Trade Organization (‘‘WTO Agreement’’) 

regarding a provision of the Family 

Smoking Prevention and Tobacco 

Control Act (Pub. L. 111–31) that 

prohibits the production or sale in the 

United States of cigarettes containing 

certain additives, including clove. This

request may be found at http://

as WT/DS406/1. 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 June 16, 2010 to be assured of 

timely consideration by USTR.

submitted electronically to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, docket number

provide submissions to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, please contact 

Sandy McKinzy at (202) 395–9483 to

Counsel, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative, 600 17th Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20508, (202) 395–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USTR is 

providing notice that consultations have 

been requested pursuant to the WTO 

Understanding on Rules and Procedures 

Governing the Settlement of Disputes 

(‘‘DSU’’). 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 nine months 

after it is established. 

Major Issues Raised by Indonesia 

On April 8, 2010, USTR received a 

letter from Indonesia requesting 

consultations regarding a provision of 

the Family Smoking Prevention and 

Tobacco Control Act (Pub. L. 111–31) 

(the ‘‘Act’’), which was signed into law 

June 22, 2009. Indonesia alleges that, 

among other things, the Act bans the 

production or sale in the United States 

of cigarettes containing certain 

additives, including clove, but would 

continue to permit the production and 

sale of other cigarettes, including 

cigarettes containing menthol, 

beginning 90 days after the legislation 

was signed into law. Indonesia appears 

to allege that this provision of the Act 

are inconsistent with the General 

Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, 

Articles III:4 and XX; the Agreement on 

the Application of Sanitary and 

Phytosanitary Measures, Articles 2, 3, 5 

and 7; and the Agreement on Technical 

Barriers to Trade, Articles 2 and 12.
