Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses from
the People’s Republic of China: Final

Amendment to the Final Determination
On September 27, 2010, the
Department published its affirmative
final determination in this proceeding.
See Final Determination. On September
28, 2010, Gold East Paper (Jiangsu) Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘GE’’), Gold Huasheng Paper Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘GHS’’), Gold East (Hong Kong)
Trading Co., Ltd. (‘‘GEHK’’), Ningbo
Zhonghua Paper Co., Ltd. (‘‘NBZH’’),
Ningbo Asia Pulp and Paper Co., Ltd.
(‘‘NAPP’’), collectively referred to as the
‘‘GE Group,’’ or ‘‘APP-China,’’ a
mandatory respondent, and Petitioners 1
submitted ministerial error allegations
and requested, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224, that the Department correct the
alleged ministerial errors in the
calculation of APP-China’s dumping
margin. Petitioners submitted rebuttal
comments on October 1, 2010. No other
interested party submitted ministerial
error allegations or rebuttal comments.
After analyzing all interested party
comments and rebuttals, we have
determined, in accordance with section
735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
that we made ministerial errors in our
calculations for the Final Determination
with respect to APP-China. For a
detailed discussion of these ministerial
errors, as well as the Department’s
analysis of the errors and allegations,
see the Memorandum to the File,
‘‘Ministerial Error Memorandum,

Additionally, in the Final
Determination, we determined that
Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings
Ltd. qualified for a separate rate. See
Final Determination. Because the cash
deposit rate for Shandong Chenming
Paper Holdings Ltd. was based on the
calculated rate of the mandatory
respondent, APP-China, and the margin
for APP-China has changed since the
Final Determination, the separate rate
has changed as well. See Ministerial
Error Memo. In addition, one of the
ministerial errors affected the
calculation of the labor rate, which was
used in the calculation of the PRC-wide
rate. Therefore, the PRC-wide rate has
also changed since the Final
Determination. See Ministerial Error

Antidumping Duty Order
On November 10, 2010, in accordance
with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination in this investigation. In
its determination, the ITC found a threat
of material injury. According 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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. In addition, section
736(b)(2) of the Act requires U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘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.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of coated paper from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after May 6,
2010,2 and before the date of
publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.

Suspension of liquidation will continue
starting the date of publication of the
ITC’s final determination in the Federal
Register. See the Continuation of
Suspension of Liquidation section
below.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order includes certain coated paper and
paperboard 3 in sheets suitable for high
quality print graphics using sheet-fed
presses; coated on one or both sides
with kaolin (china or other clay),
calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide,
and/or other inorganic substances; with
or without a binder; having a GE
brightness level of 80 or higher; 4
weighing not more than 340 grams per
square meter; whether gloss grade, satin
grade, matte grade, dull grade, or any
other grade of finish; whether or not
surface-colored, surface-decorated,
printed (except as described below),
embossed, or perforated; and
irrespective of dimensions (‘‘Certain
Coated Paper’’).
Certain Coated Paper includes (a)
coated free sheet paper and paperboard
that meets this scope definition; (b)
coated groundwood paper and
paperboard produced from bleached
chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp
3 ‘‘ ‘Paperboard’
refers to Certain Coated Paper that
is heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper
which otherwise meets the product description. In
the context of Certain Coated Paper, paperboard
typically is referred to as ‘cover,’ to distinguish it
from ‘text.’ ’’
4 One of the key measurements of any grade of
paper is brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter
the paper the better the contrast between the paper
and the ink. Brightness is measured using a GE
Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of
light off of a grade of paper. One is the lowest
reflection, or what would be given to a totally black
grade, and 100 is the brightest measured grade.

