The eighth
meeting of the AC21 has been scheduled
for February 7–8, 2004. The AC21
consists of 18 members representing the
biotechnology industry, the seed
industry, international plant genetics
research, farmers, food manufacturers,
commodity processors and shippers,
environmental and consumer groups,
and academic researchers. In addition,
representatives from the Departments of
Commerce, Health and Human Services,
and State, and the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Council on
Environmental Quality, and the Office
of the United States Trade
Representative serve as ‘‘ex officio’’
members.
The AC21 will discuss, with the
intent of finalizing, a draft report on the
issue of the proliferation of traceability
and mandatory labeling regimes for
biotechnology-derived products in other
countries, the implications of those
regimes, and what industry is doing to
attempt to address those requirements
for products shipped to those countries.
The AC21 will further discuss how best
to present this report to the Secretary of
Agriculture. The AC21 at this meeting
will also consider its other wide-ranging
report examining the impacts of
agricultural biotechnology on American
agriculture and USDA over the next 5 to
10 years. In particular, the AC21 will
review portions of the report, in various
stages of development, drafted by
various work groups, specifically the
two introductory report chapters; key
definitions; potential issues to consider;
and preparing for the future. In this
review, the AC21 will provide
comments and suggestions for how the
Committee and work groups can
develop the report and move it toward
completion. The AC21 will seek to
achieve consensus on the contents of
the report.
Background information regarding the
work of the AC21 will be available on
the USDA Web site at https://
www.usda.gov/agencies/biotech/
ac21.html. On February 7, 2005, if time
permits, reasonable provision will be
made for oral presentations of no more
than five minutes each in duration.

Properly classified furniture.
Softwood lumber products excluded
from the scope only if they meet certain
requirements:
Stringers (pallet components used for
runners): If they have at least two
notches on the side, positioned at equal
distance from the center, to properly
accommodate forklift blades, properly
classified under HTSUS 4421.90.97.40
(formerly HTSUS 4421.90.98.40).
Box-spring frame kits: If they contain
the following wooden pieces—two side
rails, two end (or top) rails and varying
numbers of slats. The side rails and the
end rails should be radius-cut at both
ends. The kits should be individually
packaged, they should contain the exact
number of wooden components needed
to make a particular box spring frame,
with no further processing required.
None of the components exceeds 1″ in
actual thickness or 83″ in length.
Radius-cut box-spring-frame
components, not exceeding 1″ in actual

U.S. origin lumber shipped to Canada
for minor processing and imported into
the United States, is excluded from the
scope of this order if the following
conditions are met: (1) The processing

occurring in Canada is limited to kilndrying, planing to create smooth-to-size
board, and sanding, and (2) the importer
establishes to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection’s (CBP) satisfaction that the
lumber is of U.S. origin.6
Softwood lumber products contained
in single family home packages or kits,7
regardless of tariff classification, are
excluded from the scope of the orders if
the following criteria are met:
1. The imported home package or kit
constitutes a full package of the number
of wooden pieces specified in the plan,
design or blueprint necessary to
produce a home of at least 700 square
feet produced to a specified plan, design
or blueprint;
2. The package or kit must contain all
necessary internal and external doors
and windows, nails, screws, glue,
subfloor, sheathing, beams, posts,
connectors and, if included in purchase
contract, decking, trim, drywall and roof
shingles specified in the plan, design or
blueprint;
3. Prior to importation, the package or
kit must be sold to a retailer of complete
home packages or kits pursuant to a
valid purchase contract referencing the
particular home design plan or
blueprint, and signed by a customer not
affiliated with the importer;
4. The whole package must be
imported under a single consolidated
entry when permitted by CBP, whether

the package or kit being entered that
conforms to the home design package
being entered;

identified as well.
We have determined that the
excluded products listed above are
6 For further clarification pertaining to this
exclusion, see the additional language concluding
the scope description below.
7 To ensure administrability, we clarified the
language of this exclusion to require an importer
certification and to permit single or multiple entries
on multiple days, as well as instructing importers
to retain and make available for inspection specific
documentation in support of each entry.

