[Docket Number USTR–2019–0024]
Request for Comments Concerning the
Extension of Particular Exclusions
Granted Under the March 2019 Product
Exclusion Notice From the $34 Billion
Action Pursuant to Section 301:
China’s Acts, Policies, and Practices
Related to Technology Transfer,
Intellectual Property, and Innovation
Office of the United States
Trade Representative.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
Effective July 6, 2018, the U.S.
Trade Representative imposed
additional duties on goods of China
with an annual trade value of
approximately $34 billion 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.
SUMMARY:
Abstract of Proposed Collection
VerDate Sep<11>2014
adopted by a United States citizen,
subject to criteria prescribed by the
Secretary of State. Over 350 American
families have successfully adopted
children from the Democratic Republic
of the Congo. However, since September
25, 2013, they have not been able to
bring their adoptive children home to
the United States because the
Democratic Republic of the Congo
suspended the issuance of ‘‘exit
permits’’ for these children. As the
permit suspension drags on, however,
American families are repeatedly paying
visa renewal and related fees, while also
continuing to be separated from their
adopted children.
The waiver or refund provides
support and relief to American families
seeking to bring their adoptive children
home to the United States from the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and
families in situations similar to the one
stipulated above. This form collects
information to determine the extra fees
these families have paid and refund
them in accordance with the Adoptive
Family Relief Act.

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 40823
(August 16, 2018), 83 FR 47974
(September 21, 2018), 83 FR 65198
(December 19, 2018), 84 FR 7966 (March
5, 2019), 84 FR 20459 (May 9, 2019), 84
FR 43304 (August 20, 2019), and 84 FR
45821 (August 30, 2019).
Effective July 6, 2018, the U.S. 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 U.S.

action from the additional duties. The
U.S. 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).
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 U.S.
Trade Representative periodically
would announce decisions. The U.S.
Trade Representative granted multiple
sets of exclusions. The second set of
exclusions was granted in March 2019,
and are scheduled to expire on March
25, 2020. See 84 FR 11152 (March 25,
2019) (March 2019 notice).
B. Possible Extensions of Particular
Product Exclusions
The U.S. Trade Representative has
decided to consider a possible extension
for up to 12 months of particular
exclusions granted in the March 2019
notice. Accordingly, USTR invites
public comments on whether to extend
particular exclusions granted in the
March 2019 notice. At this time, USTR
is not considering comments concerning
possible extensions of exclusions
granted under any other product
exclusion notice.
USTR will evaluate the possible
extension of each exclusion on a caseby-case basis. The focus of the
evaluation will be whether, despite the
first imposition of these additional
duties in July 2018, the particular
product remains available only from
China. In addressing this factor,
commenters should address specifically:
• Whether the particular product
and/or a comparable product is
available from sources in the United
States and/or in third countries.
• Any changes in the global supply
chain since July 2018 with respect to the
particular product or any other relevant
industry developments.
• The efforts, if any, the importers or
U.S. purchasers have undertaken since
July 2018 to source the product from the
United States or third countries.
In addition, USTR will continue to
consider whether the imposition of
additional duties on the products
covered by the exclusion will result in
severe economic harm to the commenter
or other U.S. interests.
USTR strongly encourages that
commenters complete Form A (which
will be posted on USTR’s website by the
time the docket opens) and submit the
completed Form A to https://
www.regulations.gov. The docket
number is USTR–2019–0024. USTR will
post completed Form A’s on the public
docket.

In addition to submitting Form A,
commenters who are importers and/or
purchasers of the products covered by
the exclusion also should complete
Form B (which will be posted on
USTR’s website by the time the docket
opens) and submit it, along with a copy
of their completed Form A, via email at
301bcisubmissions@ustr.eop.gov. Form
A must be submitted via email with
Form B and submitted as a single
document (without Form B) to docket
USTR–2019–0024 at https://

extending the exclusion.
Commenters also may provide any
other information or data that they
consider relevant.

granted multiple sets of exclusions. The second set of exclusions was
granted in March 2019, and are scheduled to expire on March 25, 2020.
The U.S. Trade Representative has decided to consider a possible
extension for up to 12 months of particular exclusions granted in March
2019. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) invites public
comment on whether to extend particular exclusions.
DATES: January 15, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. ET: The docket (USTR-2019-0024)

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 40823 (August 16, 2018), 83 FR 47974 (September 21, 2018),
83 FR 65198 (December 19, 2018), 84 FR 7966 (March 5, 2019), 84 FR
20459 (May 9, 2019), 84 FR 43304 (August 20, 2019), and 84 FR 45821
(August 30, 2019).
Effective July 6, 2018, the U.S. 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 U.S. Trade Representative's determination included
a decision to establish a process by which U.S. stakeholders can
request exclusion of particular products classified within an 8-digit
HTSUS subheading covered by the $34 billion
[[Page 72103]]
action from the additional duties. The U.S. 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).
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 U.S. Trade Representative periodically would announce
decisions. The U.S. Trade Representative granted multiple sets of
exclusions. The second set of exclusions was granted in March 2019, and
are scheduled to expire on March 25, 2020. See 84 FR 11152 (March 25,
2019) (March 2019 notice).
B. Possible Extensions of Particular Product Exclusions
The U.S. Trade Representative has decided to consider a possible
extension for up to 12 months of particular exclusions granted in the
March 2019 notice. Accordingly, USTR invites public comments on whether
to extend particular exclusions granted in the March 2019 notice. At
this time, USTR is not considering comments concerning possible
extensions of exclusions granted under any other product exclusion
notice.
USTR will evaluate the possible extension of each exclusion on a
case-by-case basis. The focus of the evaluation will be whether,
despite the first imposition of these additional duties in July 2018,
the particular product remains available only from China. In addressing
this factor, commenters should address specifically:
Whether the particular product and/or a comparable product
is available from sources in the United States and/or in third
countries.
Any changes in the global supply chain since July 2018
with respect to the particular product or any other relevant industry
developments.
The efforts, if any, the importers or U.S. purchasers have
undertaken since July 2018 to source the product from the United States
or third countries.
In addition, USTR will continue to consider whether the imposition
of additional duties on the products covered by the exclusion will
result in severe economic harm to the commenter or other U.S.
interests.
USTR strongly encourages that commenters complete Form A (which
will be posted on USTR's website by the time the docket opens) and
submit the completed Form A to https://www.regulations.gov. The docket
number is USTR-2019-0024. USTR will post completed Form A's on the
public docket.
In addition to submitting Form A, commenters who are importers and/
or purchasers of the products covered by the exclusion also should
complete Form B (which will be posted on USTR's website by the time the
docket opens) and submit it, along with a copy of their completed Form
A, via email at [email protected]. Form A must be
submitted via email with Form B and submitted as a single document
(without Form B) to docket USTR-2019-0024 at https://www.regulations.gov.
Form B requests BCI information, and will not be posted on the
public docket. To facilitate advance preparation of submissions,
facsimiles of Forms A and B are annexed to this notice and will be
available electronically at https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/enforcement/section-301-investigations/section-301-china/34-billion-trade-action.
Set forth below is a summary of the information to be entered on
Form A:
Contact information, including the full legal name of the
organization making the comment, whether the commenter is a third party
(e.g., law firm, trade association, or customs broker) submitting on
behalf of an organization or industry, and the name of the third party
organization, if applicable.
The publication date of the Federal Register notice
containing the exclusion on which you are commenting. Since USTR at
