Disclosure
As noted above, no party commented
on Commerce’s Preliminary Results. As
a result, we have not modified our
analysis from the Preliminary Results,
and we will not issue a decision
memorandum to accompany this
Federal Register notice. We are
adopting the Preliminary Results as the
final results of this review. Further,
because we have not changed our
calculations since the Preliminary
Results, there are no new calculations to
disclose in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b) for these final results.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce has determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. For MEM/
Master, we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by MEM/Master for which
MEM/Master did not know that the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:37 Oct 11, 2022
Jkt 259001
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.5
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination, we
intend to assign an assessment rate
based on the rate calculated for MEM/
Master, as noted above.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments
of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for MEM/Master will
be equal to its weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by a producer
or exporter not covered in this review
but covered in a prior completed
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer has been covered in a prior
completed segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will be the
company-specific rate established for
the most recent period for the producer
of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 4.30 percent,6 the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing

duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,
is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) order on certain artist canvas
(artist canvas) from the People’s
Republic of China (China) would likely

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 1, 2006, Commerce published
the AD order on artist canvas from
China.1 On February 1, 2022, Commerce
initiated the third five-year (sunset)
review of the Order pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).2 As a result of its
review, Commerce determined that
revocation of the Order would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail should the Order be revoked.3
On October 5, 2022, the ITC published
its determination, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
Order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.4
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the Order
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., prestretched 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 the Order.
Artist canvases subject to the Order
are currently classifiable under
subheadings 5901.90.20.00 and

incorporated into artist canvases or sold
as part of an artist canvas kit or set.
While the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the Order is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby
orders the continuation of the Order.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD cash deposits at
the rates in effect at the time of entry for
all imports of subject merchandise. The
effective date of the continuation of the
Order will be the date of publication in
the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce intends
to initiate the next five-year review of
the Order not later than 30 days prior
to the fifth anniversary of the effective
date of continuation.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return/destruction or conversion to
judicial protective order of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Failure to comply is a violation of the
APO which may be subject to sanctions.
Notification to Interested Parties
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Disclosure
As noted above, no party commented on Commerce's Preliminary
Results. As a result, we have not modified our analysis from the
Preliminary Results, and we will not issue a decision memorandum to
accompany this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the Preliminary
Results as the final results of this review. Further, because we have
not changed our calculations since the Preliminary Results, there are
no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b)
for these final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review. For MEM/Master, we will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by MEM/Master for which
MEM/Master did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies which were not selected for individual
examination, we intend to assign an assessment rate based on the rate
calculated for MEM/Master, as noted above.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S
Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct
CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to
file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90
days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate
for MEM/Master will be equal to its weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this
review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but
the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate
established for the most recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 4.30 percent,\6\ the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation. These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
[[Page 61568]]
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure
to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
section 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: October 4, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
