SUMMARY:
1 In comments made on the interim final sunset
regulations, a number of parties stated that the
proposed five-day period for rebuttals to
substantive responses to a notice of initiation was
insufficient. This requirement was retained in the
final sunset regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As
provided in 19 CFR 351.302(b), however, the
Department will consider individual requests to
extend that five-day deadline based upon a showing
of good cause.

mechanism to replace domestic judicial
review of final determinations in
antidumping and countervailing duty
cases involving imports from a NAFTA

(59 FR 8686).
A first Request for Panel Review was
filed with the United States Section of
the NAFTA Secretariat, pursuant to
Article 1904 of the Agreement, on
October 24, 2012, requesting a panel
review of the determination and order
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 November 23, 2012);
(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
December 10, 2012); 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 panel review
and the procedural and substantive
defenses raised in the panel review.
