SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 19 of the North American Free Trade 
Agreement (``Agreement'') establishes a mechanism to replace domestic 
judicial review of 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: On January 16, 2009 Complainants Ivaco Rolling 
Mills 2004 L.P. and Sivaco Ontario, a division of Sivaco Wire Group 
2004 L.P. (``Ivaco''), filed a Request for Panel Review of the Final 
Results of the 2006-2007 administrative review of the antidumping order 
issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade 
Administration (ITA), with respect to Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel 
Wire Rod from Canada.
    In its Complaint, filed on February 1, 2009, Ivaco alleged that the 
ITA had committed two errors: (1) The ITA's decision that Ivaco had 
made sales to the United States and the home market at a single level 
of trade was unsupported by substantial evidence and otherwise not in 
accordance with law and (2) the ITA's decision to calculate Ivaco's 
overall weighted average dumping margin by setting negative individual 
dumping margins to zero is unsupported by substantial evidence and 
otherwise not in accordance with law.
    For the reasons set forth in the panel's written decision, and on 
the basis of the administrative record, the applicable law, the written 
submissions of the ITA and Ivaco, and the panel hearing held in 
Washington, DC on September 6, 2012, the panel upheld in its decision 
the Final Results of the administrative review. Copies of the panel's 
decision are available from the U.S. Section of the NAFTA Secretariat.

    Dated: May 2, 2014.
