SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 6, 2004, Commerce
published the AD order on THFA from
China.1 On March 1, 2020 Commerce
initiated the third sunset review of the
Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930 as amended (the
Act).2 As a result of its review,
Commerce determined that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margin rates likely to
prevail should the Order be revoked.3
On November 2, 2020, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act,
that revocation of the Order would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.4
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this Order is
THFA from China; a primary alcohol,
THFA is a clear, water white to pale
yellow liquid. THFA is a member of the
heterocyclic compounds known as
furans and is miscible with water and
soluble in many common organic
solvents. THFA is currently classifiable
in the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of
the United States (HTSUS) under
subheading 2932.13.00.00. Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and for customs purposes,
Commerce’s written description of the
merchandise subject to the Order is
dispositive.
Continuation of the Order

Scope of the Orders
The scope of the Orders covers
commodity matchbooks, also known as
commodity book matches, paper
matches or booklet matches.6
Commodity matchbooks typically, but
do not necessarily, consist of twenty
match stems which are usually made
from paperboard or similar material

Matchbooks from India (Inv. Nos. 701–TA–512 and
731–TA–1248 (Review)), USITC Pub. 5131 (October
2020).
6 Such commodity matchbooks are also referred
to as ‘‘for resale’’ because they always enter into
retail channels, meaning businesses that sell a
general variety of tangible merchandise, e.g.,
convenience stores, supermarkets, dollar stores,
drug stores and mass merchandisers.

tipped with a match head composed of
any chemical formula. The match stems
may be stitched, stapled or otherwise
fastened into a matchbook cover of any
material, on which a striking strip
composed of any chemical formula has
been applied to assist in the ignition
process.
Commodity matchbooks included in
the scope of these Orders may or may
not contain printing. For example, they
may have no printing other than the
identification of the manufacturer or
importer. Commodity matchbooks may
also be printed with a generic message
such as ‘‘Thank You’’ or a generic image
such as the American Flag, with store
brands (e.g., Kroger, 7-Eleven, Shurfine
or Giant); product brands for national or
regional advertisers such as cigarettes or
alcoholic beverages; or with corporate
brands for national or regional
distributors (e.g., Penley Corp. or
Diamond Brands). They all enter retail
distribution channels. Regardless of the
materials used for the stems of the
matches and regardless of the way the
match stems are fastened to the
matchbook cover, all commodity
matchbooks are included in the scope of
these orders. All matchbooks, including
commodity matchbooks, typically
comply with the United States
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) Safety Standard for Matchbooks,
codified at 16 CFR 1202.1 et seq.
The scope of these Orders excludes
promotional matchbooks, often referred
to as ‘‘not for resale,’’ or ‘‘specialty
advertising’’ matchbooks, as they do not
enter into retail channels and are sold
to businesses that provide hospitality,
dining, drinking or entertainment
services to their customers, and are
given away by these businesses as
promotional items. Such promotional
matchbooks are distinguished by the
physical characteristic of having the
name and/or logo of a bar, restaurant,
resort, hotel, club, cafe´/coffee shop,
grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino,
barbecue or individual establishment
printed prominently on the matchbook
cover. Promotional matchbook cover
printing also typically includes the
address and the phone number of the
business or establishment being
promoted.7 Also excluded are all other
7 The gross distinctions between commodity
matchbooks and promotional matchbooks may be
summarized as follows: (1) If it has no printing, or
is printed with a generic message such as ‘‘Thank
You’’ or a generic image such as the American Flag,
or printed with national or regional store brands or
corporate brands, it is commodity; (2) if it has
printing, and the printing includes the name of a
bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, cafe´/coffee shop,
grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue, or
individual establishment prominently displayed on
the matchbook cover, it is promotional.

