USTR Termination of Section 1377 Determination

AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.

ACTION: Termination of Affirmative Determination under Section 1377 of 
the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 of a Violation of a 
Trade Agreement by Japan.

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

SUMMARY: On February 28, 1994, the Office of the U.S. Trade 
Representative (USTR) published a Federal Register notice (59 FR 9503) 
announcing an affirmative determination under Section 1377 of the 
Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (19 U.S.C. 3106) that 
certain practices of Japan with respect to cellular telephone products 
and services were not in compliance with Japan's commitments under a 
June 28, 1989 agreement on third party radio and cellular 
telecommunications equipment. Following negotiations with Japan, the 
Governments of Japan and the United States reached an agreement on 
March 12, 1994 that resolves U.S. concerns. On April 11, 1994, the 
Government of Japan forwarded to USTR the deployment plan called for 
under the March 12 agreement. As a result, on April 11, 1994, the U.S. 
Trade Representative terminated the affirmative determination under 
Section 1377.
