**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 March 30, 2012, the United States requested establishment of a dispute settlement panel under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (‘‘WTO Agreement’’). That request may be found at www.wto.org contained in a document designated as WT/DS316/23. 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 May 21, 2012 to be assured of timely consideration by USTR.

**ADDRESSES :**  Public comments should be submitted electronically to www.regulations.gov, docket number USTR–2012–007.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Willis S. Martyn, Associate General Counsel, or Frank J. Schweitzer, Associate General Counsel, Office of the United States Trade Representative, 600 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20508, (202) 395–3150.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Section 127(b)(1) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (19 U.S.C. 3537(b)(1)) requires that notice and opportunity for comment be provided after the United States submits or receives a request for establishment of a WTO dispute settlement panel. Consistent with this obligation, USTR is providing notice that it has requested a panel pursuant to the WTO Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (‘‘DSU’). Once it is established, the panel will hold its meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, and could issue a report on its findings and recommendations as soon as three months after its establishment. Major Issues Raised by the United States

On June 1, 2011, the Dispute Settlement Body (‘‘DSB’’) adopted its recommendations and rulings in the dispute European Communities and Certain Member States—Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft (DS316) (‘‘EC—Large Civil Aircraft’’). The DSB ruled that the following are specific subsidies within the meaning of Articles 1 and 2 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (‘‘SCM Agreement’’) that caused adverse effects to U.S. interests within the meaning of Articles 5(c) and 6.3(a), (b), and (c) of that Agreement:

• Grants of launch aid/member State financing (‘‘LA/MSF’’) by the European Union (‘‘EU’’) member state governments of France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom to Airbus for the A300, A310, A320, A330, A340, A330–200, A340–500/600, and A380;

• The provision of the Mu  ̈ hlenberger Loch site and the lengthened Bremen Airport Runway;

• Grants by authorities in Germany and Spain for the construction of manufacturing and assembly facilities in Nordenham, Germany, and Sevilla, La Rinconada, Toledo, Puerto de Santa Maria, and Puerto Real, Spain, and by the government of Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha to Airbus in Puerto Real, Sevilla, and Illescas (Toledo);

• The 1989 acquisition by Kreditanstalt fu  ̈ r Wiederaufbau (‘‘KfW’’) of a 20 percent equity interest in Deutsche Airbus and the 1992 transfer by KfW of its 100 percent equity interestin Deutsche Airbus to MesserschmittBo

 ̈ lkow-Blohm GmbH (‘‘MBB’’); and

• The 1987, 1988, 1992, and 1994 equity infusions to Ae  ́ rospatiale. The DSB recommended that the EU and certain member States bring their WTO-inconsistent measures into compliance with their obligations under the SCM Agreement.

On December 1, 2011, the EU transmitted a document (‘‘EU Notification’’) to the United States and the DSB claiming that the EU had brought its measures fully into conformity with the DSB recommendations and rulings. The EU notification included a list of 36 ‘‘appropriate steps’’ taken by the EU to bring its measures into conformity with the EU’s WTO obligations. Upon review of the notification, the United States did not agree with the EU’s position that the EU had fully complied with the DSB recommendations and rulings. Accordingly, the United States requested consultations on December 9, 2011. The United States and the EU held consultations on January 13, 2012. The consultations failed to resolve the dispute.

Article 7.8 of the SCM Agreement provides that a Member found to maintain measures inconsistent with Article 5(c) and 6.3 of the SCM Agreement ‘‘shall take appropriate steps to remove the adverse effects or shall withdraw the subsidy.’’ The United States considers that the EU has done neither of these with regard to the measures identified above. As there is ‘‘disagreement as to the existence or consistency with a covered agreement of measures taken to comply with the recommendations and rulings’’ of the DSB, the United States is seeking recourse to Article 21.5 of the DSU.

The United States has requested that the Article 21.5 panel consider the following matters. With respect to the measures the EU has identified in the
