practices of Ukraine are unreasonable 

and burden or restrict United States 

commerce and are thus actionable under 

section 301(b) of the Trade Act of 1974, 

as amended (Trade Act). In light of the 

current political situation in Ukraine, 

the Trade Representative has 

determined that no action under section 

301 is appropriate at this time. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions regarding this investigation 

should be directed as appropriate to: 

Elizabeth Kendall, Director for 

Intellectual Property and Innovation, 

Office of the United States Trade 

Representative, at (202) 395–3580; 

Isabella Detwiler, Director for Europe, at 

(202) 395–6146; or Shannon Nestor, 

Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 395– 

3150. 

DATES: The Trade Representative made 

the determinations in this investigation 

on February 28, 2014. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

30, 2013, the Trade Representative 

initiated a Section 301 investigation of 

certain acts, policies, and practices of 

the Government of Ukraine with respect 

to intellectual property rights. See 

Identification of Ukraine as a Priority 

Foreign Country and Initiation of 

Section 301 Investigation, 78 FR 33886 

(June 5, 2013). The acts, policies, and 

practices subject to investigation were 

those that formed the basis of Ukraine’s 

designation in the May 1, 2013 Special 

301 Report as a Priority Foreign 

Country. Those acts, policies, and 

practices involved: (1) The 

administration of Ukraine’s system for 

collecting societies, which are 

responsible for collecting and 

distributing royalties to U.S. and other 

rights holders; (2) use of infringing 

software by Ukrainian government 

agencies; and (3) online infringement of 

copyright and related rights. The notice 

of initiation proposed a determination 

that these acts, policies, and practices 

are actionable under section 301(b), 

invited public comments on the matters 

subject to investigation, and provided 

notice of a public hearing. 

The Office of the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) held the public 

hearing on September 9, 2013. See 

Notice of Rescheduled Hearing in the 

Section 301 Investigation of Ukraine, 78 

FR 45011 (July 25, 2013). Written 

submissions and testimony may be 

viewed on www.regulations.gov under 

the above-referenced docket number. 

On November 29, 2013, the Trade 

Representative determined to extend the 

investigation by three months, such that 

the determinations in the investigation 

would be made by no later than 

February 28, 2014. See Notice of 

Determination to Extend Section 301 

Investigation of Ukraine, 78 FR 72141 

(December 2, 2013). 

During the investigation, U.S. and 

Ukrainian officials held constructive 

discussions regarding the acts, policies 

and practices subject to investigation. 

However, U.S. concerns with those acts, 

policies, and practices were not 

resolved. 

Based on the information obtained 

during the investigation, and consistent 

with the recommendation of the 

interagency Section 301 Committee, the 

Trade Representative has determined 

under Section 304(a)(1)(A) and (B) of 

the Trade Act that: (1) The acts, policies, 

and practices subject to investigation are 

unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. 

commerce, and are thus actionable 

under Section 301(b) of the Trade Act; 

and (2) in light of the current political 

situation in Ukraine, no action under 

Section 301(b) is appropriate at this 

time. 

USTR remains committed to 

addressing the matters subject to 

investigation, and looks forward to 

further engagement with the 

Government of Ukraine at an 

appropriate time. 

William Busis, 

Chair, Section 301 Committee.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may renew an exemption from 

the vision requirements in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers 

of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a 

two-year period if it finds ‘‘such 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety that is equivalent to or greater 

than the level that would be achieved 

absent such exemption.’’ The 

procedures for requesting an exemption 

(including renewals) are set out in 49 

CFR part 381. 

Exemption Decision 

This notice addresses 17 individuals 

who have requested renewal of their 

exemptions in accordance with FMCSA 

procedures. FMCSA has evaluated these 

17 applications for renewal on their 

merits and decided to extend each 

exemption for a renewable two-year 

period. They are: 

Gene Bartlett, Jr. (VT) 

Danial C. Berry (AR) 

Ronald D. Boeve (MI) 

Marland L. Brassfield (TX) 

Daniel M. Cannon (OR) 

Jamie French (NC)

John D. McCormick (WY) 

Carlos A. MendezCastellon (VA) 

Willie L. Parks (CA) 

Bradley S. Sanders (NM) 

Gary N. Wilson (UT) 

William B. Wilson (KY) 

The exemptions are extended subject 

to the following conditions: (1) That 

each individual has a physical 

examination every year (a) by an 

ophthalmologist or optometrist who 

attests that the vision in the better eye 

continues to meet the requirements in 

49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and (b) by a 

medical examiner who attests that the 

individual is otherwise physically 

qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that 

each individual provides a copy of the 

ophthalmologist’s or optometrist’s 

report to the medical examiner at the 

time of the annual medical examination; 

and (3) that each individual provide a 

copy of the annual medical certification 

to the employer for retention in the 

driver’s qualification file and retains a 

copy of the certification on his/her 

person while driving for presentation to 

a duly authorized Federal, State, or local 

enforcement official. Each exemption 

will be valid for two years unless 

rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The 

exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The 

person fails to comply with the terms 

and conditions of the exemption; (2) the 

exemption has resulted in a lower level 

of safety than was maintained before it 

was granted; or (3) continuation of the 

exemption would not be consistent with
