The Trade Representative’s
determination included a decision to
establish a product exclusion process.
The Trade Representative initiated the
exclusion process in July 2018, and
stakeholders have submitted requests
for the exclusion of specific products. In
December 2018, March 2019, April
2019, May 2019, and June 2019, the
Trade Representative granted exclusion
requests. This notice announces the
Trade Representative’s determination to
grant additional exclusion requests, as
specified in the Annex to this notice.
The Trade Representative will continue
to issue decisions on pending requests
on a periodic basis.
DATES: The product exclusions
announced in this notice will apply as
of the July 6, 2018 effective date of the
$34 billion action, and will extend for
one year after the publication of this
notice. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will issue instructions on
entry guidance and implementation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
general questions about this notice,
contact Assistant General Counsels
Philip Butler or Megan Grimball, or
Director of Industrial Goods Justin
Hoffmann at (202) 395–5725. For
specific questions on customs
classification or implementation of the
product exclusions identified in the
Annex to this notice, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
For background on the proceedings in
this investigation, please see the prior
notices issued in the investigation,
including 82 FR 40213 (August 23,
2017), 83 FR 14906 (April 6, 2018), 83
FR 28710 (June 20, 2018), 83 FR 33608
(July 17, 2018), 83 FR 38760 (August 7,
2018), 83 FR 40823 (August 16, 2018),
83 FR 47974 (September 21, 2018), 83
FR 65198 (December 19, 2018), 83 FR
67463 (December 28, 2018), 84 FR 7966
(March 5, 2019), 84 FR 11152 (March
25, 2019), 84 FR 16310 (April 18, 2019),
84 FR 21389 (May 14, 2019), and 84 FR
25895 (June 4, 2019).
Effective July 6, 2018, the Trade
Representative imposed additional 25
percent duties on goods of China
classified in 818 8-digit subheadings of
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), with an
approximate annual trade value of $34
billion. See 83 FR 28710. The Trade
Representative’s determination included
a decision to establish a process by
which U.S. stakeholders may request
exclusion of particular products
classified within an 8-digit HTSUS
subheading covered by the $34 billion
VerDate Sep<11>2014

action from the additional duties. The
Trade Representative issued a notice
setting out the process for the product
exclusions, and opened a public docket.
See 83 FR 32181 (the July 11 notice).
Under the July 11 notice, requests for
exclusion had to identify the product
subject to the request in terms of the
physical characteristics that distinguish
the product from other products within
the relevant 8-digit subheading covered
by the $34 billion action. Requestors
also had to provide the 10-digit
subheading of the HTSUS most
applicable to the particular product
requested for exclusion, and could
submit information on the ability of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to
administer the requested exclusion.
Requestors were asked to provide the
quantity and value of the Chinese-origin
product that the requestor purchased in
the last three years. With regard to the
rationale for the requested exclusion,
requests had to address the following
factors:
• Whether the particular product is
available only from China and
specifically whether the particular
product and/or a comparable product is
available from sources in the United
States and/or third countries.
• Whether the imposition of
additional duties on the particular
product would cause severe economic
harm to the requestor or other U.S.
interests.
• Whether the particular product is
strategically important or related to
‘‘Made in China 2025’’ or other Chinese
industrial programs.
The July 11 notice stated that the
Trade Representative would take into
account whether an exclusion would
undermine the objective of the Section
301 investigation.
The July 11 notice required
submission of requests for exclusion
from the $34 billion action no later than
October 9, 2018, and noted that the
Trade Representative would
periodically announce decisions. In
December 2018, the Trade
Representative granted an initial set of
exclusion requests. See 83 FR 67463.
The Trade Representative granted a
second, third, fourth and fifth set of
exclusions in March 2019, April 2019,
May 2019, and June 2019. See 84 FR
11152, 84 FR 16310, 84 FR 21389, and
84 FR 25895. The Office of the United
States Trade Representative regularly
updates the status of each pending
request and posts the status within the
web pages for the respective tariff action
they apply to at https://ustr.gov/issueareas/enforcement/section-301investigations/tariff-actions.

