Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 187 / Thursday, September 30, 2021 / Notices
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend
liquidation of all appropriate entries of
thermal paper from Japan, as described
in Appendix I of this notice, that were
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after May 12,
2021, the date of publication in the
Federal Register of the affirmative
Preliminary Determination.
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit
equal to the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin or the estimated allothers rate, as follows: (1) The cash
deposit rate for the respondent listed
above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average
dumping margin determined in this
final determination; (2) if the exporter is
not a respondent identified above, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average
dumping margin established for that
producer of the subject merchandise;
and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers and exporters will be equal to
the all-others estimated weightedaverage dumping margin.
These suspension of liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until

International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the International
Trade Commission (ITC) of this final
affirmative determination of sales at
LTFV. Because Commerce’s final
determination is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports or
sales (or the likelihood of sales) for
importation of thermal paper from Japan
no later than 45 days after this final
determination. If the ITC determines
that such injury does not exist, this
proceeding will be terminated, all cash
deposits posted will be refunded, and
suspension of liquidation will be lifted.
If the ITC determines that such injury
does exist, Commerce will issue an
antidumping duty order directing CBP
to assess, upon further instruction by
Commerce, antidumping duties on all
imports of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

date of the suspension of liquidation, as
discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of
Suspension of Liquidation’’ section.

Protective Order
This notice will serve as a final
reminder to the parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information

written notification of return or

Digital Transformation Business Development Mission to the Gulf
Cooperation Council Region
The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade
Administration, is amending the Notice published at 86 FR 21697 (April
23, 2021), regarding the dates of ITA's planned GCC Digital
Transformation Trade Mission to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar, which
have been modified from October 24-28, 2021 to January 23-27, 2022. The
Department has been closely monitoring COVID-19 developments and has
determined that postponing the mission is the best decision for the
health, safety, and welfare of the participants. In an effort to
provide U.S. companies with revised mission dates that work for the
majority of the stops, the optional UAE stop that was originally
offered was dropped from the revised mission schedule due to limited
resources and prior commitments made in the UAE that conflict with the
revised dates. The new deadline for applications has been extended to
Thursday, September 30, 2021. Applications may be accepted after that
date if space remains and scheduling constraints permit. Interested
U.S. companies and trade associations/organizations that have not
already submitted an application are encouraged to do so. The schedule
is updated as follows:
