CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

EXPIRY OF ORDER

Women's Leather and Non-leather Boots and Women's Leather and Non-leather Shoes

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that its order made on May 2, 1995, in Review No. RR-94-003, continuing, with amendment, its findings made on May 3, 1990, in Inquiry No. NQ-89-003, concerning women's leather and non-leather boots originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China and women's leather and non-leather shoes originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, is scheduled to expire on May 1, 2000 (Expiry No. LE-99-003). Under the Special Import Measures Act, findings of injury or threat of injury and the associated special protection in the form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties expire five years from the date of the last order or finding unless a review has been initiated. A review will not be initiated unless the Tribunal decides that there is sufficient information to indicate that it is warranted.

Persons or governments requesting or opposing the initiation of a review of the said order, pursuant to subsection 76(2) of the Special Import Measures Act, should file ten copies of written public submissions containing relevant information, opinions and arguments, with the Secretary of the Tribunal not later than August 3, 1999. Persons or governments should endeavour to base their submissions exclusively on public information; however, confidential information relevant to the issues before the Tribunal may be filed if necessary, along with a comprehensive public summary or edited version thereof.

Submissions should address all relevant factors, including:

— the likelihood of the continuation or the resumption of dumped imports if the order were allowed to expire, with supporting information, including information relating to exporters in the People's Republic of China with regard to their activities in the Canadian market, their domestic market and other markets;

— the likely volumes and price ranges of dumped imports if they were to continue or to resume;

— the domestic industry's performance since the order, including trends in its production, sales, market share and profits;

— the likelihood of material injury to the domestic industry if the order were allowed to expire, having regard to the anticipated effects of a resumption of dumped imports on the industry's future performance;

— other developments affecting, or likely to affect, the performance of the domestic industry; and

— any other change in market conditions, domestically or internationally, including changes in the supply and demand for women's leather and non-leather boots and women's leather and non-leather shoes, as well as changes in trends and sources of imports into Canada.

Where there are opposing views, each person or government who filed a submission in response to the notice of expiry will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the representations of other persons or governments. In these circumstances, the Tribunal will distribute copies of the public submissions to each person or government who filed a submission with the Tribunal. Those persons or governments will have one week to respond in writing to the submissions. If confidential submissions have been filed, the Secretary will notify persons or governments on how they may access these submissions through qualified counsel.

The purpose of a review is to determine whether an order or finding should be continued, with or without amendment, or rescinded. If the Tribunal decides that a review is not warranted, an order, with reasons, will be issued. An order or finding will expire unless a review is initiated before its expiry date.

If the Tribunal decides to initiate a review, it will issue a notice of review with all relevant information regarding the proceeding. The Tribunal will publish the notice in the Canada Gazette and send it to all persons or governments known to the Tribunal as having an interest in the review, who will then have an opportunity to participate in the review.

Written submissions, correspondence or requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to: The Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, (613) 993-3595 (Telephone), (613) 990-2439 (Facsimile).

Written or oral communications to the Tribunal may be made in English or in French.

FINDING

Flat Hot-rolled Carbon and Alloy Steel Sheet Products

In the matter of an inquiry, under section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act respecting flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet products originating in or exported from France, Romania, the Russian Federation and the Slovak Republic

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, under the provisions of section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act, has conducted an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-98-004) following the issuance by the Deputy Minister of National Revenue of a preliminary determination dated March 3, 1999, and a final determination dated June 1, 1999, respecting the dumping in Canada of flat hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip, including secondary or non-prime material, originating in or exported from France, Romania, the Russian Federation and the Slovak Republic, in various widths from 3/4 in. (19 mm) and wider, and (a) for product in coil form, in thicknesses from 0.054 in. to 0.625 in. (1.37 mm to 15.88 mm) inclusive, (b) for product that is cut-to-length, in thicknesses from 0.054 in. up to but not including 0.187 in. (1.37 mm up to but not including 4.75 mm), excluding stainless steel sheet and strip.

Pursuant to subsection 43(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby finds that the dumping in Canada of the aforementioned goods, originating in or exported from France, Romania, the Russian Federation and the Slovak Republic, has caused material injury to the domestic industry, excluding flat hot-rolled, cut-to-length alloy steel products containing no less than 11.5 percent manganese, in thicknesses from 3 mm to 4.75 mm.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal also finds that the requirements of paragraph 42(1)(b) of the Special Import Measures Act with respect to massive dumping have not been met.

The statement of reasons will be issued within 15 days.

PUBLIC NOTICE 1999-103

Call for Applications for a Broadcasting Licence to Carry on a Radio Programming Undertaking to Serve Belleville, Ontario

The Commission announces that it has received an application for a broadcasting licence to provide an FM radio service to serve Belleville, Ontario.

The Commission hereby calls for applications from other parties wishing to obtain such a licence.

Persons interested in submitting such an application are required to file a letter of intent no later than August 3, 1999, followed by a formal application to the Commission no later than August 31, 1999, and are also required to submit all necessary technical documentation to the Department of Industry by the latter date.

It should be noted that, in making this call, the Commission has not reached any conclusion with respect to the licensing of such a service, nor should it necessarily be construed that the Commission will, by virtue of having called for applications, authorize such a service at this time.

Applicants will be required to provide evidence giving clear indication that there is a demand and a market for the station and the proposed service. Without restricting the scope of the issues to be considered, the following should be addressed:

1. The contribution that the proposed service will make to achieving the objectives established in the Broadcasting Act and, in particular, to the production of local and regional programming.

2. The expected audience of the proposed service.

3. The means by which the applicant will promote the development of Canadian talent, including local and regional talent.

4. An analysis of the markets involved and potential advertising revenues, taking into account the results of any survey undertaken supporting the estimates.

5. Evidence as to the availability of financial resources consistent with the requirements established in the financial projections of the applicant's business plan. For the convenience of applicants, the Commission has available upon request a document entitled "Documentation Required by the Commission to Support the Availability of an Applicant's Proposed Financing".

The Commission also reminds applicants that they must comply with the eligibility requirements set out in P.C. 1997-486, dated April 8, 1997, Direction to the CRTC (Ineligibility of Non-Canadians) and amended by P.C. 1998-1268, dated July 15, 1998, and in P.C. 1997-629 dated April 22, 1997, Order Amending the Direction to the CRTC (Ineligibility to hold broadcasting licences).

The Commission will announce at a later date the public process where applications will be considered and where they may be examined by the public.

There are a number of Commission policies affecting radio that are scheduled to come under review in the upcoming months. These matters, outlined in Public Notice CRTC 1997-105 dated August 1, 1997, entitled An Agenda for Reviewing the Commission's Policies for Radio, and the Commission's April 1998 Vision Action Calendar, include a review of the Commission's policies for campus and community radio, as well as of its policy for ethnic broadcasting. Changes to policies that might follow these reviews could be of significance to parties interested in providing a radio service. Parties who find themselves constrained in their ability to finalize their plans to submit an application by possible changes in the Commission's policies may express their concerns to the Commission in writing. The Commission will then take any such views received into account in scheduling upcoming public hearings. The Commission notes that it issued its Commercial Radio Policy 1998, Public Notice CRTC 1998-41, on April 30, 1998.

Notice of each application will also be published in newspapers of general circulation within the area to be served.

The public will be given the opportunity to comment on any application by submitting written interventions to the Secretary General, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Ottawa K1A 0N2, and by serving a true copy of the interventions on the applicants at least 25 days before the date of the hearing.
