We are soliciting public comments to

estimate of the time and cost burden for
this proposed collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the reporting burden on
those who are to respond, including the

Abstract of proposed collection: The
Birth Affidavit is submitted in
conjunction with an application for a
U.S. passport, and is used by Passport
Services to collect information for the
purpose of establishing the U.S.
nationality of a passport applicant who
has not submitted an acceptable United
States birth certificate with his/her
passport application. The Secretary of
State is authorized to issue U.S.
passports under 22 U.S.C. 211a et seq,
8 U.S.C. 1104, and Executive Order
11295 (August 5, 1966). Pursuant to 22
CFR 51.2, only U.S. nationals may be
issued a U.S. passport. Most passport
applicants show U.S. nationality by
providing a birth certificate showing the
applicant was born in the United States.
Some applicants, however, may have
been born in the United States, but were
never issued a birth certificate. Form
DS–10 is a form affidavit for completion
by a witness to the birth of such an
applicant; it collects information
relevant to establishing the identity of
the affiant, and the birth circumstances
of the passport applicant. If credible, the
affidavit may permit the applicant to
show U.S. nationality based on the
applicant’s birth in the United States,
despite having never been issued a U.S.
birth certificate. We use the information
collected on the person completing the
affidavit to confirm that individual’s
identity, which is relevant to confirming
his or her relationship to the applicant
and the likelihood that the affiant has
actual knowledge of the circumstances
of the applicant’s birth.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
127(b)(1) of the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act (‘‘URAA’’) (19 U.S.C.
3537(b)(1)) requires that notice and
opportunity for comment be provided
after the United States submits or
receives a request for the establishment
of a World Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’)
dispute settlement panel. Pursuant to
this provision, USTR is providing notice
that the United States has requested a
panel pursuant to Article 21.5 of the
WTO Understanding on Rules and
Procedures Governing the Settlement of
Disputes (‘‘DSU’’). Once it is
established, the panel will hold its
meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, and
could issue a report on its findings
within nine months after its
establishment.
Major Issues Raised by the United
States
On November 16, 2012, the WTO
Dispute Settlement Body (‘‘DSB’’)
adopted its recommendations and
rulings in the dispute China—
Countervailing and Anti-Dumping
Duties on Grain Oriented Flat-rolled
Electrical Steel from the United States
(‘‘China—GOES’’) (DS414). The DSB
found that China imposed antidumping
and countervailing duties on U.S.
exports of grain oriented flat-rolled
electrical steel (‘‘GOES’’) in a manner
that breached China’s obligations under
the Agreement on Implementation of
Article VI of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade 1994 (‘‘AD
Agreement’’) and the Agreement on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
(‘‘SCM Agreement’’). The DSB
recommended that China bring its
measures into conformity with its
obligations under these Agreements.
On November 30, 2012, China
announced its intention to implement
the DSB’s recommendations and rulings
in this dispute and stated that it would
need a reasonable period of time in
which to do so. On May 3, 2013, the
arbitrator appointed under Article
21.3(c) of the DSU issued an Award
providing China eight months and 15
days to implement the DSB’s
recommendations and rulings, expiring
on July 31, 2013. On July 31, 2013,
China issued a re-determination in
relation to the duties at issue in this
dispute, as set forth in China’s Ministry
of Commerce (MOFCOM) Public Notice
[2013] No. 51, including its annexes.
This re-determination continues the
imposition of antidumping and
