[Docket Number USTR-2018-0021; Dispute Number WT/DS536]
WTO Dispute Settlement Proceeding Regarding United States--Anti-
Dumping Measures on Fish Fillets From Vietnam
AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.
ACTION: Notice with request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is
providing notice that Vietnam has requested the establishment of a
dispute settlement panel under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the
World Trade Organization (WTO Agreement). You can find the request at
www.wto.org in a document designated as WT/DS536/2. USTR invites
written comments concerning the issues raised in this dispute.
DATES: Although USTR will accept any comments during the course of the
dispute settlement proceedings, you should submit your comment on or
before September 4, 2018, to be assured of timely consideration by
USTR.
ADDRESSES: USTR strongly prefers electronic submissions made through
the Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments in Section III below. The docket
number USTR-2018-0021. For alternatives to on-line submissions, please
contact Sandy McKinzy at (202) 395-9483.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Assistant General Counsel Ryan Majerus
at [email protected] or (202) 395-0380.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 127(b)(1) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (19
U.S.C. 3537(b)(1)) requires notice and opportunity for comment after
the United States submits or receives a request for the establishment
of a WTO dispute settlement panel. Pursuant to this provision, USTR is
providing notice that Vietnam has requested a dispute settlement panel
pursuant to the WTO Understanding on Rules Procedures Governing the
Settlement of Disputes (DSU). The panel established by the WTO will
hold its meetings in Geneva, Switzerland.
II. Major Issues Raised by Vietnam
On January 8, 2018, Vietnam requested consultations with the United
States. You can find the consultation request at www.wto.org in a
document designated as WT/DS536/1. The United States and Vietnam held
consultations on March 1, 2018. On June 8, 2018, Vietnam requested the
WTO to establish a WTO dispute settlement panel regarding the U.S.
Department of Commerce (DOC) determinations in the following
antidumping proceedings on Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Fifth Administrative Review and Fourth New Shipper Review:
Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (DOC
investigation number A-552-801).
Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam: Sixth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and New Shipper
Review (DOC investigation number A-552-801).
Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam: Seventh Antidumping Duty Administrative Review (DOC
investigation number A-552-801).
Vietnam's request for establishment of a panel appears to be
concerned with the alleged use of ``zeroing'', timeliness of a request
for revocation, applying a Vietnam-wide entity rate based on facts
available, and Section 129 of the URAA. Vietnam claims that certain
alleged measures of the United States are not consistent with the
United States' obligations under Articles 1, 2, 6, 9, 11, and 18 the
WTO Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (Antidumping Agreement), Articles VI and XVI
of the GATT 1994, and Paragraph 1.2 of Part I of the Protocol on the
Accession of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (Accession Protocol).

the panel, and, if applicable, the report of the Appellate Body, also
will be available on the website of the World Trade Organization, at