B. Determination To Grant Certain
Exclusions
Based on the evaluation of the factors
set out in the July 11 notice, which are
summarized above, pursuant to sections
301(b), 301(c), and 307(a) of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, and in
accordance with the advice of the
interagency Section 301 Committee, the
Trade Representative has determined to
grant the product exclusions set out in
the Annex to this notice. The Trade
Representative’s determination also
takes into account advice from advisory
committees and any public comments
on the pertinent exclusion requests.
As set out in the Annex to this notice,
the exclusions are reflected in 110
specially prepared product descriptions,
which cover 362 separate exclusion
requests.
In accordance with the July 11 notice,
the exclusions are available for any
product that meets the description in
the Annex, regardless of whether the
importer filed an exclusion request.
Further, the scope of each exclusion is
governed by the scope of the product
descriptions in the Annex to this notice,
and not by the product descriptions set
out in any particular request for
exclusion.
Paragraph A, subparagraphs (3)–(5)
are conforming amendments to the
HTSUS reflecting the modification
made by the Annex to this notice.
Paragraph B of the Annex to this
notice modifies U.S. note 20(k)(26) to
subchapter III of chapter 99 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, as set out in the Annex
of the notice published at 84 FR 21389
(May 14, 2019).
In order to clarify the periodic
revisions to the HTSUS, paragraph C of
the Annex modifies the text to U.S. note
20(m)(27) to subchapter III of chapter 99
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States, as set out in the
Annex of the notice published at 84 FR
25895 (June 4, 2019).
Paragraphs D and E of the Annex to
this notice correct a typographical error
in U.S. notes 20(m)(53) and 20(m)(54) to
subchapter III of chapter 99 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, as set out in the Annex
of the notice published at 84 FR 25895
(June 4, 2019).
As stated in the July 11 notice, the
exclusions will apply as of the July 6,
2018 effective date of the $34 billion
action, and extend for one year after the
publication of this notice. U.S. Customs
and Border Protection will issue
instructions on entry guidance and
implementation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The USAF has established Red FlagRescue as an USAF level combat search
and rescue exercise that is conducted
twice a year using the Playas Training
and Research Center located in Grant
and Hidalgo Counties in southwest New
Mexico. The Red Flag-Rescue training
exercise is designed to provide
personnel recovery training for U.S.
combat aircrews, para-rescue teams,
survival specialists, intelligence
personnel, air battle managers, and
personnel from the Joint Personnel
Recovery Center. A TMOA is required
for military aircraft that support the
exercise.
In accordance with Section 102 of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (‘‘NEPA’’), the Council on
Environmental Quality’s (‘‘CEQ’’)
regulations implementing NEPA (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), and other

Sfmt 4703
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
paragraph 8–2, and FAA Order JO
7400.2M, ‘‘Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters,’’ paragraph 32–2–3,
the FAA has conducted an independent
review and evaluation of the USAF’s
SEA, dated February 2018, and its
supporting documents. As a cooperating
agency with responsibility for approving
special use airspace (SUA) under 49
U.S.C. 40103(b)(3)(A), the FAA
provided subject matter expertise and
coordinated with the USAF during the
environmental review process.
Implementation
After evaluating the aeronautical
study and the SEA, the FAA has issued
a FONSI/ROD to establish the Playas
TMOA for a period not to exceed five
days during an 18-day window from
August 10–24, 2019. The Playas TMOA
will be activated by publishing a Notice
to Airman two cycles (56 days) prior to
the exercise in the Notices to Airman
Publication.
FAA circularized the proposed action
from February 23, 2109 through April 1,
2019 in the areas required by JO
7400.2M, which resulted in zero public
comments. The circularization
referenced two events, a USAF exercise
in May 2019 and another in August
2019. The May 2019 event was
canceled, but the August 2019 event is
the proposed action. The FONSI/ROD
and SEA are available upon request by
contacting Paula Miller at: Airspace

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
Notice of Product Exclusions: China's Acts, Policies, and
Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and
Innovation
AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.
ACTION: Notice of product exclusions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Effective July 6, 2018, the U.S. Trade Representative (Trade
Representative) imposed additional duties on goods of China with an
annual trade value of approximately $34 billion (the $34 billion
action) as part of the action in the Section 301 investigation of
China's acts, policies, and practices related to technology transfer,
intellectual property, and innovation.
[[Page 32822]]
The Trade Representative's determination included a decision to
establish a product exclusion process. The Trade Representative
initiated the exclusion process in July 2018, and stakeholders have
submitted requests for the exclusion of specific products. In December
2018, March 2019, April 2019, May 2019, and June 2019, the Trade
Representative granted exclusion requests. This notice announces the
Trade Representative's determination to grant additional exclusion
requests, as specified in the Annex to this notice. The Trade
Representative will continue to issue decisions on pending requests on
a periodic basis.
DATES: The product exclusions announced in this notice will apply as of
the July 6, 2018 effective date of the $34 billion action, and will
extend for one year after the publication of this notice. U.S. Customs
and Border Protection will issue instructions on entry guidance and
implementation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general questions about this
notice, contact Assistant General Counsels Philip Butler or Megan
Grimball, or Director of Industrial Goods Justin Hoffmann at (202) 395-
5725. For specific questions on customs classification or
implementation of the product exclusions identified in the Annex to
this notice, contact [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
For background on the proceedings in this investigation, please see
the prior notices issued in the investigation, including 82 FR 40213
(August 23, 2017), 83 FR 14906 (April 6, 2018), 83 FR 28710 (June 20,
2018), 83 FR 33608 (July 17, 2018), 83 FR 38760 (August 7, 2018), 83 FR
40823 (August 16, 2018), 83 FR 47974 (September 21, 2018), 83 FR 65198
(December 19, 2018), 83 FR 67463 (December 28, 2018), 84 FR 7966 (March
5, 2019), 84 FR 11152 (March 25, 2019), 84 FR 16310 (April 18, 2019),
84 FR 21389 (May 14, 2019), and 84 FR 25895 (June 4, 2019).
Effective July 6, 2018, the Trade Representative imposed additional
25 percent duties on goods of China classified in 818 8-digit
subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS), with an approximate annual trade value of $34 billion. See 83
FR 28710. The Trade Representative's determination included a decision
to establish a process by which U.S. stakeholders may request exclusion
of particular products classified within an 8-digit HTSUS subheading
covered by the $34 billion action from the additional duties. The Trade
Representative issued a notice setting out the process for the product
exclusions, and opened a public docket. See 83 FR 32181 (the July 11
notice).
Under the July 11 notice, requests for exclusion had to identify
the product subject to the request in terms of the physical
characteristics that distinguish the product from other products within
the relevant 8-digit subheading covered by the $34 billion action.
Requestors also had to provide the 10-digit subheading of the HTSUS
most applicable to the particular product requested for exclusion, and
could submit information on the ability of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to administer the requested exclusion. Requestors were asked
to provide the quantity and value of the Chinese-origin product that
the requestor purchased in the last three years. With regard to the
rationale for the requested exclusion, requests had to address the
following factors:
Whether the particular product is available only from
China and specifically whether the particular product and/or a
comparable product is available from sources in the United States and/
or third countries.
Whether the imposition of additional duties on the
particular product would cause severe economic harm to the requestor or
other U.S. interests.
Whether the particular product is strategically important
or related to ``Made in China 2025'' or other Chinese industrial
programs.
The July 11 notice stated that the Trade Representative would take
into account whether an exclusion would undermine the objective of the
Section 301 investigation.
The July 11 notice required submission of requests for exclusion
from the $34 billion action no later than October 9, 2018, and noted
that the Trade Representative would periodically announce decisions. In
December 2018, the Trade Representative granted an initial set of
exclusion requests. See 83 FR 67463. The Trade Representative granted a
second, third, fourth and fifth set of exclusions in March 2019, April
2019, May 2019, and June 2019. See 84 FR 11152, 84 FR 16310, 84 FR
21389, and 84 FR 25895. The Office of the United States Trade
Representative regularly updates the status of each pending request and
posts the status within the web pages for the respective tariff action
they apply to at https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/enforcement/section-301-investigations/tariff-actions.
B. Determination To Grant Certain Exclusions
Based on the evaluation of the factors set out in the July 11
notice, which are summarized above, pursuant to sections 301(b),
301(c), and 307(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and in
accordance with the advice of the interagency Section 301 Committee,
the Trade Representative has determined to grant the product exclusions
set out in the Annex to this notice. The Trade Representative's
determination also takes into account advice from advisory committees
and any public comments on the pertinent exclusion requests.
As set out in the Annex to this notice, the exclusions are
reflected in 110 specially prepared product descriptions, which cover
362 separate exclusion requests.
In accordance with the July 11 notice, the exclusions are available
for any product that meets the description in the Annex, regardless of
whether the importer filed an exclusion request. Further, the scope of
each exclusion is governed by the scope of the product descriptions in
the Annex to this notice, and not by the product descriptions set out
in any particular request for exclusion.
Paragraph A, subparagraphs (3)-(5) are conforming amendments to the
HTSUS reflecting the modification made by the Annex to this notice.
Paragraph B of the Annex to this notice modifies U.S. note
20(k)(26) to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, as set out in the Annex of the notice
published at 84 FR 21389 (May 14, 2019).
In order to clarify the periodic revisions to the HTSUS, paragraph
C of the Annex modifies the text to U.S. note 20(m)(27) to subchapter
III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States, as set out in the Annex of the notice published at 84 FR 25895
(June 4, 2019).
Paragraphs D and E of the Annex to this notice correct a
typographical error in U.S. notes 20(m)(53) and 20(m)(54) to subchapter
III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States, as set out in the Annex of the notice published at 84 FR 25895
(June 4, 2019).
As stated in the July 11 notice, the exclusions will apply as of
the July 6, 2018 effective date of the $34 billion action, and extend
for one year after the publication of this notice. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will issue instructions on entry guidance and
implementation.

The Trade Representative will continue to issue determinations on
pending requests on a periodic basis.
