Lightweight Thermal Paper From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 2, 2008.
SUMMARY: On May 13, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published its preliminary determination of sales at 
less than fair value (``LTFV'') in the antidumping investigation of 
lightweight thermal paper (``LWTP'') from the People's Republic of 
China (``PRC''). The period of investigation (``POI'') is January 1, 
2007, to June 30, 2007. We invited interested parties to comment on our 
preliminary determination of sales at LTFV. Based on our analysis of 
the comments we received, we have made changes to our calculations for 
the mandatory respondents. The final dumping margins for this 
investigation are listed in the ``Final Determination Margins'' section 
below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frances Veith or Demitrios 
Kalogeropoulos, AD/CVD Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-4295 or (202) 482-2623, respectively.

Final Determination

    We determine that LWTP from the PRC is being, or is likely to be, 
sold in the United States at LTFV as provided in section 735 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). The estimated margins of 
sales at LTFV are shown in the ``Final Determination Margins'' section 
of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Case History

    The Department published its preliminary determination of sales at 
LTFV on May 13, 2008. See Lightweight Thermal Paper From the People's 
Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 73 FR 27504 (May 13, 
2008) (``Preliminary Determination''). Additionally, the Department 
postponed the deadline for the final determination by 60 days to 
September 25, 2008. See Preliminary Determination, at 27504. On May 28, 
2008, Appleton Papers, Inc. (``petitioner'') submitted comments 
regarding Guanhao's eligibility for a separate rate. From June 2 
through 13, 2008, the Department conducted verifications of Hanhong 
International Limited, Shanghai Hanhong Paper Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong 
Hanhong Ltd. (collectively (``Hanhong'')) and Guangdong Guanhao High-
Tech Co., Ltd. (``Guanhao'') and released its verification reports for 
both companies on July 16, 2008. See the ``Verification'' section below 
for additional information. On June 12, 2008, petitioner filed a timely 
request for a public hearing. On June 23, 2008, petitioner and Guanhao 
submitted surrogate value information for the record. On July 2, 2008, 
the Department placed its updated wage rate calculations on the record. 
On July 24, 2008, case briefs were filed by both petitioner and 
Hanhong. On July 29, 2008, Hanhong and Guanhao each filed rebuttal 
briefs. On August 14, 2008, petitioner withdrew its request for a 
hearing.

Targeted Dumping

    On May 5, 2008, petitioner filed an allegation of targeted dumping 
with respect to patterns of Hanhong's constructed export prices 
(``CEPs'') for comparable merchandise that differ significantly among 
purchases and periods of time. Petitioner limited its targeted dumping 
allegation to patterns of prices found in Hanhong's CEP sales. In our 
Preliminary Determination, we found that Hanhong was not affiliated 
with its U.S. customer, and based our margin analysis on Hanhong's 
export price (``EP'') sales. As a result, petitioner's targeted dumping 
allegation was inapplicable to our margin calculations. Since the 
Preliminary Determination, no interested party has provided any 
argument or information on the record concerning petitioner's targeted 
dumping allegation. In our final determination, we have continued to 
find Hanhong unaffiliated with its U.S. customer, and consequently, 
based our margin calculations on Hanhong's EP sales. As a result, 
petitioner's allegation of targeted dumping is not applicable to our 
margin analysis. Therefore, we did not address it in this final 
determination.

Period of Investigation

    The period of investigation (``POI'') is January 1, 2007, through 
June 30, 2007. This period corresponds to the two most recent fiscal 
quarters prior to the month of the filing of the petition, which was 
September 2007. See 19 CFR 351.204(b)(1).

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, we verified the 
information submitted by Hanhong and Guanhao for use in our final 
determination. See the Department's verification reports on the record 
of this investigation in the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), Room 1117 
of the main Department building, with respect to these entities. For 
all verified companies, we used standard verification procedures, 
including examination of relevant accounting and production records, as 
well as original source documents provided by respondents.

