60230 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 193 / Monday, October 6, 2014 / Notices 

1. Background 

Section 182 of the Trade Act requires 

USTR to identify countries that deny 

adequate and effective protection of IPR 

or deny fair and equitable market access 

to U.S. persons who rely on intellectual 

property protection. The provisions of 

Section 182 are commonly referred to as 

the ‘‘Special 301’’ provisions of the 

Trade Act. 

Those countries that have the most 

onerous or egregious acts, policies, or 

practices and whose acts, policies, or 

practices have the greatest adverse 

impact (actual or potential) on relevant 

U.S. products are to be identified as 

Priority Foreign Countries. In addition, 

USTR has created a ‘‘Priority Watch 

List’’ and a ‘‘Watch List’’ under Special 

301 provisions. Placement of a trading 

partner on the Priority Watch List or 

Watch List indicates that particular 

problems exist in that country with 

respect to IPR protection, enforcement, 

or market access for persons relying on 

intellectual property. 

An OCR is a tool that USTR uses to 

encourage progress on IPR issues of 

concern. It provides an opportunity for 

heightened engagement with a trading 

partner to address and remedy such 

issues. Successful resolution of specific 

IPR issues of concern or lack of action 

on that concern can lead to a change in 

a trading partner’s Special 301 status 

outside of the time frame for the annual 

Special 301 Review. 

In the 2014 Special 301 Report, USTR 

noted that it would conduct an OCR of 

Kuwait focusing in particular on the 

Government of Kuwait’s efforts to 

address deficiencies in both its 

copyright legislation and its intellectual 

property enforcement practices. The 

2014 Special 301 Report included 

specific steps that Kuwait would need 

to take by the conclusion of the OCR to 

avoid being moved to the Priority Watch 

List: (1) Introduce amendments to the 

current copyright legislation that meet 

international standards; and (2) resume 

enforcement against both copyright 

piracy and trademark infringement. 

2. Written Comments 

a. Requirements for Written Comments 

To facilitate the review, written 

comments should be as detailed as 

possible and provide all necessary 

information for identifying and 

assessing the effect of the acts, policies, 

and practices of Kuwait relevant to the 

issues being reviewed in the OCR. 

Comments should include: Information 

relating to the status of any amendments 

that have been introduced to the current 

copyright legislation of Kuwait; the 

substance of the amendments, 

particularly their consistency with 

international standards; and the change, 

if any, of the frequency of enforcement 

actions against copyright and trademark 

infringement. USTR requests that 

interested parties provide specific 

references to laws, regulations, policy 

statements, executive, presidential or 

other orders, administrative, court or 

other determinations that should be 

factored in the review. 

b. Instructions for Submitting Comments 

Comments must be in English. To 

ensure the timely receipt and 

consideration of comments, USTR 

strongly encourages commenters to 

submit comments electronically, using 

the www.regulations.gov Web site. To 

submit comments via 

www.regulations.gov, enter Docket 

Number USTR–2014–0019 on the home 

page and click ‘‘Search.’’ The site will 

provide a search-results page listing all 

documents associated with this docket. 

Find the reference to this notice and 

click on the link entitled ‘‘Comment 

Now!’’ For further information on using 

the www.regulations.gov Web site, 

please consult the resources provided 

on the site by clicking on ‘‘How to use 

Regulations.gov’’ at the bottom of the 

home page under ‘‘Help.’’ 

The www.regulations.gov Web site 

allows users to provide comments by 

filling in a ‘‘Type Comment’’ field, or by 

attaching a document using an ‘‘Upload 

File’’ field. USTR prefers that comments 

be provided in an attached document. If 

a document is attached, please type 

‘‘2014 Out-of-Cycle Review of Kuwait’’ 

in the ‘‘Type Comment’’ field. USTR 

prefers submissions in Microsoft Word 

(.doc) or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. If 

the submission is in another file format, 

please indicate the name of the software 

application in the ‘‘Type Comment’’ 

field. File names should reflect the 

name of the person or entity submitting 

the comments. Please do not attach 

separate cover letters to electronic 

submissions; rather, include any 

information that might appear in a cover 

letter in the comments themselves. 

Similarly, to the extent possible, please 

include any exhibits, annexes, or other 

attachments in the same file as the 

comment itself, rather than submitting 

them as separate files. 

A person requesting that information 

contained in a comment submitted by 

that person be treated as confidential 

business information must certify that 

such information is business 

confidential and would not customarily 

be released to the public by the 

submitter. In the document, confidential 

business information must clearly be 

designated as such; the submission must 

be marked ‘‘BUSINESS 

CONFIDENTIAL’’ on the cover page and 

each succeeding page, and the 

submission should clearly indicate, via 

brackets, highlighting, or other means, 

the specific information that is business 

confidential. Additionally, the submitter 

should type ‘‘Business Confidential 

2014 Out-of-Cycle Review of Kuwait’’ in 

the ‘‘Type Comment’’ field. Anyone 

submitting a comment containing 

business confidential information must 

also submit, as a separate submission, a 

non-business confidential version of the 

submission, indicating where the 

business confidential information has 

been redacted. The filenames of both 

documents should reflect their status— 

‘‘BC’’ for the business confidential 

version and ‘‘P’’ for the public version. 

The non-business confidential version 

will be placed in the docket at 

www.regulations.gov and be available 

for public inspection. 

As noted, USTR strongly urges 

commenters to submit comments 

through www.regulations.gov. Any 

alternative arrangements must be made 

in advance of transmitting a comment 

and in advance of the relevant deadline 

by contacting USTR at Special301@

ustr.eop.gov. 

3. Inspection of Comments 

Comments received will be placed in 

the docket and open to public 

inspection pursuant to 15 CFR 2006.13, 

except business confidential 

information exempt from public 

inspection in accordance with 15 CFR 

2006.15. Comments may be viewed free 

of charge by visiting 

www.regulations.gov and entering 

Docket Number USTR–2014–0019 in the 

‘‘Search’’ field on the home page.
