Pursuant to the recommendations of the Trade Policy Staff Committee and the Section 301 Committee, and taking account of the comments received in response to the May 2010 notice, the Trade Representative has determined: (1) That Canada’s adoption of the July 2010 amendment to the Softwood Lumber Products Export Charge Act, 2006, and the August 2010 Order in Council constitute ‘‘satisfactory measures’’; and (2) to modify the April 2009 action by removing the 10% import duty on entries of softwood lumber products from the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan with a shipment date of September 1, 2010 or later. In order to prevent any gap in collection of the charge, the 10% import duty will continue to apply to entries after September 1, 2010 with a shipment date of August 31, 2010 or earlier.
