and order. See Saccharin Order. The
Department has determined that the
request submitted by PMCSG is
sufficient to warrant a changed
circumstances review.
In accordance with sections 751(d)(1)
and 782(h)(2) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.216 and 351.222(g), a domestic
producer of the like product, PMCSG,
claims changed circumstances exist and
has made an affirmative statement that
no further interest exists in continuing
the order on saccharin. PMCSG further
alleges that it represents 100 percent of
the domestic industry and that it
accounts for all of the production of the
domestic like product to which the
order pertains. Based upon the
statement of no interest by PMCSG, the
Department has determined that there is
sufficient information to conduct a
changed circumstances review.
However, in light of the opposition to
the potential revocation, and Kinetic’s
claim to be a domestic producer of the
like product, the Department does not
have sufficient information on the
record of this changed circumstances
review to determine that PMCSG
accounts for substantially all (i.e., at
least 85 percent) of the production of
the domestic like product. Accordingly,
we are initiating a changed
circumstances review, but will not
conduct an expedited changed
circumstances review and preliminary
determination, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.221(c)(3)(ii). The Department
intends to issue questionnaires to
Kinetic, the third party toller of
Kinetic’s saccharin, and PMCSG to
solicit relevant information and fully
evaluate the request to revoke the
antidumping duty order on saccharin
from the PRC as well as the arguments
against this revocation.
The Department will issue
questionnaires requesting additional
information for the review and will
publish in the Federal Register a notice
of the preliminary results of the
antidumping duty changed
circumstances review, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(2) and (4), and
19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(i). That notice will
set forth a description of any action
proposed. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(ii), interested parties will
have an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results of review. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(e), the
Department intends to issue the final
results of its antidumping duty changed
circumstances review not later than 270
days after the date on which this review
is initiated.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 28, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published in the Federal
Register an antidumping duty order on
certain lined paper products (CLPP)
from the People’s Republic of China
(PRC).1 On September 2, 2008, the
Department published a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on CLPP from China. See Antidumping
or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,
or Suspended Investigation;
Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review, 73 FR 51272 (September 2,
2008). On September 30, 2008, the
Association of American School Paper
Suppliers (Petitioner) requested that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of (1) Shanghai Lian Li Paper
Products Co., Ltd. (Lian Li), and (2) the
Watanabe Group, which consists of
Watanabe Paper Products (Shanghai)
Co., Ltd., Watanabe Paper Products
(Lingqing) Co., Ltd., and Hotrock

Stationery (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
(collectively, the Watanabe Group) for
the period of review (POR) of September
1, 2007 through August 31, 2008.
On October 29, 2008, the Department
initiated this review with respect to
both requested companies. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Deferral of Administrative
Review, 73 FR 64305 (October 29, 2008).
On November 13, 2008, Lian Li
submitted a letter certifying that it did
not have any shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. The
Department conducted an internal U. S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
data query on November 13, 2008, to
investigate Lian Li’s claim, and found
that Lian Li had made shipments to the
United States during the POR, which
were entered under the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) numbers for subject
merchandise. See Memorandum to File
from Joy Zhang titled ‘‘Internal Customs
Data Query,’’ dated December 2, 2008.
Therefore, on December 2, 2008, the
Department issued a questionnaire to
Lian Li.
On January 9, Petitioner filed
comments on Lian Li’s no shipment
claim, asking the Department to request
product samples from Lian Li. On
January 29, 2009, Lian Li submitted
product samples of the merchandise it
exported to the United States during the
POR, which Lian Li claimed were non–
subject merchandise. On March 4, 2009,
counsel for Petitioner inspected Lian
Li’s product samples. See Memorandum
to the File from Joy Zhang titled
‘‘Inspecting the Product Samples by
Counsel for the Association of American
School Paper Supplies,’’ dated March 4,
2009.
On June 4, 2009, the Department
published a notice extending the
deadline for the preliminary results
from for 120 days to September 30,
2009. In this notice the Department also
published its intent to rescind this
administrative review in part with
respect to Lian Li because the
Department preliminarily determined
that the product samples submitted by
Lian Li and the Customs data
demonstrated that Lian Li did not
export subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR. See

Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes
certain lined paper products, typically

for measurement purposes, pages with
tapered or rounded edges shall be
measured at their longest and widest
points. Subject lined paper products
may be loose, packaged or bound using
any binding method (other than case
bound through the inclusion of binders
board, a spine strip, and cover wrap).

