### 25402 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 86 / Wesnesday, May 4, 2011 / Notices

301(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Trade Act. Here, the petition fails to include sufficient information on burdens or restrictions on U.S. commerce arising from the alleged restrictions under German law on access to the German bar aptitude examination. The petition does not establish the volume of trade in legal services involved or how that volume is impacted by the restrictions in question. See also 15 CFR 2006.1(a)(7) (requiring that a petition contain information on the burden or restriction on U.S. commerce.)

Third, the initiation of a Section 301 investigation in response to the petition would not be an effective means to address the matters raised in the petition. See Section 302(c) of the Trade Act. According to the petition, Mr. Haver previously raised his claims under the FCN Treaty in German courts, and the German courts have rejected those claims. Mr. Haver claims that the German courts’ interpretation of the FCN Treaty is erroneous.

The FCN Treaty does include a dispute settlement mechanism: disputes between the parties regarding the interpretation or application of the FCN Treaty may be submitted to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). An ICJ proceeding, however, would not be an effective tool for purposes of Section 301 of the Trade Act. In particular, under the statutory provisions applicable to the allegations in the petition, the Trade Representative would have to conclude the investigation, and decide what action to take under Section 301, within 12 months. See Section 304(a)(2)(B) of the Trade Act. An ICJ proceeding conducted pursuant to the FCN Treaty would typically take longer than 12 months. For this and other reasons, initiation of an investigation under Section 301 would not be an effective means to address the alleged restrictions on access to the German bar aptitude examination.

This decision not to initiate an investigation under Section 301 does not preclude other means to try to address the matters raised in the petition.

William Busis, Chair, Section 301 Committee.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The FAA invites public comment on the request to release property at the Hammond Northshore Regional Airport under the provisions of the AIR 21.

The following is a brief overview of the request:

As airport owner, the city of Hammond has requested to release a parcel comprised of 17.01 acres that was acquired under the 1945 acquisition of property with aeronautical rights attached. The release of property will not adversely affect the Hammond Northshore Regional Airport because the parcel is located immediately east of the airport on the on Industrial Park Road. The parcel is separated from the airport by Industrial Park Road. This property was part of the Runway Protection Zone for Runway 22 which is no longer in use and can never be used for airport purposes. The sale is estimated to provide $545,000.00 to be used for construction of a new control tower at the airport. In the event that the proposed control tower project is not funded, the city of Hammond has provided written concent that the proceeds of this land release will be used for other needed airport improvements at the Hammond Northshore Regional Airport.
