Section A of the Department’s 

questionnaire by February 10, 2011, and 

Sections C and D of the questionnaire by 

February 28, 2011. 

On February 2, 2011, eight days prior 

to the Department’s February 10, 2011, 

deadline for Section A questionnaire 

responses, the Department received a 

request on behalf of New King Shan 

(Zhuhai) Co., Ltd. (‘‘NKS’’), a mandatory 

respondent in the original investigation 

and a separate rate company in this 

review, to be selected as a replacement 

mandatory respondent in the event of a 

non-responsive mandatory respondent 

and for a 28-day extension to submit 

questionnaire responses.4 On February 

4, 2011, Wireking filed a request for an 

extension of the deadline to submit its 

Section A response, which the 

Department extended to February 22, 

2011, for Wireking and any potential 

voluntary respondents.5 The 

Department did not receive an extension 

request from Weixi and did not receive 

its Section A response by the appointed 

deadline. 

On February 23, 2011, the Department 

received an unsolicited Section A 

questionnaire response from NKS.6 On 

March 1, 2011, because Weixi did not 

cooperate with our request for 

information, the Department selected 

NKS, the third largest exporter by 

volume, as a replacement mandatory 

respondent.7 We also determined that it 

was appropriate to use the Section A 

response already submitted by NKS as 

the basis for that company’s response as 

a mandatory respondent.8 On March 1, 

2011, the Department sent its 

antidumping questionnaire to NKS and 

assigned a deadline of March 22, 2011, 

for its Sections C and D responses.9 The 

preliminary results of this review are 

currently due on June 2, 2011. 

Statutory Time Limits 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 

requires the Department to issue the 

preliminary results of an administrative 

review within 245 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month of an order for 

which a review is requested. Consistent 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 

Department may extend the 245-day 

period to 365 days if it is not practicable 

to complete the review within a 245-day 

period. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

The preliminary results are currently 

due on June 2, 2011. The nonresponsiveness of one of the initial 

mandatory respondents, Weixi, and the 

selection of an additional mandatory 

respondent, NKS, restricted the time 

that the Department has available to 

gather and analyze additional 

information related to the sales process, 

affiliations, establishing the proper date 

of sale, surrogate values for all factors of 

production, and the methodology used 

to report factors of production. As the 

Department has yet to receive all 

responses to its supplemental 

questionnaires, we require more time to 

analyze the responses and issue any 

additional supplemental questionnaires, 

as needed. Therefore, we find that it is 

not practicable to complete these 

preliminary results within the current 

245 day deadline. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department 

is extending the time limit for issuing 

the preliminary results by 120 days 

until September 30, 2011. The final 

results continue to be due 120 days after 

the publication of the preliminary 

results. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 1, 2010, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review’’ of the 

antidumping duty order on lightweight 

thermal paper (thermal paper) from 

Germany for the period of review (POR) 

November 1, 2009, through October 31, 

2010. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 75 

FR 67079 (November 1, 2010). 

On November 30, 2010, the 

Department received a timely request 

filed on behalf of Appleton Papers Inc. 

(petitioner) to conduct an administrative 

review of Mitsubishi HiTec Paper 

Flensburg GmbH, Mitsubishi HiTec 

Paper Bielefeld GmbH, and Mitsubishi 

International Corp. (collectively, 

Mitsubishi), and Papierfabrik August 

Koehler AG (Koehler). On November 30, 

2010, the Department also received a 

request filed on behalf of Koehler to 

conduct an administrative review of 

Koehler. 

Pursuant to the aforementioned 

requests, the Department published in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on thermal 

paper from Germany, covering two 

respondents, Mitsubishi and Koehler. 

See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 75 FR 81565 (December 28, 2010)

1Thermal paper is typically produced in jumbo 

rolls that are slit to the specifications of the 

converting equipment and then converted into 

finished slit rolls. Both jumbo and converted rolls 

(as well as LWTP in any other form, presentation, 

or dimension) are covered by the scope of these 

orders. 

2A base coat, when applied, is typically made of 

clay and/or latex and like materials and is intended 

to cover the rough surface of the paper substrate 

and to provide insulating value. 

3A thermal active coating is typically made of 

sensitizer, dye, and co-reactant. 

4A top coat, when applied, is typically made of 

polyvinyl acetone, polyvinyl alcohol, and/or like 

materials and is intended to provide environmental 

protection, an improved surface for press printing, 

and/or wear protection for the thermal print head. 

5HTSUS subheading 4811.90.8000 was a 

classification used for LWTP until January 1, 2007. 

Effective that date, subheading 4811.90.8000 was 

replaced with 4811.90.8020 (for gift wrap, a nonsubject product) and 4811.90.8040 (for ‘‘other’’ 

including LWTP). HTSUS subheading 4811.90.9000 

was a classification for LWTP until July 1, 2005. 

Effective that date, subheading 4811.90.9000 was 

replaced with 4811.90.9010 (for tissue paper, a nonsubject product) and 4811.90.9090 (for ‘‘other,’’ 

including LWTP). See Memorandum to the File, 

dated February 9, 2011, regarding the addition of 

HTSUS numbers: 4811.90.8020 and 4811.90.9010, 

per the request of the National Import Specialist of 

Customs and Border Protection. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order includes certain lightweight 

thermal paper, which is thermal paper 

with a basis weight of 70 grams per 

square meter (g/m2) (with a tolerance of 

± 4.0 g/m2) or less; irrespective of 

dimensions; 1 with or without a base 

coat 2 on one or both sides; with thermal 

active coating(s) 3 on one or both sides 

that is a mixture of the dye and the 

developer that react and form an image 

when heat is applied; with or without 

a top coat; 4 and without an adhesive 

backing. Certain lightweight thermal 

paper is typically (but not exclusively) 

used in point-of-sale applications such 

as ATM receipts, credit card receipts, 

gas pump receipts, and retail store 

receipts. The merchandise subject to 

these orders may be classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) under 

subheadings 3703.10.60, 4811.59.20, 

4811.90.8020, 4811.90.8040, 

4811.90.9010, 4811.90.9090, 4820.10.20, 

and 4823.40.00.5 Although HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of these 

orders is dispositive. 

Partial Rescission of the 2009–2010 

Administrative Review 

On March 28, 2011, petitioner 

withdrew its request for review of 

Mitsubishi. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind 

an administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review. The instant review was initiated 

on December 28, 2010. See Notice of 

Initiation. The petitioner’s withdrawal 

of request for a review of Mitsubishi 

falls within the 90-day deadline for 

rescission by the Department, and no 

other party requested an administrative 

review of this particular respondent. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our 

practice, we are rescinding this review 

with respect to Mitsubishi. See, e.g., 

Certain Lined Paper Products From 

India: Notice of Partial Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review and Extension of Time Limit for 

the Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 

21781 (May 11, 2009). The instant 

review will continue with respect to 

Koehler. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR § 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

We have been enjoined from 

liquidating entries of the subject 

merchandise produced and/or exported 

by Mitsubishi. Therefore, we do not 

intend to issue liquidation instructions 

to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) for such entries entered on or 

after November 1, 2009, until such time 

as the preliminary injunction issued on 

March 17, 2009, is lifted. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 

751(a)(3)(A), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4).
