Review of Action: Enforcement of U.S. WTO Rights in Large Civil Aircraft Dispute

AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative. ACTION: Request for comments.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Trade Representative is conducting a review of the action being taken in the Section 301 investigation involving the enforcement of U.S. World Trade Organization (WTO) rights in the Large Civil Aircraft dispute. In connection with this review, the U.S. Trade Representative is considering modifying the list of products of certain current or former European Union (EU) member States that currently are subject to additional duties. Annex I to this notice contains the list of products currently subject to additional duties. Annex II contains a list of products, originally published in the April and July 2019 notices in this investigation, under consideration but not currently subject to additional duties. Annex III contains a new list of products being considered for imposition of additional duties. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) requests comments with respect to whether products listed in Annex I should be removed from the list or remain on the list; whether the rate of additional duty on specific products should be increased, up to a level of 100 percent; whether additional duties should be imposed on specific products listed in Annex II or Annex III; and on the rate of additional duty of up to 100 percent to be applied to any products drawn from Annex II or Annex III. On June 26, 2020, USTR is opening an electronic portal for submission of comments regarding the review of the action. DATES:

June 26, 2020: The docket entitled ‘‘Comments Concerning the Enforcement of U.S. WTO Rights in Large Civil Aircraft Dispute’’ will open on USTR’s comment portal: https://comments.ustr.gov/s/.

July 26, 2020: To be assured of consideration, you must submit comments by this date. ADDRESSES: You must submit comments through the online comment portal: https://comments.ustr.gov/s/. Follow

the instructions for submitting comments in section D below. For issues with on-line submissions, please contact the USTR Section 301 line at (202) 395–5725. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions about the investigation, contact Associate General Counsel Megan Grimball at (202) 395–5725, or Director for Europe Michael Rogers at (202) 395–3320.

A. Proceedings in the Investigation

For background on the proceedings in this investigation, please see the prior notices issued in the investigation: 84 FR 15028 (April 12, 2019), 84 FR 32248 (July 5, 2019), 84 FR 54245 (October 9, 2019), 84 FR 55998 (October 18, 2019), 84 FR 67992 (December 12, 2019), 85 FR 10204 (February 21, 2020), 85 FR 14517 (March 12, 2020) and, 85 FR 31845 (May 27, 2020).

B. Review of the Action in the Investigation

The U.S. Trade Representative is conducting a review of the action being taken in the investigation to facilitate a possible modification of the action in accordance with Section 306(b)(2)(B)(i) of the 1974 Trade Act, as amended. USTR invites public comments with respect to the maintenance or imposition of additional duties on the specific products of specific current or former EU member States indicated on the lists in the Annexes to this notice. Annex I lists the specific products of current or former EU member States that currently are subject to additional duties of 15 or 25 percent. See 85 FR 10204. Annex II lists products of current or former EU member States for which additional duties of up to 100 percent previously were proposed, but for which no additional duties currently are imposed in this investigation. See 84 FR 15028 and 84 FR 32248.

In addition, the U.S. Trade Representative is considering an additional list of products of France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom that may be included on a final list of products subject to additional ad valorem duties of up to 100 percent. The additional list of products (included in Annex III to this notice) contains 30 tariff subheadings with an approximate value of $3.1 billion in terms of the estimated import trade value for calendar year 2018. If the U.S. Trade Representative determines to modify the action being taken in the

investigation, the final list of products subject to additional duties in the action may be drawn from the list of products in Annexes I, II, or III.

C. Request for Public Comments With respect to products listed in

Annex I, USTR invites comments on whether specific products of current or former EU member States should remain on or be removed from the list, and if a product remains on the list, whether the current rate of additional duty should be increased to as high as 100 percent.

With respect to products listed in Annexes II and III, USTR invites comments on whether specific products of specific current or former EU member States should be included on a revised list of products subject to additional duties, and the rate of additional duty (as high as 100 percent) that should be imposed.

USTR invites interested persons to address:

• Whether maintaining or imposing additional duties on a specific product of one or more current or former EU member States would be appropriate to enforce U.S. WTO rights or to obtain the elimination of the EU’s WTO- inconsistent measures, and/or would likely result in the implementation of the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) recommendations in the Large Civil Aircraft dispute or in achieving a mutually satisfactory solution.

• Whether maintaining or imposing additional duties on specific products of one or more current or former EU member States would cause disproportionate economic harm to U.S. interests, including small or medium- size businesses and consumers.

D. Procedures for Submission of Comments

BILLING CODE 3290–F8–C

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in California

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for judicial review of actions by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to announce actions taken by Caltrans that are final. The actions relate to a proposed highway project, San Diego Freeway (I–405) Improvement Project from State Route (SR) 73 to Interstate 605 (I–605) in Orange County, State of California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project. DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is advising the public of final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or before November 23, 2020. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For Caltrans: Smita Deshpande, Branch Chief, California Department of Transportation District 12, Division of Environmental Analysis, 1750 East 4th Street, Santa Ana, California 92705, during normal business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Telephone number (657) 328–6151, email: [email protected]. For FHWA, contact David Tedrick at (916) 498–5024 or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and the Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that Caltrans has taken final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals or by reviewing previously-issued approvals for the following highway project in the State of California: Interstate 405 Improvements Project (‘‘project’’). The project will improve 16 miles of I–405 between the SR–73 freeway and I–605 by adding one general purpose lane in each direction between Euclid Street and I–605 and one tolled Express Lane in each direction between SR–73 and SR–22, to be managed jointly with the existing HOV Lane as tolled Express Facility with two lanes in each direction. A re- evaluation (23 CFR 771.129, and also known as a revalidation) was performed and approved on April 9, 2020. The conclusion of the re-evaluation was the Final Environmental Impact Statement and the Record of Decision for the project, issued on March 26, 2015 and May 15, 2020, respectively, remain valid and no Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement was warranted. The re-evaluation reviewed minor changes to the planned drainage system and associated features proximate to the Northbound I–405 off-ramp to Eastbound SR–22/Valley View in the City of Westminster, California. The pre- existing drainage system, which is a Caltrans facility entirely within the Caltrans right of way, was a road-side ditch or trapezoidal drainage channel adjacent to the right of way that ran parallel to the freeway and eventually drained into the Bolsa Chica Channel. The project design changes involve modifications to increase the capacity of water flowing from the adjacent watershed into Drainage System 828. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the re-evaluation approved on April 9, 2020. The re-

evaluation is available at the addresses provided above.

This notice applies to all Federal agency decisions as of the issuance date of this notice and all laws under which such actions were taken, including but not limited to:

1. General: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321– 4351)

2. Air: Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401– 7671(q))

3. Wildlife: Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712); Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531–1543)

4. Historic and Cultural Resources: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470(f) et seq.);

5. Wetland and Water Resources: Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251–1377) (Section 404, Section 401, Section 319);

6. Land: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, (49 U.S.C. 303) (Section 4(f))

7. Executive Orders: E.O. 11990— Protection of Wetlands; E.O. 11988—Floodplain Management; E.O. 12898—Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority and Low Income Populations; E.O. 11593— Protection and Enhancement of Cultural Resources; E.O. 13112— Invasive Species.

(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Program Number 20.205, Highway Planning and Construction. The regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 regarding intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities apply to this program.)

Authority: 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1).

Issued on: June 18, 2020. Rodney Whitfield, Director, Financial Services, Federal Highway Administration, California Division. [FR Doc. 2020–13851 Filed 6–25–20; 8:45 am]
