Certain Crepe Paper Products From the People's Republic of China: 
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order

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

DATES: Effective Date: May 13, 2010.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission 
(``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain 
crepe paper products from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') 
would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and 
material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is 
publishing a notice of continuation of the antidumping duty order.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alexis Polovina, AD/CVD Operations, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3927.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 1, 2009, the Department 
published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain crepe paper products from the PRC 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 74 FR 62748 
(December 1, 2009).
    As a result of its review, the Department determined that 
revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain crepe paper 
products from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence 
of dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail should the order be revoked. See Certain 
Crepe Paper Products From the People's Republic of China: Final Results 
of Expedited Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 75 FR 15415 
(March 29, 2010).
    On April 30, 2010, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain 
crepe paper from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable future. See Crepe Paper Products From 
China Determination, 75 FR 24968 (May 6, 2010), and USITC Publication 
4148 (April 2010), Crepe Paper Products from China: Investigation No. 
731-TA-1070A (Review).

Scope of the Order

    For purposes of the order, the term ``certain crepe paper'' 
includes crepe paper products that have a basis weight not exceeding 29 
grams per square meter prior to being creped and, if appropriate, 
flame-proofed. Crepe paper has a finely wrinkled surface texture and 
typically but not exclusively is treated to be flame-retardant. Crepe 
paper is typically but not exclusively produced as streamers in roll 
form and packaged in plastic bags. Crepe paper may or may not be 
bleached, dye colored, surface-colored, surface decorated or printed, 
glazed, sequined, embossed, die-cut, and/or flame retardant. Subject 
crepe paper may be rolled, flat or folded, and may be packaged by 
banding or wrapping with paper, by placing in plastic bags, and/or by 
placing in boxes for distribution and use by the ultimate consumer. 
Packages of crepe paper subject to this order may consist solely of 
crepe paper of one color and/or style, or may contain multiple colors 
and/or styles. The merchandise subject to this order does not have 
specific classification numbers assigned to them under the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). Subject merchandise 
may be under one or more of several different HTSUS subheadings, 
including: 4802.30; 4802.54; 4802.61; 4802.62; 4802.69; 4804.39; 
4806.40; 4808.30; 4808.90; 4811.90; 4818.90; 4823.90; 9505.90.40. The 
tariff classifications are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes; however, the written description of the scope of this order 
is dispositive.

    As a result of these determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping

and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to 
section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders the 
continuation of the antidumping order on certain crepe paper from the 
PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect 
antidumping duty 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 order will be the date of publication in the 
Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to section 
751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department intends to initiate the next five-
year review of the order not later than 30 days prior to the fifth 
anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
    This five-year (sunset) review and this notice are in accordance 
with section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 
777(i)(1) of the Act.