matches that are not fastened into a
matchbook cover such as wooden
matches, stick matches, box matches,
kitchen matches, pocket matches, penny
matches, household matches, strikeanywhere matches (aka ‘‘SAW’’
matches), strike-on-box matches (aka
‘‘SOB’’ matches), fireplace matches,
barbeque/grill matches, fire starters, and
wax matches.
The merchandise subject to these
Orders is properly classified under
subheading 3605.00.0060 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Subject
merchandise may also enter under
subheading 3605.00.0030 of the HTSUS.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of these Orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Orders would likely lead to a
continuation or a recurrence of dumping
and countervailable subsidies and of
material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Orders. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD and CVD 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 Orders will be the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of continuation.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce
intends to initiate the next five-year
review of the Orders not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of continuation.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return/destruction or conversion to
judicial protective order of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Failure to comply is a violation of the
APO which may be subject to sanctions.

The Maine
Center for Coastal Fisheries (MCCF)
submitted a complete application for an
Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) in
support of an Atlantic cod biological
sampling initiative in the eastern Gulf of
Maine (GOM). The EFP would exempt
commercial fishing vessels from gear
requirements for vessels fishing under
the open access Handgear B permit,
which prohibit vessels from using or
possessing onboard gear other than
handgear while fishing for Northeast
multispecies at 50 CFR 648.88(a)(2)(i),
and the open access handgear
possession limits specific in
§ 648.88(a)(1) for Gulf of Maine cod.
MCCF also requested that the EFP
include an exemption from Vessel Trip
Reporting (VTR) requirements at
§ 648.7(b)(1)(i). An exemption from
these requirements would encourage
participation in the EFP by vessels
which would need to acquire an open
access Handgear B permit to do so and
are not already subject to VTR
requirements. We do not intend to issue
this exemption, as it is not essential to
the completion of the project, and
would undermine a fundamental
reporting requirement of the Northeast
Multispecies Fishery Management Plan.
Activity under this EFP would occur
from October through April 2021,
within a subset of statistical area 512,
from approximately Port Clyde to
Swan’s Island, Maine, out to the Federal
Lobster Area 1 boundary. During EFP
trips, vessels would deploy commercial
lobster traps as normal and would
opportunistically fish with handgear for
cod sampling when captains deem
appropriate based on operational factors
such as weather conditions and haul
schedules. Vessels would record
location, gear, bait, bottom type, depth,
and time for each deployment of hook
gear. There are two depth strata, 0–50
fathoms (0–91.4 m) and 50–100 fathoms
(91.4–182.9 m). On each EFP trip,
vessels would be allowed to keep up to
2 cod at or above a minimum size of 24
inches (60.9 cm) from each depth strata.
Any other fish caught while fishing with
handgear would be returned to the
ocean as soon as possible.
Kept cod would be landed and
delivered to the MCCF in Stonington.
MCCF technicians would photograph,
measure, and dissect each fish. MCCF
would send tissue, stomach, and otolith
samples will be distributed to

University of Maine and the Northeast
Fisheries Science Center.
The total sample size for the project
is 40 cod, 20 of which would come from
a 0–50-fathom (0–91.4-m) depth strata
and the other 20 from a 50–100-fathom
(91.4–182.9-m) depth strata. MCCF
estimates that landed cod will amount
to approximately 300 lb (136.1 kg) of
fish for the entire sampling season,
based on an assumption that the average
target fish would weigh around 5 lb (2.3
kg). MCCF has stated that estimated
discards would be minimal, based on
experience from the Sentinel Survey
Fishery. Because the maximum number
of fish planned to be kept for each trip
is 4 fish (2 from each strata), at least 10
EFP trips would need to occur to collect
40 cod. It is not likely that vessels will
be able to catch the maximum number
of cod allowed for each trip, so MCCF
has projected that it may take up to 84
trips total to complete sampling. This
projection assumes that each of the
three vessels would make three attempts
every week of the seven-month study
period. Additional handgear B vessels
may be added to the EFP, if approved,
to meet sampling targets.
The exemption from gear
requirements of the open access
Handgear B permit at 50 CFR part
648.88(a)(2)(i) would allow participating
vessels to deploy handgear and fish
under the conditions of the permit
while also fishing with pot/trap gear
during commercial lobster trips.
Exemptions from the open access
handgear B possession limits specified
in § 648.88(a)(1) for GOM cod would
allow participating vessels to keep cod
in excess of 25 lb (11.3 kg) per trip if
needed for biological sampling.
If approved, the applicant may
request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
year. EFP modifications and extensions
may be granted without further notice if
they are deemed essential to facilitate
completion of the proposed research
and have minimal impacts that do not
change the scope or impact of the
initially approved EFP request. Any
fishing activity conducted outside the
scope of the exempted fishing activity
would be prohibited.

