Status Report Regarding Implementation of the
DSB Recommendations and Rulings in the Dispute
United States – Anti-Dumping Act of 1916
(WT/DS136 and WT/DS162)
The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes .
On 26 September 2000, the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) adopted its recommendations
and rulings in United States - Anti-Dumping Act of 1916  (WT/DS136 and WT/DS162).  At the
following DSB meeting on 23 October 2000,  the United  States informed the DSB of its intention to
implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in connection with this matter.
As noted in our previous status reports, the United States submitted proposed legislation to
the US Congress on 23 July 2001, that repeals the 1916 Act and terminates all pending actions under
the Act.  On 20 December 2001, H.R.3557 was introduced in the US House of Representatives, which
would repeal the 1916 Act and provide that no judgments pursuant to actions under such Act will be
entered on or after 26 September 2000.  On 23 April 2002, a companion bill, S.2224, was introducedin the US Senate, which also provides for the retroactive repeal of the 1916 Act.
The new US Congress convenes early next year.  The US Administration will continue to
work with Congress when it resumes its work so  as to resolve this dispute with the European
Communities and Japan.
