SUMMARY: On November 7, 2005, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published its affirmative preliminary determination in this proceeding. See Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Artist Canvas from the People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 67412 (November 7, 2005) (‘‘Preliminary Determination’’). While the Department did not receive any allegations of ministerial errors in the Preliminary Determination, the Department inadvertently stated an inaccurate manufacturer/producer name in the provided combination rate, and inadvertently failed to include one combination rate. In the Preliminary Determination, the Department stated it would calculate combination rates for certain respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. Thus, we granted Jiangsu Animal By–products Import & Export Group Corp. (‘‘Jiangsu By–products’’) (i.e., a separate rate applicant) a separate rate and calculated a combination rate for Jiangsu By– products. However, in our Weighted– AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74291 Average Dumping Margins section, the Department inadvertently stated an inaccurate manufacturer/producer name in the provided combination rate for Jiangsu By–products, and inadvertently failed to include one combination rate for Jiangsu By–products. Therefore, we are correcting the Weighted–Average Dumping Margins section to include the additional combination rate and to correct the manufacturer/producer name. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scope The products covered by this investigation are artist canvases regardless of dimension and/or size, whether assembled or unassembled, that have been primed/coated, whether or not made from cotton, whether or not archival, whether bleached or unbleached, and whether or not containing an ink receptive top coat. Priming/coating includes the application of a solution, designed to promote the adherence of artist materials, such as paint or ink, to the fabric. Artist canvases (i.e., pre– stretched canvases, canvas panels, canvas pads, canvas rolls (including bulk rolls that have been primed), printable canvases, floor cloths, and placemats) are tightly woven prepared painting and/or printing surfaces. Artist canvas and stretcher strips (whether or not made of wood and whether or not assembled) included within a kit or set are covered by this proceeding. Artist canvases subject to this investigation are currently classifiable under subheadings 5901.90.20.00 and 5901.90.40.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Specifically excluded from the scope of this investigation are tracing cloths, ‘‘paint–by-number’’ or ‘‘paint–it-yourself’’ artist canvases with a copyrighted preprinted outline, pattern, or design, whether or not included in a painting set or kit.1 Also excluded are stretcher strips, whether or not made from wood, so long as they are not incorporated into artist canvases or sold as part of an artist canvas kit or set. While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive. Amended Preliminary Determination As a result of our correction to the Preliminary Determination, we have determined that the following 1 Artist canvases with a non-copyrighted preprinted outline, pattern, or design are included in the scope, whether or not included in a painting set or kit.
