International Trade Commission (ITC)
in their five year (sunset) reviews that
revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) order on certain tissue paper
products (tissue paper) 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 AD order
on tissue paper from the PRC.
DATES: Effective July 12, 2016.

On July 5, 2016, the ITC published its
determination, pursuant to sections
751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that
revocation of the AD order on tissue
paper 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.5
Scope of the Order
The tissue paper products covered by
the order are cut-to-length sheets of
tissue paper having a basis weight not
exceeding 29 grams per square meter.

Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the AD order on tissue
paper from the PRC would likely lead to
a continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and of 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 AD order on tissue
paper from the PRC. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
collect AD 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.

The Department intends to issue the
final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of
our analysis of all issues raised in the
case briefs, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results
in the Federal Register, unless
extended, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this
review, the Department shall determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.7 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we are calculating
importer- (or customer-) specific
assessment rates for the merchandise
subject to this review. For any
individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), the Department will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of sales.8 We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific

Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales database submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. Additionally, if the
Department determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.9

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the exporters listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the final results of this review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
a zero cash deposit rate will be required
for that company); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing producer/
exporter-specific combination rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be eligible for a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate
of 285.63 percent; 10 and (4) for all nonPRC exporters of subject merchandise
which have not received their own rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, which will include the results of our analysis
of all issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication
of these preliminary results in the Federal Register, unless extended,
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this review, the Department shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\7\ The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating
importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise
subject to this review. For any individually examined respondent whose
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), the Department will calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total entered
value of sales.\8\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-
specific
[[Page 45130]]
assessment rate is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database
submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review, the
Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide
rate. Additionally, if the Department determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that exporter's case number will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\9\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the
final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing producer/exporter-specific combination rate
published for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of
285.63 percent; \10\ and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that supplied
that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 5, 2016.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
