Duty Sunset Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: July 31, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Demitri Kalogeropoulos at 202-482-

Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Background

    On April 2, 2012, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
initiated the second five-year (``sunset'') review of the antidumping 
duty (``AD'') order on certain folding gift boxes from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').\1\ The Folding Gift Boxes Fair 
Trade Coalition,\2\ a group of producers of the domestic like product, 
submitted a sufficient substantive response. On May 21, 2012, after 
analyzing the substantive response of interested parties, consistent 
with 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A), the Department determined to conduct 
an expedited sunset review of this AD duty order on the basis that no 
respondent interested party submitted a substantive response.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 77 FR 19643 
(April 2, 2012).
    \2\ The Folding Gift Boxes Fair Trade Coalition is comprised of 
Harvard Folding Gift Box Company, Inc. and Graphic Packaging 
International, Inc., both U.S. producers of folding gift boxes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 14, 2012, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice entitled Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 
Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain 
Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 
14, 2012) (``Final Modification for Reviews''). In that notice, the 
Department announced the modification of its methodology regarding the 
calculation of the weighted-average dumping margins in certain segments 
of AD proceedings and stated that it would apply to all sunset reviews 
for which preliminary or final results were due more than 60 days after 
publication (i.e., April 16, 2012). On July 23, 2012, the Department 
reconsidered its determination to conduct an expedited sunset review of 
this order and determined to conduct a full sunset review of the AD 
order on folding gift boxes from the PRC.\3\ The preliminary results of 
this full sunset review are currently due July 23, 2012.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Memorandum titled ``Sunset Review of the Antidumping 
Duty Orders on Folding Gift Boxes from the People's Republic of 
China: Adequacy Redetermination Memorandum,'' (July 23, 2012).
    \4\ The due date actually falls on July 21, 2012, which is a 
weekend. Therefore, the deadline moves to the next business day 
which is July 23, 2012. See Notice of Clarification: Application of 
``Next Business Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination 
Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended; 70 FR 
24533 (May 10, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limits

    In accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department 
may extend the period of time for making its determination by not more 
than 90 days, if it determines that the sunset review is 
extraordinarily complicated. We determine that this AD sunset review is 
extraordinarily complicated, pursuant to section 751(c)(5)(C) of the 
Act, because the issues that the Department must analyze pursuant to 
the Final Modification for Reviews are complex.
    The preliminary results of this full sunset review of the AD orders 
on folding gift boxes from the PRC are currently scheduled for July 23, 
2012, and the final results of this review are scheduled for November 
28, 2012. The Department is extending the deadlines for both the 
preliminary and final results of the full sunset review. As a result, 
the Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this full 
sunset review of the AD order on folding gift boxes from the PRC no 
later than October 19, 2012, and the final results of the review no 
later than February 26, 2013. These dates are 90 days from the original 
scheduled dates of the preliminary and final results of the full sunset 
review.
    This notice is issued in accordance with sections 751(c)(5)(B) and 
(C)(v) of the Act.

    Dated: July 23, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
