Notice of Amended Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Artist Canvas from the People's Republic of China
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-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.
