SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 

19 of the North American Free Trade 

Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) established a 

mechanism to replace domestic judicial 

review of final determinations in 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

cases involving imports from a NAFTA 

country with review by independent 

binational panels. When a Request for 

Panel Review is filed, a panel is 

established to act in place of national 

courts to review expeditiously the final 

determination to determine whether it 

conforms with the antidumping or 

countervailing duty law of the country 

that made the determination. 

Under Article 1904 of the Agreement, 

which came into force on January 1, 

1994, the Government of the United 

States, the Government of Canada, and 

the Government of Mexico established 

Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 

Binational Panel Reviews (‘‘Rules’’). 

These Rules were published in the 

Federal Register on February 23, 1994 

(59 FR 8686). 

A first Request for Panel Review was 

filed with the United States Section of 

the NAFTA Secretariat, pursuant to 

Article 1904 of the Agreement, on 

December 22, 2010, requesting a panel 

review of the determination and order 

described above. 

The Rules provide that: 

(a) 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 January 21, 2011); 

(b) a Party, investigating authority or 

interested person that does not file a 

Complaint but that intends to appear in 

support of any reviewable portion of the 

final determination may participate in 

the panel review by filing 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 

February 7, 2011); and 

(c) the panel review shall be limited
