OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

[Docket No. WTO/D–213]

WTO Consultations Regarding

Countervailing Duties on Certain

Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat

Products From Germany

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 November 13,

2000, the United States received from

the European Communities (EC) a

request for consultations under the

Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the

World Trade Organization (WTO

Agreement). The request relates to the

countervailing duties imposed by the

United States on imports of certain

corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat

products from Germany (U.S.

Department of Commerce (Commerce)

case number C–428–817). In particular,

the request relates to the final results of

a full sunset review in that case carried

out by Commerce and published at 65

FR 47407 (August 2, 2000). The EC

alleges that Commerce’s finding that

revocation of the countervailing duty

order would be likely to lead to the

continuation or recurrence of a

countervailable subsidy is inconsistent

with U.S. obligations under the WTO

Agreement on Subsidies and

Countervailing Measures (SCM

Agreement), particularly Articles 10,

11.9 and 21 of that agreement. Under

Article 4.3 of the WTO Dispute

Settlement Understanding (DSU),

consultations are to take place within a

period of 30 days from the date of

receipt of the request, or within a period

otherwise mutually agreed between the

United States and the EC. 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 January 15, 2001, to be assured of

timely consideration by USTR.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to Sandy

McKinzy, Monitoring and Enforcement

Unit, Office of the General Counsel,

Room 122, Office of the United States

Trade Representative, 600 17th Street,

NW., Washington, DC, 20508, Attn:

Corrosion-Resistant Steel Dispute.

Telephone: (202) 395–3582.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William D. Hunter, Associate General

Counsel, Office of the United States

Trade Representative, 600 17th Street,

NW., Washington, DC, 20508.

Telephone: (202) 395–3582.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

127(b) 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 receives a request

for the establishment of a WTO dispute

settlement panel. Consistent with this

obligation, but in an effort to provide

additional opportunity for comment,

USTR is providing notice that

consultations have been requested

pursuant to the WTO Dispute

Settlement Understanding. If such

consultations should fail to resolve the

matter and a dispute settlement panel is

established pursuant to the DSU, such

panel, which would hold its meetings in

Geneva, Switzerland, would be

expected to issue a report on its findings

and recommendations within six to nine

months after it is established.

Major Issues Raised by the EC

In its consultation request, the EC

alleges that the 1 percent de minimis

standard in Article 11.9 of the SCM

Agreement applies to sunset reviews

under Article 21.3. Thus, according to

the EC, because Commerce found a

likely subsidization rate of only 0.54

percent in its sunset review of the

countervailing duty order on corrisonresistant steel from Germany, Commerce

was required to revoke the

countervailing duty order. The EC also

alleges that there is no possibility that

the rate of subsidization could increase,

because under Commerce’s ‘‘declining

balance’’ methodology for allocating

non-recurring subsidies over time, the

rate of subsidization likely will continue

to decline.

Public Comment: Requirements for

Submissions

Interested persons are invited to

submit written comments concerning

the issues raised in the dispute.

Comments must be in English and

provided in fifteen copies. A person

requesting that information contained in

a comment submitted by that person be

information is business confidential and

would not customarily be released to

the public by the commenter.

Confidential business information must

be clearly marked ‘‘BUSINESS

CONFIDENTIAL’’ in a contrasting color

ink at the top of each page of each copy.

Information or advice contained in a

comment submitted, other than business

confidential information, may be

determined by USTR to be confidential

in accordance with section 135(g)(2) of

the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.

2155(g)(2)). If the submitter believes that

information or advice may qualify as

such, the submitter—

(1) Must so designate the information

or advice;

(2) Must clearly mark the material as

‘‘SUBMITTED IN CONFIDENCE’’ in a

contrasting color ink at the top of each

page of each copy; and

(3) Is encouraged to provide a nonconfidential summary of the

information or advice.

settlement proceeding, accessible to the

public, in the USTR Reading Room:
