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 has been conducted in accordance with these Rules. Panel Decision: The Panel concluded and ordered the Department as follows: The Department is directed to determine whether the decrease in the magnitude of TAMSA’s foreign currency denominated debt in the sunset review period outweighs the ‘‘likelihood’’ presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA’s post-order exports. If the Department determines that the lower level of TAMSA’s foreign currency denominated debt does not outweigh the ‘‘likelihood’’ presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA’s post-order exports, the Department is directed to explain the reasons leading to its determination. If the Department determines that the lower level of TAMSA’s foreign currency denominated debt in fact outweighs the ‘‘likelihood’’ presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA’s post-order exports, the Department is directed to enter a finding of no likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 19 of the North American Free-Trade 
Agreement (``Agreement'') establishes a mechanism to replace domestic 
judicial review of the 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 has been conducted in accordance with 
these Rules.
    Panel Decision: The Panel concluded and ordered the Department as 
follows:
    The Department is directed to determine whether the decrease in the 
magnitude of TAMSA's foreign currency denominated debt in the sunset 
review period outweighs the ``likelihood'' presumption that results 
from the decrease in TAMSA's post-order exports.
    If the Department determines that the lower level of TAMSA's 
foreign currency denominated debt does not outweigh the ``likelihood'' 
presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA's post-order 
exports, the Department is directed to explain the reasons leading to 
its determination.
    If the Department determines that the lower level of TAMSA's 
foreign currency denominated debt in fact outweighs the ``likelihood'' 
presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA's post-order 
exports, the Department is directed to enter a finding of no likelihood 
of continuation or recurrence of dumping.
    The Department is further directed to issue its Final 
Redetermination on Remand within twenty days from the date of this 
Panel Decision.
    The Department was directed to report the results of its remand 
decision within 20 days of the date of the opinion, or not later than 
February 28, 2006.
