## Background

                    On January 25, 2005, Commerce published in the                     **Federal Register**                     the AD order on crepe paper products from China.[1]                                          On August 4, 2020, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the third sunset review of the                     *Order,*                     pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2]                                          On August 10, 2020, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from Seaman Paper Company of Massachusetts, Inc. (Seaman Paper), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]                                          Seaman Paper claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of the domestic like product in the United States.                

                    On September 3, 2020, Commerce received an adequate substantive response to the                     *Initiation Notice*                     from Seaman Paper within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[4]                                          We received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. On September 30, 2020, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.[5]                                          As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the                     *Order.*

## Scope of the Order

                    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 entered 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.

## Final Results of Sunset Review

                    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the                     *Order*                     would likely lead to the continuation or                           ( print page 78829)                        recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the                     *Order*                     were revoked is up to 266.83 percent.[7]
