SUMMARY: On July 6, 2007, the United
States Court of International Trade
(‘‘CIT’’) affirmed the remand results
made by the U.S. International Trade
Commission (‘‘ITC’’) pursuant to the
CIT’s remand of the final determination
of the antidumping duty investigation of
carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod
from Trinidad & Tobago. See Mittal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
Caribbean Ispat Limited v. United
States, 366 F. Supp. 2d 1300 (Ct. Int’l
Trade 2005), the CIT affirmed the ITC’s
finding that subject imports from
Trinidad and Tobago caused material
injury to the domestic industry. In
Caribbean Ispat Limited v. United
States, 450 F.3d 1336 (Fed. Cir. 2006),
the Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) reversed the CIT’s
judgment, and remanded the case to the
CIT with instructions to further remand
the case to the ITC so that it may
reconsider its causation analysis and
directly address whether other dumped
or fairly traded imports would have
replaced the imports from Trinidad and
Tobago without any beneficial effect on
domestic producers.
On January 16, 2007, the ITC filed its
remand results with the CIT. In the
remand results, the ITC determined that
it was unable to find that imports from
other producers of subject merchandise
would not have replaced subject
imports from Trinidad and Tobago in
the United States market. The ITC
further found that the United States is
not materially injured or threatened
with material injury by reason of
imports of subject merchandise from
Trinidad and Tobago sold in the United
States at less than fair value.
In its decision in Timken Co. v.
United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed.
Cir. 1990) (‘‘Timken’’), the CAFC held
that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), the Department must publish a
notice of a court decision that is not ‘‘in
harmony’’ with an ITC determination,
E:\FR\FM\02NON1.SGM
02NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 212 / Friday, November 2, 2007 / Notices
and must suspend liquidation of entries
pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision.
The CIT’s decision in this case on July
6, 2007, constitutes a decision of the
court that is not in harmony with the
ITC Final Determination. This notice is
published in fulfillment of the
publication requirements of Timken.
Accordingly, the Department will
suspend liquidation of subject
merchandise entered after the effective
date of this notice pending a final and
conclusive court decision.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 516A(c)(1) of
the Act.

BILLING CODE 3510–DS–S
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
On April 27, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published a
notice of initiation of administrative
reviews of antidumping duty orders that
included the antidumping duty order on
stainless steel bar from France, covering
the period March 1, 2006, through
February 28, 2007. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 20986
(April 27, 2007). Pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), the Department shall
make a preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The Act further provides,
however, that the Department may
VerDate Aug<31>2005
extend that 245-day period to up to 365
days if it determines it is not practicable
to complete the review within the
foregoing time period.
The preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel bar from France are currently
scheduled to be completed on December
1, 2007. However, the Department finds
that it is not practicable to complete the
preliminary results in this
administrative review within this time
limit because additional time is needed
to fully analyze the sales and cost–ofproduction questionnaire responses and
supplemental questionnaire responses
submitted by the respondent, and to
conduct verifications of these responses.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results of
this review by 120 days to March 30,
2008. Because March 30, 2008, falls on
a non–business day, the Department
will complete the preliminary results of
this review no later than March 31,
2008, which is the next business day
after the 120-day extension period. The
final results continue to be due 120 days
after the publication of the preliminary
results.
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

The Petition
On September 19, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) received a petition filed
in proper form by Appleton Papers Inc.
(the ‘‘petitioner’’) a domestic producer
of lightweight thermal paper (‘‘LWTP’’).
In response to the Department’s
requests, the petitioner provided timely
information supplementing the petition
on September 28, October 2, and
October 23, 2007.
In accordance with section 702(b)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’), the petitioner alleges that
manufacturers, producers, or exporters
of LWTP in the People’s Republic of
China ( the ‘‘PRC’’), receive
countervailable subsidies within the
meaning of section 701 of the Act and
that such imports are materially
injuring, or threatening material injury
to, an industry in the United States.
The Department finds that the
petitioner filed the petition on behalf of
the domestic industry because it is an
interested party as defined in section
771(9)(C) of the Act and the petitioner
has demonstrated sufficient industry
support with respect to the
countervailing duty investigation (see
‘‘Determination of Industry Support for
the Petition’’ section below).
Period of Investigation
The period of investigation is January
1, 2006, through December 31, 2006.
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by each of
this investigation includes certain
lightweight thermal paper, which is
thermal paper with a basis weight of 70
grams per square meter (‘‘g/m2’’) (with
a tolerance of ± 4.0 g/m2) or less;
irrespective of dimensions;1 with or
without a base coat2 on one or both
sides; with thermal active coating(s)3 on
one or both sides that is a mixture of the
dye and the developer that react and
form an image when heat is applied;
with or without a top coat;4 and without
1 LWTP is typically produced in jumbo rolls that
are slit to the specifications of the converting
equipment and then converted into finished slit
rolls. Both jumbo rolls and converted rolls (as well
as LWTP in any other forms, presentations, or
dimensions) are covered by the scope of these
investigations.
2 A base coat, when applied, is typically made of
clay and/or latex and like materials and is intended
to cover the rough surface of the paper substrate
and to provide insulating value.
3 A thermal active coating is typically made of
sensitizer, dye, and co-reactant.
4 A top coat, when applied, is typically made of
polyvinyl acetone, polyvinyl alcohol, and/or like
materials and is intended to provide environmental
protection, an improved surface for press printing,
and/or wear protection for the thermal print head.