(including but not limited to
products commonly known as
‘‘tablets,’’ ‘‘note pads,’’ ‘‘legal
pads,’’ and ‘‘quadrille pads’’),
provided that they do not have a
front cover (whether permanent or
removable). This exclusion does not
apply to such writing pads if they
consist of hole–punched or drilled
filler paper;
• three–ring or multiple–ring binders,
or notebook organizers
incorporating such a ring binder
provided that they do not include
subject paper;
• index cards;

of a single- or double–margin
vertical ruling line down the center
of the page. For a six–inch by nine–
inch stenographic pad, the ruling
would be located approximately
three inches from the left of the
book.), measuring 6 inches by 9
inches;
Also excluded from the scope of this
order are the following trademarked
products:
• FlyTM lined paper products: A
notebook, notebook organizer, loose
or glued note paper, with papers
that are printed with infrared
reflective inks and readable only by
a FlyTM pen–top computer. The
product must bear the valid
trademark FlyTM (products found to
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
be bearing an invalidly licensed or
used trademark are not excluded
from the scope).
• ZwipesTM: A notebook or notebook
organizer made with a blended
polyolefin writing surface as the
cover and pocket surfaces of the
notebook, suitable for writing using
a specially–developed permanent
marker and erase system (known as
a ZwipesTM pen). This system
allows the marker portion to mark
the writing surface with a
permanent ink. The eraser portion
of the marker dispenses a solvent
capable of solubilizing the
permanent ink allowing the ink to
be removed. The product must bear
the valid trademark ZwipesTM
(products found to be bearing an
invalidly licensed or used
trademark are not excluded from
the scope).
• FiveStar®AdvanceTM: A notebook
or notebook organizer bound by a
continuous spiral, or helical, wire
and with plastic front and rear
covers made of a blended polyolefin
plastic material joined by 300
denier polyester, coated on the
backside with PVC (poly vinyl
chloride) coating, and extending the
entire length of the spiral or helical
wire. The polyolefin plastic covers
are of specific thickness; front cover
is 0.019 inches (within normal
manufacturing tolerances) and rear
cover is 0.028 inches (within
normal manufacturing tolerances).
Integral with the stitching that
attaches the polyester spine
covering, is captured both ends of a
1’’ wide elastic fabric band. This
band is located 2–3/8’’ from the top
of the front plastic cover and
provides pen or pencil storage. Both
ends of the spiral wire are cut and
then bent backwards to overlap
with the previous coil but
specifically outside the coil
diameter but inside the polyester
covering. During construction, the
polyester covering is sewn to the
front and rear covers face to face
(outside to outside) so that when
the book is closed, the stitching is
concealed from the outside. Both
free ends (the ends not sewn to the
cover and back) are stitched with a
turned edge construction. The
flexible polyester material forms a
covering over the spiral wire to
protect it and provide a comfortable
grip on the product. The product
must bear the valid trademarks
FiveStar®AdvanceTM (products
found to be bearing an invalidly
licensed or used trademark are not
excluded from the scope).

