July 1999 in connection with the World
Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’)
authorization of the United States in the
EC-Beef Hormones dispute to suspend
concessions and related obligations with
respect to the European Communities
(‘‘EC’’). See 74 FR 4265 (Jan. 23, 2009).
The January 15 modifications initially

The Trade Representative subsequently

Jkt 217001
January 15 modifications until April 23,
2009. The effective date of the removal
of duties under the January 15
modifications remained March 23, 2009.
See 74 FR 11613 (March 18, 2009); 74
FR 12402 (March 24, 2009). In order to
allow additional time to reach
agreement with the EC on an interim
solution that would provide benefits to
the U.S. beef industry, the Trade
Representative has decided to delay the
effective date of the additional duties
imposed under the January 15
modifications from April 23, 2009 until
May 9, 2009.
Effective Date: The additional duties
under the January 15 modifications
shall be effective with respect to
products that are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after May 9, 2009.

11613 (March 18, 2009), and 74 FR
12402 (March 24, 2009).
Pursuant to Section 305 of the Trade
Act of 1974, the Trade Representative
has determined that a further delay in
implementation of the January 15
modifications would be desirable to
obtain a satisfactory solution with
respect to the EC’s ban on U.S. beef.
Accordingly, the Trade Representative
has decided to delay the effective date
of the additional duties imposed under
the January 15 modifications from April
23, 2009 until May 9, 2009. The actions
to be delayed are: (i) The imposition of
increased duties on additional products,
(ii) the application to products of
additional EC member States of the
increased duties on currently covered
products, and (iii) the increase in the
level of duties on one of the products
that is being maintained on the product
list. These are the same actions that
were previously delayed until April 23,
2009.
The increased duties under the
January 15 modifications are set out in
Annex II of the notice published at 74
FR 12402 (March 24, 2009). In order to
