SUMMARY: On August 22, 1995, the Binational Panel review of the final

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 was conducted in accordance with these 
rules.

Completion

    On July 10, 1995, the Binational Panel affirmed the Investigating 
Authority's determination respecting Certain Corrosion Resistant Steel 
Sheet Products, Originating in or Exported from the United States of 
America. The Secretariat was instructed to issue a Notice of Completion 
of Panel Review on the 31st day following the issuance of the Notice of 
Final Panel Action, if no Request for an Extraordinary Challenge was

78(b) of the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules, this Notice of Completion 
of Panel Review is effective on August 22, 1995, the 31st day following 
the date on which the Responsible Secretary issued the Notice of Final
