Status Report by the United States

 The following communication, dated 20 August 2009, from the delegation of the
United States to the Chairman of the Dispute Settleme nt Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6
of the DSU.

Status Report Regarding Implementation of the

DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute

(WT/DS294)

 The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU").

 On 9 May 2006, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and
rulings in (DS294). At the following DSB meeting on 30 May 2006, the United States informed the
DSB of its intention to implement the recommendati ons and rulings of the DSB in connection with
this matter. The United States and the European Communities ("EC") agreed that the reasonable
period of time for the United States to implemen t the recommendations and rulings of the DSB would
end on 9 April 2007.

 The United States has taken a number of step s to comply with the recommendations and
rulings of the DSB in this dispute. With respect to the "as such" claims, as of 22 February 2007, the
United States is no longer performing average-to-ave rage comparisons in anti-dumping investigations
without offsets.

 With respect to the 15 anti-dumping investigati ons at issue in this dispute, three of the
anti-dumping orders in question had been revoked before the DSB adopted its recommendations and
rulings. With respect to the remaining 12, Co mmerce issued 11 determinations on 9 April 2007 and
one determination on 31 August 2007. In those determinations, Commerce used an
average to-average comparison in which offsets were provided. As a result, in two of these
determinations, Commerce found no dumping, and Commerce revoked the orders. The margins for
the others were adjusted accordingly, and in several cases, Commerce found no dumping by
individual companies. Commerce revoked the orders with respect to those companies. Additionally,

four of the remaining anti-dumping orders were revoked as a result of sunset reviews, with effect prior
to the end of the reasonable period of time.

 On 11 June 2009, the DSB adopted the Appella te Body report and the panel report, as
modified by the Appellate Body report, regarding th e recourse to Article 21.5 of the DSU by the EC.
The United States and the EC are consulting in order to address the findings contained in these
reports.

 On page 139, paragr aph 345, first and second lines, the phrase "no subsequent administrative

sentence should read: "In Case 31, the cash deposit rates applied on imports from NSK after the end

zeroing in the 2000-2001 administrative review."

 On page 139, paragraph 345, fifth sentence in th e eighth line, the word "were" is deleted and

recommendations and rulings of the DSB in relati on to Case 31, as the assessed duties reflected a
margin of dumping calculated with zeroing and the assessment took place after the end of the
reasonable period of time."
