30220 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 116 / Friday, June 14, 1996 / Notices

regarding whether the MNC provision,

section 773(d) of Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act of 1930 (the Act), is

applicable in an NME investigation.

Also, in the Taiwanese investigation

petitioners are alleging that one of the

Taiwanese respondents has established

an export platform in the PRC involving

the PRC company that is the subject of

the MNC allegation. In the Indonesian

investigation an allegation of an

affiliation between the sole Indonesian

respondent and its sole U.S. customer

will require the Department to analyze

the complex element of control, as set

forth in newly amended section 771(33)

of the Act on affiliated parties. In

addition, the Indonesian and Taiwanese

investigations, and possibly the PRC

investigation, present complex modelmatching issues involving significant

product differences which will require

substantial analysis of multiple

products within the class or kind of

merchandise under investigation. As a

result of the novel and complex issues

in these three investigations, the

Department needs an additional time to

fully analyze these issues. Accordingly,

pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the

Act, we are postponing the date of the

preliminary determinations as to

whether sales of melamine institutional

dinnerware products from Indonesia,

Taiwan and the PRC have been made at

less than fair value for additional 30

days (i.e., until Wednesday, August 14,

1996).

This notice is published pursuant to

section 733(2) of the Act.

Dated: June 6, 1996.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investigations,

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

These Rules were published in the

Federal Register on February 23, 1994

(59 FR 8686). The panel review in this

matter was conducted in accordance

with these Rules.

Background

filed a First Request for Panel Review

with the Mexican Section of the NAFTA

Secretariat pursuant to Article 1904 of

the North American Free Trade

Agreement. Panel review was requested

of the final antidumping determination

made by the Secretaria de Comercio y

Fomento Industrial, in the antidumping

investigation respecting Cold-Rolled

Steel Sheet Originating in or Exported

from Canada. This determination was
