Abstract of Proposed Collection
Under 22 United States Code (U.S.C.)
Section 211a et seq. and Executive
Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), the
Secretary of State has authority to issue
U.S. passports to U.S. citizens and noncitizen nationals. When the bearer of a
valid U.S. passport applies for a new
passport book and/or passport card with
corrected personal data or when the
bearer of a limited validity passport
applies for a fully-valid replacement
passport, the Department must confirm
the applicant’s identity and eligibility to
receive passport services before the
Department can issue the corrected or
replacement passport to the applicant.
Form DS–5504 requests information that
is necessary to determine whether the
applicant is eligible to receive this
service in accordance with the
requirements of Title III of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
(U.S.C. sections 1402–1504), the
regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 51,
and other applicable treaties and laws.
Methodology
Passport Services collects information
from U.S. citizens and non-citizen
nationals when they complete and
submit the Application for a U.S.
Passport: Name Change, Data
Correction, and Limited Passport Book
Replacement. Passport applicants can
either download the DS–5504 from the
internet or obtain one from an
Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency.
The form must be completed, signed,
and submitted along with the
applicant’s valid U.S. passport and
supporting documents for corrective
action.

Major Issues Raised by Korea
On August 29, 2013, Korea requested
consultations concerning antidumping
and countervailing duty measures on
washers from Korea. With respect to the
antidumping measures, Korea
challenges any determination by the
Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’)
in which Commerce has applied or may
apply a methodology that Korea
describes as ‘‘zeroing.’’ Korea’s
challenge includes the completed
antidumping investigation of washers
from Korea, as well as future
preliminary and final determinations in
administrative reviews, new shipper
reviews, sunset reviews and changed
circumstances reviews. Korea also
challenges any determination by
Commerce in the washers antidumping
proceeding in which Commerce has
applied or may apply the second
sentence of Article 2.4.2 of the
Agreement on Implementation of Article
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:16 Sep 20, 2013
Jkt 229001
VI of the GATT 1994 (‘‘AD Agreement’’)
so as to use a methodology that Korea
describes as ‘‘zeroing.’’
In addition, Korea challenges what it
describes as ‘‘[t]he United States’
methodology of ‘zeroing’ as such when
using the weighted average-totransaction comparison methodology in
anti-dumping investigations,
administrative reviews and other
segments of anti-dumping proceedings.’’
Korea also challenges Commerce’s
‘‘methodology for applying the second
sentence of Article 2.4.2 as such.’’
With respect to the countervailing
duty measures on washers from Korea,
Korea challenges Commerce’s
determination that Article 10(1)(3) of
Korea’s Restriction of Special Taxation
Act (‘‘RSTA’’) is a subsidy that is
specific within the meaning of Article
2.1 of the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures (‘‘SCM
Agreement’’), and Commerce’s
determination of the amount of subsidy
benefit received by a respondent.
Korea also challenges Commerce’s
determination that Article 26 of the
RSTA is a regionally specific subsidy,
and Commerce’s imposition of
countervailing duties on one respondent
that were attributable to tax credits that
the respondent received for investments
that it made under Article 26 of the
RSTA.
Finally, Korea challenges Commerce’s
treatment of the Korea Development
Bank (‘‘KDB’’) and Industrial Bank of
Korea (‘‘IBK’’) as public bodies within
the meaning of Article 1.1(a)(1)(i) of the
SCM Agreement as well as Commerce’s
determination that ‘‘the financing
provided by the KDB and IBK were
commercially unreasonable and thus
conferred benefit within the meaning of
[Article 1.2 and Article 14 of the SCM
Agreement].’’
Korea alleges inconsistencies with
Articles 1, 2, 2.1, 2.4, 2.4.2, 5.8, 9.3, 9.4,
9.5, 11, and 18.4 of the AD Agreement,
Articles 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 10, 14, and
19.4 of the SCM Agreement, Articles VI,
VI:1, VI:2, and VI:3 of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994

which Commerce has applied or may apply the second sentence of Article
2.4.2 of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the GATT 1994

``zeroing.''
In addition, Korea challenges what it describes as ``[t]he United
States' methodology of `zeroing' as such when using the weighted
average-to-transaction comparison methodology in anti-dumping

The www.regulations.gov Web site allows users to provide comments
by filling in a ``Type Comments'' field, or by attaching a document
using an ``Upload File'' field. It is expected that most comments will
be provided in an attached document. If a document is attached, it is
sufficient to type ``See attached'' in the ``Type Comments'' field.
A person requesting that information contained in a comment that
he/she submitted be treated as confidential business information must
certify that such information is business confidential and would not
customarily be released to the public by the submitter. Confidential
business information must be clearly designated as such and the
submission must be marked ``BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL'' at the top and
bottom of the cover page and each succeeding page. Any comment
containing business confidential information must be submitted by fax

confidential information must be submitted to www.regulations.gov. The
non-confidential summary will be placed in the docket and will be open
to public inspection.
USTR may determine that information or advice contained in a
comment submitted, other than business confidential information, is
confidential in accordance with Section 135(g)(2) of the Trade Act of
1974 (19 U.S.C. 2155(g)(2)). If the submitter believes that information
or advice may qualify as such, the submitter--
(1) Must clearly so designate the information or advice;
(2) Must clearly mark the material as ``SUBMITTED IN CONFIDENCE''
at the top and bottom of the cover page and each succeeding page; and
(3) Must provide a non-confidential summary of the information or
advice.
