AGENCY: Office of the United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 127(b)(1) of the Uruguay 

Round Agreements Act (URAA) (19 

U.S.C. 3537(b)(1)) requires notice and 

opportunity for comment after the 

United States submits or receives a 

request for the establishment of a WTO 

dispute settlement panel. Pursuant to 

this provision, USTR is providing notice 

that the United States has requested a 

dispute settlement panel pursuant to the 

WTO Understanding on Rules 

Procedures Governing the Settlement of 

Disputes (DSU). The panel will hold its 

meetings in Geneva, Switzerland. 

II. Major Issues Raised by the United 

States 

On March 14, 2018, the United States 

requested consultations concerning 

certain Indian export subsidies provided 

through: (1) The Export Oriented Units 

Scheme and sector specific schemes, 

including Electronics Hardware 

Technology Parks Scheme, (2) the 

Merchandise Exports from India 

Scheme, (3) the Export Promotion 

Capital Goods Scheme, (4) Special 

Economic Zones, and (5) a duty-free 

imports for exporters program. The 

parties failed to reach a mutually 

satisfactory resolution to this dispute. 

On May 17, 2018, the United States 

requested the establishment of a panel. 

The Dispute Settlement Body 

considered this request at its meeting of 

May 28, 2018, and established a panel 

to consider this dispute. 

The United States alleges that India is 

providing prohibited export subsidies 

contrary to Articles 3.1(a) and 3.2 of the 

Agreement on Subsidies and 

Countervailing Measures.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2018–0002] 

Hours of Service of Drivers: Electronic 

Logging Devices; Application for 

Exemption; Old Dominion and Other 

Motor Carriers Experiencing Problems 

Integrating PeopleNet ELD System 

Updates Into Their Fleet Management 

Systems 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of 

application for exemption. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has 

accepted the request of Old Dominion 

Freight Line Inc. (Old Dominion) to 

withdraw its application for an 

exemption from the Agency’s electronic 

logging device (ELD) requirements. Old 

Dominion no longer needs the 

exemption. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information concerning this notice, 

contact Mr. Tom Yager, Chief, FMCSA 

Driver and Carrier Operations Division; 

Office of Carrier, Driver and Vehicle 

Safety Standards; Telephone: 614–942– 

6477. Email: MCPSD@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Old Dominion, USDOT 90849, reports 

that it is an interstate motor carrier 

based in North Carolina with 228 

Service Centers located throughout the 

country. Its operations cover the entire 

continental United States. The company 

is one of the largest less-than-truckload 

carriers in the country, operating a fleet 

of more than 8,500 power units and 

employing more than 10,100 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers. 

Old Dominion applied for an 

exemption from the ELD requirements 

to allow the company to install ELD 

devices running on automatic on-board 

recording device (AOBRD) software in 

CMVs added to the company’s fleet for 

up to one year from the December 18, 

2017, ELD mandate compliance date. If 

granted, this modified ELD phase-in 

period would have allowed Old 

Dominion’s AORBD/ELD provider, 

PeopleNet, to complete the development 

of the software necessary to integrate 

ELD data with the company’s fleet 

management and safety systems to fully 

meet the ELD mandate. FMCSA 

considered the request to be on behalf 

of all motor carriers in similar situations 

concerning the integration of 

PeopleNet’s ELD software into fleet 

management systems. On January 31, 

2018, FMCSA published a Federal 

Register notice of Old Dominion’s 

application for exemption and asked for 

public comment (83 FR 4548). On 

March 12, 2018, by letter, Old Dominion 

asked to withdraw its application for the 

requested exemption. The letter of 

withdrawal is in the docket for this 

notice. The Agency accordingly accepts 

Old Dominion’s request to withdraw its 

application and closes the docket of this 

matter. 

Issued on: June 11, 2018.

Associate Administrator for Policy.
