the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of

SUMMARY: On May 18, 2009, the
Department of Transportation published
an interim notice announcing the
availability of funding for TIGER
Discretionary Grants (as defined below),
project selection criteria, application
requirements and the deadline for
submitting applications. Because this is
a new program, the interim notice also
requested comments on the proposed
selection criteria and guidance for
awarding TIGER Discretionary Grants.
The Department considered the
comments that were submitted in
accordance with the interim notice and
has decided to publish this notice
revising some elements of the interim
notice. Each of the substantive revisions
made in this notice are described below
in ‘‘Supplemental Information.’’ In the

available funds, the Department may

‘‘Application Deadline’’). While
applicants are encouraged to submit
applications in advance of the
Application Deadline, applications will
not be evaluated, and awards will not be
made, until after the Application
Deadline. Due to the need to expedite
the grant award process to meet the
requirements and purposes of the
Recovery Act (as defined below), the
Department will evaluate all
applications and announce the projects
that have been selected to receive Grant
Funds (as defined below) as soon as
possible after the Application Deadline,

addition, in the event that this

WTO Dispute Settlement Proceeding Regarding United States--Anti-
Dumping Administrative Reviews and Other Measures Related to Imports of
Certain Orange Juice from Brazil
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 on May 22, 2009, Brazil requested
consultations with the United States under the Marrakesh Agreement
Establishing the World Trade Organization (``WTO Agreement'')
concerning the antidumping duty investigation on certain orange juice
from Brazil, the second antidumping duty administrative review on
certain orange juice from Brazil (Department of Commerce Case No. A-
351-840), and the ``continued use of the US zeroing procedures (`model'
or `simple' zeroing) in successive antidumping proceedings.'' On
November 27, 2008, Brazil requested consultations with the United
States concerning the first antidumping administrative review on
certain orange juice from Brazil and various U.S. laws, regulations,
administrative procedures, practices, and methodologies. Those requests
may be found at www.wto.org contained in documents designated as WT/
DS382/1/Add.1 and WT/DS382/1, respectively. 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 settlement proceedings, comments should be
submitted on or before July 17, 2009 to be assured of timely
consideration by USTR.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted electronically to

Counsel, Office of the United States Trade Representative, 600 17th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USTR is providing notice that consultations
have been requested pursuant to the WTO Understanding on Rules and
Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (``DSU''). If such
consultations should fail to resolve the matter and a dispute
settlement 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 nine months
after it is established.
On November 27, 2008, Brazil requested consultations regarding the
antidumping duty administrative review on certain orange juice from
Brazil, referring in particular to the use of ``zeroing'' in that
review. USTR solicited comments in response to Brazil's November 27,
2008, consultations request in 73 Federal Register 80,442 (Dec. 31,
2008). Comments received in response to that request may be viewed on
the www.regulations.gov Web site by entering docket number USTR-2008-
