Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13.

Bureau: International Trade

Administration.

Title: Business Information Service for

the Newly Independent States (BISNIS)

FinanceLink.

Agency Form Number: N/A.

OMB Number: N/A (number to be

assigned).

Type of Request: Regular Submission.

Burden: 33 hours.

Number of Respondents: 200.

Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.

Needs and Uses: The International

Trade Administration’s Business

Information Service for the Newly

Independent States offers business

intelligence and counseling to U.S.

companies seeking to export or invest in

the countries of the former Soviet

Union. One of the essential components

of BISNIS’s services is assisting

companies in locating suitable financing

for exports. Often, official sources, such

as the Export-Import Bank of the United

States, cannot handle all requests for a

variety of reasons. BISNIS’s

FinanceLink is an internet-based service

that will facilitate contact between

exporters and financing agencies. U.S.

exporters fill out a form giving relevant

details about the desired transaction and

submit it via Internet to BISNIS; BISNIS

will, in turn, distribute the information

collected to U.S.-based financing

agencies who have expressed an interest

in receiving such information. The

intention is to provide a service that

benefits both exporters and financing

agencies.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

OMB Desk Officer: Dennis Marvich,

(202) 395–5871.

collection proposal can be obtained by

calling or writing Linda Engelmeier,

Commerce, Room 5327, 14th and

information collection should be sent to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter

19 of the North American Free-Trade

Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) establishes 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). The panel review in this

matter will be conducted in accordance

with these Rules.

A first Request for Panel Review was

filed with the U.S. Section of the

NAFTA Secretariat, pursuant to Article

1904 of the Agreement, on April 10,

1998, requesting panel review of the

final antidumping duty administrative

review 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 May 11, 1998);

(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 May

26, 1998); and

(c) The panel review shall be limited

to the allegations of error of fact or law,

including the jurisdiction of the

investigating authority, that are set out

in the Complaints filed in the panel

review and the procedural and

substantive defenses raised in the panel

review.
