cases involving imports from a NAFTA country with review by independent 
binational panels. When a Request for Panel Review is filed, a panel is 
established to act in place of national courts to review expeditiously 
the final determination to determine whether it conforms with the 
antidumping or countervailing duty law of the country that made the 
determination.
    Under Article 1904 of the Agreement, which came into force on 
January 1, 1994, the Government of the United States, the Government of 
Canada and the Government of Mexico established Rules of Procedure for 
Article 1904 Binational Panel Reviews (``Rules''). These Rules were 
published in the Federal Register on February 23, 1994 (59 FR 8686). 
The panel review in this matter has been conducted in accordance with 
these Rules.
    Panel Decision: The panel affirmed the International Trade 
Commission's determination on remand respecting Light-Walled 
Rectangular Pipe and Tube from Mexico: Final Determination of Material 
Injury to a U.S. Industry.
