Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order

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

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (``the 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.

DATES: Effective date: September 22, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 1, 2015, the Department initiated a 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'').\1\ 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.\2\ On September 
8, 2015, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
certain crepe paper products 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 time.\3\

    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.

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of the 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 products 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.

    Dated: September 11, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