outside the scope of this order provided
the specified conditions are met.
Lumber products that CBP may classify
as stringers, radius cut box-spring-frame
components, and fence pickets, not
conforming to the above requirements,
as well as truss components, pallet
components, and door and window
frame parts, are covered under the scope
of this order and may be classified
under HTSUS subheadings
4418.90.40.90, 4421.90.70.40, and
4421.90.98.40. Due to changes in the
2002 HTSUS whereby subheading
4418.90.40.90 and 4421.90.98.40 were
changed to 4418.90.45.90 and
4421.90.97.40, respectively, we are
adding these subheadings as well.
In addition, this scope language has
been further clarified to now specify
that all softwood lumber products
entered from Canada claiming nonsubject status based on U.S. country of
origin will be treated as non-subject
U.S.-origin merchandise under the
VerDate jul<14>2003
18:04 Jan 21, 2005
Jkt 205001
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders, provided that these softwood
lumber products meet the following
condition: upon entry, the importer,
exporter, Canadian processor and/or
original U.S. producer establish to CBP’s
satisfaction that the softwood lumber
entered and documented as U.S.-origin
softwood lumber was first produced in
the United States as a lumber product
satisfying the physical parameters of the
softwood lumber scope.8 The
presumption of non-subject status can,
however, be rebutted by evidence
demonstrating that the merchandise was
substantially transformed in Canada.
Amended Final Results
In accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act, we have determined that

note that Nakina Forest Products Limited is a division of Long Lake Forest Products, Inc., an affiliate of Buchanan Lumber Sales.
10 As stated in the final results of changed circumstances review, Canfor’s weighted-average margin is based upon a weighted-average of
Canfor’s and Slocan’s respective cash deposit rates prior to the merger. See Memorandum from Daniel O’Brien, International Trade Compliance
Analyst, to The File, Re: Cash Deposit Rate for Canfor Corporation (December 13, 2004). We also note that, during the POR, Sinclar Enterprises
Ltd. (Sinclar) acted as an affiliated reseller for Lakeland, an affiliate of Canfor. In this review, we reviewed the sales of Canfor and its affiliates;
therefore, Canfor’s weighted-average margin applies to all sales of subject merchandise produced by any member of the Canfor Group and sold
by Sinclar. As Sinclar also separately requested a review, any sales of subject merchandise produced by another manufacturer and sold by
Sinclar will receive the ‘‘Review-Specific All Others’’ rate. Finally, we note that Canadian Forest Products, Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Canfor and will receive Canfor’s weighted-average margin.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
committee’s agenda includes the
following issues: nutrient relationships
in seafood - selection to balance benefits
and risks.
Background
Seafood contributes a variety of
nutritional benefits to the American
diet. They are sources of protein,
calcium, iodine, copper, zinc, and
omega–3 fatty acids. Furthermore, some
nutrients may affect bioavailability,
toxico-dynamics, and target-organ
transport, and thus affect the
toxicological response to certain
compounds. Contamination of marine
resources, however, whether by
naturally-occurring or introduced
toxicants, is a concern for U.S.
consumers because of the potential for
adverse health effects. Human exposure
to toxic compounds through seafood can
be managed by making choices that
provide desired nutrients balanced
against exposure to such compounds in
specific types of seafood that have been
found to pose a particular health risk.
Consumers, particularly subpopulations
that may be at increased risk, need
authoritative information to inform their
choices. The National Marine Fisheries
Service has contracted with the National
Academies of Science to produce a
report that will recommend approaches
to decision-making for selecting seafood
to obtain the greatest nutritional
benefits, balanced against exposure to
potential toxicants and identifies data
gaps and research needs. The study
objectives will include:
1. Identifying and examining the
routes of entry of naturally-occurring
and introduced toxicants into the food
supply, through seafood sources, and
evaluating food consumption patterns of
the U.S. population to estimate current
levels of intake exposure.

