The Gift That Keeps on Giving
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) today published a massive 561 page notice in today's Federal Register advising domestic interested parties that have previously supported antidumping and countervailing petitions of the procedures required for them to claim their fiscal year 2006 share of monies collected under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA), commonly known as the "Byrd Amendment". While the Byrd Amendment was repealed last year by Congress, the effect of the repeal will be delayed for several years because the law repealing the provision specified that duties collected on an entry filed before October 1, 2007 will be distributed to the domestic industry.
Eligible interested parties must submit their written certifications to obtain their Byrd Amendment funds to CBP by July 31, 2006. Any certification received after July 31, 2006 will be denied.
The companies that supply paper to the Federal Register should each personally thank Senator Robert Byrd for his contribution to the U.S. paper industry.
