of National Revenue, Customs, Excise and Taxation, respecting Machine 
Tufted Carpeting Originating in or Exported from the United States of 
America (Secretariat File No. CDA-95-1904-03). As of September 19, 
1995, no Complaints were filed pursuant to Rule 39 of the Rules of 
Procedure for Article 1904 Binational Panel Review, no Notices of 
Appearance were filed pursuant to Rule 40 and no panel has been

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

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 Review (``Rules''). These Rules were 
published in the Federal Register on February 23, 1994 (59 FR 8686).

    Dated: October 13, 1995.
Caratina L. Alston,
United States Deputy Secretary, NAFTA Secretariat.
