CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

COMMENCEMENT OF INTERIM REVIEW

Stainless Steel Round Bar Products

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 (Interim Review No. RD-2003-001) of its order made on September 3, 2003, in Expiry Review Nos. RR-2002-003 and RR-2002-004, continuing, with amendment, the finding made by the Tribunal on September 4, 1998, in Inquiry No. NQ-98-001 and the finding made by the Tribunal on June 18, 1999, in Inquiry No. NQ-98-003 concerning certain stainless steel round bar of sizes 25 mm in diameter up to 570 mm in diameter inclusive, originating in or exported from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Chinese Taipei, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea (the Order).

On November 19, 2003, the Tribunal received a request from Edro Speciality Steels Inc. (Edro) for an interim review of the Order to exclude RoyAlloy, which was described by Edro as a unique stainless steel specialty product that is not currently available in Canada. In its submission, Edro stated that it has recently come to its attention that certain customers are interested in using RoyAlloy stainless steel round bar, due to that product's improved properties and characteristics over previous industry standard grades. On December 1, 2003, the Tribunal requested that Edro provide additional details and a more generic description of the product for which it is requesting an exclusion.

After having received the additional information, the Tribunal decided that the request was properly documented and invited comments from interested parties on Edro's request. One submission was received from Atlas Specialty Steels Inc. (Atlas), in which Atlas stated that it did not oppose the request, provided that a slight modification was made to the product definition. Edro concurred with the revised description of the product as submitted by Atlas, which is as follows:

RoyAlloy (trade name), or equivalent, having a chemical composition within the following limits (percentage by weight): C 0.040 min. 0.050 max. / Mn 1.20 min. 1.35 max. / P 0.025 max. / S 0.11 min. 0.17 max. / Si 0.35 min. 0.55 max. / Cr 12.25 min. 12.65 max. / Ni 0.30 max. / Cu 0.50 min. 0.70 max. / V 0.02 min. 0.06 max. / N 0.040 min. 0.060 max.; and the following unspecified residual elements not to exceed the following limits (percentage by weight): Mo 0.25 max. / Cb 0.05 max. / Ti 0.05 max. / Co 0.20 max. / Al 0.05 max. / Sn 0.03 max. / 0 Lap max. / W 0.15 max.; for use in building mould bases for plastic injection mould tooling produced in the range of 0.5 to 14 in. in diameter (12.5 to 360 mm) in lengths of up to 192 in. (4 875 mm); electric furnace melted, ladle refined, followed by AOD, VOD, NOD or similar processing prior to ingot pouring or slab casting; calcium treatment for sulfide shape and reduced oxygen levels must be used for this material; melter shall strive to meet the requested aim levels listed above; combined %C + %N level of 0.095 is ideal for this material; produced to a Brinell hardness level of 293 - 340 BHN (equivalent of 31 - 37 HRC): minimum ultimate tensile strength of 125 ksi (862 MPa) and minimum yield strength of 105 ksi (724 MPa) @ .2 percent offset; room temperature density of 0.283 pounds per cubic in. (7.83 gr per cubic cm); modulus of elasticity of 29.0 x 106 psi (200 x 103 MPa); measured thermal conductivity of 117.62 Btu.in/hr ft2°F @300°F; exhibits excellent corrosion resistance when exposed to water or steam, similar to AISI 410 and 416 stainless steels.

In light of Edro's request and Atlas' 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 or its description should be filed no later than January 12, 2004. 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 (formerly 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 the Order in Expiry Review Nos. RR-2002-003 and RR-2002-004 no later than January 26, 2004.

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), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (Electronic mail).

COMMENCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY INJURY INQUIRY

Steel Fuel Tanks

Notice was received by the Secretary of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) on December 19, 2003, from the Director General of the Anti-dumping and Countervailing Directorate at the Canada Border Services Agency (formerly Canada Customs and Revenue Agency) stating that the President of the Canada Border Services Agency had initiated an investigation into a complaint respecting the alleged injurious dumping of new steel fuel tanks, gasoline or diesel, for passenger cars and light trucks, for the replacement market, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China and Chinese Taipei.

