Countervailing Duty Order
In accordance with section 706(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by the Department, countervailing
duties equal to the amount of the net
countervailable subsidy for all relevant
entries of LWTP from the PRC.
According to section 706(b)(2) of the
Act, duties shall be assessed on subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the ITC’s
notice of final determination if that
determination is based upon the threat
of material injury. Section 706(b)(1) of
the Act states, ‘‘If the Commission, in its
final determination under section
705(b), finds material injury or threat of
material injury which, but for the
suspension of liquidation under section
703(d)(2), would have led to a finding
of material injury, then entries of the
merchandise subject to the
countervailing duty order, the
liquidation of which has been
suspended under section 703(d)(2),
shall be subject to the imposition of
countervailing duties under section
701(a).’’ In addition, section 706(b)(2) of
the Act requires CBP to refund any cash
deposits or bonds of estimated
countervailing duties posted since the
Department’s preliminary
countervailing duty determination, if
the ITC’s final determination is threat–
based. Because the ITC’s final
determination in this case is based on
the threat of material injury and is not
accompanied by a finding that injury
would have resulted but for the
imposition of suspension of liquidation
of entries since the Department’s
preliminary determination was
published in the Federal Register,8
section 706(b)(2) of the Act is
applicable.
Therefore, the Department will direct
CBP to reinstitute suspension of
liquidation,9 and to assess, upon further
instruction from the Department,
countervailing duties on all
unliquidated entries of LWTP from the
8 See Lightweight Thermal Paper from the
People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment
of Final Countervailing Duty Determination with

Determination).
9 The Department instructed CBP to discontinue
the suspension of liquidation on July 12, 2008, in
accordance with section 703(a) of the Act. Section
703(d) states that the suspension of liquidation
pursuant to a preliminary determination may not
remain in effect for more than four months.

Background
On October 2, 2008, the Department
published the final determinations of
sales at less than fair value of LWTP
from Germany and the PRC. See
Lightweight Thermal Paper from
Germany: Notice of Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 73 FR

Lightweight Thermal Paper from the
People’s Republic of China: Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value, 73 FR 57329 (October 2,
2008).
On November 17, 2008, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to section
735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’), that an industry
in the United States is threatened with
material injury within the meaning of
section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by
reason of less-than-fair-value imports of
LWTP from Germany and the PRC. See
Letter from the ITC to the Secretary of
Commerce regarding, ‘‘Notification of
Final Affirmative Threat Determination

70960
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 227 / Monday, November 24, 2008 / Notices
Department is publishing antidumping
duty orders on LWTP from Germany
and the PRC.
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders 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
coat 2 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 an adhesive
backing. Certain lightweight thermal
paper is typically (but not exclusively)
used in point-of-sale applications such
as ATM receipts, credit card receipts,
gas pump receipts, and retail store
receipts. The merchandise subject to
these orders may be classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under
subheadings 3703.10.60, 4811.59.20,
4811.90.8040, 4811.90.9090, 4820.10.20,
and 4823.40.00.5 Although HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Orders
In accordance with section 736(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(‘‘CBP’’) to assess, upon further
information from the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or the constructed export price) of the
merchandise for all relevant entries of
LWTP from Germany and the PRC.
Pursuant to section 736(b)(2) of the
Act, duties shall be assessed on subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the ITC’s
notice of final determination if that
determination is based on the threat of
material injury and is not accompanied
by a finding that injury would have
resulted without the imposition of
suspension of liquidation of entries
since the Department’s preliminary
determination.
Additionally, section 736(b)(2) of the
Act requires CBP to refund any cash
deposits or bonds of estimated
antidumping duties posted since the
preliminary antidumping determination
if the ITC’s final determination is threatbased.
Because the ITC’s final determination
is based on the threat of material injury
and is not accompanied by a finding
that injury would have resulted but for
the imposition of suspension of
liquidation of entries since the
Preliminary Determination and
Postponement of Final Determination6
section 736(b)(2) of the Act is
applicable. Therefore, the Department
will instruct CBP to assess, upon further
advice, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of lightweight
thermal paper from Germany and the
PRC entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication of the ITC’s
notice of final determination of threat of
material injury in the Federal Register,

