Vol. 137, No. 8 — February 22, 2003
SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT
Xanthates — Decision
On February 3, 2003, the Commissioner of Customs and Revenue made a final determination of dumping, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act respecting xanthates of all grades in dry or liquid forms, excluding cellulose xanthates, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China.
The goods in question are usually classified under the following Harmonized System classification numbers:
2930.10.10.10 2930.10.10.20 2930.10.10.90 2930.10.90.00
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury and will make its order or finding by March 4, 2003. Provisional duty will continue to apply until this date.
If the Tribunal finds that the dumping has caused injury or is threatening to cause injury, future imports of subject goods will be subject to an anti-dumping duty equal to the margin of dumping. In that event, the importer in Canada shall pay all such duty. The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping duty.

COMMENCEMENT OF INTERIM REVIEW
Refrigerators, Dishwashers and Dryers
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that, pursuant to subsection 76.01(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, it has initiated an interim review of its findings (Interim Review No. RD-2002-005) made on August 1, 2000, in Inquiry No. NQ-2000-001, concerning certain top-mount electric refrigerators, electric household dishwashers and gas or electric laundry dryers originating in or exported from the United States of America and produced by, or on behalf of, White Consolidated Industries, Inc. and Whirlpool Corporation, their respective affiliates, successors and assigns.
On December 5, 2002, the Tribunal received a request from Whirlpool Corporation and Whirlpool Canada Inc. (Whirlpool) to rescind the application of the findings, effective January 1, 2003, with respect to "top-mount electric refrigerators, in sizes greater than 14.5 cubic feet and less than 18.5 cubic feet, originating in or exported from the United States of America and produced by, or on behalf of, White Consolidated Industries, Inc. and Whirlpool Corporation, their respective affiliates, successors and assigns". Whirlpool submitted that Camco Inc. (Camco), the sole domestic producer of the subject refrigerators at the time of the findings, has ceased production of such refrigerators.
The Tribunal decided that the request was properly documented and, accordingly, pursuant to subrule 70(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules (the Rules), on January 13, 2003, provided the parties to the 2000 inquiry with a copy of Whirlpool's request. On January 27, 2003, Electrolux Home Products North America and Electrolux Home Products (Electrolux) filed a submission supporting the request, but contended that the Tribunal should consider an earlier rescission date. Camco filed a reply dated January 28, 2003, confirming that it had stopped producing the refrigerators covered by the findings.
In light of the applicant's request, the domestic producer's submission and the replies of the applicant and Electrolux, the Tribunal decided that an interim review was warranted. The purpose of this interim review is to determine if the application of the findings with respect to the subject refrigerators should be rescinded. If, because of this review, the Tribunal decides to rescind the application of the findings with respect to the subject refrigerators, the effective date of rescission would be January 1, 2003. In the normal course of events, the findings would expire on August 5, 2005.
Submissions already filed by parties have been placed on the record of the interim review. Any further submissions by interested parties should be filed no later than March 5, 2003. Submissions should be based 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 public edited version of the confidential information. Confidential submissions will be made available to counsel who have filed the relevant declarations and undertakings. In accordance with paragraph 25(c) of the Rules, the Tribunal has decided to proceed with its review by way of written submissions.
The Tribunal has notified the Commissioner of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, as well as other interested persons, of the commencement of an interim review. The Tribunal will make its decision on whether to amend its findings in Inquiry No. NQ-2000-001 no later than March 19, 2003.
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.

DETERMINATION

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2002-037) on February 10, 2003, with respect to a complaint filed by Huron Consulting (the complainant), of Barrie, Ontario, under subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, as amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, S.C. 1993, c. 44, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. W0113-02A064/A) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of National Defence.
