SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 27, 2010, the Department published its affirmative 
final determination of sales at less-than-fair-value in the antidumping 
duty investigation of certain coated paper from Indonesia. See Certain 
Coated Paper Suitable for High-Quality Print Graphics Using Sheet-Fed 
Presses from Indonesia: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value, 75 FR 59223 (September 27, 2010) (Certain Coated Paper Final 
Determination).
    On November 10, 2010, the ITC notified the Department of its final 
determination pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), that an industry in the United States is threatened 
with material injury by reason of less-than-fair-value imports of 
certain coated paper from Indonesia. See section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of 
the Act.

Scope of the Order

    The scope of the order covers certain coated paper and paperboard 
\1\ in sheets suitable for high quality print graphics using sheet-fed 
presses; coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China or other clay), 
calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and/or other inorganic substances; 
with or without a binder; having a GE brightness level of 80 or higher 
\2\; weighing not more than 340 grams per square meter; whether gloss 
grade, satin grade, matte grade, dull grade, or any other grade of 
finish; whether or not surface-colored, surface-decorated, printed 
(except as described below), embossed, or perforated; and irrespective 
of dimensions (``Certain Coated Paper'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ `` `Paperboard' refers to Certain Coated Paper that is 
heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper which otherwise 
meets the product description. In the context of Certain Coated 
Paper, paperboard typically is referred to as `cover,' to 
distinguish it from `text.' ''
    \2\ One of the key measurements of any grade of paper is 
brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter the paper the better 
the contrast between the paper and the ink. Brightness is measured 
using a GE Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of light 
off of a grade of paper. One is the lowest reflection, or what would 
be given to a totally black grade, and 100 is the brightest measured 
grade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certain Coated Paper includes (a) coated free sheet paper and 
paperboard that meets this scope definition; (b) coated groundwood 
paper and paperboard produced from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical 
pulp (``BCTMP'') that meets this scope definition; and (c) any other 
coated paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition.
    Certain Coated Paper is typically (but not exclusively) used for 
printing multi-colored graphics for catalogues, books, magazines, 
envelopes, labels and wraps, greeting cards, and other commercial 
printing applications requiring high quality print graphics.
    Specifically excluded from the scope are imports of paper and 
paperboard printed with final content printed text or graphics.
    As of 2009, imports of the subject merchandise are provided for 
under the following categories of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (``HTSUS''): 4810.14.11, 4810.14.1900, 4810.14.2010, 
4810.14.2090, 4810.14.5000, 4810.14.6000, 4810.14.70, 4810.19.1100, 
4810.19.1900, 4810.19.2010, 4810.19.2090, 4810.22.1000, 4810.22.50, 
4810.22.6000, 4810.22.70, 4810.29.1000, 4810.29.5000, 4810.29.6000, 
4810.29.70, 4810.32, 4810.39 and 4810.92. While HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description 
of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order

    On November 10, 2010, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, 
the ITC notified the Department of its final determination that an 
industry in the United States is threatened with material injury within 
the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by reason of less-
than-fair-value imports of certain coated paper from Indonesia. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the 
Department will direct U.S. Customs Border and Protection (CBP) to 
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties 
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise 
exceeds the U.S. price of the merchandise for all relevant entries of 
certain coated paper from Indonesia.
    For all manufacturers/exporters, pursuant to section 736(b)(2) of 
the Act, duties shall be assessed on subject merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of the ITC's notice of final determination, given that that 
determination is based on the threat

[[Page 70206]]

of material injury, other than threat of material injury described in 
section 736(b)(1) of the Act. Section 736(b)(1) of the Act states that, 
``{i{time} f the Commission, in its final determination under section 
735(b), finds material injury or threat of material injury which, but 
for the suspension of liquidation under section 733(d)(2) would have 
led to a finding of material injury, then entries of the subject 
merchandise, the liquidation of which has been suspended under section 
733(d)(2), shall be subject to the imposition of antidumping duties 
under section 731.'' In addition, section 736(b)(2) of the Act requires 
CBP to release any bond or other security and refund any cash deposit 
made of estimated antidumping duties posted since the Department's 
preliminary antidumping duty determination (i.e., May 6, 2010). See 
Certain Coated Paper Suitable for High-Quality Print Graphics Using 
Sheet-Fed Presses from Indonesia: Preliminary Determination of Sales at 
Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 75 FR 
24885 (May 6, 2010).
    Because the ITC's final determination is based on the threat of 
material injury and is not accompanied by a finding that injury would 
have resulted but for the imposition of suspension of liquidation of 
entries since the Department's preliminary determination, section 
736(b)(2) of the Act is applicable. According to section 736(b)(2) of 
the Act, where the ITC finds threat of material injury, duties shall 
only be assessed on subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the 
ITC's notice of final determination. In addition, section 736(b)(2) of 
the Act requires CBP to refund any cash deposits or bonds of estimated 
antidumping duties posted since the preliminary antidumping 
determination and prior to the ITC's notice of final determination.
    Therefore, on or after the date of publication of the ITC's notice 
of final determination in the Federal Register CBP will require a cash 
deposit equal to the estimated dumping margins listed below, pursuant 
to section 736(a)(3) of the Act, at the same time that importers would 
deposit estimated normal customs duties on this merchandise. The ``All 
Others'' rate for Indonesia applies to all Indonesian producers or 
exporters not specifically listed and not specifically excluded. The 
Department will also instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of 
liquidation for entries of certain coated paper from Indonesia entered 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption prior to November 10, 
2010, and refund any cash deposits made and release any bonds posted 
between the publication of the Department's preliminary determinations 
on May 6, 2010, and the publication of the ITC's final determination.

Final Determination Margins

    The margins and cash deposit rates are as follows:
