calculated margins of dumping through
its application of an alternative, averageto-transaction comparison methodology
and its alleged use of a methodology
that Korea describes as ‘‘zeroing.’’ Korea
alleges that the final LTFV
determination and antidumping duty
order, as well as ‘‘preliminary and final
determinations in administrative
reviews, new shipper reviews, sunset
reviews, changed circumstances
reviews, and other segments’’ are
inconsistent with Articles 1, 2.1, 2.4,
2.4.2, 5.8, 9.3, 9.5, 11.2, and 11.3 of the
Anti-Dumping Agreement, and Articles
VI:1 and VI:2 of the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade 1994.
Korea also challenges ‘‘as such’’ the
Department of Commerce’s use of an
alternative, average-to-transaction
comparison methodology and its alleged
use of a methodology that Korea
describes as ‘‘zeroing.’’ Korea alleges
that these methodologies are
inconsistent, ‘‘as such,’’ with Articles 1,
2.1, 2.4, 2.4.2, 9.3, 9.5, 11.2, 11.3, and
18.4 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement,
Articles VI:1 and VI:2 of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994,
and Article XVI:4 of the WTO
Agreement.
Korea further alleges that the
Department of Commerce improperly
calculated countervailing duties with
respect to certain tax credits received by
one respondent. Korea alleges that the
final countervailing duty determination
and countervailing duty order, as well
as ‘‘preliminary and final
determinations in administrative
reviews, new shipper reviews, sunset
reviews, changed circumstances
reviews, and other segments’’ are
inconsistent with Articles 1.1, 1.2, 2.1,
2.2, 10, 14, 19.4, and 32.1 of the
Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures, and with
Article VI:3 of the General Agreement

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces the availability of two
new and eight revised consensus
standards to previously accepted
consensus standards relating to the
provisions of the Sport Pilot and LightSport Aircraft rule. ASTM International
Committee F37 on Light Sport Aircraft
developed the new and revised
standards. The FAA expects a suitable
consensus standard to be reviewed at
least every two years. The two-year
review cycle will result in a standard
revision or reapproval. A standard is
issued under a fixed designation (i.e.,
F2244); the number immediately
following the designation indicates the
year of original adoption or, in the case
of revision, the year of last revision. A
number in parentheses indicates the
year of last reapproval. A reapproval
indicates a two-year review cycle
completed with no technical changes. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an
editorial change since the last revision
or reapproval. A notice of availability
(NOA) will only be issued for new or
revised standards. Reapproved
standards issued with no technical
changes or standards issued with
editorial changes only (i.e., superscript
epsilon (e)) are considered accepted by
the FAA without need for a NOA.
Comments Invited: Interested persons
are invited to submit such written data,
views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Communications should identify the
consensus standard number and be
submitted to the address specified
above. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments
will be forwarded to ASTM
International Committee F37 for
consideration. The standard may be
changed in light of the comments
received. The FAA will address all
comments received during the recurring
review of the consensus standard and
will participate in the consensus
standard revision process.

Background: Under the provisions of
the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft
rule, and revised Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A–119,
‘‘Federal Participation in the
Development and Use of Voluntary
Consensus Standards and in Conformity
Assessment Activities’’, dated February
10, 1998, industry and the FAA have
been working with ASTM International
to develop consensus standards for
light-sport aircraft. These consensus
standards satisfy the FAA’s goal for
airworthiness certification and a
verifiable minimum safety level for
light-sport aircraft. Instead of
developing airworthiness standards
through the rulemaking process, the
FAA participates as a member of
Committee F37 in developing these
standards. The use of the consensus
standard process assures government
and industry discussion and agreement
on appropriate standards for the
required level of safety.
Comments on Previous Notices of
Availability
In the Notice of Availability (NOA)
issued on May 31, 2013, and published
in the Federal Register on June 11, 2013
the FAA asked for public comments on
the new and revised consensus
standards accepted by that NOA. The
comment period closed on August 12,
2013. No public comments were
received regarding the standards
accepted by this NOA.
Consensus Standards in This Notice of
Availability
The FAA has reviewed the standards
presented in this NOA for compliance
with the regulatory requirements of the
rule. Any light-sport aircraft issued a
special light-sport airworthiness
certificate, which has been designed,
manufactured, operated and
maintained, in accordance with this and
previously accepted ASTM consensus
standards provides the public with the
appropriate level of safety established
under the regulations. Manufacturers
who choose to produce these aircraft
and certificate these aircraft under 14
CFR part 21, §§ 21.190 or 21.191 are
subject to the applicable consensus
standard requirements. The FAA
maintains a listing of all accepted
standards on the FAA Web site.
The Revised Consensus Standard and
Effective Period of Use
The following previously accepted
consensus standards have been revised,
and this NOA is accepting the later
revision. Either the previous revision or
the later revision may be used for the
initial certification of special light-sport

aircraft until August 27, 2014. This
overlapping period of time will allow
aircraft that have started the initial
certification process using the previous
revision level to complete that process.
After August 27, 2014, manufacturers
must use the later revision and must
identify the later revision in the
Statement of Compliance for initial
certification of special light-sport
aircraft unless the FAA publishes a
specific notification otherwise. The
