mechanism to replace domestic judicial review of final determinations 
in antidumping and countervailing duty cases involving imports from a 
NAFTA country with review by independent binational panels. When a

place of national courts to review expeditiously the final

Federal Register on February 23, 1994 (59 FR 8686) and subsequently 
amended on April 10, 2008 (73 FR 19458).
    The Rules provide that:
    (a) A Party or interested person may challenge the final 
determination in whole or in part by filing a Complaint in accordance 
with Rule 39 within 30 days after the filing of the first Request for 
Panel Review (the deadline for filing a Complaint is July 6, 2016);
    (b) A Party, investigating authority or interested person that does 
not file a Complaint but that intends to appear in support of any 
reviewable portion of the final determination may participate in the 
panel review by filing a Notice of Appearance in accordance with Rule 
40 within 45 days after the filing of the first Request for Panel 
Review (the deadline for filing a Notice of Appearance is July 21, 
2016); and
    (c) The panel review shall be limited to the allegations of error
