The Commerce Department is updating its regulations on dispute settlement for antidumping and countervailing duty cases under USMCA, it said in an interim final rule. The USMCA Article 10.12 provisions are “substantively identical” to those found in NAFTA Article 1904, so the changes are minor, including updating old references to NAFTA to now say USMCA, and updates to outdated cross-references to other regulations and to outdated notice, filing, service and protective order procedures. The interim final rule takes effect Dec. 9, though it does not apply to any binational panel under NAFTA, “or any extraordinary challenge arising out of any such review, that was commenced before July 1, 2020,” Commerce said. Comments are due Jan. 10, 2022.
