---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with 
section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in 
accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Because China is a non-
market economy, within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, 
Commerce has calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c) 
of the Act. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the 
Act, Commerce preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available, with 
adverse inferences, for the China-wide entity, which includes: (1) 
Anhui Yiqin Co., Ltd.; (2) Ningbo Artcool Co., Ltd.; (3) Ningbo Fenghua 
Yongfa Printing Stationery Co., Ltd.; (4) Shaoneng Group Guangdon 
Luzhou ECO Technology Co., Ltd.; (5) Yuyao Hongxiang Printing Co., 
Ltd.; (6) Zhejiang Kingsun Eco-Pack Co., Ltd.; (7) Zhejiang Xieli 
Science & Technology Co., Ltd.; (8) Guangdong Shaoneng Group Luzhou 
Technology Development Co., Ltd.; and (9) Paper World Limited. For a 
full description of the methodology underlying Commerce's preliminary 
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in 
Part

    In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, 
Commerce preliminarily determines that critical circumstances exist 
with respect to imports of paper plates from China for Jinhua P&P 
Products Co., Ltd (Jinhua), the non-selected companies eligible for a 
separate rate, and the China-wide entity, but that critical 
circumstances do not exist for Fuzhou Hengli Paper Co., Ltd. (Fuzhou 
Hengli) and its unaffiliated producers. For a full description of the 
methodology and results of Commerce's critical circumstances analysis, 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Combination Rates

    In the Initiation Notice,\7\ Commerce stated that it would 
calculate producer/exporter combination rates for the respondents that 
are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. Policy Bulletin 
05.1 describes this practice.\8\

Commerce's website at https://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.

Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will 
direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 
of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, as discussed below. 
Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal 
to the weighted average amount by which normal value exceeds U.S. 
price, as indicated in the chart above as follows: (1) for the 
producer/exporter combinations listed in the table above, the cash 
deposit rate is equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin 
listed for that combination in the table; (2) for all combinations of 
China producers/exporters of merchandise under consideration that have 
not established eligibility for their own separate rates, the cash 
deposit rate will be equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin established for the China-wide entity; and (3) for all third-
county exporters of merchandise under consideration not listed in the 
table above, the cash deposit rate is the cash deposit rate applicable 
to the China producer/exporter combination (or the China-wide entity) 
that supplied that third-country exporter.
    Because the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for certain 
producer/exporter combinations are zero, Commerce is directing CBP not 
to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise from those 
producer/exporter combinations. Entries of subject merchandise from 
these exporters supplied by any other producer, or from these producers 
that supplied any other exporter, or from third-country exporters that 
sourced from the excluded producer/exporter combination, are not 
entitled to this exclusion from suspension of liquidation and are 
subject to the provisional measures at the cash deposit rate 
established for the China-wide entity.
    Should the final estimated weighted-average dumping margin be zero 
or de minimis for the producer/exporter combinations identified above, 
entries of merchandise from these producer/exporter combinations will 
be excluded from the order. Such exclusion(s) will not be applicable to 
merchandise exported to the United States by any other producer/
exporter combinations or by third-country exporters that sourced from 
the excluded producer/exporter combinations.
    Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides that, given an affirmative 
determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of liquidation 
shall apply to unliquidated entries of merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the later of: (a) 
the date which is 90 days before the date on which the suspension of 
liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the date on which notice of 
initiation of the investigation was published. Commerce preliminarily 
finds that critical circumstances exist for imports of subject 
merchandise from the following producer/exporter combinations: Jinhua 
P&P Products Co., Ltd., separate rate companies, and the China-wide 
entity. In accordance with section 733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, the 
suspension of liquidation

[[Page 72369]]

shall apply to all unliquidated entries of merchandise from the 
producer/exporter combinations identified in this paragraph that were 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date which is 90 days before the publication of this notice.
    To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of domestic 
subsidy pass-through and export subsidies determined in a companion 
countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding when CVD provisional measures are 
in effect. We preliminarily determine that Fuzhou Hengli is not 
entitled to an adjustment for domestic subsidies passed-through because 
it did not receive a countervailable subsidy (other than export 
subsidy) that affects manufacturing cost of the subject merchandise. We 
preliminarily determine that Jinhua is not entitled to an adjustment 
for domestic subsidies passed-through because it failed to demonstrate 
a subsidy-to-cost link and a cost-to-price link. In addition, in the 
preliminary determination of the companion CVD investigation of paper 
plates from China, Commerce determined that Fuzhou Hengli, but not 
Jinhua, benefited from certain subsidy programs contingent on 
exports.\9\ In this investigation, we made no adjustment to the 
estimated dumping margins for export subsidies of either company 
because Fuzhou Hengli's dumping margin is zero and Jinhua's export 
subsidy rate is zero in the companion CVD investigation.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Certain Paper Plates from the People's Republic of 
China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 
Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in 
Part, and Alignment of Final Determination with Final Antidumping 
Duty Determination, 89 FR 54432 (July 1, 2024).
    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation 
expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV 
investigation, Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting cash 
deposits at a rate equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping 
margins calculated in this preliminary determination unadjusted for the 
passed-through domestic subsidies or for export subsidies at the time 
the CVD provisional measures expire.
    These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect 
until further notice.

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with this preliminary determination within five 
days of its public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days of the date of publication of this notice in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
    Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce will analyze and, if 
appropriate, correct any timely allegations of significant ministerial 
errors by amending the preliminary determination. However, consistent 
with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will not consider incomplete 
allegations that do not address the significance standard under 19 CFR 
351.224(g) following the preliminary determination. Instead, Commerce 
will address such allegations in the final determination together with 
issues raised in the case briefs or other written comments.

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to 
verify information relied upon in making its final determination.

Public Comment

    Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than seven 
days after the date on which the last final verification report is 
issued in this investigation.\11\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues 
raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days after 
the date for filing case briefs.\12\ Interested parties who submit case 
briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table 
of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i); see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for 
general filing requirements).

Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
    \13\ See 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an 
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages 
total, including footnotes. In this investigation, we instead request 
that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a 
public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\14\ 
Further, we request that interested parties limit their public 
executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not 
including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as 
the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision 
memorandum that will accompany the final determination in this 
investigation. We request that interested parties include footnotes for 
relevant citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that 
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the 
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that 
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.
    \15\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days 
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain 
the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of 
participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list 
of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, 
Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be 
determined.

Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional 
Measures

    Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination 
may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the 
publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an 
affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement 
is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of 
exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative 
preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by 
the petitioners. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), Commerce requires 
that requests by respondents for postponement of a final antidumping 
duty determination be accompanied by a request for extension of 
provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than 
six months in duration.
    Fuzhou Hengli, Jinhua, and the American Paper Plate Coalition \16\ 
(the

[[Page 72370]]

petitioner) requested that Commerce postpone the final determination 
and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six 
months.\17\ In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is 
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant 
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling 
reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final 
determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month 
period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce 
will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date 
of publication of this preliminary determination.

the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final 
determination whether imports of the subject merchandise are materially 
injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry.
