Opportunities for Government-Funded Airport Construction Projects

AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 533 of the Airport and Airway Improvement 
Act of 1982, as amended (49 U.S.C. 50104), the United States Trade 
Representative (USTR) has determined not to list any countries as 
denying fair market opportunities for U.S. products, suppliers, or 
bidders in foreign government-funded airport construction projects.

DATES: Effective Date: April 24, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Pietan, International 
Procurement Negotiator, Office of the United States Trade 
Representative, (202) 395-9646, or Arthur Tsao, Assistant General 
Counsel, Office of the United States Trade Representative, (202) 395-
6987.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 533 of the Airport and Airway 
Improvement Act of 1982, as amended by section 115 of the Airport and 
Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1987, Public Law 100-223 
(codified at 49 U.S.C. 50104) (``the Act''), requires the USTR to 
decide whether any foreign country has denied fair market opportunities 
to U.S. products, suppliers, or bidders in connection with airport 
construction projects of $500,000 or more that are funded in whole or 
in part by the government of such country. The list of such countries 
must be published in the Federal Register. The Office of the U.S. Trade 
Representative has not received any complaints or other information 
that indicates that U.S. products, suppliers, or bidders are being 
denied fair market opportunities in such airport construction projects. 
As a consequence, for purposes of the Act, the USTR has decided not to 
list any countries as denying fair market opportunities for U.S. 
products, suppliers, or bidders in foreign government-funded airport 
construction projects.
