Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 30, 2021 / Notices
to challenge the Final Determination,
pursuant to NAFTA Article
1904(15)(c)(ii), the deadline for the
submission of a Notice of Intent to
Commence Judicial Review was
February 19, 2020 (within 20 days of
publication of the Final Determination
in the Federal Register), and pursuant
to NAFTA Article 1904(4), the deadline
for the submission of a Request for
Panel Review was March 2, 2020
(within 30 days of publication of the
Final Determination in the Federal
Register).
On February 19, 2020, the Full
Member Subgroup of the American
Institute of Steel Construction, LLC
(‘‘AISC’’) and Building Systems de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (‘‘BSM’’) filed
Notices of Intent to Commence Judicial
Review at the United States Court of
International Trade.
On February 28, 2020, Corey S.A. de
C. V. (‘‘Corey’’) solely filed a Request for
Panel Review.
On November 3, 2020, in Building
Systems de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. v.
United States, 476 F.Supp.3d 1401,
1409 (CIT, 2020), the Court of
International Trade held that ‘‘Corey
does not have standing, as required in
order for it to properly request review of
Commerce’s final determination before a
NAFTA binational panel. . . . NAFTA
art. 1904(5) requires a private party to
have standing, as determined by the
laws of the importing country, in order
to request a binational panel.’’
The Court of International Trade
further held that ‘‘it has jurisdiction
over this proceeding because the
requirements to request a binational
panel, and divest this court of
jurisdiction, have not been met.’’ Id. at
1405. See also, Full Member Subgroup
of American Institute of Steel
Construction, LLC v. United States, 477
F.Supp.3d 1349 (CIT, 2020).
Accordingly, there are no further
proceedings for binational panel review
in Certain Fabricated Structural Steel
from Mexico AD (USA–MEX–2020–
1904–01).