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

     Financial statements--In the Preliminary Determination, we 
calculated financial ratios based on two Indian producers' financial 
statements (i.e. , Parag Copigraph Pvt. Ltd. (``Parag'') and Alpha 
Carbonless Paper Ltd. for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. For 
the final determination, we have determined to use only Parag's 
financial statement for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. See 
Comment 2.
     Financial ratios--For the final determination, we made 
certain changes to the financial ratio calculations from the 
Preliminary Determination. We excluded the line items for freight and 
cartage-outward, and freight and cartage-export from the Selling, 
General, and Administrative expenses (``SG&A'') ratio calculation 
obtained from Parag's financial statement. Additionally, we included 
Parag's line items for miscellaneous income, other income, and interest 
revenue (because all of Parag's interest revenue was on current assets) 
as an offset to the SG&A ratio calculation and we have continued to 
include export expense in our calculation of the surrogate financial 
ratio for SG&A. See Comment 3.
     Base paper surrogate value--For the Preliminary 
Determination, we calculated Guanhao's surrogate value for base paper 
using WTA import statistics. For the final determination, we have 
continued to calculate Guanhao's surrogate value using WTA import 
statistics; however, we have excluded imports into India from the 
United States. See Comment 9.
     Guanhao minor corrections--We made the following minor 
corrections to Guanhao's sales data: (1) We changed the reported gross 
weight for two observations; and (2) we changed the reported payment 
date for six observations. See Memorandum entitled, ``Verification of 
the Sales and Factors Responses of Guangdong Guanhao High Tech Co., 
Ltd. in the Antidumping Investigation of Lightweight Thermal Paper from 
the People's Republic of China,'' dated July 16, 2008.
     Hanhong minor corrections--We made the following minor 
corrections to Hanhong's sales and factors-of-production (``FOP'') 
data: (1) We changed the reported destination for one observation; (2) 
we changed the reported per-unit gross weight for certain observations; 
and (3) we changed the reported capped distance for certain FOPs. See 
Memorandum entitled, ``Verification of the Sales and Factors Responses 
of Hanhong International Limited, Shanghai Hanhong Paper Co., Ltd., 
Hong Kong Hanhong Co., Ltd. in the Antidumping Investigation of 
Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People's Republic of China,'' dated 
July 16, 2008.

Scope of Investigation

    The merchandise covered by this investigation includes certain 
lightweight thermal paper, which is thermal paper with a basis weight 
of 70 grams per square meter (g/m\2\) (with a tolerance of 4.0 g/m\2\) or less; irrespective of dimensions; \1\ with or 
without a base coat \2\ on one or both sides; with thermal active 
coating(s) \3\ 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; \4\ 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 investigation may be classified in the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') under subheadings 
4811.90.8040, 4811.90.9090, 3703.10.60, 4811.59.20, 4820.10.20, and 
4823.40.00.\5\ Although HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 
and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this 
investigation is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 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 investigations.
    \2\ 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.
    \3\ A thermal active coating is typically made of sensitizer, 
dye, and co-reactant.
    \4\ 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.
    \5\ HTSUS subheading 4811.90.8000 was a classification used for 
LWTP until January 1, 2007. Effective that date, subheading 
4811.90.8000 was replaced with 4811.90.8020 (for gift wrap, a 
nonsubject product) and 4811.90.8040 (for ``other'' including LWTP). 
HTSUS subheading 4811.90.9000 was a classification for LWTP until 
July 1, 2005. Effective that date, subheading 4811.90.9000 was 
replaced with 4811.90.9010 (for tissue paper, a nonsubject product) 
and 4811.90.9090 (for ``other,'' including LWTP). Petitioner 
indicated that, from time to time, LWTP also may have been entered 
under HTSUS subheading 3703.90, HTSUS heading 4805, and perhaps 
other subheadings of the HTSUS, including HTSUS subheadings: 
3703.10.60, 4811.59.20, 4820.10.20, and 4823.40.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surrogate Country

    In the Preliminary Determination, we stated that we had selected 
India as the appropriate surrogate country to use in this investigation 
for the following reasons: (1) It is a significant producer of 
comparable merchandise; (2) it is at a level of economic development 
comparable to that of the PRC; and (3) we have reliable data from India 
that we can use to value the FOPs. See Preliminary Determination. For 
the final determination, we received and reviewed comments from 
interested parties; however, we made no changes to our findings with 
respect to the selection of India as a surrogate country.

Separate Rates

    In proceedings involving non-market-economy (``NME'') countries, 
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies 
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should 
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the 
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to 
an investigation in an NME country this single rate unless an exporter 
can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to be 
entitled to a separate rate. See Final Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic of China, 56 FR 
20588 (May 6, 1991) (``Sparklers''), as amplified by Notice of Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from 
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994) (``Silicon 
Carbide''), and 19 CFR 351.107(d).
    In the Preliminary Determination, we found that Hanhong and Guanhao 
demonstrated their eligibility for separate-rate status. For the final 
determination, we continue to find that the evidence placed on the 
record of this investigation by Hanhong and Guanhao demonstrate both a 
de jure and de facto absence of government control, with respect to 
their respective exports of the merchandise under investigation, and, 
thus are eligible for separate-rate status. See Comment 7.

