Riepilogo

Pursuant to section 127(b)(1) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (19 U.S.C. 3537(b)(1), the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is providing notice that the government of Korea has requested the establishment of a dispute settlement panel under the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO) to examine the continuing imposition by the United States of antidumping duties on dynamic access memory semiconductors (DRAMS) of one megabyte or above from Korea. Specifically, on July 16, 1997, in its final determination in the administrative review of an antidumping order on DRAMS from Korea, the Department of Commerce determined not to revoke the order. 62 FR 39809 (July 24, 1997). Commerce declined to revoke the order because it found that one of the regulatory criteria for revocation had not been satisfied; namely, based on the evidence before it, Commerce was not satisfied that future dumping of DRAMS by the Korean producers in question was ``not likely.''
