active coating(s) 8 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; 9 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 order
may be classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) under subheadings

Although HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of this order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum,12 which is dated
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
6 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 LWTP in any other form, presentation,
or dimension) are covered by the scope of this
order.
7 A base coat, when applied is typically made of
clay and/or latex like materials and is intended to
cover the rough surface of the paper substrate and
to provide insulating value.
8 A thermal active coating is typically made of
sensitizer, dye, and co-reactant.
9 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.
10 HTSUS subheading 4811.90.8000 was a
classification used for lightweight thermal paper
until January 1, 2007. Effective that date,
subheading 4811.90.8000 was replaced with
4811.90.8020 (for gift wrap, anon-subject product)
and 4811.90.8040 (for ‘‘other’’ including lightweight
thermal paper). HTSUS subheading 4811.90.8000
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).
11 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 Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (2009). See
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(2009), available at www.usitc.gov. These HTSUS
subheadings were added to the scope of the order
in lightweight thermal paper’s LTFV investigation.

Background
On September 3, 2019, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on heavy
walled rectangular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Korea for the
period September 1, 2018 through
August 31, 2019.1 In September 2019,
Commerce received timely requests, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
to conduct an administrative review of
this antidumping duty order from
Independence Tube Corporation and
Southland Tube Incorporated,
collectively Nucor Pipe Mills (the
petitioner), HiSteel Co., Ltd., Dong-A
Steel Co., Ltd., and Kukje Steel Co., Ltd..
Based upon these requests, on
November 12, 2019, in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Act, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation listing 22 companies
for which Commerce received timely
requests for review.2
In February 2020, all interested
parties timely withdrew their request for
an administrative review of certain
companies.3 These companies are listed
in Appendix I.
Partial Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
who requested the review withdraws
the request within 90 days of the date
of publication of notice of initiation of
the requested review. As noted above,
certain parties withdrew their requests
for review by the 90-day deadline.
Accordingly, we are rescinding this
administrative review with respect to
the companies listed in Appendix I.4

occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
