ATOMIC ENERGY CONTROL BOARD

ATOMIC ENERGY CONTROL ACT

Authorization No. CDN/5221/X (Rev. 0)

Special Arrangement — Radioactive Material — Package and Shipment

Pursuant to section 4 of the Transport Packaging of Radioactive Materials Regulations, the Atomic Energy Control Board issued the authorization numbered CDN/5221/X (Rev. 0) on September 28, 1998, to MDS Nordion International authorizing the transportation of radioactive material in a packaging that does not conform to the requirements of these Regulations. The reasons for issuing this authorization were:

1. conformity with some of the requirements of these Regulations would be impractical; and

2. the terms and conditions of the authorization ensure a level of health and safety during transport at least equivalent to that which would exist if the packaging conformed to the applicable requirements of these Regulations.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby gives notice that any parties wishing to be heard in these appeals must file a notice of appearance with the Secretary on or before Monday, November 9, 1998.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

EXPIRY OF FINDING

Black Granite Memorials and Black Granite Slabs

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that its finding made on July 20, 1994, in Inquiry No. NQ-93-006, concerning black granite memorials of all sizes and shapes and black granite slabs in thicknesses equal to or greater than three inches, originating in or exported from India, is scheduled to expire (Expiry No. LE-98-005) on July 19, 1999. Under the Special Import Measures Act, findings of injury or threat of injury and the associated special protection in the form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties expire five years from the date of the last order or finding unless a review has been initiated. A review will not be initiated unless the Tribunal decides that there is sufficient information to indicate that it is warranted.

Persons or governments requesting or opposing the initiation of a review of the said finding, pursuant to subsection 76(2) of the Special Import Measures Act, should file 10 copies of written public submissions, containing relevant information, opinions and arguments, with the Secretary of the Tribunal not later than November 23, 1998. Persons or governments should endeavour to base their submissions exclusively on public information; however, confidential information relevant to the issues before the Tribunal may be filed if necessary, along with a comprehensive public summary or edited version thereof.

Submissions should address all relevant factors, including:

— the likelihood of the continuation or the resumption of dumped and subsidized imports if the finding were allowed to expire, with supporting information, including information relating to exporters in India with regard to their activities in the Canadian market, their domestic market and other markets;

— the likely volumes and price ranges of dumped and subsidized imports if they were to continue or to resume;

— the domestic industry's performance since the finding, including trends in its production, sales, market share and profits;

— the likelihood of material injury to the domestic industry if the finding were allowed to expire, having regard to the anticipated effects of a resumption of dumped and subsidized imports on the industry's future performance;

— other developments affecting, or likely to affect, the performance of the domestic industry; and

— any other change in market conditions, domestically or internationally, including changes in the supply and demand for black granite memorials and black granite slabs, as well as changes in trends and sources of imports into Canada.

Where there are opposing views, each person or government who filed a submission in response to the notice of expiry will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the representations of other persons or governments. In these circumstances, the Tribunal will distribute copies of the public submissions to each person or government who filed a submission with the Tribunal. Those persons or governments will have one week to respond in writing to the submissions. If confidential submissions have been filed, the Secretary will notify persons or governments on how they may access these submissions through qualified counsel.

The purpose of a review is to determine whether an order or finding should be continued, with or without amendment, or rescinded. If the Tribunal decides that a review is not warranted, an order, with reasons, will be issued. An order or finding will expire unless a review is initiated before its expiry date.

If the Tribunal decides to initiate a review, it will issue a notice of review with all relevant information regarding the proceeding. The Tribunal will publish the notice in the Canada Gazette and send it to all persons or governments known to the Tribunal as having an interest in the review, who will then have an opportunity to participate in the review.

Written submissions, correspondence or requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to: The Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, (613) 993-3595 (Telephone), (613) 990-2439 (Facsimile).

Written or oral communications to the Tribunal may be made in English or in French.
