North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Article 1904; 
Binational Panel Reviews: Notice of Termination of Panel Review

AGENCY: NAFTA Secretariat, United States Section, International Trade 
Administration, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: On December 6, 2011, a Motion to Terminate Panel Review of the 
U.S. International Trade Commission's final determination of Seamless 
Refined Copper Pipe and Tube from Mexico was filed by the Government of 
Mexico (Secretariat File No. USA-MEX-2010-1904-02).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Motion to Terminate Panel Review by a 
participant and consented to by all the participants, the panel review 
is terminated as of December 6, 2011. A panel has not been appointed to 
this panel review. Pursuant to Rule 71(2) of the Rules of Procedure for 
Article 1904 Binational Panel Review, this panel review is terminated.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Bohon, United States Secretary, 
NAFTA Secretariat, Suite 2061, 14th and Constitution Avenue, 
Washington, DC 20230, (202) 482-5438.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 19 of the North American Free Trade 
Agreement (``Agreement'') established 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 requested and terminated pursuant 
to these Rules.

    Dated: December 8, 2011.
Ellen Bohon,
United States Secretary, NAFTA Secretariat.
