SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 19 of the North American Free-Trade 
Agreement (``Agreement'') establishes a mechanism to replace domestic 
judicial review of the 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: The Panel ordered the Department as follows:
    That this case be remanded to the Department for the Department to 
make a determination consistent with the decision of this Panel to the 
effect that the evidence on the record does not support a finding of 
likelihood of recurrence or continuation of dumping upon revocation of 
the antidumping duty order, and to make that determination within ten 
(10) days from the date of this Fifth Panel Decision, or not later than 
June 11, 2007.

    Dated: June 4, 2007.
Caratina L. Alston,
United States Secretary, NAFTA Secretariat.
