These meetings bring together government officials and representatives of business, industry, trade associations, and consumer organizations on subjects related to the field of weights and measures technology, administration, and enforcement. NIST hosted the first meeting of the NCWM in 1905. Since then, the conference has provided a model of cooperation between Federal, State, and local governments and the private sector. NIST participates to encourage cooperation between federal agencies and the states in the development of legal metrology requirements. NIST also promotes uniformity in state laws, regulations, and testing procedures used in the regulatory control of commercial weighing and measuring devices, DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 packaged goods, and for other trade and commerce issues.

Background

    On March 4, 2021, Commerce published its Initiation Notice for the 
administrative review of the CVD order on softwood lumber from Canada

administrative review: Brink Forest Products Ltd.; Deep Cove Forest 
Products, Inc.; and Vanderhoof Specialty Wood Products Ltd.\2\ 
Additionally, in the Final Results of the CVD administrative review

selected for individual examination.\3\

inadvertently omitted from the Initiation Notice, the company did not 
have entries during the POR according to the U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) entry data on the record.\5\ As a result, Deep Cove 
Forest Products, Inc. will not be subject to the assessment and cash
