practices of Ukraine are unreasonable
and burden or restrict United States
commerce and are thus actionable under
section 301(b) of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended (Trade Act). In light of the
current political situation in Ukraine,
the Trade Representative has
determined that no action under section
301 is appropriate at this time.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding this investigation
should be directed as appropriate to:
Elizabeth Kendall, Director for
Intellectual Property and Innovation,
Office of the United States Trade
Representative, at (202) 395–3580;
Isabella Detwiler, Director for Europe, at
(202) 395–6146; or Shannon Nestor,
Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 395–

DATES: The Trade Representative made

on February 28, 2014.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
30, 2013, the Trade Representative
initiated a Section 301 investigation of
certain acts, policies, and practices of
the Government of Ukraine with respect
to intellectual property rights. See
Identification of Ukraine as a Priority
Foreign Country and Initiation of
Section 301 Investigation, 78 FR 33886
(June 5, 2013). The acts, policies, and
practices subject to investigation were
those that formed the basis of Ukraine’s
designation in the May 1, 2013 Special
301 Report as a Priority Foreign
Country. Those acts, policies, and
practices involved: (1) The
administration of Ukraine’s system for
collecting societies, which are
responsible for collecting and
distributing royalties to U.S. and other
rights holders; (2) use of infringing
software by Ukrainian government
agencies; and (3) online infringement of
copyright and related rights. The notice
of initiation proposed a determination
that these acts, policies, and practices
are actionable under section 301(b),
invited public comments on the matters
subject to investigation, and provided
notice of a public hearing.
The Office of the United States Trade
Representative (USTR) held the public
hearing on September 9, 2013. See
Notice of Rescheduled Hearing in the
Section 301 Investigation of Ukraine, 78
FR 45011 (July 25, 2013). Written
submissions and testimony may be
viewed on www.regulations.gov under
the above-referenced docket number.
On November 29, 2013, the Trade
Representative determined to extend the
investigation by three months, such that
the determinations in the investigation
would be made by no later than
February 28, 2014. See Notice of

Jkt 232001
Determination to Extend Section 301
Investigation of Ukraine, 78 FR 72141
(December 2, 2013).
During the investigation, U.S. and
Ukrainian officials held constructive
discussions regarding the acts, policies
and practices subject to investigation.
However, U.S. concerns with those acts,
policies, and practices were not
resolved.
Based on the information obtained
during the investigation, and consistent
with the recommendation of the
interagency Section 301 Committee, the
Trade Representative has determined
under Section 304(a)(1)(A) and (B) of
the Trade Act that: (1) The acts, policies,
and practices subject to investigation are
unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce, and are thus actionable
under Section 301(b) of the Trade Act;
and (2) in light of the current political
situation in Ukraine, no action under
Section 301(b) is appropriate at this
time.
USTR remains committed to
addressing the matters subject to
investigation, and looks forward to
further engagement with the
Government of Ukraine at an
appropriate time.
