This form appoints the approved applicant as an agent of NAHMS, specifies the data to which the agreement applies and the conditions by which the agent must adhere to protect the confidentiality of the data, provides citations and excerpts from applicable laws under which data are protected, and requires a signature by the applicant. Æ For datasets owned by NASS and NAHMS, the applicants will complete and sign the NASS ADM–043: Certification and Restrictions on Use of Unpublished Data. This form is required to be signed by researchers who have been approved to access unpublished NASS data. The form contains excerpts of the various laws that apply to the unpublished data being provided to the applicant. The form explains the restrictions associated with the unpublished data and includes a place for the applicant to sign the form, thereby acknowledging the restrictions and agreeing to abide by them. • Physical or virtual Data Lab security requirement: Æ If physical Data Lab access is requested, the applicant will be required to take the NAHMS Data Lab Training and USDA Information Security Awareness Training. The NAHMS Data Lab Training outlines the processes and procedures regarding gaining access to, working within, and requesting output from the physical NAHMS Data Lab in Fort Collins, CO, and the USDA Information Security Awareness Training is required of all personnel who are given access to USDA information technology systems. Æ If virtual enclave access is requested, the applicant will be required to complete a site inspection with NAHMS personnel (using the NAHMS Site Inspection Checklist) or NASS personnel (using the NASS ADM–045: Site Inspection Checklist), which gathers information about the physical environment and the computer that the applicant will use to gain access to the virtual enclave. Note that the training requirements and security agreements listed above are for researchers requesting access to NAHMS-owned data or NASS and NAHMS co-owned data. The burden and cost estimates associated with this information collection request (ICR) account for both. NAHMS and NASS have agreed to report the burden and cost estimates for the NASS activities above under this ICR, and the NASS activities will be merged into the NASS ICR (0535–0274) upon its next renewal.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that producers and exporters of certain softwood lumber products (softwood lumber) from Canada received countervailable subsidies during the period of review (POR), January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. DATES: Applicable August 19, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On February 6, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results of this administrative review in the Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment.1 On April 25, 2024, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the final results of this review until August 2, 2024, which was tolled by seven days until August 9, 2024.2 On August 7, 2024, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results of this review until August 12, 2024.3 For a complete description of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/ public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Order 5 The product covered by this Order is certain softwood lumber products from Canada. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found to be countervailable, we find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.6 Changes Since the Preliminary Results The subsidy programs under review, and the issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs submitted by the interested parties, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Based on our analysis of the comments received from the interested parties, we made changes to the subsidy rates calculated for certain respondents. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review Because the rates calculated for the companies selected for individual review are above de minimis and not based entirely on facts available, we applied a subsidy rate based on a weighted average of the subsidy rates calculated for the reviewed companies using sales data submitted by those companies to calculate a rate for the companies not selected for review. This is consistent with the methodology that we would use in an investigation to establish the all-others rate, pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. For further information on the calculation of the non-selected rate, see the section titled ‘‘Final Ad Valorem Rate for Non-Selected Companies under Review’’ in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For a list of the nonselected companies, see Appendix II to this notice. Final Results of Review In accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) and of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we determine that the following total net countervailable subsidy rates exist for the period January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022: Subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) Company ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Canfor Corporation and its cross-owned affiliates 7 ............................................................................................................................
