USTR Asks for Applicants to NAFTA AD/CVD Review Panels

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is asking for applications to fill the roster of binational panels in the North American Free Trade Agreement designed to review final determinations in antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings and legal changes, the agency said in a notice (here). Approved applicants will sit on those panels from April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017. The deadline for applications is Nov. 20. NAFTA provides for a roster of at least 75 individuals, at least 25 from each NAFTA party, for consideration on those panels, which NAFTA parties form to review an AD/CVD determination or statutory amendment. Panelists are generally private sector individuals with trade law expertise. Applications should be submitted electronically via www.regulations.gov, docket number USTR-2015-0017.
