SPECIAL IMPORT MEASURES ACT

Certain carbon steel welded pipe — Decision

On July 21, 2008, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) made a final determination of dumping and a final determination of subsidizing, pursuant to paragraph 41(1)(a) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), in respect of carbon steel welded pipe, commonly identified as standard pipe, in the nominal size range of 1/2 in. up to and including 6 in. (12.7 mm to 168.3 mm in outside diameter) inclusive, in various forms and finishes, usually supplied to meet ASTM A53, ASTM A135, ASTM A252, ASTM A589, ASTM A795, ASTM F1083 or Commercial Quality, or AWWA C200-97 or equivalent specifications, including water well casing, piling pipe, sprinkler pipe and fencing pipe, but excluding oil and gas line pipe made to API specifications exclusively, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.

The goods in question are commonly classified under the following Harmonized System classification numbers:

7306.30.10.14
7306.30.10.24
7306.30.10.34
7306.30.90.14
7306.30.90.19
7306.30.90.24
7306.30.90.29
7306.30.90.34
7306.30.90.39

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal) is continuing its inquiry into the question of injury to the domestic industry and will make an order or finding by August 20, 2008. Provisional duties will continue to apply until this date.

If the Tribunal finds that the dumping and/or subsidizing have caused injury or are threatening to cause injury, future imports of subject goods will be subject to anti-dumping duty equal to the margin of dumping and/or countervailing duty equal to the amount of subsidy on the goods. In that event, the importer in Canada shall pay all such duties. The Customs Act applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of anti-dumping and countervailing duty.

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 Richard Pragnell at 613-954-0032, or Dan St-Arnaud at 613-954-7373 or by fax at 613-948-4844.

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AGENCY

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT

Replacement Class Screening Report: Fixed Aids to Navigation — Maritimes Region — Public Notice

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) declares the report entitled Fixed Aids to Navigation — Maritimes Region to be a replacement class screening report (RCSR) pursuant to the provisions of subsection 19(1) and paragraph 19(2)(a) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act).

Public consultations on the RCSR took place from May 28 to June 27, 2008. The Agency received no written submissions from the public concerning the RCSR. In making the declaration proposed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada—Canadian Coast Guard (DFO-CCG) and Transport Canada (TC), the Agency has reviewed the RCSR and has determined that the project screening process, as described in the document, will meet the requirements of the Act for the environmental assessment of the class of projects. It is also the Agency’s opinion that the class of projects described in the RCSR is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects when the design standards and mitigation measures described in the report are applied.

The declaration is effective August 2, 2008, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

• Subject to subsection 19(8) of the Act, the declaration period is valid until August 2, 2018.
• DFO-CCG and/or TC will notify the Agency, in writing, a minimum of six months prior to the date on which the declaration expires, of its intention to re-declare the RCSR, to re-declare the RCSR with modifications or additions, or not to re-declare the RCSR and, thereby, allow the declaration to expire.
• To re-declare the RCSR, DFO-CCG and/or TC will submit the proposed RCSR to the Agency no less than three months prior to the expiration date of this declaration, so that the Agency may initiate a new declaration process.
• DFO-CCG, TC and the Agency will ensure that the RCSR is made available to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Act. As such, DFO-CCG will place the RCSR in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry (the Registry) project file. On a quarterly basis, DFO-CCG will also post on the Registry Web site a statement of the projects in respect of which the RCSR was used, as required under paragraph 55.1(2)(d) of the Act. The quarterly schedule for posting on the Registry Web site is contained in section 1.4 of the RCSR.
• Any amendments to the report will be developed and implemented in accordance with the provisions for amendment contained in section 6.0 of the RCSR.

For further information, contact the Class Screening Advisor, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, 160 Elgin Street, 22nd Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3, 613-948-1940 (telephone), 613-957-0897 (fax), ClassScreening@ceaa-acee.gc.ca (email).
