Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission 
(``ITC'') in their five year (``sunset'') reviews that revocation of 
the antidumping duty (``AD'') order on certain artist canvas from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice of 
continuation of the AD order on certain artist canvas from the PRC.

DATES: Effective March 21, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Stolz; AD/CVD Operations, Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 1, 2006, the Department published the AD order on certain 
artist canvas from the PRC.\1\ On October 3, 2016, the Department 
initiated the second sunset review of the AD order on certain artist 
canvas from the PRC, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``Act'').\2\ As a result of its review, the 
Department determined that revocation of the AD order on certain artist 
canvas from the PRC 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 February 
22,

[[Page 14503]]

2017, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that 
revocation of the AD order on certain artist canvas from the PRC 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 this 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., pre-stretched 
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 this proceeding.
    Artist canvases subject to this order are currently classifiable 
under subheadings 5901.90.20.00, 5901.90.40.00, 5903.90.2500, 
5903.90.2000, 5903.90.1000, 5907.00.8090, 5907.00.8010, and 
5907.00.6000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS''). Specifically excluded from the scope of this order are 
tracing cloths, ``paint by number'' or ``or ``paint-it-yourself'' 
artist canvases with a copyrighted preprinted outline, pattern, or 
design, whether or not included in a painting set or kit.\5\ Also 
excluded are stretcher strips, whether or not made from wood, so long 
as they are not 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, our written description of the scope 
of this proceeding is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Artist canvases with a non-copyrighted preprinted outline, 
pattern, or design are included in the scope, whether or not 
included in a painting set or kit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, we have determined that canvas woven and primed in 
India, but cut, stretched and framed in the PRC and exported from the 
PRC, are not subject to the order covering artist canvas from the PRC. 
See Notice of Scope Rulings, 75 FR 14138 (March 24, 2010).

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of these determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the AD order on certain artist canvas from the PRC 
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, the Department hereby orders the 
continuation of the AD order on certain artist canvas from the PRC. 
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, the 
Department 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 this continuation.
    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 and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
