SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) is rescinding the 2011–

from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’) because Appleton Papers Inc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On November 5, 2012, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on lightweight
thermal paper from the PRC.1 The
period of review (‘‘POR’’) is November
1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. On
November 30, 2012, the Department
received a timely request from
Petitioner to conduct an administrative
review of Shanghai Hanhong Paper Co.,

Ltd. and Hanhong International Limited;
Guangdong Guanhao High-Tech Co.,
Ltd.; Henan Province Jianghe Paper Co.,
Ltd., Jianghe Paper Co., Ltd., and JHT
Paper; New Pride Co., Ltd.; and
Shenzhen Taizhou Industrial
Development Co., Ltd. In this case, there
were no other requests for an
administrative review by any other
party. Pursuant to this request, the
Department initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on lightweight thermal paper from the
PRC for the POR.2 On April 1, 2013,
Petitioner withdrew its request for
review for all of the aforementioned
parties for which it had made a review
request.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
review includes certain lightweight
thermal paper, which is thermal paper
with a basis weight of 70 grams per
square meter (g/m2) (with a tolerance of
± 4.0 g/m2) or less; irrespective of
dimensions; 3 with or without a base
coat 4 on one or both sides; with thermal
active coating(s) 5 on one or both sides
that is a mixture of the dye and the
developer that react and form an image
when heat is applied; with or without
a top coat; 6 and without an adhesive
backing. Certain lightweight thermal
paper is typically (but not exclusively)
used in point-of-sale applications such
as ATM receipts, credit card receipts,
gas pump receipts, and retail store
receipts. The merchandise subject to
this review may be classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under
subheadings 3703.10.60, 4811.59.20,
4811.90.8040, 4811.90.9090, 4820.10.20,
4823.40.00, 4811.90.8030, 4811.90.8050,

2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 77017
(December 31, 2012).
3 Lightweight thermal paper is typically produced
in jumbo rolls that are slit to the specifications of
the converting equipment and then converted into
finished slit rolls. Both jumbo and converted rolls
(as well as lightweight thermal paper in any other
form, presentation, or dimension) are covered by
the scope of these orders.
4 A base coat, when applied, is typically made of
clay and/or latex and like materials and is intended
to cover the rough surface of the paper substrate
and to provide insulating value.
5 A thermal active coating is typically made of
sensitizer, dye, and co-reactant.
6 A top coat, when applied, is typically made of
polyvinyl acetone, polyvinyl alcohol, and/or like
materials and is intended to provide environmental
protection, an improved surface for press printing,
and/or wear protection for the thermal print head.

Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the party

The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)

appropriate entries of lightweight
thermal paper from the PRC during the
POR 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)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of this notice in the Federal

This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers 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 the POR.
This notice also serves as a reminder

and 4811.90.8040 (for ‘‘other’’ including lightweight
thermal paper). HTSUS subheading 4811.90.9000
was a classification for lightweight thermal paper
until July 1, 2005. Effective that date, subheading
4811.90.9000 was replaced with 4811.90.9010 (for
tissue paper, a non-subject product) and
4811.90.9090 (for ‘‘other,’’ including lightweight
thermal paper).
8 As of January 1, 2009, the International Trade
Commission deleted HTSUS subheadings
4811.90.8040 and 4811.90.9090 and added HTSUS
subheadings 4811.90.8030, 4811.90.8050,
4811.90.9030, and 4811.90.9050 to the HTSUS

2013, the ITC notified the Department of
its final determination pursuant to
section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), that an
industry in the United States is
threatened with material injury by
reason of imports of xanthan gum from
the PRC.2
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers dry
xanthan gum, whether or not coated or
blended with other products. Further,
xanthan gum is included in this order
regardless of physical form, including,
but not limited to, solutions, slurries,
dry powders of any particle size, or
unground fiber.
Xanthan gum that has been blended
with other product(s) is included in this
scope when the resulting mix contains
15 percent or more of xanthan gum by
dry weight. Other products with which
xanthan gum may be blended include,
but are not limited to, sugars, minerals,
and salts.
Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide
produced by aerobic fermentation of
Xanthomonas campestris. The chemical
structure of the repeating
pentasaccharide monomer unit consists
of a backbone of two P–1,4-D-Glucose
monosaccharide units, the second with
a trisaccharide side chain consisting of
P-D-Mannose-(1,4)- P-DGlucuronic acid(1,2)-a-D-Mannose monosaccharide
units. The terminal mannose may be
pyruvylated and the internal mannose
unit may be acetylated.
