held that the Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) was required by law
to instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to liquidate all
unliquidated entries of hard red spring
wheat from Canada without regard to
antidumping and countervailing duties.
The CAFC’s holding is now final and
conclusive. Consistent with that
holding, we are amending the
revocation of these orders and
instructing CBP to liquidate all
unliquidated entries pursuant to the
CAFC decision in Wheat Board (CAFC).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Canadian Wheat Board and
Canadian government challenged the
International Trade Commission’s
(‘‘ITC’’) final determination that the
United States industry was being
materially injured by reason of imports
from Canada of hard red spring wheat
before a North American Free Trade
Agreement (‘‘NAFTA’’) Panel. As a
result of that litigation, the ITC issued
a remand redetermination that
concluded that a domestic industry was
not materially injured or threatened
with material injury by reasons of
imports of Canadian hard red spring
wheat, and the NAFTA Panel affirmed
that remand redetermination. North
American Free-Trade Agreement,
Article 1904 NAFTA Panel Reviews;
Completion of Panel Review, 71 FR 4896
(Jan. 30, 2006). The Department
therefore revoked the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders of hard red
spring wheat from Canada, effective
January 2, 2006. See Antidumping Duty
Investigation and Countervailing Duty
Investigation of Hard Red Spring Wheat
from Canada: Notice of Panel Decision,
Revocation of Countervailing and
Antidumping Duty Orders and
Termination of Suspension of
Liquidation, 71 FR 8275 (Feb. 16, 2006).
The Department’s revocation stated,
however, that the revocation did not
‘‘affect the liquidation of entries made
prior to January 2, 2006’’ See Id.
The Canadian Wheat Board and
Canadian government challenged the
Department’s determination that its
revocation did not apply to pre-January
2, 2006, entries at the Court of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:12 Jul 25, 2011
Jkt 223001
International Trade (‘‘CIT’’). On
September 1, 2009, the CIT held that the
Department must direct CBP to liquidate
all pre-January 2, 2006, entries without
regard to antidumping and
countervailing duties. See Canadian
Wheat Board v. United States, 637 F.
Supp. 2d 1329 (Sept. 1, 2009). The
Department appealed the CIT’s holding
and, on April 19, 2011, in Wheat Board
(CAFC), the CAFC reached the same
conclusion as the CIT. See Wheat Board
(CAFC), 2010–1083 at *18.
Accordingly, the Department is now
amending its February 16, 2006,
revocation of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders covering
hard red spring wheat from Canada, and
will instruct CBP to: (1) Release any
cash deposits or bonds, and proceed
with liquidation of all unliquidated
entries of hard red spring wheat from
Canada without regard to antidumping
duties and countervailing duties; and (2)
refund, with interest, antidumping and
countervailing duty cash deposits
collected pursuant to the revoked
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders.

Paper Clips From the People’s
Republic of China: Continuation of the
Antidumping Duty Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) and the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on paper clips from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, the
Department is publishing a notice of
continuation of the antidumping duty
order.
DATES: Effective Date: July 26, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 3, 2011, the Department
initiated the third sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on paper clips
from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘Act’’). See Initiation of Five-Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 76 FR 89 (January 3,
2011).
As a result of its review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on paper
clips from the PRC would likely lead to
a continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail should the order be revoked. See
Paper Clips From the People’s Republic
of China: Final Results of Expedited
Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty
Order, 76 FR 26242 (May 6, 2011). On
June 29, 2011, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on paper clips from the PRC
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See USITC
Publication 4242 (July 2011), Paper
Clips from China: Investigation No.
731–TA–663 (Third Review), and Paper
Clips from China, 76 FR 42730 (July 19,
2011).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain paper clips, wholly of wire of
base metal, whether or not galvanized,
whether or not plated with nickel or

0.075 inches (0.64 to 1.91 millimeters),
regardless of physical configuration,
except as specifically excluded. The
products subject to the order may have
a rectangular or ring-like shape and

of the order are plastic and vinyl

Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of these determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order on paper clips would likely lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, pursuant
to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the
Department hereby orders the
continuation of the antidumping order
on paper clips from the PRC. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect antidumping duty
cash deposits at the rates in effect at the
time of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise. The effective date of the
continuation of the order will be the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of continuation.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act,
the Department intends to initiate the
next five-year review of the order not
later than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation. This five-year (sunset)
review and this notice are in accordance
with section 751(c) of the Act and
published pursuant to section 777(i)(1)
of the Act.
