Commerce, ‘‘Notification of Final
Affirmative Determination of
Lightweight Thermal Paper from the
People’s Republic of China’’
(Investigation Nos. 701–TA–451 and
731–TA–1126–1127 (Final) (November
17, 2008). Pursuant to section 706(a) of
the Act, the Department is publishing a
countervailing duty order on the subject
merchandise.
The merchandise covered by this
order 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 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
this order may be classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under
subheadings 4811.90.8040,
4811.90.9090, 3703.10.60, 4811.59.20,
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 this
order 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 nonsubject 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 nonsubject product) and 4811.90.9090 (for ‘‘other,’’
including LWTP).

Amendment to the Final Determination
On October 14, 2008, the petitioner6
filed timely allegations stating that the
Department made four ministerial errors
in its final determination. Respondent
Guangdong Guanhao High–Tech Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘GG’’) and its affiliated input
supplier, Zhanjiang Guanlong Paper
Industrial Co., Ltd. (‘‘ZG’’) (collectively,
‘‘the respondents’’) responded to the
petitioner’s allegations on October 20,
2008, stating that the petitioner failed to
document and explain how the issues it
had raised constituted ministerial errors
as defined by the regulation. The
respondents did not address the
specifics of petitioner’s allegations.
After analyzing the comments
received, we have determined, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that
we made three ministerial errors in our
calculations performed for the final
determination.7
In summary, the petitioner contended
that, the Department made errors in
calculating the benefit from GG’s policy
loans, including incorrectly calculating
the number of days outstanding for
certain short–term loans, applying an
incorrect short–term benchmark to
another loan and miscalculating the
benchmark interest rate for certain long–
term loans to ZG. The Department
agrees with the petitioner that certain of
these three errors constitute ministerial
errors that warrant correction. We are
correcting these errors with this notice.
See Ministerial Error Allegations Memo
at pages 3–5.
As a result of correcting these errors,
the countervailing duty rate calculated
for GG has changed from 13.17 percent
to 13.63 percent. Because the other rates
calculated in our final determination
relied in part on GG’s policy loan rate,
we are also amending those rates. The
countervailing duty calculated for
Shenzhen Yuanming Industrial
Development Co., Ltd. has changed from
137.25 percent to 138.53 percent, the
countervailing duty calculated for
MDCN Technology Co., Ltd. and
Xiamen Anne Paper Co., Ltd. has
changed from 123.65 percent to 124.93
percent, and the countervailing duty
calculated for all–other exporters has
changed from 13.17 percent to 13.63
percent. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(e), we are amending the final
determination in the countervailing

Inc. (‘‘Petitioner’’).

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

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

pursuant to a preliminary determination may not
remain in effect for more than four months.

Background
On October 2, 2008, the Department published its final
determination in the countervailing duty investigation of LWTP from the
PRC. See Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People's Republic of China:
Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 73 FR 57323
(October 2, 2008) and corresponding ``Issues and Decision Memorandum''
(Final Determination).
On November 17, 2008, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to sections 705(d) and 705(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that an industry in the
United States is threatened with material industry by reason of
subsidized imports of subject merchandise from the PRC. See Letter from
the ITC to the Secretary of Commerce, ``Notification of Final
Affirmative Determination of Lightweight Thermal Paper from the
People's Republic of China'' (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-451 and 731-TA-
1126-1127 (Final) (November 17, 2008). Pursuant to section 706(a) of
the Act, the Department is publishing a countervailing duty order on
the subject merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order 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 this order may be classified
in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'')
under subheadings 4811.90.8040, 4811.90.9090, 3703.10.60, 4811.59.20,
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 this order 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).

Amendment to the Final Determination
On October 14, 2008, the petitioner\6\ filed timely allegations
stating that the Department made four ministerial errors in its final
determination. Respondent Guangdong Guanhao High-Tech Co., Ltd.
(``GG'') and its affiliated input supplier, Zhanjiang Guanlong Paper
Industrial Co., Ltd. (``ZG'') (collectively, ``the respondents'')
responded to the petitioner's allegations on October 20, 2008, stating
that the petitioner failed to document and explain how the issues it
had raised constituted ministerial errors as defined by the regulation.
The respondents did not address the specifics of petitioner's
allegations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The petitioner in this case is Appleton Papers Inc.
(``Petitioner'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After analyzing the comments received, we have determined, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made three ministerial
errors in our calculations performed for the final determination.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See generally Memorandum to Susan Kuhbach, Director, Office
1, AD/CVD Operations from Nancy Decker, Program Manager, Office 1,
``Countervailing Duty Investigation: Lightweight Thermal Paper from
the People's Republic of China: Ministerial Error Allegations''
(October 29, 2008) (``Ministerial Error Allegations Memo'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In summary, the petitioner contended that, the Department made
errors in calculating the benefit from GG's policy loans, including
incorrectly calculating the number of days outstanding for certain
short-term loans, applying an incorrect short-term benchmark to another
loan and miscalculating the benchmark interest rate for certain long-
term loans to ZG. The Department agrees with the petitioner that
certain of these three errors constitute ministerial errors that
warrant correction. We are correcting these errors with this notice.
See Ministerial Error Allegations Memo at pages 3-5.
As a result of correcting these errors, the countervailing duty
rate calculated for GG has changed from 13.17 percent to 13.63 percent.
Because the other rates calculated in our final determination relied in
part on GG's policy loan rate, we are also amending those rates. The
countervailing duty calculated for Shenzhen Yuanming Industrial
Development Co., Ltd. has changed from 137.25 percent to 138.53
percent, the countervailing duty calculated for MDCN Technology Co.,
Ltd. and Xiamen Anne Paper Co., Ltd. has changed from 123.65 percent to
124.93 percent, and the countervailing duty calculated for all-other
exporters has changed from 13.17 percent to 13.63 percent. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the final
determination in the countervailing

duty investigation of LWTP from the PRC to reflect these changes.
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.

China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and
Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty Determination with Final
Antidumping Duty Determination, 73 FR 13850 (March 14, 2008)
(Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective on the date of publication of the ITC's notice of final
determination in the Federal Register, CBP will require, at the same
time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties, cash
deposits for the subject merchandise equal to the net subsidy rates
listed below. See section 706(a)(3) of the Act. The all-others rate
applies to all producers and exporters of subject merchandise not
