Vol. 139, No. 53 — December 31, 2005

COMMISSIONS

CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY

SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Grain corn — Decision

On December 15, 2005, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), made a preliminary determination of dumping and subsidizing pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), in respect of unprocessed grain corn, excluding seed corn (for reproductive purposes), sweet corn, and popping corn, originating in or exported from the United States of America.

On the same date, pursuant to paragraph 35(2)(a) of SIMA, the President terminated the investigation respecting the dumping and subsidizing of processed grain corn originating in or exported from the United States of America. For further clarity, processed grain corn results from dry milling operations that separate or remove constituent parts of the whole kernel grain corn, such as the bran layer or pericarp, germ, tip cap or endosperm.

The goods in question are properly classified under the following Harmonized System classification numbers: 1005.90.00.11, 1005.90.00.12, 1005.90.00.13, 1005.90.00.14, 1005.90.00.19, 1005.90.00.99, as well as 1104.23.00.00 with respect to sliced corn only.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) will conduct a full inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic producers of unprocessed grain corn and will make an order or finding not later than 120 days after its receipt of the notice of the preliminary determination of dumping and subsidizing.

Pursuant to section 8 of SIMA, provisional duty is payable on the dumped and subsidized unprocessed grain corn that is released from customs during the period commencing December 15, 2005, and ending on the earlier of the day the investigation is terminated, the day on which the Tribunal makes an order or finding, or the day an undertaking is accepted. The amount of provisional duty payable is not greater than the estimated margin of dumping and the estimated amount of subsidy. The Customs Act applies with respect to the accounting and payment of provisional duty. As such, failure to pay duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Customs Act.

Information

The statement of reasons regarding this decision will be issued within 15 days and will also be available on the CBSA's Web site at www.cbsa.gc.ca/sima/ or by contacting either Ron McTiernan by telephone at (613) 954-7271, by email at Ronald.McTiernan@ cbsa-asfc.gc.ca, or Gilbert Huneault by telephone at (613) 954-7376, by email at Gilbert.Huneault@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca or by fax at (613) 954-2510.

CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF INQUIRY

Grain corn

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on December 15, 2005, from the Director General of the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency, stating that a preliminary determination of dumping and subsidizing had been made respecting unprocessed grain corn, excluding seed corn (for reproductive purposes), sweet corn, and popping corn, originating in or exported from the United States of America.

Pursuant to section 42 of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated an inquiry (Inquiry No. NQ-2005-001) to determine whether the dumping and subsidizing of the above-mentioned goods have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury, and to determine such other matters as the Tribunal is required to determine under that section.

The Tribunal's Guide to Making Requests for Product Exclusions, which can be found on the Tribunal's Web site, describes the procedure for filing requests for specific product exclusions. The Guide includes a form for filing requests for product exclusions and a form for any party that opposes a request to respond to such requests. This does not preclude parties from making submissions in a different format if they so wish, provided that all of the information and supporting documentation requested in the forms are included. Requests to exclude goods from the finding shall be filed by interested parties no later than February 22, 2006. Parties opposed or consenting or not opposed to the request for exclusion shall file a written response no later than March 2, 2006. Should the request for a specific product exclusion be opposed, and if the interested party wishes to reply, it must do so no later than March 8, 2006. The Tribunal does not intend to deal with the requests for product exclusions at the hearing, except under exceptional circumstances.

Under section 46 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, a person who provides information to the Tribunal and who wishes some or all of the information to be kept confidential must submit to the Tribunal, at the time the information is provided, a statement designating the information as confidential, together with an explanation as to why that information is designated as confidential. Furthermore, the person must submit a non-confidential summary of the information designated as confidential or a statement indicating why such a summary cannot be made.

Public hearing

A public hearing relating to this inquiry will be held in the Tribunal Hearing Room, 18th Floor, Standard Life Centre, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario, commencing March 20, 2006, at 9:30 a.m.

Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry and at the hearing as a party must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before December 29, 2005. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry and at the hearing must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before December 29, 2005.

To allow the Tribunal to determine whether simultaneous interpretation will be required for the hearing, each interested party and each counsel filing a notice of participation or representation must advise the Secretary, at the same time that they file the notice, whether they and their witnesses will be using French or English or both languages at the hearing.

In the event of an injury finding, a request for a public interest inquiry conducted pursuant to subsection 45(1) of SIMA may be made by any party to the injury inquiry or by any other group or person affected by the injury finding. Such a request must be filed with the Tribunal within 45 days of the injury finding. A public interest inquiry is completely separate from an injury inquiry. However, the Tribunal invites all persons who anticipate that they will have public interest concerns in the event of an injury finding to simply notify the Tribunal by December 29, 2005. The Tribunal is not seeking and does not expect submissions on public interest issues during the injury inquiry.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

In order to observe and understand production processes, the Tribunal, accompanied by its staff, may conduct plant visits.

Along with the notice of commencement of inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producers, importers, foreign producers and certain purchasers with a known interest in the inquiry providing details on the procedures, as well as the schedule for the inquiry. The letter specifies, among other things, the date for filing replies to Tribunal questionnaires, the date on which the information on record will be made available by the Tribunal to interested parties and counsel that have filed notices of participation or representation, and the dates for the filing of submissions by interested parties. Copies of all the questionnaires issued can be downloaded from the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/question/index_e.asp.

Written submissions, correspondence and 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 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).

Written and oral communication with the Tribunal may be in English or in French.
