Public Notice for Waiver of
Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance;
Gary/Chicago International Airport;
Gary, IN
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with
respect to land.
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the
airport from civilian aeronautical use to
military aeronautical use and to
authorize the lease of the airport
property. The area is a twenty-five acre
parcel located in the southwest
quadrant of the airport south of Runway
12/30 and west of Runway 2/20. The
land is vacant and is used as a stockpile
area for various construction materials
and was the former site of a Nike missile
silo battery. The land had been
transferred to the City of Gary in 1947
by Quitclaim Deed from the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation as
non-surplus property as defined by
section 16 of the Federal Airport Act of
1946. Public Law 102–148, dated
October 10, 1991 released the land from
the section 16 restriction requiring
Congressional action for land releases
and authorized the FAA to administer
land releases. There are no adverse
impacts to the airport by allowing the
airport to lease the property. The land
is not needed for civilian aeronautical
use and a Limited Army Aviation
Support Facility helicopter base, which
will be operated by the Indiana National
Guard, will be constructed on the
property. A Joint-Use Agreement will be
negotiated between the Indiana National
Guard and the airport that will address
all fees, charges, and assessments for
services such as snow removal, fire
fighting and fueling. Approval does not
constitute a commitment by the FAA to
financially assist in the disposal of the
subject airport property nor a
determination of eligibility for grant-inaid funding from the FAA. The
disposition of proceeds from the lease of
the airport property will be in
accordance with FAA’s Policy and

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
WTO Dispute Settlement Proceeding Regarding Sunset Reviews of
Anti-Dumping Measures on Oil Country Tubular Goods From Argentina
AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of the United States Trade Representative
(``USTR'') is providing notice that Argentina has requested the
establishment of a dispute settlement panel under the Marrakesh
Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (``WTO
Agreement''). That request may be found at https://www.wto.org contained
in a document designated as WT/DS268/16. 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, comments should be submitted on or before May
19, 2006, to be assured of timely consideration by USTR.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted (i) electronically, to
FR0609@ustr.gov.eop, Attn: ``Argentina OCTG'' in the subject line, or
(ii) by fax, to Sandy McKinzy at 202-395-3640, with a confirmation copy
sent electronically to the e-mail address above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth V. Baltzan, Associate
General Counsel, Office of the United States Trade Representative, 600
17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508, (202) 395-3582.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If a dispute settlement panel is
established, such panel, which would hold its meetings in Geneva,
Switzerland, would be expected to issue a report on its findings and
recommendations within 90 days after referral of the matter to it.
Major Issues Raised by Argentina
In its panel request, Argentina alleges that the United States had
not fully complied with the recommendations and rulings of the Dispute
Settlement Body from the original dispute. Those recommendations and
rulings stem from the panel and Appellate Body reports which may be
found at https://www.wto.org designated as WT/DS268/R and WT/DS268/AB/R,
respectively.
In particular, Argentina contends that the U.S. Department of
Commerce erred by developing new factual information and that the
reasoning in the redetermination made pursuant to section 129 of the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act is not consistent with Articles 11.1,
11.3, and 11.4 of the Antidumping Agreement. Argentina also considers
that the redetermination was inconsistent with a number of procedural
obligations in the Antidumping Agreement, including Articles 6.1, 6.2,
6.4, 6.5.1, 6.6, 6.8, 6.9, 12.2, and Annex II. Argentina also alleges
that USTR was required to direct Commerce to implement the
redetermination in order to avoid a breach of Article 13 of the
Antidumping Agreement. Argentina further contends that Commerce was
required to amend or repeal the statute and that the amended regulation
is inconsistent with the obligation to arrive at a reasoned conclusion
on the basis of positive evidence, as well as Articles 6.1, 6.2, 6.6,
11.1, and 11.3 of the Antidumping Agreement.
Public Comment: Requirements for Submissions
Interested persons are invited to submit written comments
concerning the issues raised in this dispute. Persons submitting
comments may either send one copy by fax to Sandy McKinzy at (202) 395-
3640, or transmit a copy electronically to FR0609@ustr.gov.eop, with
``Argentina OCTG'' in the subject line. For documents sent by fax, USTR
requests that the submitter provide a confirmation copy to the
electronic mail address listed above.
USTR encourages the submission of documents in Adobe PDF format, as
attachments to an electronic mail. Interested persons who make
submissions by electronic mail should not provide separate cover
letters; information that might appear in a cover letter should be
included in the submission itself. Similarly, to the extent possible,
any attachments to the submission should be included in the same file
as the submission itself, and not 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.
Confidential business information must be clearly designated as such
and the submission must be marked ``BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL'' at the top
and bottom of the cover page and each succeeding page of the
submission.
Information or advice contained in a comment submitted, other than
business confidential information, may be determined by USTR to be
confidential in accordance with section 135(g)(2) of the Trade Act of
1974 (19 U.S.C. 2155(g)(2)). If the submitting person believes that
information or advice may qualify as such, the submitting person--
(1) Must clearly so designate the information or advice;
(2) Must clearly mark the material as ``SUBMITTED IN CONFIDENCE''
at the top and bottom of each page of the cover page and each
succeeding page; and
(3) Is encouraged to provide a non-confidential summary of the
information or advice.
Pursuant to section 127(e) of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3537(e)), USTR
will maintain a file on this dispute settlement proceeding, accessible
to the public, in the USTR Reading Room, which is located at 1724 F
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508. The public file will include non-
confidential comments received by USTR from the public with respect to
the dispute; if a dispute settlement panel is convened or in the event
of an appeal from such a panel, the U.S. submissions, the submissions,
or non-confidential summaries of submissions, received from other
participants in the dispute; the report of the panel and; if
applicable, the report of the Appellate Body. An appointment to review
the public file (Docket No. WT/DS-268, Sunset Reviews of Anti-dumping