Interested parties may contact the
Department’s Central Records Unit,
Room 1117 of the Main Commerce
Building, for copies of an updated list
of antidumping duty orders currently in
effect.
This order is issued and published in
accordance with section 736(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.211(b).
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 and converted rolls (as well as
LWTP in any other form, presentation, or
dimension) are covered by the scope of these
orders.
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.
5 HTSUS subheading 4811.90.8000 was a
classification used for LWTP until January 1, 2007.
Effective that date, subheading 4811.90.8000 was
replaced with 4811.90.8020 (for gift wrap, a nonsubject product) and 4811.90.8040 (for ‘‘other’’
including LWTP). HTSUS subheading 4811.90.9000
was a classification for LWTP until July 1, 2005.

respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 2, 2008, the Department published the final
determinations of sales at less than fair value of LWTP from Germany
and the PRC. See Lightweight Thermal Paper from Germany: Notice of
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 73 FR 57326
(October 2, 2008); and Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People's
Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value, 73 FR 57329 (October 2, 2008).
On November 17, 2008, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), that an industry in the United States is
threatened with material injury within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by reason of less-than-fair-value imports
of LWTP from Germany and the PRC. See Letter from the ITC to the
Secretary of Commerce regarding, ``Notification of Final Affirmative
Threat Determination of Lightweight Thermal Paper from Germany and from
the People's Republic of China,'' Investigation Nos. 701-TA-451 and
731-TA-1126-1127 (Final) (November 17, 2008). Pursuant to section
736(a) of the Act, the
[[Page 70960]]
Department is publishing antidumping duty orders on LWTP from Germany
and the PRC.
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders includes certain
lightweight thermal paper, which is thermal paper with a basis weight
of 70 grams per square meter (g/m\2\) (with a tolerance of 4.0 g/m\2\) or less; irrespective of dimensions;\1\ with or
without a base coat \2\ 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 an adhesive backing. Certain
lightweight thermal paper is typically (but not exclusively) used in
point-of-sale applications such as ATM receipts, credit card receipts,
gas pump receipts, and retail store receipts. The merchandise subject
to these orders may be classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (``HTSUS'') under subheadings 3703.10.60, 4811.59.20,
4811.90.8040, 4811.90.9090, 4820.10.20, and 4823.40.00.\5\ Although
HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 and converted rolls (as well as
LWTP in any other form, presentation, or dimension) are covered by
the scope of these orders.
\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.
\5\ HTSUS subheading 4811.90.8000 was a classification used for
LWTP until January 1, 2007. Effective that date, subheading
4811.90.8000 was replaced with 4811.90.8020 (for gift wrap, a non-
subject product) and 4811.90.8040 (for ``other'' including LWTP).
HTSUS subheading 4811.90.9000 was a classification for LWTP until
July 1, 2005. Effective that date, subheading 4811.90.9000 was
replaced with 4811.90.9010 (for tissue paper, a non-subject product)
and 4811.90.9090 (for ``other,'' including LWTP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antidumping Duty Orders
In accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department
will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess,
upon further information from the Department, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or the constructed export price) of the merchandise for
all relevant entries of LWTP from Germany and the PRC.
Pursuant to section 736(b)(2) of the Act, duties shall be assessed
on subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the ITC's notice of
final determination if that determination is based on the threat of
material injury and is not accompanied by a finding that injury would
have resulted without the imposition of suspension of liquidation of
entries since the Department's preliminary determination.
Additionally, section 736(b)(2) of the Act requires CBP to refund
any cash deposits or bonds of estimated antidumping duties posted since
the preliminary antidumping determination if the ITC's final
determination is threat-based.
Because the ITC's final determination is based on the threat of
material injury and is not accompanied by a finding that injury would
have resulted but for the imposition of suspension of liquidation of
entries since the Preliminary Determination and Postponement of Final
Determination\6\ section 736(b)(2) of the Act is applicable. Therefore,
the Department will instruct CBP to assess, upon further advice,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of lightweight thermal
paper from Germany and the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the ITC's notice
of final determination of threat of material injury in the Federal
Register, in accordance with the following dumping margins:
