FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elissa Alben, Assistant General Counsel,
Office of the United States Trade
Representative, 600 17th Street, NW.,
Washington, DC, (202) 395–3150.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
127(b) of the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act (URAA) (19 U.S.C.
3537(b)(1)) requires that notice and
opportunity for comment be provided
after the United States submits or
receives a request for the establishment
of a WTO dispute settlement panel.
Consistent with this obligation, USTR is
providing notice that the establishment
of a dispute settlement panel has been
requested pursuant to the WTO
Understanding on Rules and Procedures
Governing the Settlement of Disputes
(‘‘DSU’’). If such a panel is established
pursuant to the DSU, such panel, which
would hold its meetings in Geneva,
Switzerland, would be expected to issue
a report on its findings and
recommendations within six to nine
months after it is established.
Major Issue Raised by Thailand
In its request for the establishment of
a panel, Thailand challenges the use of
what it describes as ‘‘the methodology
of ‘zeroing’ negative anti-dumping
margins’’ in the Department of
Commerce’s final determination, as
amended, in the original investigation
and antidumping duty order with
respect to polyethylene retail carrier
bags from Thailand.1 Thailand states
that it considers this action to be
inconsistent with the obligations of the
United States under the first sentence of
Article 2.4.2 of the Agreement on
Implementation of Article VI of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
1994.

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the existing collection of

information provided for in the
following rules: Rule 17Ad–6 (17 CFR
240.17Ad–6) and Rule 17Ad–7 (17 CFR
240.17Ad–7) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’).
Rule 17Ad–6 under the Exchange Act
requires every registered transfer agent
to make and keep current records about
a variety of information, such as: (1)
Specific operational data regarding the
time taken to perform transfer agent
activities (to ensure compliance with
the minimum performance standards in
Rule 17Ad–2 (17 CFR 240.17Ad–2); (2)
written inquiries and requests by
shareholders and broker-dealers and
response time thereto; (3) resolutions,
contracts or other supporting documents
concerning the appointment or
termination of the transfer agent; (4)
stop orders or notices of adverse claims
to the securities; and (5) all canceled
registered securities certificates.
Rule 17Ad–7 under the Exchange Act
requires each registered transfer agent to
retain the records specified in Rule
17Ad–6 in an easily accessible place for
a period of six months to six years,
depending on the type of record or
document. Rule 17Ad–7 also specifies
the manner in which records may be
maintained using electronic, microfilm,
and microfiche storage methods.
These recordkeeping requirements are
designed to ensure that all registered
transfer agents are maintaining the
records necessary for transfer agents to
monitor and keep control over their own
performance and for the Commission to
adequately examine registered transfer
agents on an historical basis for
compliance with applicable rules.
The Commission estimates that
approximately 600 registered transfer
agents will spend a total of 300,000
hours per year complying with Rules
17Ad–6 and 17Ad–7 (500 hours per year
per transfer agent).
The retention period for the
recordkeeping requirements under Rule
17Ad–6 is six months to one year. In
addition, such records must be retained
for a total of two to six years or for one
year after termination of the transfer
agency, depending on the particular
record or document. The recordkeeping
requirements under Rules 17Ad–6 and
17Ad–7 are mandatory to assist the
Commission and other regulatory
agencies with monitoring transfer agents
and ensuring compliance with the rule.
This rule does not involve the collection
of confidential information.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