(‘‘BCTMP’’) that meets this scope
definition; and (c) any other coated
paper and paperboard that meets this
scope definition.
Certain Coated Paper is typically (but
not exclusively) used for printing multicolored graphics for catalogues, books,
magazines, envelopes, labels and wraps,
greeting cards, and other commercial
printing applications requiring high
quality print graphics.
Specifically excluded from the scope
are imports of paper and paperboard
printed with final content printed text
or graphics.
As of 2009, imports of the subject
merchandise are provided for under the
following categories of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’): 4810.14.11, 4810.14.1900,
4810.14.2010, 4810.14.2090,
4810.14.5000, 4810.14.6000, 4810.14.70,

4810.39 and 4810.92. While HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
investigations is dispositive.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to suspend liquidation on all
entries of subject merchandise from the
PRC effective the date of publication of
the ITC final determination in the
Federal Register. We will also instruct
CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the estimated amount by which the
normal value exceeds the U.S. price as
E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM
17NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 221 / Wednesday, November 17, 2010 / Notices
indicated in the chart above. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
determination, CBP will require, at the
same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
estimated weighted-average
antidumping duty margins as discussed
above. See section 736(a)(3) of the Act.
The PRC-wide rate applies to all
exporters of subject merchandise not
specifically listed.
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, the Department will also direct CBP
to assess antidumping duties on all
unliquidated entries of coated paper
from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date on which the ITC
published its notice of final
determination of threat of material
injury in the Federal Register.
This notice constitutes the
antidumping duty order with respect to
coated paper from the PRC pursuant to
section 736(a) of the Act. Interested
parties may contact the Department’s
Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the
main Commerce building, for copies of
an updated list of antidumping duty
orders currently in effect.

Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping
Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective Date: November 17, 2010.
SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission
(``ITC''), the Department is issuing an antidumping duty order on
certain coated paper suitable for high-quality print graphics using
sheet-fed presses (``coated paper'') from the People's Republic of
China (``PRC''). On November 10, 2010, the ITC notified the Department
of its affirmative determination of threat of material injury to a U.S.
industry. See Certain Coated Paper Suitable for High-Quality Print
Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses from China (Investigation No. 731-TA-
1159 (Final), USITC Publication 4192 (November 2010). In addition, the
Department is amending its final determination as a result of
ministerial errors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with sections 735(d) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), the
Department published the final determination of sales at less than fair
value in the antidumping investigation of coated paper from the PRC.
See Certain Coated Paper Suitable for High-Quality Print Graphics Using
Sheet-Fed Presses from the People's Republic of China: Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 75 FR 59217 (September
27, 2010) (``Final Determination'').
Amendment to the Final Determination
On September 27, 2010, the Department published its affirmative
final determination in this proceeding. See Final Determination. On
September 28, 2010, Gold East Paper (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (``GE''), Gold
Huasheng Paper Co., Ltd. (``GHS''), Gold East (Hong Kong) Trading Co.,
Ltd. (``GEHK''), Ningbo Zhonghua Paper Co., Ltd. (``NBZH''), Ningbo
Asia Pulp and Paper Co., Ltd. (``NAPP''), collectively referred to as
the ``GE Group,'' or ``APP-China,'' a mandatory respondent, and
Petitioners \1\ submitted ministerial error allegations and requested,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224, that the Department correct the alleged
ministerial errors in the calculation of APP-China's dumping margin.
Petitioners submitted rebuttal comments on October 1, 2010. No other
interested party submitted ministerial error allegations or rebuttal
comments.

\1\ APP-China and Appleton Coated LLC, NewPage Corporation, S.D.
Warren Company d/b/a Sappi Fine Paper North America, and United
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers International Union are the
petitioners (collectively ``Petitioners'') in this investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After analyzing all interested party comments and rebuttals, we
have determined, in accordance with section 735(e) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.224(e), that we made ministerial errors in our calculations for
the Final Determination with respect to APP-China. For a detailed
discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the Department's
analysis of the errors and allegations, see the Memorandum to the File,
``Ministerial Error Memorandum, Certain Coated Paper Suitable for High-
Quality Print Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses from the People's
Republic of
[[Page 70204]]
China, Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value,'' dated
October 27, 2010 (``Ministerial Error Memo'').
Additionally, in the Final Determination, we determined that
Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Ltd. qualified for a separate rate.
See Final Determination. Because the cash deposit rate for Shandong
Chenming Paper Holdings Ltd. was based on the calculated rate of the
mandatory respondent, APP-China, and the margin for APP-China has
changed since the Final Determination, the separate rate has changed as
well. See Ministerial Error Memo. In addition, one of the ministerial
errors affected the calculation of the labor rate, which was used in
the calculation of the PRC-wide rate. Therefore, the PRC-wide rate has
also changed since the Final Determination. See Ministerial Error Memo.

