SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

China became a Member of the WTO 

on December 11, 2001. In accordance 

with section 421 of the U.S.-China 

Relations Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–286), 

USTR is required to submit, by 

December 11 of each year, a report to 

Congress on China’s compliance with 

commitments made in connection with 

its accession to the WTO, including 

both multilateral commitments and any 

bilateral commitments made to the 

United States. In accordance with 

section 421, and to assist it in preparing 

this year’s report, the TPSC is hereby 

soliciting public comment. Last year’s 

report is available on USTR’s Internet 

Web site (at www.ustr.gov/ 

World_Regions/North_Asia/China/ 

Section_Index.html). 

The terms of China’s accession to the 

WTO are contained in the Protocol on 

the Accession of the People’s Republic 

of China (including its annexes) 

(Protocol), the Report of the Working 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES

Party on the Accession of China 

(Working Party Report), and the WTO 

agreements. The Protocol and Working 

Party Report can be found on the 

Department of Commerce Web page, 

http://www.mac.doc.gov/China/ 

WTOAccessionPackage.htm, or on the 

WTO Web site, http:// 

docsonline.wto.org (document symbols: 

WT/L/432, WT/MIN(01)/3, WT/ 

MIN(01)/3/Add.1, WT/MIN(01)/3/ 

Add.2). 

2. Public Comment and Hearing 

USTR invites written comments and/ 

or oral testimony of interested persons 

on China’s compliance with 

commitments made in connection with 

its accession to the WTO, including, but 

not limited to, commitments in the 

following areas: (a) Trading rights; (b) 

import regulation (e.g., tariffs, tariff-rate 

quotas, quotas, import licenses); (c) 

export regulation; (d) internal policies 

affecting trade (e.g., subsidies, standards 

and technical regulations, sanitary and 

phytosanitary measures, government 

procurement, trade-related investment 

measures, taxes and charges levied on 

imports and exports); (e) intellectual 

property rights (including intellectual 

property rights enforcement); (f) 

services; (g) rule of law issues (e.g., 

transparency, judicial review, uniform 

administration of laws and regulations) 

and status of legal reform; and (h) other 

WTO commitments. In addition, given 

the Administration’s view that China 

should be held accountable as a full 

participant in, and beneficiary of, the 

international trading system now that 

almost all of its WTO commitments 

should have been implemented (see 

‘‘U.S.-China Trade Relations: Entering a 

New Phase of Greater Accountability 

and Enforcement,’’ issued by USTR in 

February 2006, http://www.ustr.gov/ 

World_Regions/North_Asia/China/ 

2006_Top-to-Bottom_Review/ 

Section_Index.html), USTR requests that 

interested persons also specifically 

identify unresolved compliance issues 

that warrant review and evaluation by 

USTR’s China Enforcement Task Force. 

Written comments must be received 

no later than noon, Monday, September 

17, 2007. 

A hearing will be held on Thursday, 

September 27, 2007, in Room 1, 1724 F 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508. If 

necessary, the hearing will continue on 

the next day. 

Persons wishing to testify orally at the 

hearing must provide written 

notification of their intention by noon, 

Thursday, September 13, 2007. The 

notification should include: (1) The 

name, address, and telephone number of

and (2) a short (on or two paragraph) 

summary of the presentation, including 

the commitments at issue and, as 

applicable, the product(s) (with HTSUS 

numbers), service sector(s), or other 

subjects to be discussed. A copy of the 

testimony must accompany the 

notification. Remarks at the hearing 

should be limited to no more than five

from the TPSC.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[File No. 500–1] 

In the Matter of Vision Airships, Inc.; 

Order of Suspension of Trading 

July 23, 2007. 

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission that the public 

interest and the protection of investors 

require a suspension of trading in the 

securities of Vision Airships, Inc. 

(‘‘Vision Airships’’) because questions 

have arisen regarding the adequacy and 

accuracy of assertions made by Vision 

Airships in publicly disseminated press 

releases concerning among other things 

(1) The company’s acquisition of 

blimps, (2) the existence of company 

negotiations with other entities for use 

of the blimps, (3) the company’s funding 

for its global expansion, and (4) the 

potential annual revenues from airship 

use. 

Vision Airships, a company traded in 

the Over-the-Counter market under the 

ticker symbol VPSN, has made no 

public filings with the Commission, and 

has recently been the subject of spam 

email touting the company’s shares. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of the above listed 

company. 

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to 

Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934, that trading in the above 

listed company is suspended for the 

period from 9:30 a.m. EST July 23, 2007 

through 11:59 p.m. EST, on August 3, 

2007. 

By the Commission. 

J. Lynn Taylor, 

Assistant Secretary.
