(Working Party Report), and the WTO
agreements. The Protocol and Working

2. Public Comment and Hearing
USTR invites written comments and/
or oral testimony of interested persons
on China’s compliance with
commitments made in connection with
its accession to the WTO, including, but
not limited to, commitments in the
following areas: (a) Trading rights; (b)
import regulation (e.g., tariffs, tariff-rate
quotas, quotas, import licenses); (c)
export regulation; (d) internal policies
affecting trade (e.g., subsidies, standards
and technical regulations, sanitary and
phytosanitary measures, government
procurement, trade-related investment
measures, taxes and charges levied on
imports and exports); (e) intellectual
property rights (including intellectual
property rights enforcement); (f)
services; (g) rule of law issues (e.g.,
transparency, judicial review, uniform
administration of laws and regulations)
and status of legal reform; and (h) other
WTO commitments. In addition, given
the Administration’s view that China
should be held accountable as a full
participant in, and beneficiary of, the
international trading system now that
almost all of its WTO commitments
should have been implemented (see
‘‘U.S.-China Trade Relations: Entering a
New Phase of Greater Accountability
and Enforcement,’’ issued by USTR in
February 2006, https://www.ustr.gov/
World_Regions/North_Asia/China/
2006_Top-to-Bottom_Review/
Section_Index.html), USTR requests that
interested persons also specifically
identify unresolved compliance issues
that warrant review and evaluation by
USTR’s China Enforcement Task Force.
Written comments must be received
no later than noon, Monday, September
17, 2007.
A hearing will be held on Thursday,
September 27, 2007, in Room 1, 1724 F
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508. If
necessary, the hearing will continue on
the next day.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[File No. 500–1]
In the Matter of Vision Airships, Inc.;
Order of Suspension of Trading
July 23, 2007.
It appears to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that the public
interest and the protection of investors
require a suspension of trading in the
securities of Vision Airships, Inc.
(‘‘Vision Airships’’) because questions
have arisen regarding the adequacy and
accuracy of assertions made by Vision
Airships in publicly disseminated press
releases concerning among other things
(1) The company’s acquisition of
blimps, (2) the existence of company
negotiations with other entities for use
of the blimps, (3) the company’s funding
for its global expansion, and (4) the
potential annual revenues from airship
use.
Vision Airships, a company traded in
the Over-the-Counter market under the
ticker symbol VPSN, has made no
public filings with the Commission, and
has recently been the subject of spam
email touting the company’s shares.
The Commission is of the opinion that
the public interest and the protection of
investors require a suspension of trading
in the securities of the above listed
company.
Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to
Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, that trading in the above
listed company is suspended for the
period from 9:30 a.m. EST July 23, 2007
through 11:59 p.m. EST, on August 3,
2007.
By the Commission.

Assistant Secretary.
