Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. The Issues and 
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 
determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on tissue paper 
from the PRC would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
dumping, and that the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to 
prevail would be at weighted-average margins up to 112.64 percent.