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are softwood lumber, flooring
and siding (softwood lumber products). Softwood lumber products include
all products classified under headings 4407.1000, 4409.1010, 4409.1090,
and 4409.1020, respectively, of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), and any softwood lumber, flooring and siding
described below. These softwood lumber products include:
(1) Coniferous wood, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled,
whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, of a thickness
exceeding six millimeters;
(2) Coniferous wood siding (including strips and friezes for
parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved,
rabbeted, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like)
along any of its edges or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or
finger-jointed;
(3) Other coniferous wood (including strips and friezes for parquet
flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved,
rabbeted, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like)
along any of its edges or faces (other than wood moldings and wood
dowel rods) whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed; and
(4) Coniferous wood flooring (including strips and friezes for
parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved,
rabbeted, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like)
along any of its edges or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or
finger-jointed.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under
review is dispositive. Preliminary scope exclusions and clarifications
were published in three separate Federal Register notices.
Softwood lumber products excluded from the scope:
Trusses and truss kits, properly classified under HTSUS 4418.90.
I-joist beams.
Assembled box spring frames.
Pallets and pallet kits, properly classified under HTSUS 4415.20.
Garage doors.
Edge-glued wood, properly classified under HTSUS 4421.90.97.40
(formerly HTSUS 4421.90.98.40).
Properly classified complete door frames.
Properly classified complete window frames.
Properly classified furniture.
Softwood lumber products excluded from the scope only if they meet
certain requirements:
Stringers (pallet components used for runners): If they have at
least two notches on the side, positioned at equal distance from the
center, to properly accommodate forklift blades, properly classified
under HTSUS 4421.90.97.40 (formerly HTSUS 4421.90.98.40).
Box-spring frame kits: If they contain the following wooden
pieces--two side rails, two end (or top) rails and varying numbers of
slats. The side rails and the end rails should be radius-cut at both
ends. The kits should be individually packaged, they should contain the
exact number of wooden components needed to make a particular box
spring frame, with no further processing required. None of the
components exceeds 1'' in actual thickness or 83'' in length.
Radius-cut box-spring-frame components, not exceeding 1'' in actual
thickness or 83'' in length, ready for assembly without further
processing. The radius cuts must be present on both ends of the boards
and must be substantial cuts so as to completely round one corner.
Fence pickets requiring no further processing and properly
classified under HTSUS 4421.90.70, 1'' or less in actual thickness, up
to 8'' wide, 6' or less in length, and have finials or decorative
cuttings that clearly identify them as fence pickets. In the case of
dog-eared fence pickets, the corners of the boards should be cut off so
as to remove pieces of wood in the shape of isosceles right angle
triangles with sides measuring \3/4\ inch or more.
U.S. origin lumber shipped to Canada for minor processing and
imported into the United States, is excluded from the scope of this
order if the following conditions are met: (1) The processing occurring
in Canada is limited to kiln-drying, planing to create smooth-to-size
board, and sanding, and (2) the importer establishes to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection's (CBP) satisfaction that the lumber is of U.S.
origin.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For further clarification pertaining to this exclusion, see
the additional language concluding the scope description below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Softwood lumber products contained in single family home packages
or kits,\7\ regardless of tariff classification, are excluded from the
scope of the orders if the following criteria are met:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ To ensure administrability, we clarified the language of
this exclusion to require an importer certification and to permit
single or multiple entries on multiple days, as well as instructing
importers to retain and make available for inspection specific
documentation in support of each entry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The imported home package or kit constitutes a full package of
the number of wooden pieces specified in the plan, design or blueprint
necessary to produce a home of at least 700 square feet produced to a
specified plan, design or blueprint;
2. The package or kit must contain all necessary internal and
external doors and windows, nails, screws, glue, subfloor, sheathing,
beams, posts, connectors and, if included in purchase contract,
decking, trim, drywall and roof shingles specified in the plan, design
or blueprint;
3. Prior to importation, the package or kit must be sold to a
retailer of complete home packages or kits pursuant to a valid purchase
contract referencing the particular home design plan or blueprint, and
signed by a customer not affiliated with the importer;
4. The whole package must be imported under a single consolidated
entry when permitted by CBP, whether or not on a single or multiple
trucks, rail cars or other vehicles, which shall be on the same day
except when the home is over 2,000 square feet;
5. The following documentation must be included with the entry
documents:
A copy of the appropriate home design, plan, or blueprint matching
the entry;
A purchase contract from a retailer of home kits or packages signed
by a customer not affiliated with the importer;
A listing of inventory of all parts of the package or kit being
entered that conforms to the home design package being entered;
In the case of multiple shipments on the same contract, all items
listed immediately above which are included in the present shipment
shall be identified as well.
We have determined that the excluded products listed above are
[[Page 3360]]
outside the scope of this order provided the specified conditions are
met. Lumber products that CBP may classify as stringers, radius cut
box-spring-frame components, and fence pickets, not conforming to the
above requirements, as well as truss components, pallet components, and
door and window frame parts, are covered under the scope of this order
and may be classified under HTSUS subheadings 4418.90.40.90,
4421.90.70.40, and 4421.90.98.40. Due to changes in the 2002 HTSUS
whereby subheading 4418.90.40.90 and 4421.90.98.40 were changed to
4418.90.45.90 and 4421.90.97.40, respectively, we are adding these
subheadings as well.
In addition, this scope language has been further clarified to now
specify that all softwood lumber products entered from Canada claiming
non-subject status based on U.S. country of origin will be treated as
non-subject U.S.-origin merchandise under the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders, provided that these softwood lumber
products meet the following condition: upon entry, the importer,
exporter, Canadian processor and/or original U.S. producer establish to
CBP's satisfaction that the softwood lumber entered and documented as
U.S.-origin softwood lumber was first produced in the United States as
a lumber product satisfying the physical parameters of the softwood
lumber scope.\8\ The presumption of non-subject status can, however, be
rebutted by evidence demonstrating that the merchandise was
substantially transformed in Canada.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See the scope clarification message (3034202), dated
February 3, 2003, to CBP, regarding treatment of U.S.-origin lumber
on file in the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce
Building.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amended Final Results
In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act, we have determined
that ministerial errors were made in our Final Results margin
calculations. For a detailed discussion of the ministerial error
allegations and the Department's analysis, see Memorandum to Barbara
Tillman, ``Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Softwood
Lumber Products from Canada; Allegation of Ministerial Errors,'' dated
January 14 , 2005, which is on file in the Central Records Unit
(``CRU''), room B-099 of the main Department building.
In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
we are amending the final results of the antidumping duty
administrative review of lumber from Canada to correct these
ministerial errors.
The revised weighted-average dumping margins for the period May 22,
2002, through April 30, 2003, are listed below:

\9\ We note that Nakina Forest Products Limited is a division of Long Lake Forest Products, Inc., an affiliate
of Buchanan Lumber Sales.
\10\ As stated in the final results of changed circumstances review, Canfor's weighted-average margin is based
upon a weighted-average of Canfor's and Slocan's respective cash deposit rates prior to the merger. See
Memorandum from Daniel O'Brien, International Trade Compliance Analyst, to The File, Re: Cash Deposit Rate for
Canfor Corporation (December 13, 2004). We also note that, during the POR, Sinclar Enterprises Ltd. (Sinclar)
acted as an affiliated reseller for Lakeland, an affiliate of Canfor. In this review, we reviewed the sales of
Canfor and its affiliates; therefore, Canfor's weighted-average margin applies to all sales of subject
merchandise produced by any member of the Canfor Group and sold by Sinclar. As Sinclar also separately
requested a review, any sales of subject merchandise produced by another manufacturer and sold by Sinclar will
receive the ``Review-Specific All Others'' rate. Finally, we note that Canadian Forest Products, Ltd. is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Canfor and will receive Canfor's weighted-average margin.
\11\ We note that Produits Forestiers Temrex Limited Partnership is the same entity as the company Produits
Forestiers Temrex Usine St. Alphonse, Inc. included in the initiation notice. See Notice of Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 68 FR 39059 (July 1, 2003).
\12\ Based on the final results of the changed circumstances review, Monterra shall receive Weyerhaeuser's
weighted-average margin until December 23, 2002; thereafter, the company will be subject to the review-
specific average rate. See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 68 FR
54891 (September 19, 2003).
\13\ See footnote 7.
Cash Deposit Rates
The following antidumping duty deposits will be required on all
shipments of certain softwood lumber products from Canada entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, effective on or after the
publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
the reviewed company will be the rate listed above; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, the previous review, or the original investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4)
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this
or any previous reviews, the cash deposit rate will be 8.43 percent,
the ``All Others'' rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect
until publication of the final results of the next administrative
review.
Assessment Rates
In accordance with section 19 CFR 356.8(a), the Department will
issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP on or after
41 days following the publication of these amended final results of
review to effect the Final Results and these amended final results.
We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in
accordance
[[Page 3363]]
with sections 751(a)(1), 751(h) and 771(i)(1) of the Act.