Facts Available and the PRC-wide Entity

    Sections 776(a)(1) and (2) of the Act provide that the Department 
shall apply ``facts otherwise available'' if, inter alia, necessary 
information is not on the record or an interested party: (A) Withholds 
information requested by the Department, (B) fails to provide such

[[Page 57331]]

information by the deadline, or in the form or manner requested, (C) 
significantly impedes a proceeding, or (D) provides information that 
cannot be verified, as provided by section 782(i) of the Act.
    Where the Department determines that a response to a request for 
information does not comply with the request, section 782(d) of the Act 
provides that the Department will so inform the party submitting the 
response and will, to the extent practicable, provide that party the 
opportunity to remedy or explain the deficiency. If the party fails to 
remedy the deficiency within the applicable time limits, subject to 
section 782(e) of the Act, the Department may disregard all or part of 
the original and subsequent responses, as appropriate. Pursuant to 
section 782(e) of the Act, the Department shall not decline to consider 
submitted information if all of the following requirements are met: (1) 
The information is submitted by the established deadline; (2) the 
information can be verified; (3) the information is not so incomplete 
that it cannot serve as a reliable basis for reaching the applicable 
determination; (4) the interested party has demonstrated that it acted 
to the best of its ability; and (5) the information can be used without 
undue difficulties.
    In the Preliminary Determination, we determined that two companies, 
Xiamen Anne Paper Co., Ltd. (``Anne Paper'') and Yalong Paper Product 
(Kunshan) Co., Ltd. (``Yalong''), which did not respond to any of the 
Department's requests for information, did not cooperate to the best of 
their ability.\6\ As a result, we determined that they failed to 
demonstrate that they operate free of government control and that they 
are entitled to a separate rate.\7\ Thus, we considered Anne Paper and 
Yalong to be part of the PRC-wide entity. Because the PRC-wide entity, 
including Anne Paper and Yalong, did not provide any information, we 
determined that sections 782(d) and (e) of the Act are not relevant to 
our analysis. Therefore, in the Preliminary Determination, we 
determined that there were exports of the merchandise subject to this 
investigation from PRC exporters/producers that did not respond to the 
Department's shipment questionnaire. Because the PRC-wide entity did 
not cooperate to the best of its ability in responding to our requests 
for information, we determined that use of facts available pursuant to 
section 776(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the Act was warranted for the PRC-wide 
entity, which includes Anne Paper and Yalong.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Value: Certain Artist Canvas from the People's Republic of China, 71 
FR 16116 (March 30, 2006) (``Artist Canvas'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 776(b) of the Act provides that if an interested party 
fails to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply 
with requests for information, the Department may employ adverse 
inferences.\9\ We found that, because the PRC-wide entity did not 
respond to our request for information, it failed to cooperate to the 
best of its ability. Therefore, in the Preliminary Determination, the 
Department determined that, in selecting from among the facts 
available, an adverse inference is appropriate. There have been no 
changes to the information on the record concerning the PRC-wide entity 
which includes Anne Paper and Yalong. Therefore, we have made no 
changes in our analysis for the final determination. Consequently, we 
determine that the use of adverse facts available (``AFA'') for the 
PRC-wide entity, which includes Anne Paper and Yalong, is warranted for 
the final determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See, e.g., Artist Canvas, 71 FR 16116, 16118 (March 30, 
2006). See also, Statement of Administrative Action accompanying the 
URAA, H.R. Rep No. 103-316 (``SAA'') at 870.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selection of the Adverse Facts Available Rate

    In deciding which facts to use as AFA, section 776(b) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.308(c)(1) provide that the Department may rely on 
information derived from (1) the petition, (2) a final determination in 
the investigation, (3) any previous review or determination, or (4) any 
information placed on the record. In selecting a rate for AFA, the 
Department selects a rate that is sufficiently adverse ``as to 
effectuate the purpose of the facts available rule to induce 
respondents to provide the Department with complete and accurate 
information in a timely manner.'' \10\ It is also the Department's 
practice to select a rate that ensures ``that the party does not obtain 
a more favorable result by failing to cooperate than if it had 
cooperated fully.'' \11\

