Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices
of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202(c)) for
being designated as a beneficiary
country. Therefore, as provided for in
section 208(a)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
3206(a)(3)), no duty free treatment or
other preferential treatment extended
under the ATPA remained in effect with
respect to Bolivia after June 30, 2009.
Further, Section 201 of the Omnibus
Trade Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–344),
which re-authorized the ATPDEA,
terminated any duty free treatment or
other preferential treatment available
under ATPDEA to Peru, effective
December 31, 2010.
On February 12, 2011, the trade
benefits conferred under the ATPDEA
lapsed but were re-instated retroactively
on October 21, 2011 for eligible
countries (Colombia and Ecuador) via
section 501 of the United StatesColombia Trade Promotion Agreement
Implementation Act (CTPA) (19 U.S.C.
3805 Note). As of May 15, 2012, with
the entry into force of the CTPA, only
Ecuador remained eligible for benefits
under the program.
Consistent with Section 3103(d) of the
ATPDEA, USTR promulgated
regulations (15 CFR part 2016) (68 FR
43922) regarding the review of
eligibility of articles and countries for
the benefits of the ATPA, as amended.
The 2012 Annual ATPA Review is the
eighth such review to be conducted
pursuant to the ATPA review
regulations. To qualify for the benefits
of the ATPA and ATPDEA, each country
must meet several eligibility criteria, as
set forth in sections 203(c) and (d), and
section 204(b)(6)(B) of the ATPA, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 3202(c), (d); 19
U.S.C. 3203(b)(6)(B)), and as outlined in
the Federal Register notice USTR
published to request public comments
regarding the designation of eligible
countries as ATPDEA beneficiary
countries (67 FR 53379). Under section
203(e) of the ATPA, as amended (19
U.S.C. 3202(e)), the President may
withdraw or suspend the designation of
any country as an ATPA or ATPDEA
beneficiary country, and may also
withdraw, suspend, or limit preferential
treatment for any product of any such
beneficiary country, if the President
determines that, as a result of changed
circumstances, the country is not
meeting the eligibility criteria.
Notice is hereby given that, in order
to be considered in the 2012 Annual
ATPA Review, all petitions to withdraw
or suspend the designation of a country
as an ATPA or ATPDEA beneficiary
country, or to withdraw, suspend, or
limit application of preferential
treatment to any article of any ATPA
beneficiary country under the ATPA, or
to any article of any ATPDEA

ACTION:

Notice for public comment.
This Notice Announcement is
a request for public comment on a
proposal to decommission all 29
Direction Finders (DF) and the
associated DF approaches in Alaska. DF
usage for pilot orientation has become
almost non-existent. Since 2004, the
Alaska Flight Service Information Area
Group (AFSIAG) has documented eight
flight assists that involved lost or
disoriented pilots. Of these, the use of
DF equipment was documented three
times. Since 2008, there have been no
flight assists, nor usage of DF equipment
for orientation services. Newer
technologies such as Global Positioning
System (GPS) and Automatic Dependent
Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS—B) have
reduced the utilization of DF steers.
Flight Service Stations have other tools
available to assist lost or disoriented
pilots, such as VOR, ADF, and GPS, that
meet the needs of our aviation
community. DF equipment is beyond its
useful lifecycle.
