deposit rate for the exporter/producer
combination listed in the table above
will be the rate identified in the table;
(2) for all combinations of Portuguese
exporters/producers of subject
merchandise that have not received
their own cash deposit rate above, the
cash deposit rate will be the all-others
rate; and (3) for all non-Portuguese
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own cash
deposit rate above, the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate applicable

of liquidation instructions will remain
in effect until further notice.

U.S. International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) of
our final affirmative determination of
sales at LTFV. Because the final
determination in this proceeding 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 of
paper bags from Portugal no later than
45 days after this final determination. If
the ITC determines that material injury
or threat of material injury does not
exist, the proceeding will be terminated
and all cash deposits will be refunded
or canceled, 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 that are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation, as
discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of
Suspension of Liquidation’’ section.

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation
The products within the scope of this
investigation are paper shopping bags with
handles of any type, regardless of whether
there is any printing, regardless of how the
top edges are finished (e.g., folded, serrated,
or otherwise finished), regardless of color,
and regardless of whether the top edges
contain adhesive or other material for sealing
closed. Subject paper shopping bags have a
width of at least 4.5 inches and depth of at
least 2.5 inches.
Paper shopping bags typically are made of
kraft paper but can be made from any type
of cellulose fiber, paperboard, or pressboard
with a basis weight less than 300 grams per
square meter (GSM).
A non-exhaustive illustrative list of the
types of handles on shopping bags covered
by the scope include handles made from any
materials such as twisted paper, flat paper,
yarn, ribbon, rope, string, or plastic, as well
as die-cut handles (whether the punchout is
fully removed or partially attached as a flap).
Excluded from the scope are:
• Paper sacks or bags that are of a 1⁄6 or 1⁄7
barrel size (i.e., 11.5–12.5 inches in width,
6.5–7.5 inches in depth, and 13.5–17.5
inches in height) with flat paper handles or
die-cut handles;
• Paper sacks or bags with die-cut handles,
a grams per square meter paper weight of less
than 86 GSM, and a height of less than 11.5
inches; and
• Paper sacks or bags (i) with non-paper
handles made wholly of woven ribbon or
other similar woven fabric 7 and (ii) that are
finished with folded tops or for which tied

or plastic) are used to secure the handles to
the bags.
The above-referenced dimensions are
provided for paper bags in the opened
position. The height of the bag is the distance
from the bottom fold edge to the top edge
(i.e., excluding the height of handles that
extend above the top edge). The depth of the
bag is the distance from the front of the bag
edge to the back of the bag edge (typically
measured at the bottom of the bag). The
width of the bag is measured from the left to
the right edges of the front and back panels
(upon which the handles typically are
located).
This merchandise is currently classifiable
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
4819.30.0040 and 4819.40.0040. The HTSUS

Title: Domestic Manufacturing Waiver
Form.
OMB Control Number: 0693–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular, new
collection.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Average Hours per Response: 13
hours.
Needs and Uses: The Bayh-Dole Act
(35 U.S.C. 18) and its implementing
regulations (37 CFR 401) require that
Contractors (as defined in the statute
and regulations) shall not grant ‘‘the
exclusive right to use or sell any subject
invention in the United States unless
such person agrees that any products
embodying the subject invention or
produced through the use of the subject
invention will be manufactured
substantially in the United States.’’
However, the law allows an agency to
waive this requirement if a Contractor
has shown that ‘‘reasonable but
unsuccessful efforts have been made to
grant licenses on similar terms to
potential licensees that would be likely
to manufacture substantially in the
United States or that under the
circumstances domestic manufacturing
is not commercially feasible.’’
Pursuant to Executive Order 14104,
NIST was directed to consult with the
Interagency Working Group for BayhDole to create a set of common
questions to be used by all agencies as
an application to apply for waivers of
the domestic manufacturing
requirement under the Bayh-Dole Act.
This information will be used by
agencies to determine whether the
statutory criteria for a waiver have been
met and to understand the
circumstances surrounding the request.
The questions allow the Contractor to
show the agency what actions they took
to attempt to grant licenses to other
parties likely to manufacture in the
United States and what actions they or
their licensee may have taken to attempt
to locate manufacturers within the
United States. It also allows the agency
to ascertain the circumstances
surrounding manufacture, including
cost, capacity, and other burdens, which
may make domestic manufacturing not
commercially feasible. The questions
allow the agency to understand the
location and the circumstances
surrounding where the Contractor
proposes that manufacturing be done

and whether any sort of domestic
manufacturing is anticipated. These and
other information collected through
these questions will aid agencies when
they weigh whether to grant requests to
waive the domestic manufacturing
requirement.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain benefits.
Legal Authority: The Bayh-Dole Act

regulations (37 CFR 401).
