Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 2012 / Notices 2119 

Consistent with the determination in 

section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that 

‘‘prior notice to persons determined to 

be subject to the Order who might have 

a constitutional presence in the United 

States would render ineffectual the 

blocking and other measures authorized 

in the Order because of the ability to 

transfer funds instantaneously,’’ I 

determine that no prior notice needs to 

be provided to any person subject to this 

determination who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States, because to do so would render 

ineffectual the measures authorized in 

the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register. 

Dated: January 3, 2012. 

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 

Secretary of State.

Regarding China—Anti-Dumping and 

Countervailing Duty Measures on 

Broiler Products From the United 

States 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the United 

States Trade Representative (‘‘USTR’’) is 

providing notice that on December 8, 

2011, the United States requested 

establishment of a dispute settlement 

panel under the Marrakesh Agreement 

Establishing the World Trade 

Organization (‘‘WTO Agreement’’) with 

the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘China’’) concerning countervailing 

and antidumping duties on chicken 

broiler products from the United States. 

That request may be found at 

www.wto.org contained in a document 

designated as WT/DS427/2. USTR 

invites written comments from the 

public concerning the issues raised in 

this dispute. 

DATES: Although USTR will accept any 

comments received during the course of 

the dispute settlement proceedings, 

comments should be submitted on or 

before February 10, 2012 to be assured 

of timely consideration by USTR. 

ADDRESSES: Public comments should be 

submitted electronically to 

www.regulations.gov, docket number 

USTR–2011–0022. If you are unable to 

provide submissions to 

www.regulations.gov, please contact 

Sandy McKinzy at (202) 395–9483 to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mayur R. Patel, Assistant General 

Counsel, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative, or Joseph M. 

Johnson, Assistant General Counsel, 600

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

127(b)(1) of the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act (URAA) (19 U.S.C. 

3537(b)(1)) requires that notice and 

opportunity for comment be provided 

after the United States submits or 

receives a request for establishment of a 

WTO dispute settlement panel. 

Consistent with this obligation, USTR is 

providing notice that it has requested a 

panel pursuant to the WTO 

Understanding on Rules and Procedures 

Governing the Settlement of Disputes 

(‘‘DSU’’). Once it is established, the 

panel will hold its meetings in Geneva, 

Switzerland, and would be expected to 

issue a report on its findings and 

recommendations within nine months 

of its establishment. 

Major Issues Raised by the United 

States 

The United States considers that 

certain measures imposing 

countervailing duties and antidumping 

duties on chicken broiler products from 

the United States are inconsistent with 

China’s commitments and obligations 

under the WTO Agreement. The 

measures are set forth in the Ministry of 

Commerce of the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘MOFCOM’’) Notice No. 8 

[2010], Notice No. 26 [2010], Notice No. 

51 [2010], and Notice No. 52 [2010], 

including any and all annexes. These 

measures appear to be inconsistent with 

Articles 1, 2.2, 2.2.1.1, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 

3.5, 4.1, 6.2, 6.4, 6.5.1, 6.8, 6.9, 12.2, 

12.2.1, and 12.2.2 of the Anti-dumping 

Agreement; Articles 10, 12.3, 12.4.1, 

12.7, 12.8, 15.1, 15.2, 15.4, 15.5, 16.1, 

19.4, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5 of the Subsidies 

and Countervailing Measures 

Agreement; and Article VI of the GATT 

1994. On September 20, 2011, the 

United States requested consultations 

with China. That request may be found 

at www.wto.org contained in a 

document designated as WT/DS427/1. 

The United States and China held 

consultations on October 28, 2011, but 

the consultations did not resolve the 

matter.