• FiveStar FlexTM: A notebook, a
notebook organizer, or binder with
plastic polyolefin front and rear
covers joined by 300 denier
polyester spine cover extending the
entire length of the spine and
bound by a 3–ring plastic fixture.
The polyolefin plastic covers are of
a specific thickness; front cover is
0.019 inches (within normal
manufacturing tolerances) and rear
cover is 0.028 inches (within
normal manufacturing tolerances).
During construction, the polyester
covering is sewn to the front cover
face to face (outside to outside) so
that when the book is closed, the
stitching is concealed from the
outside. During construction, the
polyester cover is sewn to the back
cover with the outside of the
polyester spine cover to the inside
back cover. Both free ends (the ends
not sewn to the cover and back) are
stitched with a turned edge
construction. Each ring within the
fixture is comprised of a flexible
strap portion that snaps into a
stationary post which forms a
closed binding ring. The ring fixture
is riveted with six metal rivets and
sewn to the back plastic cover and
is specifically positioned on the
outside back cover.
The product must bear the valid
trademark FiveStar FlexTM (products
found to be bearing an invalidly
licensed or used trademark are not
excluded from the scope). Merchandise
subject to this order is typically
imported under headings 4820.10.2020,

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
The HTSUS headings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the
scope of this order is dispositive.
Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind an
administrative review with respect to a
particular exporter or producer if the
Department concludes that during the
POR there were no entries, exports, or
sales of the subject merchandise by that
exporter or producer. As noted, on
November 13, 2008, Lian Li submitted
a letter certifying that it did not have
entries, exports or sales during the POR.
Therefore, the Department conducted a
CBP query, and requested that Lian Li
provide product samples of products
entered during the POR. Based on a
review of the product samples
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:01 Jul 22, 2009
Jkt 217001
submitted by Lian Li and the Customs
data, we preliminarily determined that
Lian Li did not export subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR, pursuant to 19 CFR
§ 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our
practice. See Notice of Intent to Rescind,
74 FR at 26840. The Department did not
receive comments from any interested
party on the Department’s intent to
rescind. Based on our analysis of the
evidence on the record, the Department
has determined that Lian Li is a non–
shipper for this review.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding this
review with respect to Lian Li. Only one
respondent, the Watanabe Group,
remains in this review. We intend to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of this
notice of rescission of administrative
review.
We are issuing this notice in
accordance with section 751 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

horseshoe crabs within the reserve. The
Director has also made a preliminary
determination that the activities
authorized under the EFP would be
consistent with the goals and objectives
of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission’s (Commission) Horseshoe
Crab Interstate Fisheries Management
Plan (FMP). However, further review
and consultation may be necessary
before a final determination is made to
issue the EFP. Therefore, NMFS

recommend that an EFP be issued that
would allow up to 3 commercial fishing
vessels to conduct fishing operations
that are otherwise restricted by the
regulations promulgated under the
Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative
Management Act (Atlantic Coastal Act).
The EFP would allow for an exemption
from the Carl N. Shuster Jr. Horseshoe
Crab Reserve (Reserve).
Regulations under the Atlantic
Coastal Act require publication of this
notification to provide interested parties
the opportunity to comment on
applications for proposed EFPs.
DATES: Written comments on this action
must be received on or before August 7,
2009.

On October 29, 2008, the Department initiated this review with
respect to both requested companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of
Administrative Review, 73 FR 64305 (October 29, 2008). On November 13,
2008, Lian Li submitted a letter certifying that it did not have any
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. The Department
conducted an internal U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data
query on November 13, 2008, to investigate Lian Li's claim, and found
that Lian Li had made shipments to the United States during the POR,
which were entered under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) numbers for subject merchandise. See Memorandum to File
from Joy Zhang titled ``Internal Customs Data Query,'' dated December
2, 2008. Therefore, on December 2, 2008, the Department issued a
questionnaire to Lian Li.
On January 9, Petitioner filed comments on Lian Li's no shipment
claim, asking the Department to request product samples from Lian Li.
On January 29, 2009, Lian Li submitted product samples of the
merchandise it exported to the United States during the POR, which Lian
Li claimed were non-subject merchandise. On March 4, 2009, counsel for
Petitioner inspected Lian Li's product samples. See Memorandum to the
File from Joy Zhang titled ``Inspecting the Product Samples by Counsel
for the Association of American School Paper Supplies,'' dated March 4,
2009.
On June 4, 2009, the Department published a notice extending the
deadline for the preliminary results from for 120 days to September 30,
2009. In this notice the Department also published its intent to
rescind this administrative review in part with respect to Lian Li
because the Department preliminarily determined that the product
samples submitted by Lian Li and the Customs data demonstrated that
Lian Li did not export subject merchandise to the United States during
the POR. See Certain Lined Paper Products From the People's Republic of

