SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. The EU-Beef Matter

    The EU bans the import of beef and beef products produced from 
animals to which any of six hormones have been administered for growth-
promotion purposes. The six hormones at issue are estradiol 17-b, 
testosterone, progesterone, zeranol, trenbolone acetate (TBA) and 
melengestrol acetate (MGA). The effect of the EU ban is to prohibit the 
import of all but specially-produced U.S. beef and beef products. In 
February 1998, the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in the EU-Beef 
case found that the ban was inconsistent with the obligations of the 
European Communities (now the EU) under the WTO Agreement. In July 
1999, a WTO arbitrator determined that the EU import ban on U.S. beef 
and beef products had nullified or impaired U.S. benefits under the WTO 
Agreement in the amount of $116.8 million each year. On July 26, 1999, 
the DSB authorized the United States to suspend the application to the 
EU, and member States thereof, of WTO tariff concessions and related

[[Page 95725]]

obligations covering trade in an amount of $116.8 million per year. 
Pursuant to that authorization, USTR announced a list of EU products 
that would be subject to a 100 percent rate of duty effective with 
respect to products entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after July 29, 1999. See 64 FR 40638.
    On November 6, 2008, the inter-agency Section 301 committee 
requested public comments on a list of alternative products under 
consideration for the imposition of increased duties. On January 23, 
2009, USTR announced a determination to modify the list of products 
subject to additional duties by removing some products from the list 
and adding replacement products, consistent with the WTO's 
authorization. See 74 FR 4265. USTR subsequently delayed the additional 
duties on the replacement products to facilitate negotiations with the 
EU. On May 13, 2009, the United States and the European Commission 
announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the EU-
Beef case. See 74 FR 40864.

B. The MOU

    The MOU provided for the EU to make phased increases in market 
access by adopting a tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for beef produced without 
growth-promoting hormones (termed HQB products), in return for the 
United States making phased reductions in additional duties the United 
States had imposed consistent with WTO authorization. See 74 FR 40864. 
Both in accordance with the MOU and as a result of a decision of the 
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, USTR terminated 
all additional duties on EU products, effective May 2011. See 76 FR 
30987.
    Under the second phase of the MOU, starting in August 2012, the EU 
increased the TRQ to 45,000 metric tons (MT). Although the EU has 
maintained this 45,000 MT TRQ for HQB products, it has not in practice 
provided benefits to the U.S. beef industry sufficient to compensate 
for the economic harm resulting from the EU ban on all but specially-
produced U.S. beef. In particular, non-U.S. exporters of HQB products 
have been able to fill a substantial part of the 45,000 MT TRQ.

C. Sections 306 and 307 of the 1974 Trade Act, as Amended

    In February 2016, Congress passed and the President signed the 
Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015. Among other 
things, the Act amended relevant provisions of the 1974 Trade Act to 
confirm that the Trade Representative may reinstate a previously 
terminated Section 301 action in order to exercise a WTO authorization 
to suspend trade concessions. In particular, the new Section 306(c) of 
the 1974 Trade Act permits the Trade Representative to reinstate a 
Section 301 action following (1) a request from the petitioner or any 
representative of the domestic industry that would benefit from 
reinstatement of action, (2) consultations under Section 306(d) of the 
Trade Act, and (3) a review under section 307(c) of the Trade Act.
    Section 306(d) of the 1974 Trade Act requires the Trade 
Representative to consult with the petitioner, if any, involved in the 
initial investigation and with representatives of the domestic industry 
concerned, and provide an opportunity for the presentation of views by 
interested parties. Section 307(c) requires the Trade Representative to 
conduct a review of the effectiveness of such an action, and of other 
actions that could be taken (including actions against other products), 
in achieving the objectives of Section 301 of this title (19 U.S.C. 
2411); and the effects of such actions on the United States economy, 
including consumers.
    On December 9, 2016, representatives of the U.S. beef industry 
invoked the new Section 306(c) of the 1974 Trade Act by filing a 
written request for reinstatement of action.

D. Request for Public Comments and To Testify at the Hearing

    In order to assist in a possible reinstatement of the action in 
accordance with Section 306(c) of the 1974 Trade Act, and to provide 
information in connection with a review under Section 307(c) of the 
Act, the Section 301 Committee seeks public comments with respect to 
the specific EU products on the lists in the annexes to this notice. 
Annex I contains the full list of EU products covered by the ongoing 
WTO authorization for the United States to suspend tariff concessions 
and related obligations with respect to the EU. In addition, for 
convenience, Annex II contains the list of EU products initially 
subject to increased duties starting in 1999, and in effect in whole or 
in part until 2011. Annex II is a subset of the full product list in 
Annex I. In considering a possible reinstatement of the action, the 
Trade Representative will consider including any product listed in 
Annex I, regardless of whether that product was covered by the 1999 
action.
    The Section 301 Committee invites comments with respect to whether 
particular products should be included on a new list that would be 
subject to increased duties, as well as the rate of duty that would be 
best suited to the objective of encouraging a satisfactory resolution 
of the dispute. The comments should address: (i) Whether imposing 
increased duties on a particular product would be practicable or 
effective in terms of encouraging a favorable resolution of the 
dispute, and (ii) whether imposing increased duties on a particular 
product would cause disproportionate economic harm to U.S. interests, 
including small- or medium-size businesses and consumers.
    In addition, the Section 301 Committee requests comments on whether 
actions on particular products should be taken with respect to products 
of all members of the EU, or whether action should be taken with 
respect to products of one or more particular EU members. The EU 
currently has 28 member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, 
Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, 
Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, 
the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, 
Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
    To be assured of consideration, you must submit written comments by 
11:59 p.m. on January 30, 2017 in accordance with the instructions in 
section E below.
    The Section 301 Committee will convene a public hearing in Rooms 1 
and 2, 1724 F Street NW., Washington, DC 20508, beginning at 9:30 a.m. 
on February 15, 2017. Persons wishing to appear at the hearing must 
provide written notification of their intention and a summary of the 
proposed testimony by 11:59 p.m. on January 30, 2017 in accordance with 
the instructions in section E below. Remarks at the hearing may be no 
more than five minutes to allow for possible questions from the Section 
301 Committee. The deadline for submission of post-hearing rebuttal 
comments is 11:59 p.m. February 22, 2017.
    Indicate in the ``Type Comment'' field if you are submitting a 
request to appear at the hearing, and include the name, address and

Increased Duties

    The products listed below are under consideration for the 
imposition of increased duties in accordance with the WTO DSB 
authorization in the EU-Beef dispute. In particular, increased 
tariffs may be applied to articles that are: (i) classified in the 
numerical headings and subheadings of the HTS listed below; and,

instances where a 4-digit HTS heading appears in the left column of 
this list, products classified in any of the 8-digit subheadings in 
the HTS under those 4-digit headings may be subject to increased 
duties. In all cases, the tariff nomenclatures in the HTS for the 
headings and subheadings listed below are definitive; the product 
descriptions in this list are for information purposes only. The 
descriptions below are not intended to delimit in any way the scope 
of the products that would be subject to increased duties. An