Fair Value: Static Random Access Memory Semiconductors From Taiwan,

(November 18, 2005); see also, SAA at 870.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Generally, the Department finds selecting the highest rate in any 
segment of the proceeding as AFA to be appropriate.\12\ It is the 
Department's practice to select, as AFA, the higher of the (a) highest 
margin alleged in the petition, or (b) the highest calculated rate of 
any respondent in the investigation.\13\ In the instant investigation, 
as AFA, we have assigned to the PRC-wide entity, including Anne Paper 
and Yalong, the highest rate on the record of this proceeding, which in 
this case is the calculated margin for Hanhong. The Department 
determines that this information is the most appropriate from the 
available sources to effectuate the purposes of AFA.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corroboration

    Section 776(c) of the Act provides that, when the Department relies 
on secondary information rather than on information obtained in the 
course of an investigation as facts available, it must, to the extent 
practicable, corroborate that information from independent sources 
reasonably at its disposal. Secondary information is described as 
``information derived from the petition that gave rise to the 
investigation or review, the final determination concerning merchandise 
subject to this investigation, or any previous review under section 751 
concerning the merchandise subject to this investigation.'' \14\ To 
``corroborate'' means simply that the Department will satisfy itself 
that the secondary information to be used has probative value.\15\ 
Independent sources used to corroborate may include, for example, 
published price lists, official import statistics and customs data, and 
information obtained from interested parties during the particular 
investigation.\16\ To corroborate secondary information, the Department 
will, to the extent practicable, examine

[[Page 57332]]

the reliability and relevance of the information used.\17\

    As we did not rely upon secondary information, no corroboration was 
required under section 776(c) of the Act; rather we used a rate 
calculated for a respondent in this investigation as the AFA rate for 
this investigation. \18\ See the ``Final Determination'' section of 
this notice below.

    \18\ See Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The PRC-wide rate applies to all entries of the merchandise under 
investigation except for entries from respondents, Hanhong and Guanhao 
as they have demonstrated eligibility for a separate rate. These 
companies and their corresponding antidumping duty cash deposit rates 
are listed below in the ``Final Determination'' section of this notice. 
Accordingly, we find that the rate of xx.xx percent is corroborated 
within the meaning of section 776(c) of the Act.

Combination Rates

    In the Initiation Notice, the Department stated that it would 
calculate combination rates for certain respondents that are eligible 
for a separate rate in this investigation.\19\ This practice is 
described in the Separate Rate Policy Bulletin.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Initiation Notice, 72 FR at 62435.

Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping Investigations 
involving Non-Market Economy Countries'' dated April 5, 2005, 
available at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/policy/index.html.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adjustment for Export Subsidies

    Consistent with our practice, where the product under investigation 
is also subject to a concurrent countervailing duty investigation, we 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to require a cash 
deposit or posting of a bond equal to the amount by which the normal 
value exceeds the EP, less the amount of the countervailing duty 
determined to constitute an export subsidy. Accordingly, for cash 
deposit purposes for Guanhao, we will subtract from the antidumping 
applicable cash deposit rate that portion of the rate attributable to 
the export subsidies found in the affirmative countervailing duty 
determination (i.e., 0.13 percent). After the adjustment for the export 
subsidies, the resulting cash deposit rate will be 19.64 for Guanhao.

Final Determination

    The weighted-average dumping margin percentages are as follows:

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the 
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we are 
directing CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all imports of 
subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the following dates: (1) For Guanhao and 
Hanhong, on or after May 13, 2008, the date of publication of the 
Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register, (2) for the PRC-wide 
entity, on or after May 13, 2008, the date of publication of the 
Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. We will instruct CBP 
to continue to require a cash deposit or the posting of a bond for all 
companies based on the estimated weighted-average dumping margins shown 
above. The suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect 
until further notice.

ITC Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we have notified the 
International Trade Commission (``ITC'') of our final determination of 
sales at LTFV. As our final determination is affirmative, in accordance 
with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, within 45 days the ITC will 
determine 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 the 
subject merchandise. If the ITC determines that material injury or 
threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be 
terminated and all securities posted will be refunded or canceled. If 
the ITC determines that such injury does exist, the Department will 
issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess antidumping 
duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the 
suspension of liquidation.

Notification Regarding APO

    This notice also serves as a reminder to the parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely notification of return or 
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This determination and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
