affiliated with the U.S. Export
Assistance Centers (USEACs) of the U.S.
and Foreign Commercial Service

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Please contact Indalecio Vallejos,
Director of the New Mexico USEAC for
more information on the DEC and the
nomination process. Mr. Vallejos can be
reached by email Indalecio.vallejos@

information, contact Laura Barmby,
District Export Council Program
Manager, US&FCS, at (202) 482–2675.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District
Export Councils support the mission of
US&FCS by facilitating the development

network, supporting the expansion of
export opportunities for local U.S.
companies, serving as a communication
link between the business community
and US&FCS, and assisting in
coordinating the activities of trade
assistance partners to leverage available
resources. Individuals appointed to a
DEC become part of a select corps of
trade professionals dedicated to
providing international trade leadership
and guidance to the local business
community and assistance to the
Department of Commerce on export
development issues. DEC members are
volunteers. DEC members are not

immediately. Approximately half of the
positions open on the DEC will be
appointed to a term ending December
31, 2025, and the remainder for the term
ending December 31, 2027. The online
nomination form is available at https://
app.keysurvey.com/f/41751734/3f30/.
All potential nominees must complete
the online nomination form linked
above and consent to sharing of the
information on that form, if appointed,
with other DEC members, relevant
government agencies and private sector
organizations with a focus on trade.
Interested individuals are highly
encouraged to reach out to the local
USEAC Director to learn more about the
DEC and to begin the application
process as soon as possible.
Eligibility and Appointment Criteria:
Appointment is based upon an
individual’s international trade
leadership in the local community,
ability to influence the local
environment for exporting, knowledge
of day-to-day international operations,
interest in export development, and
willingness and ability to devote time to
DEC activities. Members must be
employed as exporters or export service
providers or in a profession which
supports U.S. export promotion efforts.
DEC member appointments are made
without regard to political affiliation.
DEC membership is open to U.S.
citizens and permanent residents of the
United States. As representatives of the
local exporting community, DEC
Members must reside in, or conduct the
majority of their work in, the territory
that the DEC covers. DEC membership is
not open to federal government
employees. Individuals representing
foreign governments, including
individuals registered with the
Department of Justice under the Foreign
Agents Registration Act, must disclose
such representation and may be
disqualified if the Department
determines that such representation is
likely to impact the ability to carry out
the duties of a DEC member or raise an
appearance issue for the Department.
Selection Process: Nominations of
individuals who have applied for DEC
membership will be forwarded to the
local USEAC Director for the Director’s
consideration. The local USEAC
Director ensures that all nominees meet
the membership criteria. The local
USEAC Director then evaluates all
nominees to determine their interest,
commitment, and qualifications. In
reviewing nominees, the local USEAC
Director strives to ensure a balance
among exporters from a manufacturing
or service industry and export service
providers. A fair representation should
be considered from companies and

organizations that support exporters,
representatives of local and state
government, and trade organizations
and associations. Membership should
reflect the diversity of the local business
community, encompass a broad range of
business and industry sectors, and be
distributed geographically across the
DEC service area, and where possible,
the Department of Commerce will also
consider the ethnic, racial, and gender
diversity and various abilities of the
United States population.
The local USEAC Director determines
which nominees to forward to the
US&FCS Office of U.S. Field for further
consideration for recommendation to
the Secretary of Commerce. A
candidate’s background and character
are pertinent to determining suitability
and eligibility for DEC membership.
Since DEC appointments are made by
the Secretary, the Department must
make a suitability determination for all
DEC nominees. After completion of a
vetting process, the Secretary selects
nominees for appointment to the local
DEC. DEC members are appointed by
and serve at the pleasure of the
Secretary of Commerce.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1512 and 4721.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 18, 2024, Commerce
published the preliminary results of the
2022–2023 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order 1 on lightweight
thermal paper from China in the Federal
Register and invited interested parties
to comment.2 We received no comments
from interested parties on the
Preliminary Results, and we have made
no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Accordingly, there is no decision
memorandum accompanying this notice
and the final results are unchanged from
the Preliminary Results. Commerce
conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this Order
includes certain lightweight thermal
paper, which is thermal paper with a
basis weight of 70 grams per square
meter (g/m2) (with a tolerance of ±4.0 g/
m2) or less; irrespective of dimensions; 3
with or without a base coat 4 on one or
both sides; with thermal active
coating(s) 5 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; 6
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)
1 See Antidumping Duty Orders: Lightweight
Thermal Paper from Germany and the People’s
Republic of China, 73 FR 70959 (November 24,
2008) (Order).
2 See Lightweight Thermal Paper from the
People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022–
2023, 89 FR 51499 (June 18, 2024) (Preliminary
Results).
3 LWTP 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 these
orders.
4 A base coat, when applied, is typically made of
clay and/or latex and like materials and is intended
to cover the rough surface of the paper substrate
and to provide insulating value.
5 A thermal active coating is typically made of
sensitizer, dye, and co-reactant.
6 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.
