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 nine months
after it is established.
Major Issues Raised by China
In its request for the establishment of
a panel, China challenges section 727 of
division A of the Omnibus
Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111–
8), which prohibits the use of funds
appropriated under that Act from being
used to establish or implement a rule
allowing poultry products to be
imported into the United States from
China. According to China, section 727
effectively prohibits the U.S.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:23 Jul 07, 2009
Jkt 217001
Department of Agriculture from
establishing or implementing measures
allowing for the importation from China
of poultry products or taking actions to
expand the class of poultry products
from China eligible for import into the
United States. China alleges that the
United States thus imposes a
moratorium on the consideration,
approval, and implementation of actions
that would be necessary under U.S. law
for China to export poultry products to
the United States. China claims that
these measures amount to a quantitative
restriction in breach of Article XI:1 of
the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade 1994 (‘‘GATT 1994’’) and Article
4.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture. In
addition, China alleges that by imposing
this restriction with respect to imports
from China, but not those of other WTO
Members, the United States acts
inconsistently with Article I:1 of the
GATT 1994. Finally, China claims that,
to the extent that some or all of these
U.S. measures are sanitary or
phytosanitary measures within the
meaning of the Agreement on the
Application of Sanitary and
Phytosanitary Measures, they are
inconsistent with Articles 2.1–2.3, 3.1,
3.3, 5.1–5.7, and 8 of that agreement.

Federal Highway Administration
Environmental Impact Statement:
Bexar County, TX

AGENCY: Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to 40 CFR 1508.22
and 43 TAC § 2.5(e)(2), the FHWA,
Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) and Alamo Regional Mobility
Authority are issuing this notice to
advise the public that an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared
for a proposed transportation project on
United States Highway (US) 281 from
Loop (LP) 1604 to Borgfeld Road, about
7.5 miles, in Bexar County, Texas. Areas
within the city of San Antonio are
included in the study area.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Salvador Deocampo, District Engineer,
District A, Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), Texas
Division, 300 East 8th Street, Rm. 826,
Austin, Texas 78701, Telephone 512–
536–5950.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: US 281
within the project limits is listed in the
San Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan
Planning Organization (SA–BCMPO)
Mobility 2030 Plan (the long-range
transportation plan) as a six-lane tolled
facility; other solutions for improving
mobility within the US 281 corridor
may be identified in future updates and/
or amendments to the long-range
transportation plan. The existing facility
is a four-to-six-lane non-toll divided
arterial with partial access controls. The
need for improvements to US 281 has
resulted from a historic and continuing
trend in population and employment
growth within the project corridor and
surrounding areas. This growth has
generated increasing levels of vehicle
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:23 Jul 07, 2009
Jkt 217001
miles traveled, leading to higher levels
of traffic congestion, vehicle crashes,
and declining community quality of life.
Without additional transportation
improvements it is anticipated that this
population and employment growth
will result in increased levels of
vehicular traffic, crashes and travel
delays. Without improvements,
accessibility within the corridor is
anticipated to become increasingly
reduced, its functionality as part of a
regional transportation system would
decline, and the overall community
quality of life would diminish. The
objectives of US 281 corridor
improvements are to improve mobility,
enhance safety, and improve
community quality of life. The EIS will
develop and evaluate a range of
alternatives including ‘‘No-action’’ (the
no-build alternative), Transportation
System Management (TSM)/
Transportation Demand Management
(TDM), rapid transit and roadway build
alternatives.
The EIS will analyze potential direct,
indirect and cumulative impacts from
construction and operation of proposed
corridor improvements including, but
not limited to, the following:
Transportation impacts; air quality and
noise impacts; water quality impacts
including storm water runoff; impacts to
waters of the United States including
wetlands; impacts to floodplains;
impacts to historic and archeological
resources; impacts to threatened and
endangered species; socioeconomic
impacts including environmental justice
communities; impacts to and/or
potential displacements of land use,
vegetation, residents and businesses;
and impacts to aesthetic and visual
resources.
Public involvement is a critical
component of the project development
process and will occur throughout the
planning and study phases. Letters
describing the proposed action
including a request for comments will
be sent to appropriate Federal, State,
and local agencies and to private
organizations and citizens who have
previously expressed or are known to
have interest in this proposal. Public
scoping meetings are planned for late
summer and fall of 2009. The purpose
of the public scoping meetings is to
identify significant and other relevant
issues related to US 281 mobility
improvements as part of the National
Environmental Policy Act process. The
scoping meetings, pursuant to Section
6002 of SAFETEA–LU, will provide
opportunities for participating agencies,
cooperating agencies, and the public to
be involved in review and comment on
PO 00000
Frm 00156
Fmt 4703

the draft coordination plan, defining the
need and purpose for the proposed
project, and determining the range of
alternatives to be considered in the EIS.
Additional public meetings will be held
on dates to be determined at a later
time. In addition to the public meetings,
a public hearing will be held. Public
notice will be given of the time and
place of the meetings and hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action is
addressed and all significant issues are
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Such comments or questions concerning
this proposed action should be directed
to the FHWA at the address provided
above.
