Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective April 1, 
2005, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Tara Materials, Inc., of Lawrenceville, GA. The final phase 
of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
artists' canvas from China were being sold at LTFV within the meaning 
of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigation and of 
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of November 17, 2005 (70 FR 69781). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on March 28, 2006, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on May 15, 2006. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3853 (May 2006), entitled 
Artists' Canvas from China: Investigation No. 731-TA-1091 (Final).
