Background
The review covers PT Anugerah

APRIL Fine Paper Macao Offshore
Limited, PT Asia Pacific Rayon, PT
Sateri Viscose International, A P Fine
Paper Trading (Hong Kong) Limited,
and APRIL International Enterprise Pte.

On November 8, 2019, Commerce
published the preliminary results of this
administrative review in the Federal
Register.2 Although we invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results,3 we received no
comments. Accordingly, no decision
memorandum accompanies this Federal
Register notice.4
Scope of the Order
The merchandise under review
includes uncoated paper in sheet form;
weighing at least 40 grams per square
meter but not more than 150 grams per
square meter; that either is a white
paper with a GE brightness level 5 of 85
or higher or is a colored paper; whether
or not surface-decorated, printed (except
as described below), embossed,
perforated, or punched; irrespective of
the smoothness of the surface; and
irrespective of dimensions (Certain
Uncoated Paper). Certain Uncoated
Paper includes (a) uncoated free sheet
paper that meets this scope definition;
(b) uncoated ground wood paper
produced from bleached chemi-thermo1 See Certain Uncoated Paper from Indonesia:

5 One of the key measurements of any grade of
paper is brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter
the paper the better the contrast between the paper
and the ink. Brightness is measured using a GE
Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of
light off a grade of paper. One is the lowest
reflection, or what would be given to a totally black
grade, and 100 is the brightest measured grade.
‘‘Colored paper’’ as used in this scope definition
means a paper with a hue other than white that
reflects one of the primary colors of magenta,
yellow, and cyan (red, yellow, and blue) or a
combination of such primary colors.

mechanical pulp (BCTMP) that meets
this scope definition; and (c) any other
uncoated paper that meets this scope
definition regardless of the type of pulp
used to produce the paper.
Specifically excluded from the scope
are: (1) Paper printed with final content
of printed text or graphics and (2) lined
paper products, typically school
supplies, composed of paper that
incorporates straight horizontal and/or
vertical lines that would make the paper
unsuitable for copying or printing
purposes. For purposes of this scope
definition, paper shall be considered
‘‘printed with final content’’ where at
least one side of the sheet has printed
text and/or graphics that cover at least
five percent of the surface area of the
entire sheet.
On September 1, 2017, Commerce
determined that that imports of
uncoated paper with a GE brightness of
83 +/¥ 1% (83 Bright paper), otherwise
meeting the description of in-scope
merchandise, constitute merchandise
‘‘altered in form or appearance in minor
respects’’ from in-scope merchandise
that are subject to this order.6
Imports of the subject merchandise
are provided for under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) categories 4802.56.1000,
4802.56.2000, 4802.56.3000,

4802.57.3000, and 4802.57.4000. Some
imports of subject merchandise may
also be classified under 4802.62.1000,

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request for

the Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is initiating CCRs of the
antidumping duty (AD) and
countervailing duty (CVD) orders on
certain passenger vehicle and light truck
tires (passenger tires) from the People’s
Republic of China (China). We have
preliminarily determined that: Sailun
Group Co., Ltd. (Sailun Group) is the
successor-in-interest to Sailun Jinyu
Group Co., Ltd. (Sailun Jinyu); Sailun
(Dongying) Tire Co., Ltd. (Sailun
Dongying) is the successor-in-interest to
Shandong Jinyu Industrial Co., Ltd.
(Shandong Jinyu); and Sailun Group
(Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (Sailun HK) is the
successor-in-interest to Sailun Jinyu
Group (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (Sailun
Jinyu HK). As a result, these entities
should be accorded the same treatment
previously accorded to this company
group. Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable January 29, 2020.

Background
On August 10, 2015, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
AD and CVD Orders on passenger tires
from China.1 During the AD

investigation of this proceeding,
Commerce selected Sailun Jinyu as a
mandatory respondent and found that
Sailun Jinyu, Shandong Jinyu, Sailun
Jinyu HK, as well as several other
companies were part of the Sailun Jinyu
Group and treated them as a single
entity for purposes of calculating the AD
margin.2 In the companion CVD case,
the Sailun Group has never been
selected as a mandatory respondent in
any of the proceedings and has received
the all-others CVD subsidy rate in the
investigation and subsequent
administrative reviews.3
On October 25, 2019, Sailun Jinyu
requested that Commerce conduct
expedited CCRs of the Orders to
determine that Sailun Group is the
successor-in-interest to Sailun Jinyu,
Sailun Dongying is the successor-ininterest to Shandong Jinyu, and Sailun
HK is the successor-in-interest to Sailun
Jinyu HK.4 Commerce continued to treat
the Sailun Jinyu Group as a single entity
through subsequent AD administrative
reviews.5 In its requests, Sailun Jinyu
addressed the factors Commerce
analyzes with respect to successor-ininterest determinations in the AD and
CVD context, and provided
documentation in support.6 Commerce
received no comments from interested
parties on Sailun Jinyu’s CCR requests.
On December 6, 2019, Commerce
extended the deadline to determine
whether to initiate the CCR by 45 days,
until January 23, 2020 7 in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.302(b). On December
10, 2019, Commerce requested
