and Secretaria de Economia of the
Government of Mexico entered into an
Agreement on Trade in Cement
(Agreement). As part of the Agreement,
the Department and all parties involved
in the outstanding litigation have agreed
to settle many of these disputes.
Pursuant to this settlement of litigation,
each complaining party has agreed to
request termination of each outstanding
challenge before a NAFTA panel listed

NAFTA Secretariat has terminated the
reviews in accordance with the parties’
consent. Having a final and conclusive
resolution of these contested
administrative reviews, the Department
is amending the final results of the
contested reviews and will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate entries covered by the
contested reviews. The Agreement
stipulates that any entries of cement
produced by CEMEX or GCCC will be
assessed antidumping duties equal to
$.10 per metric ton. The Agreement also
stipulates, pursuant to the settlement of
litigation covering the fourteenth
administrative review, that the
Department will instruct CBP to revise
the cash–deposit rate effective April 3,
2006, for entries of Mexican cement
produced or exported by CEMEX or
