Act (Pub. L. 112–43; 19 U.S.C. 3805
note), Presidential Proclamation No.
8894 of October 29, 2012 (77 FR 66505)
implemented the Panama TPA on behalf
of the United States and modified the
HTS to reflect the tariff treatment
provided for in the Panama TPA.
Note 35(a) to subchapter XXII of HTS
chapter 98 provides that USTR is
required to publish annually in the
Federal Register a determination of the
amount of Panama’s trade surplus, by
volume, with all sources for goods in HS
subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13, 1701.14,
1701.91, 1701.99, 1702.40 and 1702.60,
except that Panama’s imports of U.S.
goods classified under subheadings
1702.40 and 1702.60 that are originating
goods under the Panama TPA and
Panama’s exports to the United States of
goods classified under subheadings
1701.12, 1701.13, 1701.14, 1701.91 and
1701.99 are not included in the
calculation of Panama’s trade surplus.
Note 35(c) to subchapter XXII of HTS
chapter 98 provides duty-free treatment
for certain sugar goods of Panama
entered under subheading 9822.09.17 in
an amount equal to the lesser of
Panama’s trade surplus or the specific
quantity set out in that note for that
calendar year.
During CY 2011, the most recent year
for which data is available, Panama’s
imports of the sugar and syrup goods
and sugar-containing products
described above exceeded its exports of
those goods by 531 metric tons
according to data published by National
Institute of Statistics and Census, Office
of the General Comptroller of Panama.
Based on this data, USTR determines
that Panama’s trade surplus is negative.
Therefore, in accordance with U.S. Note
35(c) to subchapter XXII of HTS chapter
98, goods of Panama are not eligible to
enter the United States duty-free under
subheading 9822.09.17.

SUMMARY:
Guidance on Review and Approval of
Public Charter Prospectuses: Extension
of Effective Date to January 14, 2013
On November 13, 2012, the
Department of Transportation’s Office of
International Aviation and the Office of
Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings
issued a notice providing guidance on
the review and approval of public
charter prospectuses. 77 FR 69692
(2012). The notice was to have taken
effect on December 12, 2012. By this
addendum, we are deferring the
implementation date until January 14,
2013.
The notice was issued in light of the
bankruptcy of Southern Sky Air &
Tours, LLC d/b/a Direct Air. Our
investigation of Direct Air revealed noncompliance with a number of existing
regulatory requirements designed to
protect consumers. Based on the Direct
Air experience, we determined that by
clarifying certain elements of our public
charter regulations (14 CFR Part 380) we
could promote more effective
compliance with those regulations and
thereby enhance consumer protection.
We have received a number of
comments and questions from members
of the public regarding the November
notice. While we are firmly committed
to enhancing consumer protection and
preventing a recurrence of the type of
problems encountered in the Direct Air
situation, we want to be sure that
interested parties with questions or
comments about the notice have been
afforded a reasonable opportunity to be
heard, and that we have had the
opportunity to consider their views
fully. Therefore, we have decided to
defer the effective date of our notice for
30 days, until January 14, 2013.
Questions and comments regarding our
November notice may be addressed to
the Office of Aviation Enforcement and
Proceedings (C–70), U.S. Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.
