have been approved by the Secretary of State 

or the Secretary’s delegate. 

(2) The construction, operation, and 

maintenance of the United States facilities 

shall be in all material respects as described 

in the permittee’s application for a 

Presidential permit under Executive Order 

13337, filed on August 12, 2016, and 

consistent with the resource protection 

measures identified in the Final 

Environmental Assessment (EA), dated 

January 2018. 

Article 2. The standards for, and the 

manner of, the construction, connection, 

operation, and maintenance of the United 

States facilities shall be subject to inspection 

and approval by the representatives of 

appropriate federal, state and local agencies. 

The permittee shall allow duly authorized

Article 3. The permittee shall comply with

relevant state and local governmental 

entities, and relevant federal agencies. 

Article 4. All construction, connection, 

operation, and maintenance of the United 

States facilities under this permit shall be 

subject to the limitations, terms, and 

conditions issued by any competent agency 

of the U.S. government. The permittee shall 

continue the operations hereby authorized 

and conduct maintenance in accordance with 

such limitations, terms, and conditions. Such

protection and mitigation measures, safety 

requirements, export or import and customs 

regulations, measurement capabilities and 

procedures, requirements pertaining to the 

pipeline’s capacity, and other pipeline 

regulations. This permit shall continue in 

force and effect only so long as the permittee 

shall continue the operations hereby 

authorized in accordance with such 

limitations, terms, and conditions. 

Article 5. Upon the termination, 

revocation, or surrender of this permit, and 

unless otherwise agreed by the Secretary of

such time as the Secretary of State or the 

Secretary’s delegate may specify, and upon 

failure of the permittee to remove, or to take 

such other appropriate action with respect to, 

this portion of the United States facilities as 

ordered, the Secretary of State or the 

Secretary’s delegate may direct that 

possession of such facilities be taken and that 

they be removed or other appropriate action 

taken, at the expense of the permittee; and 

the permittee shall have no claim for 

damages by reason of such possession, 

removal, or other action. 

Article 6. When, in the opinion of the 

President of the United States, the national 

security of the United States demands it, due 

notice being given by the Secretary of State 

or the Secretary’s delegate, the United States 

shall have the right to enter upon and take 

possession of any of the United States 

facilities or parts thereof; to retain 

possession, management, or control thereof 

for such length of time as may appear to the 

President to be necessary; and thereafter to 

restore possession and control to the 

permittee. In the event that the United States 

shall exercise such right, it shall pay to the 

permittee just and fair compensation for the 

use of such United States facilities upon the 

basis of a reasonable profit in normal 

conditions, and the cost of restoring said 

facilities to as good condition as existed at 

the time of entering and taking over the same, 

less the reasonable value of any 

improvements that may have been made by 

the United States.

discharge of hazardous substances and 

hazardous waste. 

(3) The permittee shall maintain the United 

States facilities and every part thereof in a 

condition of good repair for their safe 

operation, and in compliance with prevailing 

environmental standards and regulations.

that are approved in the future by the 

Department of State or other relevant federal 

or state agencies, as well as any other 

measures deemed prudent by the permittee. 

Article 10. The permittee shall file with the 

appropriate agencies of the U.S. government 

such statements or reports under oath with 

respect to the United States facilities, and/or 

permittee’s activities and operations in 

connection therewith, as are now, or may 

hereafter, be required under any laws or 

regulations of the U.S. government or its 

agencies. The permittee shall file electronic 

Export Information where required.

States Trade Representative (USTR) is 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 19, 2018 / Notices 28487 

providing notice that the Republic of 

Korea (Korea) has requested the 

establishment of a dispute settlement 

panel under the Marrakesh Agreement 

Establishing the World Trade 

Organization (WTO Agreement). That 

request may be found at www.wto.org in 

a document designated as WT/DS539/6. 

USTR invites written comments from 

the public concerning the issues raised 

in this dispute. 

DATES: Although USTR will accept any

before July 16, 2018, to be assured of 

timely consideration by USTR.

electronic submissions made the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments in 

Section III below. The docket number 

USTR–2018–0010. For alternatives to 

on-line submissions, please contact

General Counsel Philip Butler at (202)

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 received a 

request for a dispute settlement panel 

pursuant to the WTO Understanding on 

Rules and Procedures Governing the 

Settlement of Disputes. The WTO has 

established a dispute settlement panel, 

and the panel will hold its meetings in 

Geneva, Switzerland. 

II. Major Issues Raised by the Republic 

of Korea 

On April 16, 2018, Korea requested 

the establishment of a WTO dispute 

settlement panel regarding the use by 

the U.S. Department of Commerce 

(DOC) of facts available in various 

segments of the following 

investigations: 

• Anti-Dumping Duties on Certain 

Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from 

the Republic of Korea (DOC 

investigation number A–580–878). 

• Anti-Dumping Duties on Certain 

Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the 

Republic of Korea (USDOC investigation 

number A–580–881). 

• Countervailing Duties on Certain 

Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the 

Republic of Korea (DOC investigation 

number C–580–882). 

• Anti-Dumping Duties on Certain 

Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the 

Republic of Korea (DOC investigation 

number A–580–883). 

• Countervailing Duties on Certain 

Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the 

Republic of Korea (DOC investigation 

number C–580–884). 

• Anti-Dumping Duties on Large 

Power Transformers from the Republic 

of Korea (DOC investigation number 

A–580–867). 

Korea alleges that the challenged 

measures are inconsistent with U.S. 

WTO obligations under Article 6.8 and 

Annex II of the Anti-Dumping 

Agreement and Article 12.7 of the 

Agreement on Subsidies and 

Countervailing Measures (SCM 

Agreement). Korea further alleges that 

the United States failed to comply with 

a number of supposedly related 

procedural and substantive obligations 

under the Anti-Dumping Agreement and 

the SCM Agreement. 

In addition, Korea alleges that section 

776 of the Tariff Act of 1930, codified 

at 19 U.S.C. 1677e, as amended by 

section 502 of the Trade Preferences 

Extension Act of 2015, and the certain 

related legal provisions governing the 

use of facts available, are ‘‘as such’’ 

inconsistent with the Anti-Dumping 

Agreement and the SCM Agreement. 

Korea also challenges DOC’s ‘‘use of 

adverse facts available’’ as a purported 

‘‘ongoing conduct, or rule or nom’’ 

when DOC allegedly ‘‘selects facts from 

the record that are adverse to the 

interests of the foreign producers or 

exporters without (i) establishing that 

the adverse inferences can reasonably be 

drawn in light of the degree of 

cooperation received, and (ii) ensuring 

that such facts are the ‘best information 

available’ in the particular 

circumstances.’’ 

III. Public Comments: Requirements for

concerning the issues raised in this 

dispute. All submissions must be in
