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.

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.

request, inspect the application, notice
