Rescission of Social Security Ruling 

97–2p 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of rescission of Social 

Security Ruling. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with 20 CFR 

402.35(b)(1), the Commissioner of Social 

Security gives notice of the rescission of 

Social Security Ruling (SSR) 97–2p. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rescission 

will be effective November 21, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Social Security Administration, 6401

information on eligibility or filing for 

benefits, call our national toll-free

www.socialsecurity.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SSRs 

make available to the public 

precedential decisions relating to the 

Federal old-age, survivors, disability, 

supplemental security income, and 

special veterans benefits programs. SSRs 

may be based on determinations or 

decisions made at all levels of 

administrative adjudication, Federal 

court decisions, Commissioner’s 

decisions, opinions of the Office of the 

General Counsel, or other 

interpretations of the law and 

regulations. 

In SSR 97–2p, we informed the public 

that we would use our existing 

regulatory authority to conduct 

prehearing case reviews in a wider 

range of circumstances than we had 

done previously. Specifically, we 

explained the situations in which an 

administrative law judge might return a 

claim to the disability determination 

services for a prehearing case review 

that could result in a fully or partially 

favorable revised determination for a 

claimant. 

SSR 97–2p also explained the 

procedures a claimant must follow if he 

or she wished either to continue to the 

ALJ hearing after receiving a fully 

favorable revised prehearing 

determination or to dismiss the request 

for a hearing after receiving a revised 

prehearing determination that was 

partially favorable. 

We are publishing regulatory changes 

in today’s Federal Register that make 

some of the information in SSR 97–2p 

no longer accurate. The final rules, 

Amendments to Procedures for Certain 

Determinations and Decisions, revise 

the procedures a claimant must follow 

if he or she wants to have a hearing after 

receiving a fully favorable revised 

prehearing determination or does not 

want to have a hearing after receiving a 

partially favorable revised prehearing 

determination. 

We considered whether we should 

revise SSR 97–2p to reflect these 

changes. However, much of the 

information in SSR 97–2p is already 

contained in our regulations or in other 

SSRs, and we believe that we no longer 

need the limited additional information 

in SSR 97–2p. Accordingly, we are 

rescinding SSR 97–2p as obsolete.

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

North American Free Trade 

Agreement; Invitation for Applications 

for Inclusion on the Chapter 19 Roster 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Invitation for applications. 

SUMMARY: Chapter 19 of the North 

American Free Trade Agreement 

(‘‘NAFTA’’) provides for the 

establishment of a roster of individuals 

to serve on binational panels convened 

to review final determinations in 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

(‘‘AD/CVD’’) proceedings and 

amendments to AD/CVD statutes of a 

NAFTA Party. The United States 

annually renews its selections for the 

Chapter 19 roster. Applications are 

invited from eligible individuals 

wishing to be included on the roster for 

the period April 1, 2012, through March 

31, 2013. 

DATES: Applications should be received 

no later than November 30, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Applications should be 

submitted (i) electronically to http://

www.regulations.gov, docket number 

USTR–2011–0017, or (ii) by fax, to 

Sandy McKinzy at (202) 395–3640. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Suzanne Garner, Assistant General 

Counsel, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative, (202) 395–9663. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Binational Panel Reviews Under 

NAFTA Chapter 19 

Article 1904 of the NAFTA provides 

that a party involved in an AD/CVD 

proceeding may obtain review by a 

binational panel of a final AD/CVD 

determination of one NAFTA Party with 

respect to the products of another 

NAFTA Party. Binational panels decide 

whether such AD/CVD determinations 

are in accordance with the domestic 

laws of the importing NAFTA Party, and 

must use the standard of review that 

would have been applied by a domestic 

court of the importing NAFTA Party. A 

panel may uphold the AD/CVD 

determination, or may remand it to the 

national administering authority for 

action not inconsistent with the panel’s 

decision. Panel decisions may be 

reviewed in specific circumstances by a 

three-member extraordinary challenge 

committee, selected from a separate 

roster composed of fifteen current or 

former judges. 

Article 1903 of the NAFTA provides 

that a NAFTA Party may refer an 

amendment to the AD/CVD statutes of 

another NAFTA Party to a binational 

panel for a declaratory opinion as to 

whether the amendment is inconsistent 

with the General Agreement on Tariffs 

and Trade (‘‘GATT’’), the GATT 

Antidumping or Subsidies Codes, 

successor agreements, or the object and 

purpose of the NAFTA with regard to 

the establishment of fair and predictable 

conditions for the liberalization of trade. 

If the panel finds that the amendment is 

inconsistent, the two NAFTA Parties 

shall consult and seek to achieve a 

mutually satisfactory solution. 

Chapter 19 Roster and Composition of 

Binational Panels 

Annex 1901.2 of the NAFTA provides 

for the maintenance of a roster of at least 

75 individuals for service on Chapter 19 

binational panels, with each NAFTA 

Party selecting at least 25 individuals. A 

separate five-person panel is formed for 

each review of a final AD/CVD 

determination or statutory amendment. 

To form a panel, the two NAFTA Parties 

involved each appoint two panelists, 

normally by drawing upon individuals 

from the roster. If the Parties cannot 

agree upon the fifth panelist, one of the 

Parties, decided by lot, selects the fifth 

panelist from the roster. The majority of 

individuals on each panel must consist 

of lawyers in good standing, and the 

chair of the panel must be a lawyer. 

Upon each request for establishment 

of a panel, roster members from the two 

involved NAFTA Parties will be 

requested to complete a disclosure form, 

which will be used to identify possible 

conflicts of interest or appearances 

thereof. The disclosure form requests 

information regarding financial interests 

and affiliations, including information 

regarding the identity of clients of the 

roster member and, if applicable, clients 

of the roster member’s firm. 

Criteria for Eligibility for Inclusion on 

Chapter 19 Roster 

Section 402 of the NAFTA 

Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103–182, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 3432)) (‘‘Section 

402’’) provides that selections by the 

United States of individuals for 

inclusion on the Chapter 19 roster are to 

be based on the eligibility criteria set 

out in Annex 1901.2 of the NAFTA, and 

without regard to political affiliation. 

Annex 1901.2 provides that Chapter 19