Scope of the Orders
The scope of the Orders covers commodity matchbooks, also known as
commodity book matches, paper matches or booklet matches.\6\ Commodity
matchbooks typically, but do not necessarily, consist of twenty match
stems which are usually made from paperboard or similar material tipped
with a match head composed of any chemical formula. The match stems may
be stitched, stapled or otherwise fastened into a matchbook cover of
any material, on which a striking strip composed of any chemical
formula has been applied to assist in the ignition process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Such commodity matchbooks are also referred to as ``for
resale'' because they always enter into retail channels, meaning
businesses that sell a general variety of tangible merchandise,
e.g., convenience stores, supermarkets, dollar stores, drug stores
and mass merchandisers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commodity matchbooks included in the scope of these Orders may or
may not contain printing. For example, they may have no printing other
than the identification of the manufacturer or importer. Commodity
matchbooks may also be printed with a generic message such as ``Thank
You'' or a generic image such as the American Flag, with store brands
(e.g., Kroger, 7-Eleven, Shurfine or Giant); product brands for
national or regional advertisers such as cigarettes or alcoholic
beverages; or with corporate brands for national or regional
distributors (e.g., Penley Corp. or Diamond Brands). They all enter
retail distribution channels. Regardless of the materials used for the
stems of the matches and regardless of the way the match stems are
fastened to the matchbook cover, all commodity matchbooks are included
in the scope of these orders. All matchbooks, including commodity
matchbooks, typically comply with the United States Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) Safety Standard for Matchbooks, codified at 16
CFR 1202.1 et seq.
The scope of these Orders excludes promotional matchbooks, often
referred to as ``not for resale,'' or ``specialty advertising''
matchbooks, as they do not enter into retail channels and are sold to
businesses that provide hospitality, dining, drinking or entertainment
services to their customers, and are given away by these businesses as
promotional items. Such promotional matchbooks are distinguished by the
physical characteristic of having the name and/or logo of a bar,
restaurant, resort, hotel, club, caf[eacute]/coffee shop, grill, pub,
eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue or individual establishment printed
prominently on the matchbook cover. Promotional matchbook cover
printing also typically includes the address and the phone number of
the business or establishment being promoted.\7\ Also excluded are all
other matches that are not fastened into a matchbook cover such as
wooden matches, stick matches, box matches, kitchen matches, pocket
matches, penny matches, household matches, strike-anywhere matches (aka
``SAW'' matches), strike-on-box matches (aka ``SOB'' matches),
fireplace matches, barbeque/grill matches, fire starters, and wax
matches.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The gross distinctions between commodity matchbooks and
promotional matchbooks may be summarized as follows: (1) If it has
no printing, or is printed with a generic message such as ``Thank
You'' or a generic image such as the American Flag, or printed with
national or regional store brands or corporate brands, it is
commodity; (2) if it has printing, and the printing includes the
name of a bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, caf[eacute]/coffee
shop, grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue, or individual
establishment prominently displayed on the matchbook cover, it is
promotional.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise subject to these Orders is properly classified
under subheading 3605.00.0060 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Subject merchandise may also enter under
subheading 3605.00.0030 of the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of these Orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or a
recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and of material
injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Orders. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD and CVD 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 Orders will be the date of publication
in the Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends
to initiate the next five-year review of the Orders not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
