). Of the petitions 

submitted in response to this 

notice, the GSP Subcommittee of the 

Trade Policy Staff Committee has 

accepted for review petitions on the 

following four products: (1) Lysine and 

its esters from Brazil (HTS 2922.41.00); 

(2) pneumatic tires from Sri Lanka (HTS 

4011.93.80); (3) certain rubber gloves 

from Thailand (HTS 4015.19.10); and (4) 

calcium silicon ferroalloys from 

Argentina (HTS 7202.99.20). 

Additional information regarding the 

petitions with respect to these articles is 

provided in the ‘‘List of CNL Waiver 

Submissions Accepted in the 2010 GSP 

Annual Review’’ that is posted on the 

USTR Web site (http://www.ustr.gov). 

Acceptance of a petition for review does 

not indicate any opinion with respect to 

the disposition on the merits of the 

petition. Acceptance indicates only that 

the listed petitions have been found 

eligible for review and that such review 

will take place. 

Section 505 of the Trade Act states 

that duty-free treatment provided under 

the GSP shall not remain in effect after 

December 31, 2010. If and when the 

program is reauthorized, a schedule for 

submission of public comments and for 

a public hearing on the petitions will be 

announced in the Federal Register. 

Receipt of Advice From the USITC 

In accordance with authority 

delegated to the U.S. Trade 

Representative by the President, the 

U.S. Trade Representative has 

requested, pursuant to section 332(g) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930 and in accordance 

with section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 

Act, that the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (USITC) provide its advice 

on whether any industry in the United 

States is likely to be adversely affected 

by a waiver of the CNL specified in 

section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act for 

the country specified with respect to the 

products cited above. The USITC has 

also been requested to provide advice as 

to the probable economic effect on U.S. 

industries producing like or directly 

competitive articles, on total U.S. 

imports, and on U.S. consumers.

BILLING CODE 3190–W1–P 

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

WTO Dispute Settlement Proceeding 

Regarding China—Subsidies on Wind 

Power Equipment 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the United 

States Trade Representative (‘‘USTR’’) is 

providing notice that on December 22, 

2010, in accordance with the Marrakesh 

Agreement Establishing the World Trade 

Organization (‘‘WTO Agreement’’), the 

United States requested consultations 

regarding certain subsidies provided by 

the People’s Republic of China (China) 

on wind power equipment. The 

consultation request addresses a 

measure of China entitled the 

‘‘Provisional Measures on 

Administration of Special Fund for 

Industrialization of Wind Power 

Equipment’’ (‘‘Wind Power Equipment 

Fund’’). The Wind Power Equipment 

Fund provides grants that appear to be 

contingent on the use of domestic over 

imported wind power equipment, and 

thus appears to be a prohibited subsidy 

that is inconsistent with China’s 

obligations under Article 3 of the 

Agreement on Subsidies and 

Countervailing Measures (‘‘SCM 

Agreement’’). In addition, as it appears 

that China has neither made available a 

translation of the measure into a WTO 

official language nor notified it to the 

WTO, China appears to have failed to 

comply with its transparency 

obligations under the WTO Agreement. 

USTR invites written comments from 

the public concerning the issues raised 

in this dispute. 

DATES: Although USTR will accept any 

comments received during the course of 

the dispute settlement proceedings, 

comments should be submitted on or 

before January 31, 2011, to be assured of 

timely consideration by USTR. 

ADDRESSES: Non-confidential comments 

(as explained below) should be 

submitted electronically via the Internet 

at http://www.regulations.gov, docket 

number USTR–2010–0036. If you are 

unable to provide submissions by 

www.regulations.gov, please contact
