CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

EXPIRY REVIEW OF FINDING

Concrete Panels

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that it will, pursuant to subsection 76.03(3) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), initiate an expiry review (Expiry Review No. RR-2001-004) of its finding made on June 27, 1997, in Inquiry No. NQ-96-004, concerning concrete panels, reinforced with fiberglass mesh, originating in or exported from the United States of America and produced by or on behalf of Custom Building Products, its successors and assigns, for use or consumption in the province of British Columbia or Alberta.

Notice of Expiry No. LE-2001-004, issued on August 24, 2001, informed interested persons and governments of the impending expiry of the finding. On the basis of available information, including representations requesting or opposing the initiation of an expiry review and responses to these representations received by the Tribunal in reply to the notice, the Tribunal is of the opinion that a review of the finding is warranted. The Tribunal has notified the Commissioner of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (the Commissioner), as well as other interested persons and governments, of its decision.

The Tribunal has issued a Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews that can be found on the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca. In this expiry review, the Commissioner must determine whether the expiry of the finding in respect of concrete panels is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping of the goods.

If the Commissioner determines that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the Commissioner will provide the Tribunal with the information that is required under the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules. The Tribunal will then conduct an inquiry to determine if the continued or resumed dumping is likely to result in material injury or retardation to the domestic industry.

If the Commissioner determines that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is unlikely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will not consider those goods in its subsequent determination of the likelihood of material injury or retardation and will issue an order rescinding the finding with respect to those goods.

The Commissioner must provide notice of his determination, with reasons, within 120 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal's decision to initiate an expiry review, that is, no later than February 12, 2002. The Commissioner will also notify all persons or governments that were notified by the Tribunal of the commencement of an expiry review, as well as any others that participated in the Commissioner's investigation.

Letters have been sent to parties with a known interest in the expiry review providing them with the schedule respecting both the Commissioner's investigation and the Tribunal's inquiry, should the Commissioner determine that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping.

Commissioner's Investigation

The Commissioner will conduct his investigation pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and the administrative guidelines set forth in the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate's publication entitled Guidelines on the Conduct of Expiry Review Investigations under the Special Import Measures Act. Any information submitted to the Commissioner by interested persons concerning this investigation is deemed to be public information unless clearly designated as confidential. Where the submission is confidential, a non-confidential edited version or summary of the submission must also be provided which will be disclosed to interested parties upon request.

With respect to the Commissioner's investigation, the schedule specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies to the expiry review questionnaires, the date on which the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) exhibits will be available to parties to the proceeding, the date on which the administrative record will be closed and the dates for the filing of submissions by parties in the proceeding. The Tribunal, on behalf of the Commissioner, has sent expiry review questionnaires to foreign producers and exporters, importers and domestic producers. Other persons having an interest in the Commissioner's investigation may also provide submissions to the Commissioner. These must be received by December 14, 2001, in order to be given consideration by the Commissioner.

Tribunal's Inquiry

Should the Commissioner determine that the expiry of the finding in respect of any goods is likely to result in a continuation or resumption of dumping, the Tribunal will conduct its inquiry, pursuant to the provisions of SIMA and its Draft Guideline on Expiry Reviews, to determine if there is a likelihood of material injury or retardation. The schedule for the Tribunal's inquiry specifies, among other things, the date for the filing of replies by the domestic producers to Part E of the expiry review questionnaire, the date for the filing of replies to the Tribunal's market characteristics questionnaires, the date on which information on the record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation, and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties.

Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why the information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential edited version or non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such an edited version or summary cannot be made.

Public Hearing

If the Tribunal holds a public hearing relating to this expiry review, it will take place at the Metropolitan Hotel, 645 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, commencing on May 6, 2002, at 9:30 a.m., to hear evidence and representations by interested parties.

Each interested person or government wishing to participate at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before March 4, 2002. Each counsel who intends to represent a party at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before March 4, 2002.

To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested person or government filing a notice of participation and each counsel filing a notice of representation must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file the notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using English or French or both languages at the hearing.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

In order to observe and understand production processes, the Tribunal, accompanied by its staff, may conduct plant visits.

PUBLIC NOTICE 2001-107

Amendments to Definition of "Associate" in Various Broadcasting Regulations

In Public Notice CRTC 2001-73, the Commission called for comments on proposed amendments to five sets of the Commission's broadcasting regulations to amend the definition of the term "associate" in the provisions dealing with the transfer of ownership and control of a licensee or its undertaking. The proposed amendments were consistent with the values of tolerance, respect and equality found in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to ensure that its regulations have the same regulatory effect on all couples who have been cohabiting in a conjugal relationship for at least one year. Further to Public Notice 2001-73, the Commission has adopted amendments to these regulations, as set out in the appendix to this notice. The amendments came into effect on October 1, 2001.