board, a spine strip, and cover wrap). Subject merchandise may or may
not contain any combination of a front cover, a rear cover, and/or
backing of any composition, regardless of the inclusion of images or
graphics on the cover, backing, or paper. Subject merchandise is within
the scope of this order whether or not the lined paper and/or cover are

excluded from the scope).
Zwipes\TM\: A notebook or notebook organizer made with a
blended polyolefin writing surface as the cover and pocket surfaces of
the notebook, suitable for writing using a specially-developed
permanent marker and erase system (known as a Zwipes\TM\ pen). This
system allows the marker portion to mark the writing surface with a
permanent ink. The eraser portion of the marker dispenses a solvent
capable of solubilizing the permanent ink allowing the ink to be
removed. The product must bear the valid trademark Zwipes\TM\ (products
found to be bearing an invalidly licensed or used trademark are not
excluded from the scope).
FiveStar[reg]Advance\TM\: A notebook or notebook organizer
bound by a continuous spiral, or helical, wire and with plastic front
and rear covers made of a blended polyolefin plastic material joined by
300 denier polyester, coated on the backside with PVC (poly vinyl
chloride) coating, and extending the entire length of the spiral or
helical wire. The polyolefin plastic covers are of specific thickness;
front cover is 0.019 inches (within normal manufacturing tolerances)
and rear cover is 0.028 inches (within normal manufacturing
tolerances). Integral with the stitching that attaches the polyester
spine covering, is captured both ends of a 1'' wide elastic fabric
band. This band is located 2-3/8'' from the top of the front plastic
cover and provides pen or pencil storage. Both ends of the spiral wire
are cut and then bent backwards to overlap with the previous coil but
specifically outside the coil diameter but inside the polyester
covering. During construction, the polyester covering is sewn to the
front and rear covers face to face (outside to outside) so that when
the book is closed, the stitching is concealed from the outside. Both
free ends (the ends not sewn to the cover and back) are stitched with a
turned edge construction. The flexible polyester material forms a
covering over the spiral wire to protect it and provide a comfortable
grip on the product. The product must bear the valid trademarks
FiveStar[reg]Advance\TM\ (products found to be bearing an invalidly
licensed or used trademark are not excluded from the scope).

manufacturing tolerances) and rear cover is 0.028 inches (within normal
manufacturing tolerances). During construction, the polyester covering
is sewn to the front cover face to face (outside to outside) so that
when the book is closed, the stitching is concealed from the outside.
During construction, the polyester cover is sewn to the back cover with
the outside of the polyester spine cover to the inside back cover. Both
free ends (the ends not sewn to the cover and back) are stitched with a
turned edge construction. Each ring within the fixture is comprised of
a flexible strap portion that snaps into a stationary post which forms

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an
administrative review with respect to a particular exporter or producer
if the Department concludes that during the POR there were no entries,
exports, or sales of the subject merchandise by that exporter or
producer. As noted, on November 13, 2008, Lian Li submitted a letter
certifying that it did not have entries, exports or sales during the
POR. Therefore, the Department conducted a CBP query, and requested
that Lian Li provide product samples of products entered during the
POR. Based on a review of the product samples submitted by Lian Li and
the Customs data, we preliminarily determined that Lian Li did not
export subject merchandise to the United States during the POR,
pursuant to 19 CFR Sec. 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our
practice. See Notice of Intent to Rescind, 74 FR at 26840. The
Department did not receive comments from any interested party on the
Department's intent to rescind. Based on our analysis of the evidence
on the record, the Department has determined that Lian Li is a non-
shipper for this review.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we are
rescinding this review with respect to Lian Li. Only one respondent,
the Watanabe Group, remains in this review. We intend to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
this notice of rescission of administrative review.
We are issuing this notice in accordance with section 751 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 16, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary For Antidumping and Countervailing
