{"abstract":"The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is issuing this interim final rule to amend its regulations pertaining to the procedures and rules related to Article 1904 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with appropriate references to the United States- Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which went into effect on July 1, 2020. Article 10.12 of the USMCA, like NAFTA Article 1904, provides a dispute settlement mechanism for purposes of reviewing antidumping and countervailing duty determinations issued by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Commerce is amending its regulations to replace references to Article 1904 of NAFTA with references to Article 10.12 of the USMCA; to update outdated cross-references to Commerce's antidumping and countervailing duty regulations; update outdated notice, filing, service, and protective order procedures; and adopt other minor corrections and updates.","action":"Interim final rule; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"International Trade Administration","name":"International Trade Administration","id":261,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/international-trade-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/261","parent_id":54,"slug":"international-trade-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2021/12/09/2021-26551.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"356","title":19}],"citation":"86 FR 70045","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective date: This interim final rule is effective on December 9, 2021.
