Government-Funded Airport Construction Projects

AGENCY: Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: 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 pursuant to section 533 of the Airport and Airway 
Improvement Act of 1982, as amended (49 U.S.C. 50104).

DATES: This notice is effective on April 3, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Pietan, International 
Procurement Negotiator, (202) 395-9646, or Arthur Tsao, Assistant 
General Counsel, (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), 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 USTR must publish the list of countries 
in the Federal Register. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative 
has not received any complaints or other information indicating that a 
foreign country has denied U.S. products, suppliers, or bidders fair 
market opportunities in airport construction projects. Therefore, 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.

Stephen Vaughn,
Acting United States Trade Representative, Office of the U.S. Trade 
Representative.
