Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones (FTZ) Board

zone and reorganize under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 01/
12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09).
The ASF is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of
general–purpose zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new ‘‘usage–driven’’ FTZ
sites for operators/users located within
a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context
of the Board’s standard 2,000–acre
activation limit for a general–purpose
zone project. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

SUMMARY: In response to a request from
Seaman Paper Company of
Massachusetts, Inc. (the petitioner), the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) is initiating an anti–
circumvention inquiry to determine
whether certain imports of tissue paper
from Vietnam are circumventing the
antidumping duty order on certain
tissue paper products (tissue paper)
from the People’s Republic of China
(PRC). See Notice of Amended Final
Determination of Sales at Less than Fair
Value and Antidumping Duty Order:
Certain Tissue Paper Products from the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 18, 2010, the petitioner
submitted a letter requesting that the
Department initiate and conduct an
anti–circumvention inquiry, pursuant to
section 781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.225(h), to determine whether
imports of tissue paper from Vietnam
which the petitioner alleges Max
Fortune (Vietnam) Paper Products
Company Limited (Max Fortune
Vietnam) made from jumbo rolls and cut
sheets of tissue paper produced in the
PRC are circumventing the antidumping
duty order on tissue paper from the
PRC. Specifically, the petitioner alleges
that Max Fortune Vietnam is importing
into Vietnam PRC–produced jumbo rolls
and cut sheets of tissue paper for
completion or assembly into
merchandise of the same class or kind
as that covered by the antidumping duty
order on tissue paper from the PRC prior
to exporting that merchandise to the
United States; and that such activity on
the part of Max Fortune Vietnam
constitutes circumvention of the PRC
tissue paper order.
On February 24, 2010, the Department
requested that the petitioner provide
additional information pertinent to its
anti–circumvention inquiry request. See
Letter to Seaman Paper Company of
Massachusetts, Inc., dated February 24,
2010. The petitioner provided the
requested information on March 1,
2010.
On March 10, 2010, Department
officials spoke with the foreign market
researcher who provided certain
information contained in the anti–
circumvention inquiry request. See
memorandum to the file entitled,
‘‘Telephone Conversation with Foreign
Market Researcher,’’ dated March 17,
2010.
On March 16, 2010, Max Fortune
Vietnam responded to the petitioner’s
circumvention allegation. In its
submission, Max Fortune Vietnam
asserts, among other things, that it has
never imported raw tissue paper from
the PRC, and that its tissue paper
production and processing operations in
Vietnam are significant. Therefore, Max
Fortune Vietnam requests that the
Department reject the petitioner’s
request to initiate an anti–
circumvention inquiry with respect to
its operations.
