SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 29, 1995, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on glycine from the PRC. See
Antidumping Duty Order: Glycine From
the People’s Republic of China, 60 FR
16116 (March 29, 1995). On October 1,
2010, the Department initiated the third
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on glycine from the PRC pursuant
to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). See
Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Review, 75 FR 60731 (October 1, 2010).
As a result of this sunset review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on
glycine from the PRC would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and, therefore, notified the
USITC of the magnitude of the margins
likely to prevail should the order be
revoked. See Notice of Final Results of
Expedited Sunset Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order: Glycine From
the People’s Republic of China, 76 FR
7150 (February 9, 2011) and
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
On August 30, 2011, the USITC
determined, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on glycine from
the PRC would be likely to lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United Sates
within a reasonably foreseeable time.
See Glycine from China, 76 FR 55109
(September 6, 2011), and USITC
Publication 4255 (August 2011), titled
Glycine from China: Investigation No.
731–TA–718 (Third Review).

2922.49.4020 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise under the order is
dispositive.1
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the USITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order on glycine would be likely to lead
to 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 duty
order on glycine 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 this 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 sunset review of this 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.
Dated: September 12, 2011.

2009, through August 31, 2010. See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation: Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 75 FR 53635
(September 1, 2010). On September 30,
2010, we received a request from
petitioner 1 to review the following four
companies: Shanghai Lian Li Paper
Products Co., Ltd. (‘‘Lian Li’’), Hwa Fuh
Plastics Co., Ltd./Li Teng Plastics
(Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (‘‘Hwa Fuh/Li

with respect to Lian Li, Leo/Denmax,
and the Watanabe Group. See Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 75 FR
66349 (October 28, 2010) (‘‘Initiation

On June 13, 2011, we preliminarily
rescinded this review with respect to
Leo/Denmax, Lian Li, and the Watanabe
Group based on evidence on the record
indicating that Leo/Denmax, Lian Li,
and the Watanabe Group had no
shipments of subject merchandise
which entered the United States during
the period September 1, 2009, through

Li Teng in prior segments. The petitioner did not
provide any new information as to Hwa Fuh/Li
Teng’s location in its review request letter.
Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii),
the Department did not accept a request for an
administrative review of Hwa Fuh/Li Teng.

size of the unfolded paper). However,
for measurement purposes, pages with
tapered or rounded edges shall be
measured at their longest and widest

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 speciallydeveloped 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

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 23⁄8″ 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).

order is dispositive.
Period of Review (‘‘POR’’)
The POR is September 1, 2009,
through August 31, 2010.
Final Rescission of Review
Because there is no information on
the record which indicates that the
Watanabe Group, Lian Li, and Leo/
Denmax made shipments of subject
merchandise which entered the United
States during the POR, and because we
did not receive any comments on our
Preliminary Rescission, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) and
consistent with our practice, we are
rescinding this review of the
antidumping duty order on certain lined
paper products from the PRC for the
period of September 1, 2009, through
August 31, 2010. The cash deposit rate
for the Watanabe Group, Lian Li, and
Leo/Denmax will continue to be the rate
established in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding.
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties
shall be assessed at rates equal to the
PO 00000
Frm 00007

cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(2). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded, as of the publication
date of this notice, of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

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
[[Page 57953]]
to 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[supreg]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[supreg] AdvanceTM (products found to be bearing an
invalidly licensed or used trademark are not excluded from the scope).
FiveStar Flex\TM\: 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).

Period of Review (``POR'')
The POR is September 1, 2009, through August 31, 2010.
Final Rescission of Review
Because there is no information on the record which indicates that
the Watanabe Group, Lian Li, and Leo/Denmax made shipments of subject
merchandise which entered the United States during the POR, and because
we did not receive any comments on our Preliminary Rescission, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) and consistent with our practice,
we are rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on certain
lined paper products from the PRC for the period of September 1, 2009,
through August 31, 2010. The cash deposit rate for the Watanabe Group,
Lian Li, and Leo/Denmax will continue to be the rate established in the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding.
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(2). The Department will issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice,
of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure
to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's
presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: September 12, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
