SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice 

published on April 6, 2001 (66 FR 

18,346), the Office of the United States 

Trade Representative (‘‘USTR’’) 

announced the initiation of an 

investigation under sections 301 to 309 

of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 

(the Trade Act), regarding the 

Government of Ukraine’s intellectual 

property protection laws and practices, 

including the Government of Ukraine’s 

failure to use existing law enforcement 

authority to stop the ongoing 

unauthorized production of optical 

media products and failure to enact an 

optical media licensing regime that 

would preclude the piracy of such 

products. See 66 FR 18,346 (April 6, 

2001). In a notice published on August 

10, 2001, USTR announced that the 

Trade Representative had determined 

that these acts, policies, and practices of 

Ukraine with respect to the protection of 

intellectual property rights are 

unreasonable and burden or restrict 

United States commerce and are thus 

actionable under section 301(b) of the 

Trade Act. See 66 FR 42,246 (Aug. 10, 

2001). The notice also announced that 

the Trade Representative had 

determined that appropriate action to 

obtain the elimination of such acts, 

policies, and practices included the 

suspension of duty-free treatment 

accorded to products of Ukraine under 

the Generalized System of Preferences. 

The August 10, 2001 notice 

announced that further action might 

include the imposition of prohibitive 

duties on products of Ukraine to be 

drawn from a preliminary product list. 

USTR invited interested persons to 

submit written comments and to 

participate in a public hearing on 

September 11, 2001. Because the 

development of the final product list 

involved complex and complicated 

issues that required additional time, the 

Trade Representative determined under 

section 304(a)(3)(B) of the Trade Act to 

extend the investigation by 3 months, or 

until December 12, 2001. The public 

hearing was postponed and held on 

September 25, 2001. See 66 FR 48,898 

(Sep. 24, 2001). 

On December 11, 2001, the Trade 

Representative determined under 

section 304(a)(1)(B) of the Trade Act 

that appropriate action under section 

301(b), in addition to the prior 

suspension of GSP benefits, included 

the imposition of 100 percent ad 

valorem duties on Ukrainian products 

with an annual trade value of 

approximately $75 million. The level of 

sanctions is based on the level of the 

burden or restriction on U.S. commerce 

resulting from Ukraine’s inadequate 

protection of U.S. intellectual property 

rights. 

The Ukrainian parliament was 

scheduled to vote on an Optical Disc 

Licensing (ODL) law on December 20, 

2001, and the Government of Ukraine 

assured in writing that it would make 

best efforts to ensure passage of the law. 

In light of these developments, the 

Trade Representative determined under 

section 305(a)(2)(A) of the Trade Act 

that substantial progress was being 

made and that a delay was necessary or 

desirable to obtain a satisfactory 

solution, and postponed 

implementation of the action until 

December 20, 2001. 

On December 20, 2001, however, the 

Ukrainian parliament voted down the 

ODL law. Consequently, on that same 

day the Trade Representative 

announced that he was imposing 

prohibitive duties on Ukrainian 

products with an annual trade value of 

approximately $75 million, and 

announced the final product list on the 

following day. 

Imposition of Prohibitive Duties 

The Trade Representative has 

determined that appropriate action 

under section 301(b) of the Trade Act is 

to impose a 100% ad valorem rate of
