AGENCY:
Background
The Department determines that
completion of the preliminary results of
this review within the statutory time
period is not practicable. The
Department requires more time to gather
and analyze surrogate country and value
information, review questionnaire
responses, and issue supplemental
questionnaires. Therefore, in accordance
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), we are
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of review by 120
days until April 29, 2012.1 The final
1 April
29, 2012, is a Sunday. Department practice
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend
or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the
next business day. See Notice of Clarification:

CLPP from the PRC.2 On June 30, 2011,
the Department received a request from
the Association of American School
Paper Suppliers (‘‘AASPS’’) 3 to conduct
a changed circumstances review for the
purpose of revoking, in part, the
antidumping duty order with respect to
FiveStar® AdvanceTM notebooks and
notebook organizers without PVC
coatings. AASPS claimed that producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
to which the order was issued no longer
wish to maintain the order. We did not
receive comments from any other party.
On August 17, 2011, we published in
the Federal Register a combined notice
of initiation and preliminary results of
changed circumstances review, and
intent to revoke, in part, the
antidumping duty on CLPP from the
PRC.4 We invited parties to comment
and received no comment.
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes
certain lined paper products, typically
school supplies (for purposes of this
scope definition, the actual use of or
labeling these products as school
supplies or non-school supplies is not a
defining characteristic) composed of or
including paper that incorporates
straight horizontal and/or vertical lines
on ten or more paper sheets (there shall
be no minimum page requirement for
looseleaf filler paper) including but not
limited to such products as single- and
multi-subject notebooks, composition
books, wireless notebooks, looseleaf or
glued filler paper, graph paper, and
laboratory notebooks, and with the
smaller dimension of the paper
measuring 6 inches to
15 inches (inclusive) and the larger

advertised, stated, or ‘‘tear-out’’ size),
and are measured as they appear in the
product (i.e., stitched and folded pages
in a notebook are measured by the size
of the page as it appears in the notebook
page, not the size of the unfolded
paper). However, for measurement

(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

products commonly known as ‘‘fine
business paper,’’ ‘‘parchment paper’’,
and ‘‘letterhead’’), whether or not
containing a lined header or decorative
lines;
• Stenographic pads (‘‘steno pads’’),
Gregg ruled (‘‘Gregg ruling’’ consists 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 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 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
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 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).

Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review, and Revocation
of the AD Order in Part
At the request of AASPS, and in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and
(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.216,
the Department determined to initiate a
changed circumstances review of the
AD order on CLPP from the PRC to
determine whether partial revocation of
the order is warranted with respect to
FiveStar® AdvanceTM notebooks and
notebook organizers without PVC
coatings.5 In addition, we determined
that expedited action was warranted
and, consistent with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(3)(ii), we combined the
notices of initiation and preliminary
results.6 Because AASPS, the petitioner
in the underlying investigation, made an
affirmative statement of no interest and
claimed that parties accounting for more
than 85 percent of production of the
domestic like product support the
partial revocation, we accepted their
claim and, in accordance with section
751(b) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(g)(1)(i), and absent any
evidence to the contrary, found that
substantially all of the producers of the
domestic like product expressed a lack
of interest in maintaining the order with
respect to FiveStar® AdvanceTM
notebooks and notebook organizers
without PVC coatings. Based on the
expression of no interest by companies
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
to which the CLPP Order pertains, we
preliminarily determined that the
domestic producers of the like product
have no interest in the continued
application of the AD order on CLPP
from the PRC to the merchandise that is
subject to this request and that partial
revocation of the order is appropriate.
Accordingly, we notified the public of
our intent to revoke, in part, the AD
order with respect to FiveStar®
AdvanceTM notebooks and notebook
organizers without PVC coatings.7 We
did not receive any comments from
parties objecting to the partial
revocation. Therefore, the Department is
partially revoking the AD order on CLPP
from the PRC with respect to FiveStar®
AdvanceTM notebooks and notebook
organizers without PVC coatings.
As we stated in our Intent to Revoke,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection to end the suspension
of liquidation for the merchandise
covered by the revocation on the
effective date of this notice of revocation
and to release any cash deposit or bond.
See 19 CFR 351.222(g)(4).
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.306. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
This changed circumstances review,
partial revocation of the AD order and
notice are in accordance with sections
751(b) and (d), 777(i), and 782(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 351.221, and
351.222.

person having information on foreign
government subsidy programs which
benefit articles of cheese subject to an
in-quota rate of duty to submit such
information in writing to the Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,

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 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[reg]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[reg]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 Flex\TM\
(products found to be bearing an invalidly licensed or used trademark
are not excluded from the scope).

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and Revocation of the AD
Order in Part
At the request of AASPS, and in accordance with sections 751(b)(1)
and (d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), and 19 CFR
351.216, the Department determined to initiate a changed circumstances
review of the AD order on CLPP from the PRC to determine whether
partial revocation of the order is warranted with respect to
FiveStar[reg] Advance\TM\ notebooks and notebook organizers without PVC
coatings.\5\ In addition, we determined that expedited action was
warranted and, consistent with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii), we combined
the notices of initiation and preliminary results.\6\ Because AASPS,
the petitioner in the underlying investigation, made an affirmative
statement of no interest and claimed that parties accounting for more
than 85 percent of production of the domestic like product support the
partial revocation, we accepted their claim and, in accordance with
section 751(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i), and absent any
evidence to the contrary, found that substantially all of the producers
of the domestic like product expressed a lack of interest in
maintaining the order with respect to FiveStar[reg] Advance\TM\
notebooks and notebook organizers without PVC coatings. Based on the
expression of no interest by companies accounting for substantially all
of the production of the domestic like product to which the CLPP Order
pertains, we preliminarily determined that the domestic producers of
the like product have no interest in the continued application of the
AD order on CLPP from the PRC to the merchandise that is subject to
this request and that partial revocation of the order is appropriate.
Accordingly, we notified the public of our intent to revoke, in part,
the AD order with respect to FiveStar[reg] Advance\TM\ notebooks and
notebook organizers without PVC coatings.\7\ We did not receive any
comments from parties objecting to the partial revocation. Therefore,
the Department is partially revoking the AD order on CLPP from the PRC
with respect to FiveStar[reg] Advance\TM\ notebooks and notebook
organizers without PVC coatings.

As we stated in our Intent to Revoke, we will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to end the suspension of liquidation for the
merchandise covered by the revocation on the effective date of this
notice of revocation and to release any cash deposit or bond. See 19
CFR 351.222(g)(4).
This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.306. Timely written notification of
the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
This changed circumstances review, partial revocation of the AD
order and notice are in accordance with sections 751(b) and (d),
777(i), and 782(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 351.221, and 351.222.
