restrictions, import licensing, and customs barriers);

(2) Government procurement restrictions (e.g.,’’buy national policies’’ and closed bidding);

(3) Export subsidies (e.g., export financing on preferential terms and agricultural export subsidies that displace U.S. exports in third country markets);

(4) Lack of intellectual property protection (e.g., inadequate patent, copyright, and trademark regimes);

(5) Services barriers (e.g., limits on the range of financial services offered by foreign financial institutions, regulation of international data flows, restrictions on the use of data processing, quotas on imports of foreign films, and barriers to the provision of services by professionals);

(7) Government-tolerated anticompetitive conduct of state-owned or private firms that restrict the sale or purchase of U.S. goods or services in the foreign country’s markets;

(8) Trade restrictions affecting electronic commerce (e.g., tariff and non-tariff measures, burdensome and discriminatory regulations and standards, and discriminatory taxation); and

(9) Other barriers (e.g., barriers that encompass more than one category, such as bribery and corruption, or that affect a single sector).

In responding to this notice, commenters should place particular emphasis on any practices that may violate U.S. trade agreements. The TPSC is also interested in receiving new or updated information pertinent to the barriers covered in the 2012 NTE as well as information on new barriers. If USTR does not include in the NTE information that it receives pursuant to this notice, it will maintain the information for potential use in future discussions or negotiations with trading partners.

Estimate of Increase in Exports: Each comment should include an estimate of the potential increase in U.S. exports that would result from removing any foreign trade barrier the comment identifies, as well as a description of the methodology the commenter used to derive the estimate. Estimates should be expressed within the following value ranges: Less than $5 million; $5 to $25 million; $25 million to $50 million; $50 million to $100 million; $100 million to $500 million; or over $500 million. These estimates will help USTR conduct comparative analyses of a barrier’s effect over a range of industries.

Requirements for Submissions: Commenters providing information on foreign trade barriers in more than one country should, whenever possible, provide a separate submission for each country. Comments addressing SPS or standards-related measures should not be submitted in response to this request but should be submitted in response to the separate request for comments which will be forthcoming.

**Categorical Exclusion From Further Environmental Review for Standard** 
**Terminal Arrival Route Procedures and Standard Instrument Departure**  **Procedures for Washington Dulles International Airport** 

**AGENCY :**  Air Traffic Procedures Advisory Committee. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of its environmental review of two standard terminal arrival route (STAR) procedures and two standard instrument departure (SID) procedures at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, an evaluation has been performed on the two proposed STAR procedures and the two proposed SID procedures to determine the level of environmental review warranted. The FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further environmental review’’ the proposed STAR procedures identified as GIBBZ (RNAV) STAR and DOCCS STAR and the proposed SID procedures identified

as RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) SID.

**DATES :**  Effective upon publication. A Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) from environmental review does not require a formal public hearing or a formal public comment period prior to the Cat Ex becoming effective.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Ms. Lee Kyker, Environmental Specialist, Air Traffic Eastern Service Center, Operations Support Group, 1701 Columbia Ave., College Park, GA 30337.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Notice is hereby given that the FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further environmental review’’ the proposed procedures as follows: GIBBZ (RNAV) STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV)

SID.

Project: Publish GIBBZ (RNAV) STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV)

SID.

Location: Washington Dulles International Airport.

This project consists of publishing procedures identified as the GIBBZ (RNAV) STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) SID. On June 4, 2012, the BLUES (RNAV) SID was renamed to the
RNLDI RNAV SID. RNAV facilitates more efficient design of airspace and procedures which collectively result in improved safety, access, predictability, and operational efficiency. Improved access and flexibility for point-to-point operations help enhance reliability and reduce delays by defining more precise terminal area procedures. The review process indicated that the proposed project will not adversely impact the environment. Consequently, the FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude
from further environmental review’’ the proposed Standard Terminal Arrival procedures, based upon compliance with FAA Order 1050.1E, § 311(i).

Issued in Atlanta, GA, on August 1, 2012. Barry A. Knight,
Acting Manager, Operations Support Group FAA, Air Traffic, Eastern Service Center.

**Categorical Exclusion From Further Environmental Review for Standard** 
**Terminal Arrival Route Procedures for Ronald Reagan Washington National**  **Airport**

**AGENCY :**  Air Traffic Procedures Advisory Committee. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of its environmental review of two standard terminal arrival route (STAR) procedures, and one conventional arrival procedure, at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, an evaluation has been performed on the three proposed procedures to determine the level of environmental review warranted. The FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further environmental review’’ the three proposed arrival procedures identified as FRDMM1 (RNAV), TRUPS1 (RNAV) and NUMMY.

**DATES :**  Effective upon publication. A Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) from environmental review does not require a formal public hearing or a formal public comment period prior to the Cat Ex becoming effective.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Ms. Lee Kyker, Environmental Specialist, Air Traffic Eastern Service Center, Operations Support Group, 1701 Columbia Ave., College Park, GA 30337.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Notice is hereby given that the FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further environmental review’’ the proposed arrival procedures as follows: FRDMM1 (RNAV), TRUPS1 (RNAV), and
NUMMY.

Project: Publish FRDMM1 (RNAV), TRUPS1 (RNAV), and NUMMY.

Location: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).

This project consists of publishing RNAV arrival procedures identified as the FRDMM1 (RNAV) and the TRUPS1 (RNAV) and publishing the NUMMY conventional arrival procedure. RNAV facilitates more efficient design of airspace and procedures which collectively result in improved safety, access, predictability, and operational efficiency. Improved access and flexibility for point-to-point operations help enhance reliability and reduce delays by defining more precise terminal area procedures. The NUMMY is a conventional arrival procedure which accommodates the non-RNAV aircraft into the DC Metro area from the west. The review process indicated that the proposed project will not adversely impact the environment. Consequently, the FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further environmental review’’ the proposed procedures, based upon compliance with FAA Order 1050.1E, § 311(i).
