SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 19 of the United States-Canada Free-
Trade Agreement (``Agreement'') establishes a mechanism to replace
domestic judicial review of final determinations in antidumping and
countervailing duty cases involving imports from the other 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, 1989, the Government of the United States and the Government
of Canada established Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 Binational
Panel Reviews (``Rules''). These Rules were published in the Federal
Register on December 30, 1988 (53 FR 53212). The Rules were amended by
Amendments to the Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 Binational Panel
Reviews, published in the Federal Register on December 27, 1989 (54 FR
53165). The Rules were further amended and a consolidated version of
the amended Rules was published in the Federal Register on June 15,
1992 (57 FR 26698). The panel review in this matter was conducted in
accordance with these Rules, as amended.
Background
Rule 73(2) of the Article 1904 Panel Rules provides, in pertinent
part, that, ``where all participants file Notices of Motion requesting
termination, the panel review is terminated.'' A Consent Motion
requesting termination was received from all participants on January 5,
1994. Pursuant to Rule 80(c) of the Article 1904 Panel Rules, the panel
review in this matter will be completed on the 31st day following the
day on which the panel review was terminated (February 7, 1994).
Dated: February 3, 1994.
James R. Holbein,
United States Secretary, FTA Binational Secretariat.
