6036 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 27 / Monday, February 10, 1997 / Notices

Force, the U.S. International Trade

Commission (ITC) began, on March 4,

1996, bilateral and global safeguard

investigations regarding the importation

of broom corn brooms. USITC Inv. Nos.

TA–201–65 and NAFTA 302–1, USITC

Pub. 2984 (August 1996). On July 2,

1996, the ITC made affirmative

determinations in both cases, finding

that broom corn brooms are being

imported into the United States in such

increased quantities as to be a

substantial cause of serious injury to the

domestic industry producing a like or

directly competitive product. In

reaching its determination, the ITC

defined the domestic industry as

consisting of facilities producing broom

corn brooms, but not facilities

producing plastic brooms. The ITC also

found, pursuant to section 311(a) of the

NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C.

3371(a)), that broom corn brooms

produced in Mexico account for a

substantial share of total imports and

contribute importantly to the serious

injury caused by imports.

On November 28, 1996, the President

implemented relief action under section

203 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

amended (19 U.S.C. 2253), and section

312(a) of the NAFTA Implementation

Act (19 U.S.C. 3372(a)). This action

included a temporary increase in duties

over the next three years. Additional

tariffs were imposed on brooms covered

under subheading 9603.1050 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTS). For HTS

subheading 9603.1060, tariffs are

maintained at pre-safeguard levels until

a specified quantity of imports is

exceeded through the use of a tariff-rate

quota (TRQ). Imports above TRQ levels

are subject to additional duties. TRQs

are allocated individually for each

substantial supplier, with a residual

allocation for all other suppliers.

Developing countries which are not

substantial suppliers are exempt from

the safeguard.

The Government of Mexico has asked

for the establishment of a panel under

Chapter Twenty of the NAFTA to

examine the consistency of the

safeguard action—specifically, the ITC

domestic industry determination—with

the obligation of the United States under

the NAFTA. Members of the panel are

currently being selected, and the panel

is expected to meet, as necessary, in

Washington, D.C. to examine the

dispute. The panel is expected to issue

its final report detailing its findings and

recommendations within 120 days after

the last panelist is selected.

Requirements for Submissions From the

Public

Interested persons are invited to

submit written information or advice

concerning the issues raised in the

dispute. Submissions must be in English

and provided in fifteen copies. A

submitter requesting that information

contained in the submission be treated

as confidential business information

must certify that such information is

business confidential and would not

customarily be released to the public by

the submitter. Confidential business

information must be clearly marked

‘‘BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL’’ in a

contrasting color ink at the top of each

page of each copy.

A submitter requesting that

information or advice contained in the

submission, other than business

confidential information, be treated as

submitted in confidence in accordance

with section 135(g)(2) of the Trade Act

of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C.

2155(g)(2))—

(1) Must so designate that information

or advice;

(2) Must clearly mark the material as

‘‘SUBMITTED IN CONFIDENCE’’ in a

contrasting color ink at the top of each

page of each copy; and

(3) Is encouraged to provide a nonconfidential summary or the

information of advice.

USTR will maintain a public file on

this dispute settlement proceeding,

accessible to the public, in the USTR

Reading Room: Room 101, Office of the

United States Trade Representative, 600

17th Street, N.W., Washington, DC

20508. The public file will include nonconfidential versions of submissions

made to the dispute settlement panel

and the final report of the dispute

settlement panel. Under NAFTA Article

2017.4, the final report of the panel will

be published 15 days after it is

transmitted to the Free Trade

Commission unless the Commission

decides otherwise. A non-confidential

version of the hearing transcript may be

made available 15 days after the final

report is published.

An appointment to review the public

file (Docket NAFTA/D–2, ‘‘MexicoBrooms’’) may be made by calling

Brenda Webb, (202) 395–6186. The

USTR Reading Room is open to the

public from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1
