NOTIFICATION PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 3(C) OF THE

GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TARIFFS AND TRADE 1994
Communication from the United States

The following communication, dated 30 December 2010, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of the United States.

_______________

Pursuant to paragraph 3(c) of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("GATT 1994"), and referring to the notification dated 20 December 1994 by the United States of measures covered by the exemption provided in paragraph 3(a) of the GATT 1994, the United States hereby provides the attached summary statistical table on actual and expected deliveries of relevant vessels.

The information provided in the tables distinguishes between fishing vessels and non-fishing vessels. The latter category includes merchant vessels, tugs and supply vessels. Information on expected deliveries of fishing vessels is not available.
The United States is providing additional information on the use, sale, lease or repair of relevant vessels. As in past years, please find enclosed a detailed listing of vessels (100 gross tons and above) delivered and expected to be delivered (ordered) during the period 2005 through 2009. This information includes the vessel name, gross tonnage and owner of record. Also enclosed is further detailed information for vessels (100 gross tons and above) delivered and expected to be delivered (ordered) in 2009, including vessel type, builder, owner, current manager, and operator. Finally, the United States is providing information relating to US employment in the shipbuilding and repair industries during the period 2004 through 2009.
These tables reflect the best information currently available; as underlying data may be periodically revised or corrected, the information contained in this submission is subject to change.
