NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF INTERIM REVIEW
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 order made on October 18, 2002, in Expiry Review No. RR-2001-005, continuing, without amendment, its order made on October 20, 1997, in Review No. RR-97-001, continuing, with amendment, its order made on October 21, 1992, in Review No. RR-92-001, continuing, without amendment, the finding made by the Canadian Import Tribunal on October 22, 1987, in Review No. R-7-87, continuing, without amendment, the finding made by the Anti-dumping Tribunal on May 25, 1979, in Inquiry No. ADT-4-79, and the finding made by the Anti-dumping Tribunal on April 23, 1982, in Inquiry No. ADT-2-82, concerning certain waterproof rubber footwear originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China.
On February 8, 2005, the Tribunal received a request from Tracktion Canada Inc. (Tracktion) for an interim review of the order to exclude steel studded over-the-shoe rubbers.
The Tribunal decided that the request was properly documented and invited comments from interested parties on Tracktion's request. One submission was received from the Shoe Manufacturers' Association of Canada (SMAC) stating that it opposed the request.
In light of Tracktion's request and SMAC's reply, the Tribunal decided that an interim review was warranted. The purpose of this interim review is to determine if the order should be amended to exclude the product for which an exclusion has been requested. Submissions already filed by parties have been placed on the record of the interim review. Any further submissions by interested parties respecting the product for which an exclusion has been requested should be filed no later than July 15, 2005.
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 Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules, the Tribunal has decided to proceed with a hearing by way of written submissions.
The Tribunal has notified the President of the Canada Border Services Agency, as well as other interested persons, of the commencement of an interim review. The Tribunal will make its decision on whether to amend the order in Expiry Review No. RR-2001-005 no later than August 18, 2005.
