DECISION
Softwood lumber from Canada
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to rule 70 of the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules, that the panel established to review the final determination made by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) respecting “SOFTWOOD LUMBER FROM CANADA”, issued its decision on May 22, 2020 (Secretariat File No.: USA-CDA-2018-1904-03).
In the May 22nd decision, the binational panel affirmed in part the agency’s determination respecting “Softwood Lumber from Canada: Final Injury Determination.”
The public version of the decision is available on the NAFTA Secretariat website under “Decisions and Reports.”
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Chapter 19 of the North American Free Trade Agreement establishes a procedure for replacing domestic judicial review of determinations in antidumping and countervailing duty cases involving imports from a NAFTA country with review by binational panels.
These panels are established, when a Request for Panel Review is received by the NAFTA Secretariat, to act in place of national courts to review final determinations expeditiously to determine whether they are in accordance with the antidumping or countervailing duty law of the country that made the determination.
Under Article 1904 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which came into force on January 1, 1994, the Government of Canada, the Government of the United States and the Government of Mexico established the Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 Binational Panel Reviews. These Rules were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on January 1, 1994, and as amended, on March 29, 2008.
Requests for information concerning the present notice, or concerning the NAFTA Article 1904 Panel Rules, should be addressed to the Canadian Secretary, NAFTA Secretariat, Canadian Section (TCT), North American Free Trade Agreement, 111 Sussex Drive, 5th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2, 343‑203‑4269.

SPECIES AT RISK ACT
Description of critical habitat of the Eastern Foxsnake (Carolinian population) in Point Pelee National Park of Canada and Eastern Foxsnake (Great Lakes/St. Lawrence population) in Georgian Bay Islands National Park of Canada
The Eastern Foxsnake (Pantherophis gloydi), Carolinian and Great Lakes/St. Lawrence populations, is a snake listed on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. Eastern Foxsnakes require a mosaic of habitat types, including open foraging habitat, thermoregulating sites, suitable hibernation sites, egg-laying sites and natural corridors linking them. Eastern Foxsnakes are usually associated with shorelines, islands or wetlands near the Great Lakes. The Eastern Foxsnake occurs in two restricted regions of Ontario, the Carolinian Forest region (Carolinian population) and the eastern side of Georgian Bay (Great Lakes/St. Lawrence population).
The Recovery Strategy for the Eastern Foxsnake (Pantherophis gloydi), Carolinian and Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Populations, in Canada identifies critical habitat in Point Pelee National Park of Canada for the Carolinian population and in Georgian Bay Islands National Park of Canada for the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence population.
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to subsection 58(2) of the Species at Risk Act, that 90 days after the date of publication of this notice, subsection 58(1) of the Act will apply to the critical habitat of the Eastern Foxsnake, Carolinian and Great Lakes/St. Lawrence populations, identified in the recovery strategy for that species that is included in the Species at Risk Public Registry, and that is located within Point Pelee National Park of Canada and Georgian Bay Islands National Park of Canada, the boundaries of which are described in Schedule 1 to the Canada National Parks Act.
