Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 47911 

of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202(c)) for 

being designated as a beneficiary 

country. Therefore, as provided for in 

section 208(a)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

3206(a)(3)), no duty free treatment or 

other preferential treatment extended 

under the ATPA remained in effect with 

respect to Bolivia after June 30, 2009. 

Further, Section 201 of the Omnibus 

Trade Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–344), 

which re-authorized the ATPDEA, 

terminated any duty free treatment or 

other preferential treatment available 

under ATPDEA to Peru, effective 

December 31, 2010. 

On February 12, 2011, the trade 

benefits conferred under the ATPDEA 

lapsed but were re-instated retroactively 

on October 21, 2011 for eligible 

countries (Colombia and Ecuador) via 

section 501 of the United StatesColombia Trade Promotion Agreement 

Implementation Act (CTPA) (19 U.S.C. 

3805 Note). As of May 15, 2012, with 

the entry into force of the CTPA, only 

Ecuador remained eligible for benefits 

under the program. 

Consistent with Section 3103(d) of the 

ATPDEA, USTR promulgated 

regulations (15 CFR part 2016) (68 FR 

43922) regarding the review of 

eligibility of articles and countries for 

the benefits of the ATPA, as amended. 

The 2012 Annual ATPA Review is the 

eighth such review to be conducted 

pursuant to the ATPA review 

regulations. To qualify for the benefits 

of the ATPA and ATPDEA, each country 

must meet several eligibility criteria, as 

set forth in sections 203(c) and (d), and 

section 204(b)(6)(B) of the ATPA, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 3202(c), (d); 19 

U.S.C. 3203(b)(6)(B)), and as outlined in 

the Federal Register notice USTR 

published to request public comments 

regarding the designation of eligible 

countries as ATPDEA beneficiary 

countries (67 FR 53379). Under section 

203(e) of the ATPA, as amended (19 

U.S.C. 3202(e)), the President may 

withdraw or suspend the designation of 

any country as an ATPA or ATPDEA 

beneficiary country, and may also 

withdraw, suspend, or limit preferential 

treatment for any product of any such 

beneficiary country, if the President 

determines that, as a result of changed 

circumstances, the country is not 

meeting the eligibility criteria. 

Notice is hereby given that, in order 

to be considered in the 2012 Annual 

ATPA Review, all petitions to withdraw 

or suspend the designation of a country 

as an ATPA or ATPDEA beneficiary 

country, or to withdraw, suspend, or 

limit application of preferential 

treatment to any article of any ATPA 

beneficiary country under the ATPA, or 

to any article of any ATPDEA 

beneficiary country under section 

204(b)(1), (3), or (4) (19 U.S.C. 

3202(b)(1), (3), (4)) of the ATPA, must 

be received by no later than 5 p.m. EDT 

on September 17, 2012. Petitioners 

should consult 15 CFR 2016.0 regarding 

the content of such petitions.

47912 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 

ACTION: Notice for public comment. 

SUMMARY: This Notice Announcement is 

a request for public comment on a 

proposal to decommission all 29 

Direction Finders (DF) and the 

associated DF approaches in Alaska. DF 

usage for pilot orientation has become 

almost non-existent. Since 2004, the 

Alaska Flight Service Information Area 

Group (AFSIAG) has documented eight 

flight assists that involved lost or 

disoriented pilots. Of these, the use of 

DF equipment was documented three 

times. Since 2008, there have been no 

flight assists, nor usage of DF equipment 

for orientation services. Newer 

technologies such as Global Positioning 

System (GPS) and Automatic Dependent 

Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS—B) have 

reduced the utilization of DF steers. 

Flight Service Stations have other tools 

available to assist lost or disoriented 

pilots, such as VOR, ADF, and GPS, that 

meet the needs of our aviation 

community. DF equipment is beyond its 

useful lifecycle.
