OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

WTO Dispute Settlement Proceedings

Concerning Reformulated and

Conventional Gasoline

AGENCY: Office of the United States

Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 127(b)(1)

of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA) (19 U.S.C. 3537(b)(1)), the

Office of the United States Trade

Representative (USTR) is providing

notice that a dispute settlement panel

convened under the Agreement

Establishing the World Trade

Organization (WTO) at the request of

Venezuela will examine an

Environmental Protection Agency

regulation concerning reformulated and

conventional gasoline. USTR also

invites written comments from the

public concerning the issues raised in

the dispute.

DATES: Although USTR will accept any

comments received during the course of

the dispute settlement proceedings,

comments should be submitted on or

before May 16, 1995 in order to be

assured of timely consideration by

USTR in preparing its first written

submission to the panel.

ADDRESS: Comments may be submitted

to the Office of the General Counsel,

Attn: Venezuela Gasoline Dispute,

Room 223, Office of the U.S. Trade

Representative, 600 17th Street, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20506.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Rachel Shub, Assistant General Counsel,

Office of the General Counsel, Office of

the U.S. Trade Representative, 600 17th

Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20506,

(202) 395–7305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At

Venezuela’s request, a WTO dispute

settlement panel will examine whether

EPA’s ‘‘Regulation of Fuels and Fuel

Additives: Standards for Reformulated

and Conventional Gasoline,’’ dated

December 15, 1993 (59 FR 7716;

February 16, 1994) is consistent with

U.S. obligations under the General

Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)

1994 and the Agreement on Technical

Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement).

Australia, Canada, the European

Communities and Norway have reserved

their rights to intervene in the panel

proceedings as third parties. (On April

10, 1995, Brazil requested separate

consultations with the United States

under the GATT 1994 and the TBT

Agreement regarding EPA’s regulation.)

Members of the panel are currently

being selected, and the panel is

expected to meet as necessary at the

WTO headquarters in Geneva,

Switzerland to examine the dispute.

Under normal circumstances, the panel

would be expected to issue a report

detailing its findings and

recommendations in six to nine months.

An earlier dispute settlement

proceeding regarding the EPA

regulation, which was initiated by

Venezuela under the GATT 1947 (see 59

FR 52034; October 13, 1994), has been

terminated.

Major Issues Raised by Venezuela and

Legal Basis of Complaint

Venezuela has asserted that EPA’s

regulation accords less favorable

treatment to Venezuela gasoline than to

U.S.-produced gasoline and to gasoline

produced in third countries, and thus is

inconsistent with Articles I and III of the

GATT 1994 and Article 2.1 of the TBT

Agreement. Venezuela has also asserted

that the regulation creates unnecessary

obstacles to international trade and

therefore is inconsistent with Article 2.2

of the TBT Agreement.

Public Comment: Requirements for

Submissions

Interested persons are invited to

submit written comments concerning

the issue raised in the dispute. The

provisions of 15 CFR §§ 2006.13(a) and

(c) (providing that comments received

will be open to public inspection) and

2006.15 will apply to comments

received. Comments must be in English

and provided in fifteen copies. Pursuant

to 15 CFR § 2006.15, confidential

business information must be clearly

marked ‘‘BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL’’

in contrasting color ink at the top of

each page.

Pursuant to section 127(e) of the

URAA, USTR will maintain a public file

on this dispute settlement proceeding,

which will include a list of comments

received, in the USTR Reading Room:

Room 101, Office of the United States

Trade Representative, 600 17th Street,

N.W., Washington DC 20506. An

appointment to review the docket

(Docket WTO/D–1, ‘‘Venezuela-United

States: U.S. EPA Gasoline Standards’’),

may be made by calling Brenda Webb,

(202) 395–6186. The USTR Reading

Room is open to the public from 10 a.m.

to 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday.

General Counsel.
