SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
Background
On October 1, 2015, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the CVD
Order 1 on coated paper from the PRC
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On
October 15, 2015, the Department
received a notice of intent to participate
in the review on behalf of Verso
Corporation (Verso), S.D. Warren
Company d/b/a Sappi North America
(Sappi), Appleton Coated LLC
(Appleton), and the United Steel, Paper
and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
Energy, Allied Industrial and Service
Workers International Union, AFL–CIO,
CLC (USW) (collectively, the
petitioners) within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1).
Verso, Sappi, and Appleton claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, as domestic
producers of the domestic like product.
The USW claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(D) of the Act
as a certified union or recognized union
or group of workers which is
representative of an industry engaged in
the manufacture, production, or
wholesale in the United States of a
domestic like product.
The Department received adequate
substantive responses collectively from
the domestic industry within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did
not receive a substantive response from
the Government of the PRC or any
respondent interested party to the
proceeding. Because the Department
received no response from the
respondent interested parties, the
Department conducted an expedited
review of this CVD Order, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
As explained in the memorandum
from the Acting Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department has exercised its discretion
to toll all administrative deadlines due
to the recent closure of the Federal
Government. All deadlines in this
segment of the proceeding have been
extended by four business days. The
revised deadline for the final results of
this expedited sunset review is now
March 4, 2016.3
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain coated paper from the People’s
Republic of China. The product is
currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) numbers
4810.14.11, 4810.14.1900, 4810.14.2010,
