comment and reply comment.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 1377 of
the Omnibus Trade and
Competitiveness Act of 1988 (19 U.S.C.
3106) (‘Section 1377’), the Office of the
United States Trade Representative
(‘‘USTR’’) is reviewing and requests
comments on: The operation,
effectiveness, and implementation of
and compliance with the following
agreements regarding
telecommunications products and
services of the United States: the World
Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’) General
Agreement on Trade in Services; the
North American Free Trade Agreement
(‘‘NAFTA’’); U.S. free trade agreements
(‘‘FTAs’’) with Australia, Bahrain, Chile,
Morocco, Oman, Peru, and Singapore;
and the Dominican Republic-Central
America-United States Free Trade
Agreement (‘‘CAFTA–DR’’). The USTR
will conclude the review by March 31,
2010.
DATES: Comments are due by noon on
December 11, 2009 and reply comments
by noon on January 15, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1377 requires the USTR to review
annually the operation and effectiveness
of all U.S. trade agreements regarding
telecommunications products and
services that are in force with respect to
the United States. The purpose of the
review is to determine whether any act,
policy, or practice of a country that has
entered into an FTA or other
telecommunications trade agreement
with the United States is inconsistent
with the terms of such agreement or
otherwise denies U.S. firms, within the
context of the terms of such agreements,
mutually advantageous market
opportunities for telecommunications
products and services. For the current
review, the USTR seeks comments on:
PO 00000
Frm 00227
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

(1) Whether any WTO member is
acting in a manner that is inconsistent
with its obligations under WTO
agreements affecting market
opportunities for telecommunications
products or services, e.g., the WTO
General Agreement on Trade in Services
(‘‘GATS’’), including the Basic
Telecommunications Agreement, the
Annex on Telecommunications, and any
scheduled commitments including the
Reference Paper on Pro-Competitive
Regulatory Principles;
(2) Whether Canada or Mexico has
failed to comply with its
telecommunications obligations under
the NAFTA;
(3) Whether Costa Rica, the
Dominican Republic, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras or Nicaragua has
failed to comply with its
telecommunications obligations under
the CAFTA–DR;
(4) Whether Australia, Bahrain, Chile,
Morocco, Oman, Peru, or Singapore has
failed to comply with its
telecommunications obligations under
the respective FTA between the United
States and that country (see https://
www.ustr.gov/trade-agreements/freetrade-agreements for U.S. FTAs);
(5) Whether any country has failed to
comply with its obligations under
telecommunications trade agreements
with the United States other than FTAs,
e.g., Mutual Recognition Agreements
(MRAs) for Conformity Assessment of
Telecommunications Equipment (see
https://ts.nist.gov/standards/conformity/
mra/mra.cfm) for a collection of trade
agreements related, inter alia, to
telecommunications);
(6) Whether any act, policy, or
practice of a country cited in a previous
section 1377 review remains unresolved
(see https://www.ustr.gov/trade-topics/
services-investment/telecom-ecommerce/section-1377-review for the
most recent reviews); and
(7) Whether any measures or practices
impede access to telecommunications
markets or otherwise deny
telecommunications products and
services market opportunities with
respect to any country that is a WTO
member or for which an FTA or
telecommunications trade agreement
has entered into force between such
country and the United States. Measures
or practices of interest include, for
example, prohibitions on voice over
Internet protocol (VOIP) services;
requirements for access to or use of
networks that limit the products or
services U.S. suppliers can offer in
specific markets; the imposition of
excessively high licensing fees;
discriminatory procedures for allocation
and use of spectrum or other scarce