Antidumping Duty Order
On November 10, 2010, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act,
the ITC notified the Department of its final determination in this
investigation. In its determination, the ITC found a threat of material
injury. According 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. In addition,
section 736(b)(2) of the Act requires U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``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.
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of coated paper from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 6, 2010,\2\ and before
the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal
Register. Suspension of liquidation will continue starting the date of
publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register.
See the Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation section below.

Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses From the People's Republic of
China: Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 75 FR 24892 (May

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order includes certain coated paper
and paperboard \3\ in sheets suitable for high quality print graphics
using sheet-fed presses; coated on one or both sides with kaolin (china
or other clay), calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and/or other
inorganic substances; with or without a binder; having a GE brightness
level of 80 or higher; \4\ weighing not more than 340 grams per square
meter; whether gloss grade, satin grade, matte grade, dull grade, or
any other grade of finish; whether or not surface-colored, surface-
decorated, printed (except as described below), embossed, or
perforated; and irrespective of dimensions (``Certain Coated Paper'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ `` `Paperboard' refers to Certain Coated Paper that is
heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper which otherwise
meets the product description. In the context of Certain Coated
Paper, paperboard typically is referred to as `cover,' to
distinguish it from `text.' ''
\4\ One of the key measurements of any grade of paper is
brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter the paper the better
the contrast between the paper and the ink. Brightness is measured
using a GE Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of light
off of a grade of paper. One is the lowest reflection, or what would
be given to a totally black grade, and 100 is the brightest measured
grade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain Coated Paper includes (a) coated free sheet paper and
paperboard that meets this scope definition; (b) coated groundwood
paper and paperboard produced from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical
pulp (``BCTMP'') that meets this scope definition; and (c) any other
coated paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition.
Certain Coated Paper is typically (but not exclusively) used for
printing multi-colored graphics for catalogues, books, magazines,
envelopes, labels and wraps, greeting cards, and other commercial
printing applications requiring high quality print graphics.
Specifically excluded from the scope are imports of paper and
paperboard printed with final content printed text or graphics.
As of 2009, imports of the subject merchandise are provided for
under the following categories of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (``HTSUS''): 4810.14.11, 4810.14.1900, 4810.14.2010,
4810.14.2090, 4810.14.5000, 4810.14.6000, 4810.14.70, 4810.19.1100,

4810.22.6000, 4810.22.70, 4810.29.1000, 4810.29.5000, 4810.29.6000,
4810.29.70, 4810.32, 4810.39 and 4810.92. While HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the investigations is dispositive.
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will
instruct CBP to suspend liquidation on all entries of subject
merchandise from the PRC effective the date of publication of the ITC
final determination in the Federal Register. We will also instruct CBP
to require cash deposits equal to the estimated amount by which the
normal value exceeds the U.S. price as
[[Page 70205]]
indicated in the chart above. These instructions suspending liquidation
will remain in effect until further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's
final affirmative determination, CBP will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average
antidumping duty margins as discussed above. See section 736(a)(3) of
the Act. The PRC-wide rate applies to all exporters of subject
merchandise not specifically listed.
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, the Department will also
direct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all unliquidated entries of
coated paper from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date on which the ITC published its notice
of final determination of threat of material injury in the Federal
Register.
This notice constitutes the antidumping duty order with respect to
coated paper from the PRC pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act.
Interested parties may contact the Department's Central Records Unit,
Room 7046 of the main Commerce building, for copies of an updated list
of antidumping duty orders currently in effect.
This order is published in accordance with section 736(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.211.
Dated: November 12, 2010.
