REQUEST FOR PANEL REVIEW

Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Canada

Notice is hereby given, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (as amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act), that on September 19, 2002, a first Request for Panel Review of the Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination made by the United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, respecting carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada, was filed by counsel for Ispat Sidbec Inc. with the United States Section of the NAFTA Secretariat, pursuant to Article 1904 of the North American Free Trade Agreement. An additional Request for Panel Review was filed by counsel for the Gouvernement du Québec.

The final determination was published in the Federal Register, on August 30, 2002 [67 Fed. Reg. 55813].

The panel review will be conducted in accordance with the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules. Subrule 35(1)(c) of the above-mentioned Rules provides that:

(i) a Party or interested person may challenge the final determination in whole or in part by filing a Complaint in accordance with rule 39 within 30 days after the filing of the first Request for Panel Review (the deadline for filing a Complaint is October 21, 2002);
(ii) a Party, an investigating authority or other interested person who does not file a Complaint but who intends to participate in the panel review shall file a Notice of Appearance in accordance with rule 40 within 45 days after the filing of the first Request for Panel Review (the deadline for filing a Notice of Appearance is November 4, 2002);
(iii) the panel review shall be limited to the allegations of error of fact or law, including challenges to the jurisdiction of the investigating authority, that are set out in the Complaints filed in the panel review and to the procedural and substantive defenses raised in the panel review.

Notices of Appearance and Complaints pertaining to the present panel review, USA-CDA-2002-1904-08, should be filed with the United States Secretary at the NAFTA Secretariat, U.S. Section, Commerce Building , Suite 2061, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20230, United States.

Explanatory Note

Chapter 19 of the North American Free Trade Agreement establishes a procedure for replacing domestic judicial review of determinations in anti-dumping and countervailing duty panel reviews involving imports from a NAFTA country with review by binational panels.

These panels are established, when a Request for Panel Review is received by the NAFTA Secretariat, to act in place of national courts to expeditiously review final determinations to determine whether they are in accordance with the anti-dumping or countervailing duty law of the country that made the determination.

Under Article 1904 of the North American Free Trade Agreement which came into force on January 1, 1994, the Government of Canada, the Government of the United States and the Government of Mexico established the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules. These Rules were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on January 1, 1994.

Requests for information concerning the present notice, or concerning the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules, should be addressed to the Canadian Secretary, NAFTA Secretariat, Canadian Section, 90 Sparks Street, Suite 705, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5B4, (613) 992-9388.
