2. The United States Trade Representative (USTR),in
accordance with Section 533 of the Airport and Airway
Improvement Act of 1982, as amended, is required to list
on an annual basis any foreign countries that have
denied fair market opportunities to U.S. products,
suppliers, or bidders in connection with airport
construction projects of 500,000 USD or more that are
funded in whole or in part by the governments of such

the nature and extent of discrimination faced by U.S.

firms have been denied fair market opportunities in
competing for these projects.

questions or requests for further background.