Pursuant to subsection 34(2) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the Tribunal has initiated a preliminary injury inquiry (Inquiry No. PI-2003-005) to determine whether the evidence discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping of the subject goods has caused material injury or retardation or is threatening to cause material injury, as these words are defined in SIMA.

The Tribunal's inquiry will be conducted by way of written submissions. Each person or government wishing to participate in the inquiry must file a notice of participation with the Secretary on or before January 5, 2004. Each counsel who intends to represent a party in the inquiry must file a notice of representation, as well as a declaration and undertaking, with the Secretary on or before January 5, 2004.

On January 12, 2004, the Tribunal will distribute the public information received from the President to all parties that have filed notices of participation, and the confidential information to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking with the Tribunal.

Submissions by parties opposed to the complaint must be filed on or before January 21, 2004. These submissions should include evidence, e.g. documents and sources that support the factual statements in the submissions, and argument concerning the questions of

— whether there are goods produced in Canada, other than those identified in the President's statement of reasons for initiating the investigation, that are like goods to the allegedly dumped goods;

— whether there is more than one class of allegedly dumped goods;

— which domestic producers of like goods comprise the domestic industry; and

— whether the information before the Tribunal discloses a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping of the goods has caused material injury or retardation, or threatens to cause material injury.

The complainant may make submissions in response to the submissions of parties opposed to the complaint by January 29, 2004. At that time, other parties supporting the complaint may also make submissions to the Tribunal.

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. (See Procedural Guidelines for the Designation and Use of Confidential Information in Canadian International Trade Tribunal Proceedings available on the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca.)

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal Rules govern these proceedings.

All submissions must be filed with the Tribunal in 25 copies. The Tribunal will distribute the public submissions to all parties that have filed notices of participation and any confidential submissions to counsel who have filed a declaration and undertaking.

Along with the notice of commencement of preliminary injury inquiry, the Secretary has sent a letter to the domestic producers, to importers and to exporters with a known interest in the inquiry that provides details on the procedures and the schedule for the inquiry. The notice and the schedule of events consisting of key dates are available from the Tribunal's Web site at www.citt-tcce.gc.ca.

Across Canada

The Commission announces that it has received an application for a broadcasting licence to carry on a satellite audio distribution undertaking for direct reception by subscribers. The Commission hereby calls for applications from other parties wishing to seek authority to carry on such an undertaking, or some other form of multi-channel subscription radio programming undertaking.

Persons interested in submitting such an application are required to file a letter of intent no later than January 16, 2004, followed by a formal application to the Commission to be filed by no later than February 16, 2004, and to submit all necessary technical documentation to the Department of Industry by the same date.

It should be noted that, in making this call, the Commission has not reached any conclusion with respect to the viability of such a service, nor should it 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 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, in particular, with respect to the production and presentation of programming that makes maximum use of Canadian creative and other resources.

2. The proposed expenditures and the means by which the applicant will promote the development of Canadian talent.

3. The manner in which the applicant intends to add to the diversity of the Canadian broadcasting system through its programming, and to reflect Canada's cultural diversity and linguistic duality.

4. An analysis of the markets involved and potential audiences as well as advertising revenues, if applicable, taking into account the results of any survey undertaken supporting the estimates, as well as the impact on advertising revenues of existing radio stations.

5. Clear evidence of the financial viability of the investors involved to undertake the project and to fulfil their 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 should take into consideration the eligibility requirements set out in the Consolidated Regulations of Canada, 1978, Chapter 376 (Eligible Canadian Corporations) and in P.C. 1985-2108 dated June 27, 1985 (Ineligibility to hold broadcasting licences).

The Commission will announce at a later date the time and place of the public hearing where applications received pursuant to this public notice will be considered and the places where such applications may be examined by the public.

A resume 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 undersigned and by serving a true copy of the interventions on the applicants at least 20 days before the date of the hearing.
